Sometimes, I still find it amusing how much technology has evolved from this show. I mean, it's obviously beyond the previous timelines.

The fight...was okay I guess but I wasn't too invested into this one compared to the previous episode. At least they managed to get the most valuable candidates into the next round.

The third match between Tsubaki and Denki has finally begun. The only person who fights without any ninja techniques and then there's Denki who fights with the help of Scientific Ninja Tools. Both have their own style of fighting. Other than that, Boruto and Mitsuki both have been disqualified. LOL. Really wanted to see both of them fight.

Denki looks weird with that thing but whatever, at the end of the day, it's the result that actually matters. I like Tsubaki. She's really cute and strong. Surprised that Denki improved so much and was able to defeat Tsubaki. It was an alright episode.

Well a really nice episode and as expected Boruto vs Mitsuki will not happen but then again I think we would witness battle between the two in the future, cause if their battle would've took place it would've became a controversial topic.



Anyways In today's Chunin bout Iron Man takes the win against the Samurai

By far the worst EP in all of Boruto. Boruto vs Mitsuki was the only thing everyone was hyped for and they get disqualified bc of some bad Amado side story.... And then Denki winning against Tsubaki with some rip off sharingan transformer suit suddenly Denki using light speed becoming the raikage or something like what was this EP i can't even understand how they could ruin the Anime so much in such a short time

Nevermind, wrote my comment inbetween the episode.
They seriously ended it without a match between Boruto and Mitsuki..
2/10 for the whole arc.. only sarada's match was great.
The aftermath was chill though
They probably won't even show us the fun fight they're doing in the end LOL


Yeah, Konohamaru is probably the worst and the most useless character ever.

damn it was so stupid, Boruto and Mitsuki got disqualified, it just so poor writing just because of that Amado ass side story that means nothing at all.

Samurai vs Science, good fight but it could be better
ngl i didn't expect Tsubaki to lose here.

The only good match was Sarada vs ChoCho.

look at the preview, really?
how weak they gonna make Konohamaru again?
he is so Trash bro.

Holy shit, they both really get disqualified. Lmao. Sadge no chuunin Boruto. But at least there's a good boy with a powered suit that got the victor. Lightning style for the win, actually, and little bit of plot armor where such a Tsubaki underestimating her opponent. Smh. Pretty underwhelming chuunin exam arc, as i predict from the start.

As expected, each team now has one Chunin, so Denki's win wasn't a surprise. Realistically though, Tsubaki should have won, scientific ninja tools are literally a cheat code. They took Denki from virtually useless to OP just like that.

And lmao we really got robbed of Boruto vs. Mitsuki. That match could have just ended in a draw to keep Sarada as her team's only Chunin, but nope, we just don't get the fight at all because of that pointless Amado subplot that went nowhere smfh.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Another reason why the audience hates these stupid anime canon. The prev gen shinobis will commit suicide if they see a guy using toys becoming a chunin over an actually skilled shinobi. Don't give me that "I'll use my last amount of chakra"shit, plot armour at its sheer best. Honestly Tsubaki should've won she's the result of the first collab between ninjas and samurais but anime canon writers decided to give the dumb ass win to the kid of a rich businessman tinkering with machines. Title of the episode should be "How to ruin the original world building in 23 mins".

Let's be honest, the importance of the ranks "Chunin", " Jonin" has long lost its value.

Yeah, this takes the cake for the poorest written crap in the whole franchise. This 'Shigenobu, Kou' guy should never be allowed to hold a pen again. It doesn't help that they're constantly bombarding us with fillers/anime canon, which add nothing but plot holes to the actual story. And speaking of plot holes, what was that "I'm gonna use my last chakra" asspull at the end? Lame arc filled with terrible subplots that went nowhere (I'm looking at you Amado). Once again Konohamaru a Jōnin who defeated one of Pain at a young age is getting tied like you know what and has to be saved repeatedly. I bet that these days, even Himawari can match him.

This episode was decent. I'm glad Denki won and he used his own strength at the end and didn't exactly win just bc of Scientist cheat thingy. Could've been nice if this episode was about the fight Boruto vs Mitsuki but yeah. Wasn't that bad, just a bit boring as too many fillers lol

Well done, samurai against science. Boruto and mitsuki for being too strong until the director of eps 226 intentionally made them both disqualified because of sage mode and karma. I'm still waiting whether the sparring battle at the end of the scan will be continued in eps 227

Well. the episode wasn't that bad honestly and I had a feeling Denki was going to win. Scratch my previous comments, I actually got the 4 predictions correct since there were only 4 chunnin to guess by the end. Kinda lame that they pull a "Yu-Gi-Oh!" by leaving the last match off-screen but either way it was entertaning.

Now the preview for the next arc... doesn't really get my hopes up.

All these people saying the episode was bad or had poor writing simply because Denki won and Boruto and Mitsuki got disqualified sound dumb. First of all it was obvious at least one member of each team would become chunin. Secondly you guys are only saying Denki uisng scientific ninja tools is lame or it's cheating or whatever because you don't like the fact that Denki beat Tsubaki simple as. If you fucking watched the episode you would see that the episode went out of it's way to explain how powerful Denki was in his scientific ninja tool. Tsubaki said that if she hadn't dodged Denki's first attack her blade would have been cut. It's like you guys didn't see the huge crater Denki's punch made. Or the fact that his suit allowed him to predict Tsubaki's moves before it was rendered useless anyways. Even before this episode there was huge foreshadowing that Denki in his new scientific ninja suit was really strong. A few episodes ago Denki beat Metal with relative ease and Metal isn't a weak ninja his anxiety is his weakness. Denki shocked both Iwabe and the Scientific Ninja tool Scientist and at the end of the day Denki still beat tsubaki with his own chakra showing that he's not completely reliant on scientific ninja tools. Whether or not Denki was using chakra while in his scientific ninja is irrelevant since at the end of the match Denki still had enough chakra to using two jutsu to finish Tsubaki off. Both lightning style showing that he's been training behind the scenes. It's like everyone forgot that scientific ninja tools are both allowed and now accepted in boruto. Everyone needs to just get used to it at this point.

