Hmm, a somewahat intense episode.

Seeing Boruto and Sarada team up on their mission is kinda entertaining to watch. On the other hand, the enemies they encountered are really a pain in the ass. Shikadai and his squad also run into a bit of problem against their own enemies. Mutsuki..the hell is he doing?

What Mitsuki did at the end was pretty much expected.

Action was whatever this episode, at this point I'd really like for this arc to wrap up soon. It doesn't look like that's going to be the case, but one can hope. Maybe it'll be over by the end of the year.
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.

I'm sure Mitsuki just saved them with that act.

In the preview Mitsuki kinda says he has no idea if his feelings were his own, or it was created by Orochimaru, or something.
Still, I'm not sure if they could beat those two if Mitsuki helped Boruto. This arc is a serious one, but doesn't seem that impressive and interesting.

Everything is just... too similar to what happened with Sasuke. I just hope Mitsuki doesn't end up doing the same mistake. It pained me sometimes because the director is definitely trying too hard to make Boruto likeable they ended up just creating another Naruto 2.0

But still... I can't stop myself from watching it. I live for the nostalgic feelings Boruto gave me, everytime he sounded too much like his father, or when Sarada just looked a lot like Sasuke but in female version. I love Naruto, so I had a hard time letting the series go when it ended as I have grown up with it. But I don't want Boruto to be Naruto 2.0, if they want to create a continuation they better continue Naruto or made a whole new different series with different characterization, different story line, different character design, and not... definitely not like this.

(But what to do, I still love the new team 7, and I know it's useless to rant like this, but one still can dream.)

Basically the whole thing with Sasuke just in boring. Sadly, that's pretty much the best arc in this show so far. (apart from the parts from the movie which I would not count as a real arc of the anime)

its not much i'd mind filler, its just that the fillers in Boruto are just soulless condensed boring rehash of Naruto arcs...and the filler character designs are just so bland and generic, something Naruto fillers are guilty of too, which makes it much more harder to watch

doesnt help that half the Boruto anime is all filler

Kokuyou: "I have superhuman powers"
No frickin sh*t Sherlock
Bish, "strong people..." They're a bloody trio of genin, what about that Jonin squad you literally dealt with a few minutes earlier; I mean, is three against one gonna make that much of a difference when kokuyou's handling an 8 vs 2 handicap with ease.
But hey, is it just me or does this bear an uncanny resemblance to the retrieve sasuke mission where they constantly had to split... I mean, the similarities were there when this arc started and Mitsuki left but now. I thought they had gotten past the naruto imitation arcs. Shaking my head.
But I've taken a liking to Sekiei though, his odd, 4d-like personality and tsukiyama-esque traits coupled with the the c4 detonating clay jutsu just make so interesting, which is why the elephant -or should I say snake- in the room ruined his presence; boruto obvious difference to those jonin's was his summoning, so this episode was screaming for it to happen.
In any case, arcs revolving around Mitsuki have had some of the best stories so far; and with those shadows covering his eyes as he's carrying Sekiei away, there is much more to tell -let's what goes on next episode


P.S.
I usually write my thoughts whilst watching it 'cause I have a lot to say but I end up forgetting it by the end of the episode
ahaha. ahaha

Just like what naruto did on Gamabunta on the first he summoning him.

- This is just classic "Sasuke retrieval arc" with low spec deidara and low spec 2nd tsuchikage as the enemy.
- about akuta, it was just deidara clay with kakuzu mask...
- the whole story of this episode was so predictable.

Reason why I'm still watching this arc is Garaga. He's a cool and hilarious character.

This arc started off pretty good, but this is getting annoying now.

Meh ep. Feel like I am watching Sasuke once again. Only this time it's not about revenge, but about finding his will. This is typical shounen so it's really should be obvious that this won't last that long. Somehow obviously Boruto will use the strongest jutsu in this series, talking-no-jutsu, to bring him back. However, I liked how smart Shikadai is. He makes a good combination with Inojin. Reminds me of Shikamaru and Chouji. They are a great time. Beside this, the rest of the ep. was meh.

Kokuyou's speed is impressive but was matched well by Boruto and co's teamwork. Cho cho and Inojin sure made a timely entrance. It was nice that we got to see the modern Ino Shika cho combo in action though. Hmm Kokuyou and his partner were not born but created huh. Though they were forced to retreat Shikadai's team at least fulfilled their objective. Garaga taking his own initiative sure was just like him though. Mitsuki's decision though was quite the twist.

Another shounen get my friend, then friend attacks you cliché ish. How long must we suffer these generic story lines?

Maybe they don't think we have watched Naruto, with that Sasuke line story. Maybe it will be different I guess I will have to see.

Bad episode as always but Garaga gave me a good laugh.

Yeah at this point you'd have to be slow to not see what happened in this episode coming ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ ) It was very cliche.

We're already up for another Sasuke retrieval kind of an arc and Mitsuki has already rejected Boruto's proposal of returning to the village; much like how Sasuke paid no heed to Naruto's cries. And as for the detonation clay jutsu goes, it's completely wasted on someone like Sekiei, who just knows how to play with those clays. Deidara was the only one to whom the jutsu suited and was able to bring out its true potentials.

Hopefully, this is the end of the Sasuke Retrieval Rehash Arc. Though Mitsuki 'betraying' Boruto was sad. Hopefully, we'll see Boruto's seal in action in the future.

Disappointing, not the fact it was predictable (tbh we all saw this coming) but the fact that they did a undercooked version of what the Sasuke route did back in Naruto. This fight isn't memorable, isn't giving us a heartfelt moment between the two showing bonds breaking. What we got was, "Hey im breaking up with you, its not you, its me." If it was going the way Naruto did back in its time, at least make it as good as the Sasuke route that happened in Naruto. It was a truly one of the best arcs that shaped Naruto and his friends. Sasuke and Naruto fighting for what they believe in and to see it all end with Sasuke as the winner looking down at his best friend was truly a moment that was worth remembering. Seeing the tactics that Shikamru had to do to get out of the genjutsu or the part when Kiba and Akamaru almost fucking died, like he and Choji were at critical. But it had more meaning behind it, this episode of boruto was disappointing and sadly I predictable none-the-less.

How are people hyped at all for this arc?? It's so boring. I'm only watching/skimming this arc in hopes something eventually catches my interest. It's literally a cheap rehash of Sasuke's and Naruto's story. This arc was such a poor decision by the writers. Boruto and co went through great lengths to remind everyone that this is BORUTO'S story, not the want-to-be-Hokage story of Naruto, yet here we have the same old stuff happening again. I really wanted to watch a NEW story in the Narutoverse. I highly enjoy seeing the old cast of Naruto to see how they're getting on, but if I wanted Naruto's story, I would've rewatched Naruto & Naruto Shippuden.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P
