One of the very few rare times I enjoyed this anime. I guess it was because of the nostalgia. I'm glad to see an episode about jiraiya

An awesome EP overall! I feel like the series is heading down a direction that I'm liking more and more. The whole ep was worth it for that end with the Sasuke and Boruto moment alone!
Ya boy is going to Con Alt Delete 2020! See you there!

Long time since I have ranked an ep. 4/5, but this one was good- Most people about this ep.: The only good part of the ep. was seeing Jiraiya in the OP and flashbacks of him in the ep. LOL 😂😂😂

Well I mostly agree on that. 04:28 (kissanime), no way Sasuke was/is a cooler shinobi than Jiraiya-sama. Only thing he beats him is strength, and that's only because of the Ōtsutsuki boost he got during the war. ^^ Jiraiya is cooler than him in any other ways.Funny to see that those two young pals are curious about Icha-icha tactics. Well, I don't blame them. It's indeed an interesting book. Funny to see all their reaction, especially Sasuke's reaction, but I really wanted Naruto himself to talk about Jiraiya. Damn, the studio they didn't give it an opportunity.

I am glad they dedicated an ep. to previous heroes like Jiraiya-sama. I hope we can see the Naruto characters talk about their masters/siblings. I would love an ep. where Sasuke talk about Itachi, or Naruto for that matter.

New opening is so much better than the other one. Maybe not in graphics, but with audio it's indeed much better. The ending is good, but the previous one was better.The Ōtsutsuki is back and we are back on the main track with the arc. Interesting how he is gonna drain dem bijuu's. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I wish we could always have episodes like these. Blah blah blah with that chakra stealing and tailed beast stuff.

Anyway, they could have just said it's lewd. Like dang, obviously they're going to be more and more interested as you keep keeping them away from it.;;

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

@ahrrhd153

You need to take two big things into account

  1. Events from just Third Shinobi World War happened relatively not so long ago. If my calculation are true 3th War happened about 30~40 years ago.
  2. They are still kids so they are not interested in past if it isn't affecting them. I highly doubt when you were 13 years old you had knowledge about General Patton and Churchill.


I knew about George Washington and the revolutionary war since elementary school.

Kids probably didn't pay attention when they learned about the Great War just like kids irl don't know much about the key people in WW2

Yeah but the ones who fought in that war were their parents so it is still weird that they don't know anything and the old generation told them nothing about the war. I mean, Boruto didn't even know that Naruto has Kurama inside of him before the chuunin exams.


I dunno, my grandpa survived WWII and he never liked talking about these time. I only know that he almost was signed as "cannon fodder" at age 13.

The episode was pretty funny. It was good to see Jiraiya again, I think his book are the perfect example to describe him xD

The way they are showing Sasuke and Naruto Master Jiraiyya was definitely stronger than both of them

nostalgic episode. seeing old pictures/characters was nice.

sarada and boruto earnestly trying to obtain Make Out Tactics was cute.

Why did nobody talk about the ancient relic?
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

I loved this ep so much! Sasuke's interpretation of Naruto and Jiraiya's relationship was amazing. I hope Boruto and Sasuke continue to bond. The ep as a whole was heartwarming.

I was really hoping Hinata would blow up at Naruto after finding his book collection. Feels like a missed opportunity

Really sad that no one knows/cares about the Utsy Gutsy Ninja, the book that Naruto was named after and basically matched the future of some of Naruto's events. (quick edit: they know nothing about history it seems either, honestly pretty sad and won't be surprised if more great ninja wars occur because education system is trash when comes to history)
Kakashi is forever the weirdest character to me, not only repeatedly reading erotic novels in front of kids to the point of memorizing their entire contents, but also trying to get parents to use the erotic novels tactics on their kids.

I'm really happy they are not using any Jiraya perversion or sexy jutsu here, there is a degree of comedy to it, but I prefer being without it. My foster son (15) was watching original Naruto with my other foster son (7) and I was just like "omg" and torn between making him stop, and letting it go. Shits so perverted!!!!!

The opening made me scared this was going to be an arc dedicated to flashbacks. Honestly, I vaguely remember a movie that I think Sakura and Naruto went to alternate dimension or something. I'm not sure if that was connected to Otsutsuki genjutsu, but I still think it's possible that Boruto could go to the past as their way of flashbacks and Boruto learning about Naruto and Sasuke. I got feeling that's what the artifact will do in combination with the fisherman playing arounds rinne-sharingan.

Hope I did this right:

I also knew about this stuff in elementary school, and was further taught in middle school, both of which is under 13.
I don't really understand the 1st point either, as recent history is still history, it's important to learn or far more likely to repeat.

i like how the series has humour mixed with serious plot little snippets. it's very funny to watch new characters discover the world and characters that we are so used to. very glad that hinata protected boruto from that awkward, to say the least, book.
ofc jiraiya was everything great but he treated women horribly (not even out of hate, i know). he was very awful and creepy. we can't deny that his actions were making women uncomfortable. no wonder why only men are familiar with his work (,except for sasuke who actually respected women his whole life).
