Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 59 Discussion

stop being ignorant , naruto had nothing at the beginning. He worked his way from the bottom. He did not get those powers til the end of the series. You clearly havent watched Naruto. Boruto most definitely cheated, everyone else relies on their powers while he relies on ninja tools smh. and to make it worse he lied to his supposed friend Shikidai. He wanted to have a fair fight, that was not Boruto’s power

I don't get why everyone is so mad at Boruto for "cheating", it just makes zero sense.

First Naruto didn't warn anyone that the "cheating" tool will not be allowed during the exams, he declined the offer of the Scientist guy in private, in the Hokage office, and the only other person present at the time was Shikamaru, but he never made any public announcement about it.

So the genins have not been warned that they shouldn't use this tool, and even if we assume it happened off-screen how did that go exactly ?
"Oh yeah guys just FYI the use of top secret scientific ninja magic device prototype from Konoha hidden secret lab during the exam is strictly forbidden" ???
Yeah no I can't picture that.

Ninjas use devices and weapons of all sorts all the time, puppets, scrolls, bombs, magic sand that act on its own, magic swords, etc, so there is no reason to think this specific device is off limits.

I understand that Boruto got in trouble for cheating in the movie but it's stupid.
Maybe they realised that and changed the events slightly.¯_(ツ)_/¯

Also I must say Boruto is pretty clever with his use of his tool, I don't think his victories are undeserved. Especially with his clever use of a single clone as pointed out by the scientist at the end of the episode.

I don't think Boruto will ever get caught. In the movie, Naruto was beside Hinata when he noticed Boruto's 'trickery' and she checked his arm with her byakugan. But Naruto is way up the bleachers with the other kages in this episode. Plus his match with Shikadai is over and we dont know who he'll face next. Unless Naruto comes down to where Hinata and Himawari are watching.

Boruto knows that it's cheating himself. That's why he feels so bad about using it. If he just thought of it as just any normal ninja tool then he wouldn't get so upset about it.

it gives him a power he does not have on his own. Which is unfair to all the others who are working hard to come up with new skills and such.

For people who are not born powerful WORK to gain it. Take lee for example he worked day in and out. He was not given any advantage he worked for it. This tool just gives you a power you did not earn yourself. I can see this tool being useful for like towns people who can't protect themselves, but for an exam it's 100% understandable why it's not allowed.

I believe he will still get caught, without a doubt. The only reason he didn't get caught right now was because he only used the tool for 1 shadow clone and Boruto having 1 shadow clone hiding somewhere is believable. Now if he had hundreds of them when its common knowledge to anyone that knows Boruto that he can create about 4 with the amount of chakra he has then people would start looking for signs of change or out right cheating.

Then we have the real reason that he didn't get caught... the real life Boruto team wanted to extend the chunin exams further than the movie.

Nzpt said:
It might feel unfair to him but that doesn't make it cheating. Cheating just means not respecting the rules, that's not the case here.
You might think it doesn't matter if it is actually cheating or not but it's doesn't say the same thing about the character, especially if fighting against a friend.

As the mizukage pointed out to the punks who stole the seven swords, a powerful weapon is as powerful as it's wielder, if you lack training your shiny sword won't make a difference in battle.

Following that reasoning I can only think of Boruto as a powerful ninja wielding a powerful weapon.

Mimiko_ said:
But boruto isn't respecting the rules that is the case here.

I agree with the tool only being as strong as it's user and i think it's a good tool, but it is cheating since naurto banned it from the exam. And it's understandable why

Nzpt said:


When did Naruto inform Boruto (or any genin) that the tool isn't allowed ? Afaik he didn't.

He did in the manga but it didn't went the same way in the anime. The feeling is very different imho.

Daniel_Naumov said:

I do not know just how inexperienced you have to be in art to even consider the possibility of Boruto not getting caught. Like,... really? After 59 episodes of Boruto alone?
Okay, forget being experienced. Common sense. The whole cheating thing is set up by an Ootsutsuki member who is obviously trying to seed discord between his enemies. The whole point for Boruto using the tool IS to get caught. Scientist wants the tool to be successful, so announcing it through Boruto is one way of sending a message. If we consider he is not outright controlled by that guy. He had ripped Gaara's heart with spectral rile, what if he then can control the person? The same might have happened to the scientist. A myriad of possibilities. Not in a single one Boruto leaves the water dry.

L0bsterman said:

I'm confused. Are you trying to argue, debate or sort of agreeing with me while sharing theories? I already know how it's all going to play out. I even know who is manipulating the scientist so to avoid spoilers I won't speak of this subject any further.

Well to be honest im not that impressed with naruto and shikadai match. I mean its not that action packed fight and by the way Boruto nearlly defeated again. That Ninja machine (tool) saves his day again. 😔😔😔

Cho cho vs Black garra was so lame but at least that annyoing girl lost I really cant stand her.
Also I was really looking forward to boruto the cheating bastard getting exposed but I guess they had to strech this out.
Let's hope Mitsuki goes all out next episode.
