| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another intense episode... Oh how Sumire as fallen now. As expected, Mitsuki's fighting abilities are impressive and always seems to be able to stay calm during any fight so far. I think it was somewhat interesting to see more of Sumire's past. I think Boruto is getting better with using his abilities. |
 |
| Wow, that was a terrible, anti-climatic ending. I couldn't feel a single emotion from the whole episode. It's a shame, specially when comparing to the Zabuza arc, which was the first Naruto one. I'm expecting the rumors to be true and the next arc to be Naruto Gaiden. Or at least soon enough. It would make a lot of sense since it would focus a bit more on Sarada, who hasn't got any attention so far. Also, reintroducing Sasuke and giving more screen time to Naruto and Sakura. Anyway, weak first arc, exact opposite of its predecessor. I'm still looking forward for what's to come. |
| Shit this episode was awesome. Boruto vs Nue and Sumire vs Mitsuki was so well animated. Chengxi huang did a great job with those cuts. I think we all saw the talk no jutsu coming but heck I don't even mind it now because Sumire is a really great character and it'd be a shame if she got written off from the story. 5/5 |
| Boruto has got nice Shadow Clone teamwork along with Mitsuki stopping the Nue from moving. Mitsuki vs Sumire was cool. Sumire back to normal & the Nue is not a threat. Back to the Academy next ep. |

| All i can say is, im let down.. Ill keep watching it for now |
| The obvious ending, not bad. Now back to the boring episodes again. I want some enemy to attack Konoha already, there has to be somebody out there. |
 |
| 2/5- Boruto used Talk no Jutsu on Sumire to end this arc. Like father like son I guess. Unless next week offers more, this was an underwhelming ending for this arc. I'm not too annoyed that Boruto used TnJ on Sumire because of the circumstances. I knew it was going to happen if they plan to keep her around for the series and I highly doubt they'd kill her off now. Off that train of thought, I was bored and I waited for Boruto to talk to her since I was sure she wouldn't be killed so soon. Anyways, I hope the next arc offers entertaining drama and good action. This arc was a little slow and ended with a whimper. I'm glad that Sumire is alive though and I really liked that Nue refused to kill Sumire. I thought that was a fairly touching moment. For some reason, I thought Nue was cute when it cuddled up with Sumire. It was weird though finding something so ugly be adorable at the same time. I really like that ED song. Not sure if it's going to be a new one since it highlighted all the key moments during this arc but the song was pretty good. I liked the last one better though. |

