They sure do like bringing back that Bear Panda gag.

I feel like the whole 'lazy kawaki' thing was a bit of a caricature of his character. Kawaki isn't this clean cut that he just ignores anything and everything outside the scope of what he has come to love. His whole attitude is that he looks up to and appreciates Naruto - and so wouldn't that mean Naruto's values would have more of a wholistic affect on him beyond just selective moments to use as emotional payoffs?

as for the child recapture mission - that wasn't his fault but the team leader's decision to put an intimidating fighter front and centre in a mission to recapture a weak pleb. I'm willing to bet if any of the Konoha 11 from Naruto's gen had a similar experience at that age they wouldn't have batted an eyelid. This takes the "shinobi are getting soft" maxim to a whole new level...

ACTUALLY decent writing for once, made me care about Kawaki's new mini character development arc. Hopefully this sort of trend continues from now on, but I've been disappointed by Boruto writers time and time again so I don't have much hope.

I really love the scene before the opening, that's what having siblings is like. Boruto and Hima debating whether who will wake Kawaki up and the way Boruto wakes Kawaki is like a mom lol kaAAwAAAkII-KuUUnnnnnnnđź’˘

Looking forwards to Kawaki's road to a shinobi

Kawaki the attitude problem person! suits him very well! lolz! i just think Kawaki has his own conviction and it might not be shinobi-like but at least he has a grasp on it.
4/5.

Back to slice of life episodes …., this is the problem with Boruto , they have just had debatably the best arc in anime the last year then it goes right back to this stuff again. The show is too inconsistent


Yeah but it will just get caught up to the manga tho. It will go to filler ish content again still. Both ways still happens

I'm a little annoyed, Kawaki's actions kind of make sense, as he lacks any normal human development to an extreme, but at same time, it seemed like he had progressed further than where he is now and was actually integrated already. This would make sense for him, but seems like regression. I'm really annoyed, but I think he will come around. I still don't like it because his "not following orders" and "not wanting friends" seems so forced since he previously progressed past that!!!

I gave a 2/5, disliked it, due to forced regression. He should still have social problems and stuff but this is annoying.
