Oh boy, with the Chunin Exams approaching, so does trouble...I actually feel bad for Boruto since his father couldn't show up for his birthday (although understandable in a way too)

Episode got serous fast and honestly, it felt like the mood was needed as a way to build up for more. What a cliffhanger...

Glad there was a few glimpses at Boruto growing as a character in this episode. Hopefully they get the show ramping up with this story moving forward.

Naruto has to stop missing stuff like birthdays if he wants his family to love him.
Finally, something interesting appeared, Zetsu!

We're slowly getting closer to the Chunin exam. All the modern tech is a joke. Naruto could easily use shadow clones

OMG! WHAT A FUCKING EPISODE!!!!! The best episode of the series so far! So multi-dimensional! Excellent intro, emotional scenes, action, mystery...ending with an awesome preview of episode 52!
White Zetsu! Naruto vibes are back! After almost 2 years! Man, this episode was crazy! Call me a fanboy, but you can't hate this episode!

I have to admit, I was not expecting the white Zetsus appearing again, but I loved it.
Great episode. Finally building the personality of Boruto and giving him reasons to follow that path we saw in the movie.

Also I mean I get it that there needs to be some kind of conflict but given that Naruto was able to clone hi self hundreds of times and each one of these clones was able to beat the third Raikage back in the war arc there is really no real reason why he shouldn't be able to spent time with his family

I actually kinda liked that episode even tho most of its plot were caused by Naruto not being able to care for his family witch is total bs well I can just hope that the rest of the series stays that way after the chunin exams

I thought the entire episode was going to focus on Boruto's birthday, so I'm happy to see I was wrong. It sucks that Naruto wasn't there for it, hopefully he won't miss Himawari's


I'm glad to see something interesting finally happen, with this beefed up White Zetsu showing up. Now that we've entered the movie adaptation, I'm hoping to see some consistently decent episodes. For the time being, we'll hopefully avoid waste of time episodes like the one with Denki's team making the documentary thing.

Well then you'll be in for a real treat if the anime ever adapts the current manga material.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

So i dropped this anime two weeks ago after just having had enough of the awful anime as a whole and the recent pointless fillers, checked the comments and opinions of this episode and due to them being much more positive than normal, checked the episode out and was pleasantly surprised. Absolutely solid episode thank the heavens i can jump back onto this series. Narutos regression as a character is frustrating but i still enjoyed the episode. He cant follow his ninja way and keep his word, he says the whole village is his family but completely neglects his blood family, he clearly cant trust others with any duties so takes them all on himself like who is this guy, they are trashing his character so hard

Naruto need a structural building like the White House where he can work and his family can stay there as well. He could most definitely spare 10 minutes of his time? He needs to eat too most likely

Naruto could easily do all that paper work if he could just use his clones, so that way he will have more time for his family. I never thought we will see White Zetsu again. This one is very different.

Yo dawg forget the ninja exams or something, Plan 9 from outer space is already here. I really wish we did not have to go through the "training chuunin exams etc" (even though I did not initially either way, started viewing Naruto since Shippuuden episode 213 or something). I know it is justified in both the storytelling and world progression, but we already know that some guy and other insane space whitemen will level the Konoha. Wish it would go faster...

The start of this episode was a bit of a tease to me, I thought they'd finally got to the chunin exams arc. God dammit!

Sh** got real this episode though, we got to see how broken Naruto and Boruto's relationship is; can't help but feel sorry for him. But then it took a turn for the worst and we had an appearance from white zetsu... Having palpitations here, help me.cant wait for next week.

Now it's time for BTS Burn The Stage, yes kpop fans, first episodes been released

Fantastic episode. Probably my favorite from the series so far.

This episode established the foundations for the Movie Arc very nicely. You feel for Boruto, and I love how even if he's hurting, he prioritizes Himawari's happiness over his. This episode did a great job expanding on his relationship with Naruto.

That White Zetsu reveal though! What a surprise. Great to already see them adding/changing to the movie. Expect more surprises to come. Can't wait for next week.

Also, next week we'll be getting new OP & EDs. Should be fun!

I'm not going to watch boruto until it's finished and i've researched and read through peoples opinions on if it's worth watching because all i've heard so far is that boruto is a really unlikeable main and there isn't much originality for the series and they just hit the reset button and place boruto where naruto's age started the first season

Wow its actually really White Zetsu, been quite a while since we saw him, I didn't even know he's still alive, same with the Black one. And this one is some mutated version lol.

Looking forward to see how will they deal with him, preview for next one was def nice, seems like Sasuke might be back too.

Boruto is simply trying to live up to the cool kid image his father was, being all offensive on the outside, but actually understanding and supportive of his father's work on the inside. I would not call it dysfunctional, it is simply not a direct "I love you daddy even though you are away from me but I understand that you are a cool hero for everyone protecting the peace but please don't do that to my sister because she is little and would rather see you close to her in important moments".
Roy_Focker said:

That is indeed an interesting scene. I guess Konohomaru throws a remark at Mitsuki that he knows just what he is and who his father is and that he is not going to simply trust him on the go (even though Mitsuki is a prime example of an Ally of Justice (with Hero of Justice being Boruto)). Either way Mitsuki is the one reprimanded and it does feel like it hits him.

Actually i think he is a good main character, the issue with boruto has been plot armor, lack of maturity, etc.

To be honest i do not really know why i enjoyed this episode & boruto in general, i just continue to watch it & enjoy it for some reason.

Finally they are moving forward with the story by meeting Zetsu and introducing Kaguya's ruins and stuff.

ah well i'm sure that i will probably enjoy boruto when i come to watching it as i loved naruto + shippuden so i'll just probably just leave it a while until it's all released

This zetsu must be one of a few people, who actually turned into zetsu when Madara casted the infinite tsukuyomi 10 years ago.

Probably not, because the mine was a Ootsutsuki facility/base in the past. Meaning they could have been there ever before the 4th war broke out. They got awakened or broke out somehow, or something.

5/5

I actually really liked this episode! That one scene where Naruto throws on his cloak like his old man used to do is enough to make me rate this 5/5. Just 100% pure, unadulterated badassery.

I kept thinking it was Kinshiki and Momoshiki in the cave but it wouldn't really make much sense for them to be hanging out in a cave.

I'm really hope Sasuke appears next episode like it seems they're implying. We've already seen bits and pieces of the Boruto movie with this adaption, I was wondering if they were going to change how he is introduced in the tv series for this arc, especially considering what role he ends up playing.
