| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- For a mission, that got complicated. I'd had expected as such since Team 7 had to deal with more than just bandits. They had to fight against who to trust while protecting a girl named Kiri. The episode itself was okay, had a decent amount of psychology to it. Quite frankly, I think the mission is what Team 7 needed to get them to understand the importance of being a ninja. |

 |
| the boruto series had so much potential smh |
| We all knew a C or D mission will turn out A in the middle of the mission Don't like the new ED, also means no Goth girl, just clones of the previous generation smfh |
| And now we begin to see why the first 35+ episodes of this show killed the new kids credibility. So Mitsuki is good enough to beat Shino... But now he can't do jack shit against a piss poor shinobi? Boruto and co could help the hidden mist deal with their msjor issues but now look weak against this new group? In the original series when Zabuza showed up it was a clear indicator of how far Naruto, Saskue and Sakura had to go in terms of development. Boruto and co have already surpassed that shit. This series will send sooner rather than later. |
Ozox said: When you're hoping for a Zabuza, but you know we won't get one. and get Zabuza wannabe instead. lol |
| As expected, their mission will be a lot like Naruto's first one. |
 |
| Seriously now? We're repeating the Zabuza arc? ------------- Anybody else is starting to hate Boruto? (not the series, the character) He's becoming too arrogant to his own good. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Well it was obvious that this mission wasn't going to be, in Boruto's words, a piece of cake. Let's see how they handle this complicated situation. Also, I don't really care for the new ED. Oh yeah, one more thing, I also really liked that shot of Naruto's generation when those guys were talking about strong Leaf ninja who survived the war. It was a small part of this episode, but it just looked really cool. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Team 7 are on their first mission and it has gotten a bit more complicated, which is to be expected. Let's see how they are going to handle it. |
 |
| Nice to see Konohamaru serious side analyzing the situation like an elite ninja/teacher/adult should be, hope next episode show him like a bada$$ |
 |
| Well OF COURSE it just couldn’t be a simple mission! That would work with anything I’ve learned from Shonen structure! But tbh I’m excited :) so ! Idc if it’s generic ! Also the new ED is cool :) |

| The classic inappropriately classified D mission. Like others have said, being that there are literally missions to find someone’s lost pet, it’s weird that a mission actually involving fighting isn’t classified as a C. The whole death thing was weird too. In an age of peace death is out of the norm so it was weird to watch them act like nothing happened. Further, we at least know that Mitsuki has activated sage mode so it’s weird to see this disconnect where they act like these enemies are so strong when they’ve not only conquered more in the past, but might even be stronger themselves. Action-wise I enjoyed the episode, but it was definitely inconsistent. The ED graphics were nice and even though the four main teams were obvious from the start I’m still sad about Kakashi clone/goth girl. |
 |
| Boruto always being a little shit is one thing... but copy/paste first missions too? |
| in all honesty I want boruto to be in a real battle were he cant do anything and then feels powerless cause thats the only way to fix his ego |
| Boruto was a mistake! |
| honestly the whole first mission being D rank turning into a B rank is so predictable but nonetheless satisfying. I didn't like what they did with sarada in this episode though do to one thing that she said, "I couldn't do anything " or something like that, but it just gave me that useless sakura vibe (not that she's useless but thats how she was portrayed for much of the first naruto series imo). Other than that I'm just waiting on some good fights in next weeks episode hopefully. Really liked the ending too it really sounded and felt less childlike and festive, instead it gave me the vibe of action and I hope that's what we'll get in the coming episodes. Aside from all that, I hope Konohamaru really gets the screen time he deserves as the series goes along, really curious to see what he's picked up over all these years. Also hoping to see some good stuff outta Boruto from a jutsu standpoint as we all know that Naruto's jutsu range is kinda limited to rasengan and shadow clones lmao (still love ya Naruto). All things aside, I liked the nostalgic feel of the small village type of thing that we got in the beginning of Naruto as well, I'm glad they're kinda following a similar storyline to what Naruto did up until now, some of the best parts of Naruto were the parts when they were still young kids finding themselves stuck in the dangerous world of shinobi and I'm glad they're going back to that as they should. |

