Ah Boruto and his friend just don't give up and still tries to do the right thing.

Kinda nice to see more of his cllasmates join the fight. Meanwhile, drama emerges in the village with the protests. Dang, this episode was kinda chaotic. Shikadai's personality feels really similiar to his father this episode, kinda the leader type.

It's been a while since I I've seen Naruto's Talk no Jutsu... Even though its not as good as his old lecture, it managed to calm everyone down in the village......
I like Furina, I love Furina.

This episode was great except the stupid noisy music at the start and the bad animations in some parts.
The speech of Naruto!...Oh God! What a speech! But the ending of the speech with such a face was cringy (you know, like he was lying all along). But I really clapped though.
The plot was great, and as a thriller episode, this episode gets 9/10 from me.
And Moegi...she looked like a complete asshole! Man, that was such a bad intro for Moegi

You're right. Most episodes of this arc were made by contracted studios, but the next one will be animated by Studio Pierrot himself, probably because of that the quality will be better.

The moment Naruto appeared, I knew we're gonna see his signature move, the almighty, the very powerful, legendary, Talk no fucking jutsu

And it's pretty obvious that the guy is the one who killed the boy's father

Why does the series make Naruto so fckn useless ?
I mean with kcm2 and sage of six paths mode he should be able to find the criminals in seconds this happens all the time Naruto either doesn't use his abilities or they are just weakened. I understand that it would be boring If Naruto solves everything in a second but then they need a better explanation for why he doesn't do it.

This is one anime that will be enjoyed a lot more by people who didn't watch anything related with Naruto.
90% of the episodes until now were horrible.
The only good parts were Sarada and Mitsuki's stories.

Yea you are right it would be a better story by itself without being related to Naruto its just hard to build up any tension with the father of the MC being pretty much invincible

It was just a diversion like Shogi and Shikadai figured it out!
Hokage Naruto did his just alright, but he doesn't need to be involved with that little of a threat, other mid-level shinobi and the kids can handle that!

They stored the ninjutsu data in a f*king scroll??? They have computers phones atleast use something like pendrive. Are they struggling with the tech again like they did in Naruto. Let's hope the techs won't just disappear after afew episodes.

So the cause of all that protesting was genjutsu. It was great to see Naruto calm everyone down. Now it's up to Boruto and Shikadai to stop those two.

Yay I'm happy I'm not the only person who thought this.

That aside, the episode overall was great.

We're finally getting close to the start of the manga!!!! :)

This episode was kinda dead... It didn't feel as though there was a climax; hopefully the push the animation quality if there is an intense fight scene -it seems as if there will be. Fingers crossed.

Shikadai doesn't seem to be as clever as his father, pity, but that means they're not trying to make shikadai a clone of shikamaru... Which I feel is better. But it's somewhat sad that there won't be that classic shikamaru/shikaku strategising that we used to see

P.S.
RIP Shikaku Nara 😭

Ah yes, the almighty Talk no Jutsu. It's been a while since we've seen Naruto do that.

So everyone was under the control of a genjutsu, but luckily it was broken. Next episode looks like it should be good, and I'm assuming things will wrap up then.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Magnus Opus definitely is something valuable! It’s worse than stealing that scroll that nature stole at the beginning of naruto !

3/5

Kind of a mediocre episode in my mind, although I'm intrigued to see where they're going with this "Magnum Opus", because it sounds like a storyline that was mentioned in the manga.

I also hate that they've turned Naruto into this plot device that they just throw into the mix whenever it seems convenient. He's a very complicated character with a huge backstory (duh) but in the anime they just treat him like a talking head that comes in every now and then to say a couple words.

So the enemies true plan is this justice huh. Though its nice to see the older members of the cast return here though like Kiba and Hanabi. Confronting civilians though is never easy. Good thing that Shikadai realised the enemies strategy though. So the demonstration was just the decoy. Their main target was the research lab. The contrast between the Shinobi confronting the civs and Boruto and gang confronting the gang though was nice. When combined with Naruto's address the enemies plan soon fell apart. The address though was excellent though. Such great words. Now to see how this ends next episode.

