| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Seems that whatever strange powers their teacher acquired, it made him more powerful. I like Shikadai's role in this show. This episode goes to show up the potential of his abilities although him and Boruto still got trapped by their possessed teacher. That Mutsuki guy continues to demonstrate snake-like abilities (not surprising since he's from Hidden Sound village). |
 |
| Nice ep. Shino going for the kill. Nice teamwork between the three. Mitsuki showing off more of his skills. Naruto now aware of the situation. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Nice episode. So let me get this straight, unlike the others who were possessed before, Shino becoming possessed actually limited his ability to use his full power? Cause Naruto and Shikamaru both state that if Shino was going all out and in full control he would've wrecked Boruto and co. To be honest, I couldn't accept how a Jounin like Shino could be outsmarted by a couple of kids even if they're pretty good. At his level he should've taken them down in seconds. The whole thing felt pretty contrived to me but this explanation at the end is good enough reason as to why the kids were able to take down Shino. The teamwork was pretty cool and Mitsuki's abilities are great, I hope we see more of his abilities. The drowning scene was a little on the melodramatic side but okay. XD |
 |
| Cool fight but can't Boruto even save Mitsuki from drowning? |
 |
| Probably the best episode so far imo, this and the first one. Lots of nice animation sequences. Also cool to see some of Mitsuki's other justu. |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
| Looking at the next episode preview, it seems like they're going to really stretch this dark chakra thing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| AHHHH WHY ISN'T Crunchyroll working :(... did any one else have a problem on crunchyroll. I'll post my thoughts once I watch the episode (if it works) ***UPDATE*** So I watched it on VRV and at the end are they saying the Shino was holding back during that time because if he wasn't.... when did he get so average? Did he stop progressing as a ninja in Shippuden, because he was like really strong! Does anyone else think Mitsuku is a little to OP right now... like he's still a child why is he so strong! I hope the next episode works on crunchyroll because I'm excited for it! |

| So bye bye Inojin-chan. It's so sad you're not the "main" character with Shikadai anymore. :') OMG I'm glad Shino helped them at the end. The next ep will be about ChoCho, can't wait. ;; |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| btw... Mitsuki reminds me about Sai. Is anyone with me? |
"Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Anko was one of the hottest char in naruto.. Wtf did they do to her xD PS Thinking about how amazing fights were in naruto, boruto is far more disappointing imo. I hope they can make it better somehow in future episodes but for now, this series is a total shame. |

| boruto so far, so cheesy geez i loved naruto but whats going on so far seems a bit too cliche |
 |
SenpieX said: Anko was one of the hottest char in naruto.. Wtf did they do to her xD that is so true. im crying inside |
|
| Best episode yet, reminded me more at the earlier times of Naruto, where they put more focus on tactic. It's also good that the pace is slowly rising. As much as I appreciate the character build up so far, I really hope that we will enter a major arc soon. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It pains my soul to see that Anko turned into a pig lol....Also, Mitsuki the GAWD |
| Hmm, Shino-sensei really must have been through a lot, he's like one of the most unimportant characters from the original Naruto-series children. Happy to see that everything is alright with him, but also took the children way too long to realize how their behavior is really rude towards elders sometimes. |
Chicken is love, chicken is life ~ ♥ |
| Probably the 2nd best episode so far, alot more like Naruto where they focused more on tactics than Taijutsu. The problem with Boruto Next G so far is that the kids are to strong. Naruto and co could only perform substitue jutsus at the end of their academy years but these kids know full fledged typing jutsus with a huge variety. Kudos to perriot for making Naruto tell us all that Shino would have wooped Boruto and co's asses if he was serious. |
 |
| I wanna see more of Inojin and Sarada, but yeah this episode was pretty cool. I liked the Shino summoning, haven't seen him summon anything in forever, and seeing Aburame stuff in general is nice. I did get the impression he wasn't doing his best though, he was just using the insects randomly, recklessly and not even using jutsus like the summoning he did when he gained his consciousness back. The interaction between the 3 at the end was nice. |
 |
| Boruto is such a knock off he annoys me to hell. Boriginality. |
| Okay that episode was quite nice, the fighting sequences looked a bit weird when it comes to choreography and animation but not too bad. I'm glad that they mentioned that Shino could have easily beaten them if he were his self. FireFistYamaan said: The problem with Boruto Next G so far is that the kids are to strong. Naruto and co could only perform substitue jutsus at the end of their academy years but these kids know full fledged typing jutsus with a huge variety. I feel the way, they always emphasize that this world is peaceful and fighting skills are not that important, yet all those (not all of them) kids who just entered the academy pull off all those jutsus and taijutsu abilities. It's not too bad, but how strong will they be after the academy? Will they still be on their current level, that would mean no actual development, or will they be even stronger, which would make some of them crazy strong for a genin... |

Her metabolism is probably just weaker now, hence why she became fat |
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met.  |
| Age hit kurenai like a truck and fat anko :( Shino not being himself made him weaker and predictable so they manage to stop him. |
 |
| This ghost thing can really make the user very strong. Shino was no exception. All the three could do was run. But they came up with a good plan. They did good. Shino got to save Boruto and Mitsuki from drowning. It pains me to see Anko how she is now. |
 |
| All those dangos must have gotten to her. |

