| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, we got Boruto vs Shikadai this episode. I have to admit, Shikadai is pretty smart with his usage of shadows just like his father. Similarly, Boruto reminds me of Naruto when he used to fight with his clever tactics. The fight itself was okay. Again, I didn't expect it too much tbh. Also, the sand ninjas are dominating again. |

| Cho cho vs Black garra was so lame but at least that annyoing girl lost I really cant stand her. Also I was really looking forward to boruto the cheating bastard getting exposed but I guess they had to strech this out. Let's hope Mitsuki goes all out next episode. |

blfan said: Maybe I remembering it wrong, but I thought this is when Boruto got busted for cheating in the movie, am I wrong was it later, or are they adding stuff? Yea they changed the events of the movie normally Naruto would have exposed him now and then the attack would begin. |
| Wow, apparently the anime has a slightly changed/extended route. By now Boruto should have been exposed. I wonder if Boruto is going to get exposed by Naruto, or he's going to admit that he cheated (very unlikely), or what I could imagine is Boruto getting to the finals against Shinki, and he notices that Boruto is cheating, and grabs him by his arms, and exposes the tool in front of everyone. That would be really humiliating, and maybe a better route than the movie's. Next episode Mitsuki is fighting again, and apparently struggling. I really wish he'd just say "f it!" and would use sage art. Everyone would be surprised, but that's really something a shounen like this needs. It'd be really badass, and I'm sure most peopel would like it, even if it'd make everyone look at him in a weird way. My prediction is that Mitsuki's going to say "not worth it, my parent wouldn't want that", so he just gives up without an exciting fight instead. I hope my prediction fails. |
| Cho Cho vs Shinka was kinda obvious. At least she tried to win in the end using that technique. She wasn't a match for him. Shikadai almost got Boruto, he have a sharp mind like his father. But in the end Boruto ended using the cheating. Funny that in the movie, he would be busted by now. Sand ninjas are arrogant, let's see how this will end. Realy want Mitsuki to use his sage power. |
 |
| Shikadai gave up very quickly, and then he cries:) |
| Cho Cho lost, no surprise there. Lol, nobody noticed Boruto cheating? So much for the ninja world, they can't even notice a cheater. |
 |
| Cho-cho is honestly a breath of fresh air in this series. All the other kids feel like cheap knock-offs of their predecessors. Cho-cho feels like the only character who has anything unique or original about them. Btw, that backstory with Gaara and Shinki was weak as f***. They couldve done a lot better with that. |
| As I said again and again i hope he get caught soon (boruto), it's pretty annoying and the guy who gave him that item doesnt looks right |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Who knew the Sand village would dominate THIS much? Almost reminds me of a the part 1 Exams |
| Minori Chihara <3 |
| Looks like things has been changed to extend the exams. Cho Cho vs Shinki was okay, it was pretty obvious she was going to lose. His backstory was so weak. Boruto feels bad for cheating against Shikadai, as he should. The Sand Village sure are dominating. |

