This week's Boruto: Naruto Next Generations answers some big questions as the latest arc heads into its third act. Now awakened, the injured gatekeeper informs Naruto that Mitsuki is headed to the Land of Earth with a group of Hidden Stone shinobi, prompting the latter to make a call to Kurotsuchi and brief her on the situation. Meanwhile, the gothic lolita-clad Kirara and an as-yet-unnamed member of the Stone group return to their hideout and inform a heavily veiled figure known as Ku that they've taken care of the Leaf's trackers. As Mitsuki and the other two members of the team prepare to cross the border into the Land of Earth, the childlike Sekiei reveals that he and his cohorts are artificial beings with very limited lifespans—and that Mitsuki holds the key to making them more human. After sending Cho-Cho and Inojin back to the Leaf, Shikadai and the remaining two thirds of Team 7 nearly manage to catch up to Mitsuki at the edge of the border. However, before they're able to make contact, the gang is intercepted by the no-nonsense Kokuyou, who's able to control Akuta (creepy canine-like creatures who appear to have a similar genetic makeup to the Leaf's newest enemies).

Compared to the past few installments, quite a bit of progress is made on the story front this week. Although we still don't exactly why Mitsuki chose to accompany Kokuyou and company, we're finally given some insight into why they've taken an interest in him. Now that we've finally gotten an extended look at this arc's antagonists, it's safe to say that, character-wise, none of them appear to be anything special. While their mysterious origins and combat techniques are mildly interesting, we've seen these same character archetypes assigned to countless small-scale Naruto villains, particularly the ones found in the feature films and filler arcs. That said, seeing how the gang fares against their respective techniques (not to mention the Akuto) may make for some entertaining action sequences in the coming weeks. While it's pretty clear that Mitsuki isn't a traitor, it'll be interesting to see the exact nature of his interest in this band of baddies.

Although this was touched on several episodes back, it's good that the show didn't simply gloss over Konohamaru's reaction to the revelation of Mitsuki's parentage. The fact that one of his students is the child of his grandfather's killer continues to weigh on him, but as he reiterates to Mirai, it doesn't change the way he feels about Mitsuki. Since Mirai wasn't born until after Sarutobi's death, she serves as the perfect audience for Konohamaru's musings on why the Third was such an influential figure. Also interesting is the conversation between Naruto and Kurotsuchi. Given the nature of the accusations against citizens of her village (and her country), it makes sense for the Tsuchikage to be skeptical of Naruto's claims and demand hard proof, although the gatekeeper's word ultimately suffices. Even though this series is set in a time of relative peace and cooperation amongst the Hidden Villages, exchanges like this help illustrate that tensions still exist.

This week's episode resumes the search for Mitsuki in earnest, with the gang's adventure in Ryuchi Cave hardly given a mention. Now that the villains have made a proper appearance and revealed their intentions, the stage is set for big revelations and exciting battles in the weeks to come. Although this arc's second act had some pacing issues and felt somewhat disconnected from the main story, episode 78 shows signs that Boruto will ultimately stick the landing.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 56 [Review]

The Chunin exams are officially underway as Boruto: Naruto Next Generations heads into the second act of the film's storyline. Now that each hidden village's examinees and proctors have arrived in the Leaf, the first-ever joint-village exams are finally off the ground. After making enemies of the trio of examinees from the Cloud and becoming acquainted with Shinki's group, Team 7 takes part in the first phase of the exam: an intricate yet simplistic quiz game proctored by Sai. In the end, all the main characters are able to see through Sai's ruse and move on to the next round, which is set to take place in three days. Shortly after arriving home, Boruto is pleasantly surprised to receive an email from his father congratulating him on his recent victory and wishing him luck in the next round.

Since the exams themselves didn't receive much focus in the preceding feature film, it makes sense for a longer form version of the story to flesh them out a bit. For example, the members of Team 7 finding themselves at odds with the trio of Cloud Genin is something entirely new, as is the expanded role of Shinki and his fellow Sand Ninja. That being said, the impromptu rivalry with the Cloud kids is a fairly tried trope, albeit one that's perfectly at home in a shonen anime. The expanded journey to the exam grounds also doesn't add much to the story, though it does serve a purpose—namely, to get rid of assorted small fry before the main event. Based on what's been shown, Shinki seems like a reasonably interesting character, but given his relative lack of screen time, it's hard to pin him down at this point. The hitherto unrevealed special skill he alludes to in the woods certainly sounds like something to look forward to, however.

The twist to Sai's exam is clever, although even if you haven't seen the film version, it's pretty easy to figure out the gist of it before the big reveal—especially since Boruto's team and Shinki's team each choose different answers. After all the work the show has done to build Shinki up as a skilled shinobi, there's no way his team would be taken out of the game this early on. Sai's closing message that only those who give up in the face of failure can truly be called failures nicely resonates with one of the franchise's central themes: hard work and perseverance will always be rewarded. Sai's trick with the stopwatch—starting the countdown before he's finished explaining, without so much as a twitch in his expression—is another clever trick that perfectly encapsulates Sai's unique manner of thinking.

