----------------------------------------
Hmm, the new OP song is alright. About time we're getting into the more serious stuff again...

However, the monster that attacked Boruto gave me a weird impression. It just looks so horrid. On the other hand, the action seems alright and music too. Felt pretty fast paced with Boruto and his friends fighting that monster.

At least they managed to get through that nightmare.

This new opening is one of the worst I've ever seen in anime. The song is lame and the animation is just garbage. Disappointed. I hope this is not the final version.

Boruto messed up again, he shouldn't be so confident about his power.
Sasuke saved them back there.
Wow, he reached the enemy.

New opening was alright. Not bad. Not great. Definitely not worthy of this arc, but the ending more than makes up for it. I'm so impressed by how godly it looked.

Episode was great! I wasn't a fan of the animations during the fight with Zetsu but I liked the element of danger it gave off. Tone throughout the episode was nice and I wish to see more of it. Boruto was too eager and that backfired on him.

You can see them planting the seeds for the movie which is also really interesting to see and it'll make the movie arc more impactful IMO.

Urashiki. New Otsutsuki who was left out of the movie due to time constraints. He was in Kishimoto's original draft.

What's the big deal? It's not like some random OP impacts the show whatsoever?

OT: Wow, an actual decent episode where things happen, I wonder how long until we get another one.

3 Kekse genkais? U mean elemental styles still it's just a fckn white zetsu. konohamaru as a child took out a path of pain so this shouldn't be a problem.

To be honest, I usually love anime openings, and I can't remember any opening that felt really boring, or bad. This one, though, I'd say it's a "barely okay" opening for me. The ending is good at least, in my opinion.

The episode itself was meh.
I get it, we are progressing, but that battle scene seemed so off. Konohamaru could have just hit that white Zetsu with his rasengan, and that's it. He had so many opportunities. He even waited til Boruto hesitated whether to attack or not, even attacked, and then Konohamaru stepped in just after that. Konohamaru also seemed to be heavily nerfed there.

Somehow they have to put Boruto into the center, but sometimes it can seem so strange.

Anyways, what I'm happy about is that we are progressing, and at the end of this episode, we saw the beginning of the Boruto movie, and next week it's about Himawari's birth day. The Chunnin Exam arc just began. I hope it won't get extremely stretched, and it will be good.

I mean, I don't blame you, I myself was shocked when I learned white zetsus are supposed to be Kaguya's "weapons", "armies" for a ridiculously strong opposition but we all know white zetsus are weak af this kinda thing are inconsistencies common in battle shounens so I'm more surprised that you were more surprised about Konohamaru getting owned by a mutated white zetsu than the fact that white zetsus are supposed to be kaguya's "weapons"

It's just that pretty much every character from the original series was weakened so much in boruto and that's just nonsense.
I mean do you remember when in the beginning the class rep tryed to destroy the village with her pet ? It was so dumb that Naruto didn't just go sage mode and punch it to death. Or that shin was even able to react to Naruto with moves at fckn light Speed...... yea I kinda hate the boruto series

Finally new OP, but it's quite strange, like it didn't work out. The ED on the other hand is pretty good.

Finally some action taking place, although it's weak stuff, it can't be helped.

So we see the 3rd Otsutsuki member that was cut out from the movie. Noice

New OP and ED because This New Generation series reached 52nd episode which is basically 1 year!
All of them had a hard time fighting last remnants of the White Zetsu!
nice we've seen the rare power Amaterasu!
looks like Boruto will start to begin idolizing Sasuke!
5/5.

Didn't really like the new OP, but it seems like that's what we'll be stuck with for the next 25 episodes. The ED wasn't too bad though.

Lol Konohamaru shouldn't even bother giving Boruto orders anymore. "Don't overestimate your own power." Then what does Boruto do? Overestimates his own power and tries finishing White Zetsu off by himself.

Anyway, the fighting wasn't spectacular but the episode was decent. I liked seeing Sasuke at the end, as well as Momoshiki and Kinshiki. With that setup, plus Himawari's birthday next episode, looks like we're officially starting the movie adaptation.

I agree that it's weird that almost every character has gotten weaker since Shippuden, i just assume due to lack of constant conflict over the last decade, they weren't training as hard as they once were. Though i do disagree with your Nue example, since kakashi told naruto not to go sage mode cause Nue would just soak up all the chakra and explode, and this time death would be permanent for eveyone in the village since noone around to use Rinne Tensei

Sage Mode doesnt use chakra and sage of six paths sage more aswell and in sage mode his physical strengh increases a lot so he could just punch it to death. Also it doesn't make sense that everyone got weaker because we see that in the last when Naruto fights on the moon he I see much stronger then in the war arc also his powers mostly rely on natural Energie and his his kyuubi chakra mode and these things can't get weaker doesn't matter if he trains or not

The new OP is sorta drab ... idk it’s not as good as the last 2
I like the ED tho! It cool

Honestly a Boruto just need to have a training montage episode or something ... it a little annoy seeing him over-estimate his power everytime!

Sasuke ... I don’t like him ! I think he should be in the same postion as Orochimaru!

Good Episode this week

Not a fan of the new opening or closing themes.

A really intense episode though, glad to see another serious arc start up.

I would love to see a sequence of episodes with Boruto and others actually training and trying out new jutsu akin to some of the episode from the original series.

Interesting new opening. This white zetsu sure is powerful being able to wield three jutsu styles. So the gift to Boruto was a FB grenade. The strategy that they came up with sure was interesting and would have worked if Boruto had not spoiled it. To think that Sasuke already found and took care of the majority of the threat before. An interesting episode that showed to Boruto and the others that powerful as they think they are they are still not strong enough to face threats that his father faced.

But why didn't he do that instantly ? I mean nue didn't teleport immediately and Naruto moves at light speed so he could have stoped the threat easily.

Because, if I recall it, you just can't activate sage mode instantly. It takes some time and concentration to collect the natural energy. Unless Naruto learned to do it instantly but I don't remember that.

New opening sequence sucks. Both in visuals and symbolic department. So far the most decent one was ending sequence with Sarada and her parents. And then there is a new ending... And most of you even agree (or in that regard I agree with you) with me, so we can't just turn out to be wrong on spot... then why...
It really feels as if there are too many different people working on the series, at different times. With maybe one person, the original creator, being the only connecting tether? Those different production committees seem to posses differentiating capabilities and devotion, and the lacking ones are somehow always creating the most of the series. It takes me a moment to remember the Mitsuki origins episode, and I just... don't want to understand why the masterful people behind it do not lead the whole process. It saddens me greatly. Such potential, and such... irresponsible approach to it.

New Op looks kind of rough, but could be worse. The end tho was pretty interesting. Although Konohamaru was getting thrashed (Most likely to prolong the fight to cover most of the episode) by that white Zetsu, it was interesting to see Boruto's reaction to an enemy he was helpless against (so he can finally start understanding the reality
of the situation and not just "luck out" against everything)

I know I was complaining about not having a new OP yet a few episodes ago, but this new OP... oh boy, that animation is rough. Song's not great, either. ED's really good, though.

So it looks like we are getting a movie arc after all. That's disappointing, I was hoping this show would avoid the failings of Dragon Ball Super.

1 year anniversary episode. Boruto tries to shine again but is easily taken down; They’re really making him unlivable at this point cuz of how consistently he messed up. Also Konohamaru should have easily been able to take down the white zetsu. And I like the build up for when Boruto meets Sasuke but am I just gonna have to live through what happened in the movie for the third time(read the manga)