I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met. |
| i'm just waiting for boruto to say "you can't do that!" to our anti-hero mitsuki (potentially orochimaru) terminator shino XD, i wonder if he actually has some power, or maybe limiter in his eye or just for the LULs mitsuki hot hot foreshadowing to naruto getting possessed ROFL |
  |
| Damn, it's crazy to think how this could have turned out if Shino was actually himself and not possessed. I'm glad they threw that line in though, Shino to me has been a pretty underrated and underused character that didn't get much spotlight in the original series, so I'm glad they, at the very least, acknowledged just how strong he really is, even if we didn't get to actually see his strength. It was also nice to see the teamwork between Boruto, Shikadai, and Mitsuki. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

He relies on strategy and thinking, while this "ghost" made him lose his mind. Basically, Shino is different type of fighter, he's like Shikamaru, Sai, Ino, etc. so this ghost actually made him weaker than he is supposed to be because he lost his intelligence and ability to plan/think properly. His techniques require thinking. |

aemerr said: Good ep , but it seems like Shikadai Nara is so weak ,don't u think so , he didn't use much chakra he was not able to help someone from drowning , wasn't that weird ?! No, I think it's completely natural that Shikadai was not of much use here, as Shino's jutsu is a natural enemy of Shikadai's jutsu. As far as swimming goes, he WAS exhausted of his chakra, and also is physically below-average like all the Naras. bailin10 said: What I'm really surprised is how they portray Shino vs how he was in both Narutos. He's changed 180° I wouldn't say that Shino changed at all. He always tried to leave an impression of a cool guy, while in reality being a bit insecure. It's just that now it's more prominent now due to being both stressed and because his old behavior isn't as fitting for times of peace. I think he is one of those guys who is happiest on the battlefield or on the missions. |
 |
| most action shino has seen since forever he even busted out a summoning technique which i don't remember him ever using it lol |
  "When the time is yours, the future is waiting, The person you become, and the people you're creating." |
| Lol Shino op and dam that PV with a potential new waifu. |
| Great episode and that team work with Boruto Shikadai and mikisuki. Teared up with Shino sensei bond. Omg anko!!! Kuranai sensei! !! Wonder if we'll see her child in this series? |
| Pretty good episode, lots of fighting which we've all been waiting for. I'm surprised Shino didn't realize Mitsuki using the same arm extending jutsu that Orochimaru uses as well. Ending was nice as well with Naruto and Shikamaru not blaming Shino. Also that bug summon jutsu was really nice, I don't remember we ever saw that in original Naruto. |
 |
| I'm sorry. Every time I see someone mourning over the death of Anko's sexy bod I can't help but laugh. Now on topic, I actually did like this episode, but I am disappointed that this dark chakra thing is going to be drawn out further. |
| I liked this episode because it brings that feeling from the time Naruto was a kid and he and the gang learning new life lessons... krazykillerkurt said: This...BlackstarFallen said: This ghost thing can really make the user very strong.

 |
| I can not think that Shikadai and Boruto are a copy of their fathers, they're just exactly the same. Shino didn't give a beat down to those three and they're still giving like clues in every episode, but it all fell like useless. I think that I'm not liking this show. |
 |
| This show is such a money grab. Will likely be dropping. |
| again WTF did they do to Anko-sensei! Why just why! This was an alright episode and the action with Shino was meh at best plus we didn't really learn anything new about this nefarious plot involving the purple shadowy thing so that sucks! Mitsuki is for sure involved in some way or knows something that he's not speaking up about! |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| Here the mistery is this boy to the Sound Village, the genral plot, that is a continuation of the episode 5, was boring just, because if Shino fight seriously the three boys kids in 30 sec.!!! i remenber you that Shino was of the strongerst shinobis to Konoha!!!! and his bugs can kill and discover any enemy!!!! Boruto every episode seems more his father Naruto. Shikadai is the same to Boruto. Where is the originality? Where is the singular personality of the characters? |
| It was a nice episode, and they finally start some sort of investigation. Though the preview seems such a let down for me. I understand they can do whatever they want with their series, it doesn't have a clear path, but I'd like the story to advance faster. The next episode seems way too random for me. |

| [quote=Z4k message=50689942 How is Shikadai the same as Boruto?[/quote] He is not the same to Boruto, sorry if i explained wrong, he is the same to his father, Shikamaru, inteligent and tactic boy, the same personality the parent, with nothing to emphasize individually in his personality!!! |
| I'm liking the episodes and all, but we are on episode 6 and nothing too different happened besides that shadow thing, when the plot will advance? |
  |
Ranxomare said: He is not the same to Boruto, sorry if i explained wrong, he is the same to his father, Shikamaru, inteligent and tactic boy, the same personality the parent, with nothing to emphasize individually in his personality!!! That's not true though. Shikadai is nowhere as apathetic or lazy as Shikamaru and actually has shown more enthusiasm than his father with the tests in the ninja academy. Sure he resembles his father and has some of his mannerisms like using his father's phrase but that's where the similarity ends. |
| Animation quality is back to being pretty good. Nice variety of jutsu used this episode. |