Besides the rule where you are allowed to use Scientific Ninja tools you've made is because of people like Kawaki. Kawaki can't become a ninja if new rules aren't made to consider people in his situation. His entire body is a scientific ninja tool after all.

Darn. I thought we'd get to see Boruto vs Mitsuki. Ah well.

This is just the beginning for Denki. I'm looking forward to him having a full Iron-Man-esque suit one day.

That last jutsu was awesome.

Its good that Tsubaki's staying. And we got 4 new chuunin. That tease of a fight doesn't make up for the missed opportunity to see them duke it out but oh well.

Chuunin exam 2 arc is over. It might be a while before they get back to the manga, but I'm enjoying these episodes.

The episode is a straight 8/10 for me. Science vs Samurai. At first I thought "ah this gonna be lame" but after seeing that fight? Sheeesh it was wild.

And I liked what the Denki did at the end. Not only did he hone his scientific skills but he also honed his Ninjustu at that. It reminded me of when Ao at the end of the day used Ninjustu despite seemingly never using it more than a decade after the war.

My Goodness. This was my favorite match-up, and it was super unexpected. I love my boy Deenki, I was literally on the tip of my toes cheering for my boy, I giggled when he made an entrance with that full-on Exo suit but then it get me all amped up and ready to jump from excitement. And to top that off, the way he used his own authentic Jutsu and finished Tsibaki off, he was so cool.

I'm so disappointed though that we skipped Boruto's and Mitsuki's match, although, it would have been too over the top for those two to fight, literally, a match bigger than anything even compared to part one Naruto Chunin exam.

That match between Denki and Tsubaki was pure fire! I knew Denki was going to pull out his suit, but I didn't know that he would have a motion sensor that predicts enemy movements like the Sharingan and use Lightning Style to amplify his own reaction speed and reflexes. PURE GENIUS, except for the fact that it's a prototype and overheats. But then when he was able to using Lightning Style: Overdrive in combination with Lightning Style: Elekiter to finish it off, man that was purely poetic!

Everyone is happy about the four new Chunin and it sucks that Boruto and Mitsuki didn't get their match, but they've decided to duke it out with each other in the middle of the night. This'll be exciting for sure!

I can't wait for the future episodes!

To be honest, I enjoyed the fight and the outcome. Sure, it's strange seeing mechs in a ninja-based world, especially in Naruto universe... but that is the whole point of Boruto, it is centered around a world where technologies coexist with mystical ninjas. It's not like Denki rent his suit either, he built it himself, so props to him.

Why is denki allowed to use ninja tools meanwhile boruto wasn't?I get it they changed rules because of kawaki, but he is not like he wanted the body that he has now, and should not be considered like the others. What I'm also saying is everyone or no one, nothing in between. If ninja tools are permanently allowed it would ruin everything imo, anyone can power up so easily using them. I think ninja tools should be used just by police man and normal people who aren't ninja's. Because again, with ninja tools around anyone can match anyone, and it just doesn't make sense. I can understand villains using them, but ninja's as well? Mhh, what do you all think? Like in this world something as powerful as a rasengan or a chidori can be completely countered by everyone, even by a grandpa, he just needs a damned tool and he is good to go

So I waited to see how angry fans will be about skipping Mitsuki VS Boruto before finally commenting. HAHA it's as expected. I'm annoyed too, but I understand why they had to do it.

I also don't like the whole cyborg thing. It's the thing I dislike most about Boruto. The only reason I didn't completely hate the episode is because Denki at least won the fight with an actual jutsu and not his cyborg suit. Honestly though, no matter how smart Denki is, he really lacks the physical capabilities of a chuun. So his promotion is a bad idea if you ask me.

Wasabi and Denki both aren't chuunin worthy actually. Sorry :P

different times, now they are allowed to use tools created by themselves, and denki worked on making it alone (with some explanations from the doctor ofc)

that doesn't make this episode any less stupid, denki literally became Sarada (sharingan + lightning super strong punches) ... sooooo interesting lmao

oh well, at least Tsubaki is staying in the anime for longer :D

we also got an explanation on why the 3 sand ninjas were watching the match, they were checking if Kawaki was not a threat, that explains why they were always looking at him lol

next episode title tho... and yeah, would be nice if we saw their fight at the end, not just tease it and (probably) start next episode with nothing

Man, they were disqualified instead of the expected moving their match for later until they arrive. Although I'm more annoyed Boruto and Mitsuki didn't bother to tell Naruto the whole details of their little side mission because I thought it'd lead up to a bigger plot down the road.

But I'll be on the flip side and say this episode was good. It was about time for Denki to prove himself in combat instead of just using his brain (and technology) while the rest act as his muscles and him not giving up even when he lost his suit was the icing of the cake. And Tsubaki not leaving her team was the cherry on top.
