This series really has a thing for clones lol

We got Boruto taking on the guys fromo the Hidden Mist village this week. Seems Boruto is trying to prove himself to everyone. I'm glad to see that he has the support of his Father.

Seeing the OG cast so proud of their children was really nice to see. Naruto actually making an effort to congratulate his son, and Sasuke being his ever so cool self after learning of Salads win was nice too. It hurts to know that they were all so proud of Boruto, knowing what's going to happen next welp.

Judging from next weeks teaser it looks like the next episode will focus entirely on the last few matches before the attack.

And this series seriously expects me to belive he is to bussy to go home to his family.

Sasuke trying to teach Boruto with a lesson using clones, ahh.

The Otsusuki clan is making their moves. That attack is interesting. Boruto finally used the device. Everyone is starting to get suspicious.

That Boruto and Naruto scene. He really have struggles expressing himself to the son lmao, but at least he is supporting the son more this time.

Finally, My most anticipated part is finally coming up... THE TOURNAMENT...

Cant wait to see all genin fight in one vs one battle

Couldn't see them in the movie cz they kept skipping all the fights and only showing Boruto's matches
I like Furina, I love Furina.

Sigh... I usually don't comment on Boruto and only watch this to calm down my for Narrator-withdraw-symptoms but this episode was really nasty. Let's start with the obvious which is, this second exam is absolute garbage compared to the forest of death... other than that though, did they really have to put that Lee vs Gaara reminder here to remind us how absolutely terrible this series is in comparison... sigh.

Last but not least... I surely skipped a lot while watching this series but over all I got it that Boruto is about Sasuke-level pre-timeskip and yet suddenally the moment the movie plotline hits, his overall level plummets down to sakura level... which is saying a lot.

This series really doesn't give crap about consistency does it?

(sigh... I ended up hating on Boruto again... oh well it happens every time even when I don't mean to.)

In his defense, he still had to learn and master a jutsu far above his ranking which isn’t what anyone can do to prove himself. Boruto’s device is a On/Off cheat switch lol.

Boruto only just did that bcoz of his situation which is quite worse than Naruto and he took so long before finally using it, if Naruto is in Boruto's situation he wouldn't even hesitate to use it

Still a bit too fast tbh, slow down for heaven's sake and give characters time to shine before being dropped out... Ugh

The rest was cool and we got nice animations for the water jutsu, and the scene with naruto at the end was pretty darn cool.. Too bad what it's leading up to hurts me..

Sarada and Naruto doing things that require Boruto to use his arm is great xD

Lol at Boruto trying to hide the ninja tech from Naruto while he's AT HOME. Bro just take it off and hide it in a drawer or something.

Anyway, I'm actually kind of surprised we've reached this part of the Chunin Exam already. I thought they were going to HEAVILY expand on the movie and make this like 50 episodes, but with the way things are going, this could very easily be wrapped up in the next couple months possibly. It's a shame though, I would have liked to see "the others" get a little more spotlight before being ousted. Whatever, I'm looking forward to the one-on-one battles.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I think this ark is really being wasted. We dont have a lot of material to see after momoshiki fight and they are rushing things. Why not mixing some filler with canon/ movie content? I would like to see good fights like Kakashi vs boruto, and we are only getting some extras that dont give emotions, that are only ok in the animation context...im truly disappointed... I know that Naruto And Boruto series are different, but if they want to appeal to older generation audience they need to give us something more. Gaara vs Rock lee vs Metal lee vs shinki ??? Metal Lee doesnt have some high speed in his sleeve? in the other hand we have a OP chocho, but i couldnt see anything, only getting the flag lol The consistency of the scale of power of the characters throughout of the series is unbalanced. I liked the moment of father-son, but they changed boruto´s reaction a little bit...I hope they can improve in the next episodes...but i do not expect too much unfortunately

Ahh, that smug face really made my day.

This episode was okay, nothing really stood out; I'm really having on Boruto now though... This arc does nothing but show him in a bad light.

Anyway, I'm guessing now that those tattoos we saw on Boruto's hand in the first episode is a modified version of the ninja tool he's currently using; I mean it'll fit perfectly... But they may need to build on that for it to be the case.

Series is starting to get good with Chunin exam.