| Talk no jutsu is back, surprise, surprise ^^ Aside from that I liked the fight scenes, the choreography and animation were quite good. Was hoping this little arc would flow into a bigger one, but from the looks of it, it unfortunately doesn't seem like that atm. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| so.... after the build up , the ending to the arc kinda made me go.. 'is that it?' |
| Decent episode and fairly happy ending to the arc. Everyone is so harsh for the whole Talk no Jutsu, come on people it wasn't that bad. xD I will however agree that this arc did lack the emotional impact in comparison to any of the original Naruto arcs, Zabuza arc if we wanna compare first arcs. I get the sense they are trying to emulate the charm of the original but they aren't able to do it to the same degree. I didn't really feel anything towards the arc and characters itself and coming from someone who loves his Shounen, that's not a good thing. I think the main problem is that there is really nothing driving the conviction of the characters in this show (Save Mitsuki perhaps), unlike Naruto where the main characters were self motivated and had a huge number of scenes to drive home their resolve, a good example would be Naruto stabbing himself with the kunai to muster courage. In contrast Boruto hasn't really had anything to showcase why he wants to protect everything. Once again, I'm not saying what they gave us is bad, it's just that it pales in comparison to original. Nice work on the fight scenes though, they were really awesome. Good Job Pierrot! I said it last episode but I really dislike how they come up with ways to relegate Naruto to do nothing. I hope Sumire keeps her hair down, I like her that way more. :P Anyway, I'm looking forward to see where we go from here, a Gaiden adaptation would be nice. |
 |
| For as much as Boruto says he wants to be different, he just can't help solving the situation just like an Uzumaki would. lol The episode was nice though, can't wait to see what the next arc will be about. |
| +1 Boruto point to hate more about parent Nothing good nothing bad |
| Into the Internet! |
| Maybe if Boruto had learn Rasengan, he could've handle mini Nue himself. |
 |
| well that ends the nue arc; to be honest it was kinda crappy... i mean, everybody survived "even nue," couldn't they at least kill him i see that naruto finally got around to using sage jutsu (even if it was slightly -the animators definitely forgot about that in episode 13) they really gotta stop with the 'talk jutsu,' if we wanted a fairytale we wouldn't watch this too fairy tale; this episode was. but the action was great... mitsuki really brings something fresh to the table. on the other hand, it felt really reminiscent to the 'one tail' arc of 'naruto;' can't really explain how though... but it did feel like that "meh" let's see what the next arc brings (btw, i dont watch the post-credits scene; so i wouldn't know) |
 |
| Whoa Boruto's very own talk no jutsu lol like father like son |
KaiserNazrin said: Maybe if Boruto had learn Rasengan, he could've handle mini Nue himself. He learned talk no jutsu instead |
| If I may quote myself from last week: This will probably end with the typical Talk no Jutsu unfortunately. Well I'm not really upset or disappointed because honestly it was expected. At least this arc is over, I feel like it could have done without a few episodes, but I guess they padded things out to make it last a full cour. I wonder where the story will go now, more original stuff or maybe they'll adapt the baby mama drama known as Naruto Gaiden. And it looks like we got a new ED too, the song isn't too bad and I like the visuals, even if it mostly just recaps what happened in the series so far. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| If they're going to animate the Naruto Gaiden then god I hope rewrite and retcon the shit out of it. The gaiden encapsulates everything wrong with the Naruto franchise. |
| I've never heard of TnJ before, but I guess that means I'll become a Naruto fan when I eventually start watching it. I cried a little at the end of this episode :D |
| That was so ridiculous, Boruto talked his way out of the situation and destroyed the seal on President's back with WORDS, simply amazing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Talk no jutsu is back. Like father like son I guess. The fight scenes was pretty good. This was a decent arc. Nothing too special about it. |
 |
| So this IS Naruto remake. Some differences in how the story starts, but it all ends up being the same. And Boruto is basically Naruto v2.0, except even more annoying, which is almost impossible, but somehow they made it. I'll watch a few more episodes, then probably drop it. I've watched and rewatched Naruto already, I don't need more of the same. |
RyouKousaku said: 5 great moments in this episode 1. Boruto's eyes power 2. Boruto vs nue 3. Boruto and Mitsuki vs Nue 4. Sumire vs mitsuki 5. Sumire Flashback and Boruto TnJ(TalkNoJustu) 6. New ending yepp good summary of key points personally gave 5/5 because couldn't stop laughing for some reason, don't know why. |

| I'll preface this by saying that I'm a long-time Naruto fan (followed the series for 12+ years) so usually I eat up anything they put out without even looking at it -- except for fillers of course. But with that said, this episode just wasn't good. Maybe it's because I went in with such high expectations after the previous episode, thinking the show was going to take a darker turn here, but I was sorely disappointed when Boruto ended up talking Sumire out of her resolve. I mean, this is just a repeat of what we've already seen for 15+ years, isn't it? That was Naruto's gimmick -- his strength. And now Mitsuki says it's Boruto's "strength" as well? Does that mean this show is also going to focus on Boruto using Talk no Jutsu on his enemies? Either way it doesn't look like Sumire is going back to the Academy, so there's still room for some bittersweet ending to this arc. Or at least that's what I'm hoping. 4/10 |
| Interesting episode For a dead guy Danzo still creates a ton of problems for the village that he loved though. Nue is essentially a bomb that can be sent anywhere without warning eh. Boruto is just his father though in that he cares about his friends even if they were his enemies. Kinda a bit like the relationship that Naruto had with Sasuke. Boruto's tactic for dealing with Nue the first time was pretty creative. We also get to see Boruto's developing eye ability though and it's pretty impressive. Mitsuki though is still full of surprises though. Not surprisingly Sumire is determined to enact her plan for the village despite Boruto's attempt to convince her otherwise. Both are pretty skilled though. The fight between Sumire and Mtsuki was pretty good though. Its admirable that even after hearing both sides Boruto is still determined to stop them from killing each other. So Sumire was already starting to like the village that she was supposed to hate then and in the process have fun with others that she wasn't able to have before. The truth of the ghost problem though was explained pretty well. The revelation that Nue saw Sumire as her parent was interesting but it also made sense as well. Boruto's way of solving the problem sure was like Naruto in that he understood what caused Sumire to do what she did and used kindness and common sense to get through to her. Its nice that in the end Boruto managed to save Sumire from her fathers revenge though. Watching Nue who was an enemy until a short while ago carry them to safety was funny though. Im glad that things were resolved peacefully though. I wonder will Sumire one day end up as Boruto's love interest though. |

