Yikes, when Kawaki gets serious and angry, he can be quite scary.

It was tough for him to experience a loss this episode too. The cruel reality of the shinobi world...

Poor Mozuku... He sacrificed himself for Kawaki's sake. Kawaki is experiencing the shinobi world for the first time and he's so much to learn. I felt bad for Kawaki as well. Shikadai is still the best boy. Love how mature he is for his age. Kawaki passed the test.

I can see that they're trying to give Kawaki more screentime and his character some well-deserved development. Hoping to see the manga canon episodes back soon.

This ep was really good. Kawaki got some good character development here. He's starting to respect the ways of shinobi and the dangers that come with it. The emotions he showed were really great. Didn't expect he would be this down and sad when mozuku died. I really loved when shikadai took him to his grandfather's grave and talked with him. Kinda reminded me of when Shikamaru helped Naruto and took him to the hospital to see Kurenai like that type of vibe.

Rip. Never expected that two-episode only kid died like that. But, as always, he served the purposes pretty well enough to see closely how Kawaki character develop, even on those limited time. Same with Shikadai that unexpectedly return his wise mode, as a son of Nara Shikamaru. As funny as Chocho comment about Kawaki, seeing him changing up his character by that situation, i can't help but its tickle me for a bit. Congrats for the genin status, though, and its a must to be more stronger, like him, Kawaki. Good luck!

Mozuki's death was an important experience for Kawaki. He realizes the responsibility you have on a mission here.

The filler character died to provide some development for Kawaki as he officially becomes a shinobi. He learned the hard and tragic way that being a shinobi is serious business. I enjoyed his interactions with Shikadai this episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Good thing Boruto and Sarada showed up.
They we're able to complete the mission but the price seemed to be too steep for Kawaki.
It's good that he is starting to understand what it means and what it takes to be a ninja. Naruto's going to be doing missions with Kawaii?! Didn't expect that. It's going to be shadow clone, right?

Kawaki and Mozuku continue on with the mission and they run into Kurobane very quickly.

Kurobane uses Ninja Art: Infinite Sea Watchtower which creates a bunch of illusions of himself using the water vapor. The jutsu takes water from the ground, grass, trees, and even the bodies of the victims themselves. Luckily Kawaki was able to get on higher ground and find the real Kurobane and take him down.

However, Kurobane attacked with his blade and Mozuku jumped in the way to prevent Kawaki from being damaged. Mozuku unfortunately passed away, and Kawaki was able to deliver the medicine to Mozuku's sensei.

The fact that Kawaki couldn't protect Mozuku really affected Kawaki and he blames himself. Shikadai takes him to the grave of his grandfather, Shikaku Nara and talks about how teammates share their pain.

Shikadai put in a good word for Kawaki and he's now a Genin and will be accompanying Naruto on missions. Kawaki intends on getting stronger so that what happened to Mozuku won't happen again.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

after the slow as hell manga gets another 20+ chapters? otherwise if they only adapt manga chapters, anime would catch up with it pretty fast and then it's back to fillers anyway lol

Yeah I know but It was soooo damn good between like 196 or something to 220 so it bums me out to watch stuff that basically doesn't matter, especially compared to what awesome stuff we had.

Besides practical experience, Kawaki needs to be educated. He seems the type to come to that realization himself. He at least should learn about genjutsu. And why would the Hokage go on missions with a genin? I'm not liking that. I feel like we're seeing the beginnings of the patn that leads to his betrayal.

Well, this was actually a good episode, as we get to see kawaki fight with him unveiling another truth of the shinobi world making him one step closer to actually being one...

decent filler episode though a death in filler episodes is rare but this means character development for kawaki and why did naruto say that he will go on missions with kawaki, are we probably gonna see naruto in action sometime soon

That was a really good episode for Kawaki character development...

Sad that kid Mozuku must die, but his will would carry on through Kawaki.

i hope Kawaki learns from his stubborn attitude...if not being the road to shinobi then he has to be stronger in order to protect someone...but as everyone said this is character development for him!

Took me weeks to finally watch this episode. Anyway, Kawaki is still stubborn as hell but he managed to learn from his mistakes and seems like he reflected upon himself already. Anyway, a new opening by FLOW today. I'm excited.

I remember reading somewhere it could take at least until late 2022 or early 2023 :/

Kinda crazy how we've only had 60 manga canon episodes in 230+
Not that some of the anime canon episodes or filler were bad but I'd like to see the story progress and learn more about it.
I dont need to learn life lessons from every single side character.

Haha right?? Yeah some Filler stuff was great like the Time Travel Arc was great, but I really don't care about the cat girl and her family or a bunch of others. Although I do like the Samurai girl, but I'd rather see her like fighting with them not backstory. And with the Code stuff and 80% for Boruto and Kawaki I need to see that stuff. Oh and Kojin Kashi! I'm dying to see that.