Gaara's kid looks like a beast, Boruto's clearly got prodigious talent but has been a disappointment and that tech is just a crutch for him now. Hopefully after getting exposed he gains some passion and really starts to develop his skills.

Naturally having good control over two nature releases in wind and lightning at his age is pretty crazy. He can actually use water release outside of bs technology right?

It is a pity that there is not such a scale in the exam as in Naruto, as well as the seriousness of what is happening, the authors want to squeeze in order to quickly continue the plot, but it's a pity the exam for the Chunin is quite an important event and it tries to get rid of it faster.

Boruto is lucky Ten Ten thinks so highly of the youth... otherwise he would have been caught!

You know Naruto tries! He at least starting in a good direction... but I still think he could have sent a clone to do work instead of at Himawari birthday party...
What did the Otsu dude take out of Garaa? I’m not sure if I understand

It has been 57 episodes now. A year and some of Boruto. 57*24=1368 minutes of screentime. AND YET SOME HAVE FAILED TO FATHOM THE LACK OF NEED TO PRODUCE A BLOOD TEMPERED WARRIOUR GENERATION IN A TIME OF PEACE?
I wonder what would happen had I shown those 1368 to chimpanzees instead...
-----------
It has been more than 15 or something years since the war. A full new generation of children is growing up, to whom the constant loss of parents and friends is unknown. The villages are restoring themselves and the relations between each other. This Chuunin exam is first of a kind collaboration between the largest village-nations - to show that the peace can be maintained, that everyone can enjoy seeing new generations rival with sportsmanship instead of bloodthirst. This is a big event for the planet in which they are supposed to promote cooperation, friendship of all people and proof of their goodwill. Would they want them to battle as if it was the last, would they want them to seriously injure each other to prove their worth as warriours? In a time of peace, order and relative harmony? Common sense tells me not.

True!

But his interactions with his kids (especially Boruto) when he wasn’t the Hokage debunk that... prior to him becoming the Hokage he was smooth AF when interacting with Boruto...

I hope to get an episode addressing this in the sense that Naruto goes to Iruka-sensei (the closest thing that he has resembling a father figure) talking about how is it tough to deal whit a kid turning into a teenager (more indept that the talks that he have with Shikamaru)…

As expected, no one of importance/useless side characters didn't proceed to the second round. I say this while actually liking Iwabe and Denki; I'm actually saying this more because I'm bummed that they don't get main character-style treatment-- heck, no one REALLY does. They kinda just threw them in the cast to throw them out, it seems. Also, it's like they write so much distance between the audience and the characters. I don't know how they managed to do that when, if anything, Naruto's characters were often the type you could get behind and like even if they didn't have a big role. I like friggen SUIGETSU, Karin, and Juugo of all characters-- characters in which I'm pretty sure they didn't need to exist for things to REALLY progress (though I appreciate even the small roles they had). Then Tenten is one of my waifus even though she really is a side character-- her role might be even smaller than or equal to at least Suigetsu's. BUT it's all about how you HANDLE your characters that makes them likeable, not the size of their role. And then we do see Iwabe and Denki doing nearly all the stuff that the rest of the gang is doing but also they do have their hurdles (same with Class Rep). So despite their designs which kinda appear side character-like and stiff in the first place, why don't their personalities pop? I just feel like not enough love is going into their characters...

But anyway, I hope Tenten catches Boruto good. Mah girl noticed something was off even though it seemed like she shrugged it off. I hope she follows through! I dunno. If not, that's okay too. She's still cute.

Quite worse than Naruto? You must be kidding me. Boruto or his team is not even in a life or death situation.

Being told that you lack the skills by your own clone though that was hillarious. Attacking a kage though was a bold move for the enemy. Governing can really be a pain though. Capture the flag is the next test huh. Gaara's adapted son though sure is powerful. The last ditch attempt to defend the flag sure was effective. Its good that they managed to pass the round and that Tenten did not catch him cheating. Though Sumire and Denki's teams lost at least they gave it their all. The moment between Naruto and his son though was nice. A really heartfelt moment between the two. The Chunin exams are proving be quite the interesting arc.

Damn, it's the little moments that they added in this episode that makes what's going to happen next hurt even more. I like how they are building up with the suspicions as well. Also, I'm sure each team member knows their own partners' abilities. Boruto being able to use water and lightning in a short amount of time is too suspicious.