The first round of the Chunin exams is over almost as quickly as it begins, but that helps add to the brisk pace of the challenge, emphasizing the limited amount of time the characters have to complete their task. While the Cloud kids are paint-by-numbers antagonists, they'll at least provide Team 7 with enemies to fight until the Otsutsukis arrive on the scene.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 55 [Review]

The countdown to the Chunin exams continues as both the heroes and villains gear up for the battle ahead. Still frustrated by his lack of progress while training under Sasuke, Boruto continues to cut corners with the help of Katasuke's invention. As the other teams train for the upcoming exams, the Otsutsukis begin putting their plan into motion. After being briefed on the Tailed Beasts by Urashiki, Momoshiki and Kinshiki set to work collecting the two remaining Jinchuriki, starting with Killer Bee. Once the group takes possession of Bee and Gyuki, they set their sights on their next targets: Naruto and Kurama.

Thus far, the additions made to the feature film's storyline have helped add depth without making things feel padded or protracted. Since the TV series is presenting this tale as a long-form arc instead of a 90-minute movie, the general pacing is much slower, but the story has yet to suffer as a result. In fact, if the scenes taken directly from the film didn't present such a noticeable aesthetic contrast to the TV-quality visuals, it would be easy to forget the current arc originated as a movie. As was the case with previous installments, episode 55 is able to aptly build tension, provide each character with a clearly defined role, and conclude on a thematically appropriate and unobtrusive moment. In effect, they've managed to add small climaxes to each installment, providing enough excitement to keep viewers who are intimately familiar with the film version to keep tuning in.

Urashiki continues to make a welcome addition to the main cast. On their own, Momoshiki and Kinshiki were fairly stoic and uninteresting, so pairing them with a cohort who's jovial and upbeat makes for a good balance. In addition to adding some levity to the dynamic, Urashiki's fun-loving personality helps set him apart from the other Otsutsuskis who have appeared throughout the series. Instead of being robotic in appearance and demeanor, he cuts loose at every opportunity and appears to be having fun with the task at hand. Seeing how his presence affects the story's climax (if at all) should prove interesting in the weeks ahead.

With the exams set to commence next week, the small screen version of Boruto -Naruto the Movie- is heading into a more action-driven part of the story. Interestingly, the preview primarily features footage from the movie, but seeing as the various phases of the exams accounted for a reasonably small portion of the film, it's a safe bet that the TV series will fill in plenty of gaps. Adapting a self-contained movie into a longer format while simultaneously incorporating it into the broader mythology of an ongoing TV series is no mean feat, particularly when portions of the film are spliced with new footage that looks noticeably different. Fortunately, despite the odds being stacked against it, Boruto has managed to make this tricky process look easy week after week.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 54 [Review]

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 54 [Review]

Boruto -Naruto the Movie-'s small-screen adaptation rolls on this week as Sasuke reveals danger on the horizon and Boruto begins learning his father's signature technique. In addition to rooting for Sarada in the upcoming Chunin exams, Sasuke the eternal wanderer returned home to deliver a scroll he obtained from Kaguya's palace to Naruto. In order to escape the palace with the scroll in tow, Sasuke had to duke it out with Momoshiki and Kinshiki. Meanwhile, frustrated with his inability to master the Rasengan in a timely manner while training under Konohamaru, Boruto begins using the revolutionary new invention provided by Katasuke (who's clearly been possessed by an unknown enemy), which enables him to effortlessly produce the Rasengan. Although Sasuke agrees to take Boruto on as a student, he's quick to take notice of the mysterious device on the young man's wrist.

Episode 54 is notable for featuring an abundance of top-shelf visuals and animation. Although Sasuke's frenetic, fluidly-animated battle with Momoshiki and Kinshiki serves as the highlight, the general aesthetics and character movement are of fairly high quality throughout the episode. Since the current arc is reasonably important, even if this is its second anime adaptation, it makes sense for the series' A-team to oversee game-changing episodes. While it's doubtful this level of quality will be present in each subsequent chapter, perhaps this week's outing is indicative of what we can expect from upcoming battle episodes.

The episode also does a good job of illustrating the similarities Boruto shares with his old man, as well as the things that make them different. Even though Boruto makes surprisingly rapid progress in learning the first phase of the Rasengan, he's unsatisfied by Sasuke's lack of praise, prompting him to use Katasuke's invention. Even Sasuke, who's constantly critical of Naruto, opines that he wishes Boruto were more like his father, despite the fact that he has more natural talent and a higher aptitude for learning. In all likelihood, Boruto is being set up to learn a lesson about hard work and perhaps even come to respect the work ethic that takes Naruto away from his family so often. While this is certainly a lesson befitting a children's action series, it doesn't quite fit Boruto's personality as established in the TV series. Sure, he's not the most studious member of the cast, but he's never seemed outright averse to hard work.

Boruto's vulnerable side is also on full display this week. At the beginning of the episode, he has no qualms about venting his anger toward his father in front of Sasuke, someone he's just meeting for the first time. When Sasuke seems unimpressed with his progress on the Rasengan, he runs away while forcing back tears. Although it's meant to provide the “ah-ha” moment for his training, the scene in which he makes pancakes with Himawari is a touching example of the familial love that drives many of Boruto's actions. He may be quick to anger and rude to Naruto and Sarada, but he does care deep down, and he'll go out of his way to make those he loves happy. He's never embarrassed about how much he cares for his sister either, as many boys that age are in other works of fiction.

With Sasuke reappearing in the Hidden Leaf, the Otsutsuki clan lurking in the shadows, and Boruto electing to take the easy way out, the stage is being set for an action-packed emotional rollercoaster. The perpetually rocky relationship between Naruto and his son has been swept into the background in recent arcs, but it looks like things will come to a head in the coming weeks. Though brash and impatient, Boruto is also shown to possess deeper levels of empathy this week, making him an easier character to root for.
