| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, shit just got real this episode. We get to see Kakashi fighting too along with Sai like the old days. Also about time Naruto shows what he can do in this present timeline. He's still got it in him! |
 |
| Great episode. Sumire is the culprit. Kakashi is back & already dealing with a threat to the village. Nice to see him & Sai fight together. Oh man wanted to see Naruto use Kyuubi Chakra Mode, but a Nue bomb going off is not a good idea. Sumire, Boruto & Mitsuki transported to another dimension with the Nue. |

| The first interesting episode, let's hope that after this arc we won't go back to the lame class life of the wannabe ninjas. |
 |
| Well it's 5:00 a.m. and I haven't slept at all and now the episode was released so I'm watching it... Everyone's theories about the class rep being sus was right... but like she still like cute. Things are getting interesting and I'm excited! |

| Good episode. First off, KAKASHI!! :D Looks like Sumire was indeed the culprit as many people were theorizing, she's still cute though. Sumire should really let her hair down more often, she looks great with it down. So the name for our Ghosts and stuff is Nue, basically a suicidal chakra bomb. Interesting. I understand the point Kakashi made regarding Naruto using chakra based blasts but I don't see why he couldn't have just pummeled the beast down. He could've even tried Sage Mode to maybe trace the chakra origin and discover Sumire and try and incapacitate her. Sucks that he was basically relegated to Barrier team. Boruto wants to save everyone, that's understandable and let's hope he succeeds. xD |
 |
Ohh this eye is dope as fuck o_o |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| 4/5 This was far better than I expected. I had suspected it might be Sumire. Her revenge plan was pretty solid which rendered Kakashi, Sai and Naruto useless in this battle. All they could do was create a barrier and wondered what they can do. Looks like next week might be the climax of this arc. For once I'm excited and looking forward to an episode of Boruto. Really hope Sumire stays alive, I actually like her a lot. Is it me or does Sumire look taller in her new attire? |
 |
| Finally some action and serious stuff, but quite underwhelming directing. |
 |
| Next episode, Boruto shows how much he has learned from Naruto, by using Talk no Jutsu to make Sumire regret it. But wait! The monster is still unstopable. Nah, who am I kidding, Boruto will defeat it with the bs power from his eye kek |