Daniel_Naumov said: True, he will certainy use an attack that he's not supposed to know and he'll get caught or he could as well show the tool by mistake or even shinki could guess it and get boruto disqualified. (sorry for my english :s)Sephyros said: As I said again and again i hope he get caught soon (boruto), it's pretty annoying and the guy who gave him that item doesnt looks right I think it is obvious he is going to get caught during the match with Shinki, who will trigger him that much that he will recklessly use the tool, bringing attention of Naruto. It has to be a Naruto who snatches him, otherwise the effect would not be as dramatic. |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Boruto missed his chance to stop cheating but he goes thorugh with it. Chocho loses but good try. |
 |
| That was a cool & useful technique developed by the Nara's... |
 |
| I've loved Gaara since he first showed up on screen in Naruto. I can't stand his son, Shinki, right now. And Boruto? Probably my least favorite character next to Shinki at the moment. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| I hate boruto (the character) I don't think boruto (the anime) can get the same love we've given naruto, in its current state. Although what they're are doing now nicely sets him up in a bad light from which he must redeem himself Dammit shikadai, you should've won. |
 |
| waiting for when Boruto to finally get caught, since according to what everyone else is saying, it should've happened by now very scum shit to "cheat" against his best friend after promising to fight fair and square....looks like Naruto wasnt the only one in the family to break "man-to-man" promises. worse that he knows its wrong and still do it on the bright, Cho Cho held her own even tho she didnt lay one finger on Gaara's kid |
| I was hoping Cho Cho to put at least one scratch on Shinki´s face. And also, Shinki migh be looking down the kids a little but he´s right, few of them have what it takes to be called a Shinobi. I hope they soon find a reason to fight |
| im suprised shikadai didnt reflect on those last moments more in that ending hallway seen with his other teammates, i was expecting him to say something like "hmm something felt off that match, isnt boruto only able to use 4 clones" like he stated directly to boruto right before the match starts. Idk maybe he'll do that reflection once boruto actually gets caught , but overall fav part was shikadai using that new nara tech was pretty creative and a nice counter strat just needs to be able to hold the opp down so they cant move completely. Im looking forward to shinki vs mitsuki |
| Very nice of ChoCho to go all out like that and give her all trying to win, sadly the Sand guy was too strong for her. Feels bad about Shikadai losing like that when he had Boruto cornered. Looking forward to Sarada vs that masked guy. |
 |
| Well I was really looking forward to seeing Boruto get busted this episode but it looks like that'll come a little later. I guess it's kind of nice, now we get to see more matches (like Shinki vs. Mitsuki) instead of the exams getting cut off right here. I didn't like how half the episode was used on a match that had the most predictable possible outcome, but I guess it was nice to see Chocho attempt to hold her own against Shinki. The fight that was the namesake for today's episode was pretty decent, it's unfortunate that, as a result of changes, Shikadai lost, but he put up a good fight. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Chouji is such a great father, imo. And since I watched the movie, I expected that Boruto will be caught by Naruto for cheating. But no, this wil be more interesting than I thought. Especially they added the last scene that Boruto feels guilty for not fighting with his best friend fair and square. |
| I am not as impressed by the fighting in Boruto as in Naruto's time. Everything seems a bit boring and the fights are felt to end faster. Mitsuki vs Shinki looks like a remake from Gaara vs Sasuke, but it also feels a lot less hyped. Gaara vs Sasuke was suggested as the ultimate fight of her generation. Nevertheless, I'm curious. |
| After 50+ episode of fighting Nue , fighting shark guy (forgot his name) and now Boruto becomes such a coward, cheater, unlikeable and weak-willed character. Boruto is already boring as character and with this movie addition he becomes more and more annoying. For god sake can we just swap the main character please? i accept Sarada, Mitsuki or even Shinki. |
| Now we wait for the backlash of Boruto cheating. I imagine that this will creat a rift in shikadai and Boruto’s friendship as well as immensely pissing off the other village’s Genin. Sounds like fun. Edit: come to think of it this may be where most of my hate for Boruto (character) came from. Of course I’m talking about when these scenes played out in the movie if I confused anyone. On top of that how disrespectful he was to his father who at his age would have sooner punched that scientist in the jaw than accept that tool. 2nd Edit: to clear something up by ninja rules cheating is normally part of the job description. However the tool pretty much puts everything in easy mode and not allow us to see how powerful the ninja wielding the tool is when backed into a corner. When everyone else is trying their hardest. In a few years maybe this tool will be allowed in the exams. Right now though it’s too strong and new to help test to see if ppl are worthy of promotion. |

| i'm pretty disappointed in these fights. they're going by way too quickly. At first i thought it was because the producers just wanted to get to the point where the movie was and have bourto be exposed, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. Man i wish they would have taken more care of these fights i wanted to see what sarada was made of and the others. It's like they just wanna rush boruto's childhood just to get to when he's older. i haven't seen any growth in borutos character yet and were already at the exams :/ |