The show absolutely cratered in this arc. Jesus Christ is it bad. They really wanted to go for the sociopolitical commentary and fucked it up big times. The writing is uncomfortable all across, to the point that even the character interactions seem awkward as hell.

So far I was pretty okay with Boruto. They got a good balance between the old guard and the kids. Seeing the Naruto cast live out their happy everafter was awesome. The kids were mostly bearable at least. But this arc is only the worst, and then some.

I think the worst thing about this is that they're just spinning their wheels until they eventually adapt the movie. Then there's going to be years of storytelling to finally do something until we finally reach the prologue's future.

And to be honest I'm not thrilled about that first part, the aliens sent Naruto from an all-time high to the worst lows I've ever seen...now I know everything behind the scenes will eventually come full circle to bring the rest of the family back while Boruto just floats from story to story with zero character progression....because that was literally when he finally had his epiphany. It makes a lot of this feel pointless despite some genuine gems buried inside this lump of dirt.

That's what frustrates me so much about Boruto. They're ripping off so many Naruto storylines but without the payoff that progresses him like with Naruto part 1 across every arc. The side characters feel more important than the MC who's shoved front and center since they clearly have a lot more freedom to fool around with the rest of the cast than the MC.

it’s kind of amazing how little they managed put into a 20 minute episode. if i weren’t invested in ryogi’s character trope then this arc would’ve been insufferable for me.

i’m looking forward to the reveal though and hoping that he gets a happy ending (if we can forgive the mist kid and sumire i would hope we can forgive him too).

I was thinking the same thing, I was hoping she would say something though.

Anyway this episode was alright, below average though. It was nice to see Kiba for once, and I wonder if he got married too.

Next episode seems interesting, I wish they finish the arc soon and show a new OP theme.

I think everyone is so eager for intense, shippuden style battle scenes that they forget that, the first couple arcs for Naruto were just like this. Really basic "problems" going on that the higher ups (hokage and co) could easily solve in seconds, but don't because 1) they have other, bigger fish to fry that we don't know about yet, and 2) because if they did everything, the kids wouldn't have anything to do, killing the show in the process. We gotta get through watching each main characters story before going into the real stuff, that's how shounen's work lol.

Anyway, loved seeing Naruto's talk no jutsu again, it's his most powerful one, obviously.
HANABI! I really love her haha. Also nice to see the kids discover where the base was through shogi, and realize the protesters were using genjutsu. Once again, the adults have become so used to living in peace, they begin to not notice things that are right in front of their eyes lol

Just here to say that even if if I kind like the show maybe more because it means that Naruto isn’t completely over but still I like it, I found that all the new technology stuff distorts the Naruto universe and that I don’t like that.
And also that I want to see more of Hinata !!!

^, and how’d Boruto and Shikudai catch up to the train there? Ryogi and the gang leader barely made it to the final carriage and yet Boruto and Shikudai, whilst running, was actually a little ahead before deciding to go on board too. Moreover, how’d Chubs and Inojin take down those members so easily? Surely you’d expect them to be Chunin level at the very least.

Anyway, we got another one of Naruto’s ‘talk no jutsu’ and good thing the public quickly settled down, thanks to it. Shikamaru got the spotlight for this episode too, cool stuff!

Next episode seems like to be the finale, looking forward to seeing the gang leader exposed(I think it’s very obvious that he’s got hidden agendas) and hopefully Ryoji will get a happy ending too!

Even though Naruto does have the capabilities, he still has certain responsibilities that he needs to fulfill as Hokage. It's not like the old days where he could just roam around doing whatever he wants. Plus, calming down a bunch of protesters is a jobs more suited for the ninja below. Unless the village was getting destroyed, there would be no need for him to handle small matters such as capturing bandits.