blfan said: Yes Shikamaru we are going to show mercy on her. After we pardoned Sasuke after everything he did, I guess we have to show mercy on everybody now or else we will playing favorite hypocrites. Except Sasuke actually played a major role in winning the war. And this girl has done nothing to justify forgiving her. But of course they will. Well, not that mind it though |
| |
| Okay-ish episode, it feels like the anime deliberately has "weakened" every veteran character so that the new generation can find it's own way to beat the beast. I hope this doesn't end with the typical shounen way Boruto "convincing" the CP that what she's doing in wrong etc etc. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I'm gonna miss her "hawawa~" |
| Dat revelation, so Sumire is the culprit, didn't see that coming tbh. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i love how the drama from previous episodes are coming together towards this episode. I wonder how this is all going to develop. I am quiet confused in terms of how the story is going since we (im sure most of us have) have watched the Boruto movie, that the connections between the anime and movie are starting to split apart. I can't wait to see what else his eye can do and the connection between him and the "Nue" since he was able to summon him and use transportation jutsu on it. |
| It was thrill to the end! I did not expect Sumire to be the cause of those events. But in my opinion, she is not to blame for the evil she is doing. She is causing the cause because it has been imposed on her that the important thing is revenge and to finish what the father could not do, deep down she has no notion that she is making the evil dreams (or plans or whatever you want to call her) "Foundation" reality. I feel sorry for Sumire to have a cruel fate! It reminds me of Naruto when he was exactly the age of Surime and Boruto, do not you think? But also what makes me confused is what is the purpose of Mitsuki in this situation? In episode 12, Orashimaru said that Mitskuki was going to be able to do (or finish) what he could not do and my question is, WHAT ?! Did he know about the plans of this "Foundation" and could I predict that this would happen? I do not know but this is getting more intriguing and exciting! |
| Soooo that's why she's not in the opening and the ending with the others |
| I'm so happy to see Kakashi again. Him using Purple Lightning was cool. Sumire definitely is the culprit. Mitsuki has orders to kill her, but Boruto won't let him. Looks like they got transported into another dimension. Things are getting more interesting. |
 |
| Finally something interesting happens. I find it a bit sad Naruto didn't do anything, he became just another side character. He could have at least try to use some badass rasengan and fail miserably to make that beast stronger, so we could see some more action. |
| well, naruto has infinite chakra so why doesn't he just stand there and let the beast suck him until the beast overload of chakra and explode or something lol |
| Sumire with the exposed back and sealing marks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I don't like how she lost to mitsuki so easy, like come on :( |
 |
Kakashi and Mitsuki FTW....Also this was really cool |
| Awesome to see Kakashi in action again (even if it was brief), but shouldn't he look a bit older? He looked pretty old in the final chapter of Naruto so I think it's weird how he seems to have not aged at all in this. That lightning shit that Boruto's eye did was pretty cool and now he has to somehow defeat the Nue. This will probably end with the typical Talk no Jutsu unfortunately. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
Titadou said: Soooo that's why she's not in the opening and the ending with the others She appears in both the Opening (twice) and in the ending (once, near the end). Actuially, since so many people have trouble seeing her in the ED, here is a screenshot:  (I remember when I first saw her and lol'd at how she looks sinister) ttcchen said: well, naruto has infinite chakra so why doesn't he just stand there and let the beast suck him until the beast overload of chakra and explode or something lol They literally said that they don't want it to explode. With a damn good reason: it would probably be like dropping a nuke, especially if you add Naruto's chakra to it. |
 |
| Now Boruto had already ruined but not much. We know he did on purpose by using his dōjutsu and automatically active the transportation. This episode is getting interesting right now and we're going to see more details about Sumire's parent. |
tkrisz2 said: I think the idea is that the beast isn't that strong, Naruto could probably one shot it with a Rasengan but then it would blow up. This is a way for them to make Naruto's strength irrelevant to the situation without making Naruto as a whole an irrelevant character to the series.Finally something interesting happens. I find it a bit sad Naruto didn't do anything, he became just another side character. He could have at least try to use some badass rasengan and fail miserably to make that beast stronger, so we could see some more action. |
| I feel like Class Rep is gonna be another Hinata. SumireXBoruto |
TJtR said: Let's count some latest Naruto opponents: God/Alien from Boruto movie, Sasuke, Kaguya, Madara, Obito, Nagato, Pain. You know what they have in common? All of them, are rinnegan users, that can absorb chakra. And now Naruto can't even lift a finger vs sucking chakra beast... I know this is Boruto series, and Boruto is main character, but it doesn't mean, Naruto has to lose face from silly reasons ... Thank you! Someone finally said it. Yes it's about Boruto but making Naruto, the character we all actually like a minor character that can't do shit is annoying asf. I bet he could Taijutsu one shot it if he would want to. |
 |
| Nice episode, sad to see the new waifu in the making be the culprit but it is what it is I guess. During that summoning jutsu Boruto's eye did I thought he summoned the beast in the middle of the village lol. Looks like next week its the good ol' talk to jutsu. I hope Mitsuki kills her tbh or she sacrifices herself to give more chakra to the beast. |

Ulquiorra said: The first interesting episode, let's hope that after this arc we won't go back to the lame class life of the wannabe ninjas. LOL that's exactly what's gonna happen. |
| I liked the episodes before but the mystery was dragging on a bit too much. I am so glad we're starting to get some pay off here. Great episode. |

I know this is Boruto series, and Boruto is main character, but it doesn't mean, Naruto has to lose face from silly reasons ... What I took from that was Naruto couldn't do anything to attack the beast not because it would suck his chakra weakening him, but because it would suck his chakra and use it to explode and destroy the hidden leaf. With Naruto's chakra it could probably even do more damage. Basically the whole purpose of Nue was to blow up anyway taking the village with it so it would be unwise for Naruto to hurry the process along. |
| By far the best episode in Boruto. The previous episodes don't even compare to this. |
| Only in death are we all equal. |
| I'm the opposite, I'm not a fan of them making Naruto out to be weak. Naruto has already beaten chakra absorbing things in the past. Making him out to be this desk jocky who can't be used in battle is really annoying. I like almost all the children in the show a lot, especially Mitsuki, very mysterious and interesting. Boruto however I really dislike. He's just a bitchty little brat that's mad daddy doesn't have enough time to pay all the attention in the world to his family. |

Sumire is totally indoctrinated by her father. She's doing everything for her father and a revenge that it's not for her. It'll be a talk no jutsu and in this case it's makes sense |
| So lets just pretend like everyone didn't just get nerfed. Shit episode. The mystery isn't anything unique. Culprit turns out to be the least expected, who would've guessed. |
| Well aside from the slice of life of Boruto grandpa & Aunt this is my favorite episode so far it has great intensity/vibe, and I now this is Boruto story but it felt like I was watching a continuation of Naruto story but the protagonist was his son like this show is supposed to be, so far so good I hope the serious tone/atmosphere doesn’t drop in the following episode... |
