The animations in this ep are shit... Did they change who was drawing/animating the show??? It looked like 3 different levels of quality/art styles between the first half of the episode, the Boruto Movie flashback and the second half of the episode. I guess they have their hands full with BC which I'm totally fine with considering I love BC but still. The OP is gas tho

Am I the only person who didn’t like the episode? Besides the actual story progression and showing Kara actually do shit, the animations seemed really poor. I was expecting the Naruto v Boruto fight to be more hyped (mixing lightning and water style was hype) but I suppose I expected to see Boruto use his NEW rasengan, the one that’s been hyped up. I hope this is just a rocky start to the new arc but yeah OP fire as hell

Boruto flexing his growing ninjutsu skills and usage of the elements. Really liked the ending song, was kinda chill. I worry about Konohamaru and the former child assassin dude, yet to remember his name but hes cool too. As looks like they about to face a serious dealer of death!

Not sure if you have actually been watching the show, but he has used it twice, and the 2nd time he used it there was a possibility he would lose at minimum his arm potentially his life. So you talking like you are suggests you just be here trolling and not actually watching the show at all.

The animators change every single episode. In fact even the studio working on an ep changes
Studio pierrot makes only some important eps and supervises the rest while letting other little studios animate them like studio Mouse, Jiwoo, 4tune, Hotline, maru animation, hanil animation...etc
That's why you'll notice a change in the animation quality and sometimes even a change in animation style

I didn't think that the animation in this ep was bad though except one or two scene in the boruto vs naruto fight. The rest was pretty good

Yeah not trolling but he did get TWO new rasengans recently. So yeah, i do watch the show..calm down LOL it’s not that deep. Anyways tho, the compressed rasengan is the one you’re talking about and as much as i would’ve wanted to see that, i figured they wouldn’t because of what you said with his possible injuries. I suppose i meant to say that i wish boruto would’ve used his wind style rasengan, you know, the green saturn looking one instead of his regular vanishing lightning style rasengan. I just see that his wind style one is basically an upgrade in this situation because 1. he can throw it the same way, 2. it’s more powerful as shown in the last training arc, and 3. he didn’t even utilize the vanishing ability of the rasengan (from what i remember). To me, it feels like they just trashed his wind style rasengan and acted as if his training was solely to progress to the compressed rasengan. I also understand it’s not complete yet and i hope they continue showing his progression with it, but it like i said before, still stronger than his regular lightening style rasengan. Correct me if i’m wrong though, always open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and to learn/understand more.

First of all, Naruto having his son and half the village come watch his glow-up with the new prosthetic arm is honestly such a mood lol XD it was good to see them spar out there. Also, Shikamaru is way too in sync with his son.

Other than that, new OP and ED sound good, I'm glad Victor finally got done in (and bonus, we even got to see Deepa die Again, yay). New knock-off amaterasu guy seems pretty cool. What else? Still getting death flag vibes from Team Konohamaru. All in all, a pretty solid episode to ring in the new year!

P.S. the preview for the next episode

Oooh ok thanks for clarifying that. These past 20-25 Boruto eps have been the best the show has been in 3 years. It was a little distracting but hopefully they can try to keep the quality/art style more consistent in the future. Like even if that is how it's been, this ep has been the most jarring/noticeable differences so far.

Wow Victor just die like that..lmao...
Also Deepa got fixed by Amado just to extract information and then got rid off...

I'm really like the Kara OST...they made a good job on the music...

Anyone got info about Kashin Koji VA???

Naruto Vs Boruto is alright(The fight Animation is kinda meh), did Boruto ever used Suiton before?? My reaction same as Sarada, I don't think i saw Boruto used it before... Correct me if im wrong.

Oh boy Konohamaru & Mujino, you have no idea what you got into...


Next episode Kashin Koji meeting up with Ao... Hyped 🔥

Loved the new OP & ED. Super hyped for Kawaki to meet team 7! Victor & Deepa are officially gone during this one episode! I liked the Naruto and Boruto fight. Naruto used earth style while Boruto combined water style with lightning style. During the match, Naruto used the new prosthetic arm!

My rate: 7/10
New OP rate: 9/10
New ED rate: 9/10

Nice Opening and Ending!!!

It was really pleasant to watch Victor die XDXD!!!

Naruto vs Boruto was interesting. Boruto learned water type and even combined it with lightning ...Nice!!

That ending though...I guess we're gonna get a big fight next week

Yeah, the canon story is real. Everyone already showed themself, including Code and Boro that were not fully introduced previously. Kashin Koji and Amado were slick as hell. Victor was just too naive. Amado retrieved Deepa head only to destroyed it later. Lmao. Poor him, together with Victor whose just be in a good death flag, previously. Kashin Koji received the mission from Jigen-sama. The investigation mission surely in danger.

Meanwhile, the sparring within father and his son ended with a lot of question. Naruto used the chance to test his new robotic arm. Lmao. Poor, Boruto. But its a good time to introduced how well Boruto used another different style of jutsu. And, for Naruto, well, i hope that robotic arm is helpful enough for him in the later scene ....

Okay, next episode!

wow , someone learned to make a great opening song for the Boruto?? I just can't believe it! And they had to ask the Ikimonogakari to do something, because the staff also couldn't deal with this problem. Anyway, I'm happy for it. ^^ This opening's gonna be a legend within years.

It appears Boruto and the likely vessel will in fact be a dynamic duo like Sasugay x Naruto, wonder how their diamond mark and jougan and stuff compare to rinne-sharingan, yin-yang/sun-moon chakra, and stuff.

I got a really bad feeling for Konohamaru and Mugino, Sasuke should be there!!! Maybe even Naruto due to close proximity.

So V victor is dead by whats his face assassin, VII Deepo is dead as had no use for him anymore, IV Jigen killed even though apparently only one that made him laugh. Code appears to be VI and I assume that III guy is Boro. This vessel seems to be very important, for unknown reasons, but will turn on them. Very interesting.