| Jesus man, just how many times do they have to repeat to damn Boruto that he shouldn't act on his own. Very nice new ending tho, I was expecting the movie arc to start from ep 40 but they got this mini arc in first I guess, here's hoping it won't go more then 3 episodes minimum. |
 |
| I wonder if it will be renamed The Great Boruto Bridge when this is all done. |
| I do like how that guy spoke of the survivors of the fourth great ninja war and how they shouldn’t be crossed. |
| I like the new ending a lot. So, after we just had an episode about the kids learning teamwork, we're having yet more episodes about the kids learning teamwork? Kinda lazy. |
| LOLZ! Who would have tought that Team 7's first official mission would be actually a complicated one! Lady Kiri is young but already pretty huh... 5/5. |

| Back in Naruto's time, D missions were about finding lost cats, items, and really simple stuff. C missions were mostly simple escort missions. Now in Boruto basically they were told to stop a war between villages. Even if it's one-sided, and they believed they were maybe bandits, or regular people. It's a D mission. Just the description of the mission sounded like a strong C, or a weak B one. Of course it turned out to be a B, or higher level by now. Basically, it's the repetition of the Zabuza arc. Just instead of escorting, they were actually expecting danger, and it already sounded a bit dangerous. I know it's only been one episode, and somehow and it might be different, but is it really that difficult to avoid going the same route? Low-rank mission turns out to be dangerous (probably) because of lack of money in the village, and both stories are little bit about a bridge. I don't mind these things that much, it just feels like the story writer aims for the nostalgia, but on a bit higher level. Anyways, I enjoyed the episode. Hopefully Boruto learns to be a bit more cooperative by the end of the arc. |
| Massive déjà vu from the Zabuza arc but I don’t expect this one to be as good. |
 |
| "no mission is a piece of cake you know" Yeah, sure mate. Says someone who wants an S rank mission as a genin. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Smh. Some of the comments on here are pure cringe. "Why isn't Boruto like Naruto, It's so childish" *Boruto symbolically references something from Naruto* "Why is Boruto so unoriginal? Copy of Naruto" -Boruto Haters logic (or lack of it). |
| So its finally time for their first mission then. Hmm so their first mission is stopping thieves from stealing food. But its nice to see that both Naruto and Shikamaru have reached a point where they worry about their sons first op's though. So the troubles started around the time that the previous head passed then. I guess its natural that Kiri would be wary at seeing the teams ages. But the change to the mission sure was a surprise. So what the enemy wanted was actually the deed. Even in this age of peace its nice to see that the mention of the village still restrains the enemy on account of the famous ninja's that still serve it. Still that was actually a good plan that the enemy used to draw out both the team and the village head and use that opportunity to kidnap Kiri. |

| time for the first mission and it's getting awfully close to what happened in Naruto nut we all know it won't be as good |

Low_Ki said: I'm blown away how many storylines are lifted from Naruto. It's not just the homages or the tone in a wink-wink way, they're lifting scenes and arcs and replaying them directly. OK I appreciate that Naruto was great and timeless....but Boruto really needs something to escape its shadow so it can stand on its own after 40 episodes. If this is just going to be a part 1 retread..... Agreed. They just keep recreating bits and parts from the original show. |
| People sometimes get upset, because they have expectations, while I don't have the intentions. |
| Last episode was way better :( |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| I was way too excited to see TenTen in the group still. Ozox said: When you're hoping for a Zabuza, but you know we won't get one. Exactly! |
Z4k said: I realized that a minute ago lolTokoya said: My boy Konohamaru had to show these fools why he's a boss and dat New Team 7 teamwork was great :'') Wrong episode discussion. |
| So all teams started to work, of course, Team 7's mission would change a bit... |
 |
| The mission changed of Range D to Range B!!! :/ |
| This kinda sucks hope the bad guys are somebodies at least. Its Zabuza all over. |
| No way this is gonna be as awesome az Zabuza/Haku arc :c But so far it was quite enjoyable, and that's already something. New ending is pretty good, not my favourite though. |