You're right, he and his father almost seem the same person in terms of personality and that's good, there's only one thing Boruto does not like, is that he does not try hard to understand his father's duties and when Tell him about his difficult past, he does not care. Only in the movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie; Is that thanks to Sasuke, understands and to tell the truth I'm looking forward to that time when he understands his father because I start to get tired of the lack of respect of Boruto to Naruto just because this is the Hokague XD XD |
| Boruto saves sumire and nue is a good boy :) Too bad her back tattoo seal is gone :( |
 |
| 2/10 Talk No Jutsu made things switch way to fast and easily. The episode felt rushed as a result. Boruto combat skills were below average, and still zero explanation for his eye. It feels really contrived and convenient The sole interesting part was Mitsuki's reveal of raiton on top of fuuton. We need more character development for this guy. |
| The battle between Mitsuki and Sumire was brilliant ♥ |
| I actually teared up this episode. I really love these characters. |
0v33t1 said: haniyeszer said: I always love Naruto for his talk no jutsu... So, I think, this episode is nice coz Boruto follows his father's personality. Except that Boruto wants to be nothing like Naruto, and Kishimoto stated that he wanted to make the children different from their parents, but for some reason they still made him exactly like Naruto personality-wise. It's total BS. TnJ will NEVER disappear. It's an integral part of the franchise. Kishimoto won't suddenly come and turn it into Tokyo Ghoul or any other edgy show. Villains will be getting their redemption, no matter what kind of lead we have. Seriously, people who hate TnJ should just drop the franchise, and should have done it so ages ago. Saving people from turning bad was the core theme of Naruto since the Zabuza arc, and will FOREVER be the franchise's core. Naruto franchise without this is like Star Wars without the Force and Jedi, or Game of Thrones without all the political infighting. |

| I don't get what's so horrible about this arc. It was totally fine. Talk not jutsu? Par for the course and also inevitable. What, you wanted Sumire to be killed or something? You gotta stop comparing this to Zabuza arc as well. It's not trying to be on Zabuza arc's level to begin with. Remember, the pacing of this show is much slower than Naruto. They didn't even graduate. Something like Zabuza Arc has yet to come. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| Also guys...not everything should be solved with killing or any kind of tragedy. I really liked that it was solved with a good talk. Also they can't show something awesome involved Naruto since is a prequel of Boruto the movie, so is too soon for Boruto comprehend Naruto's job like when he saw Naruto protecting everyone from the big nuke in the chunin stadium (otherwise that will change all the story making the movie be another timeline). |

Something like Zabuza Arc has yet to come. People forget they're still in the academy and the talk no jutsu actually makes sense here. Sumire's character arc was set up for one and Boruto made some solid points to save her. |

It was Narutos strength and that's what made Naruto cool. Like when he talked to Nagato or Obito. It got a bit repetetive but it's what made Naruto Naruto! I hate the fact that they made Boruto a Naruto copy but tried to tell the audience that he isn't a Naruto copy while he clearly is. Dissapointed to say the least, the anime would be much better if Himawari was the main character |
