The symbolism comparing Yagura from episode 27 and episode 29:https://i.imgur.com/ym9mgIS.png

This one from episode 27 symbolises that Yagura had actually left the ways of the bloody mist and the blood was rinsed away. But now Shizuma have influenced Yagura to go back his ways of his ancestors and now the cards are red.

Looks like some relatives of previous Seven Swordsmen members are part of the new group, so that kind of explains their motivations for why they're doing this. It was also cool to see Suigetsu have a somewhat important role in this arc.

I wonder how Sarada will do next episode against Raiga's daughter, this is a person who isn't even a genin yet going against a seasoned swordsman so if they're on equal footing, or if Sarada somehow wins without assistance, that would be sad on the swordsman's part. Plus it wouldn't make any sense, realistically speaking.



I don't think people knew he was being controlled so they probably thought he did the things he did because he was evil and corrupt, without learning that he was actually doing that stuff against his will.

I like how the mizukage is just playing these guys.

Still dislike how powerful they are making Borutos generation look compared to their parents.

I was about to write this. Remember how long it took Naruto to even get pass a kage? They shouldn't even be able to scratch a mizukage

Chojuro is toying with those guys, he can't be that weak.

Why y’all want hate again? They have no motive for becoming the blood mist village again either than to be “strong” and “feared”...

Anyways the show is really getting really interesting still even if everything is perfect... also are we just going to ignore that there’s some type of whole other dimension in the universe (mentioned in The Whole Nobu arc) ... like really???

Second this and the Mizukage better be playing these guys else it's gonna suck that they nerfed him too.

I'm more annoyed that these academy students are somehow going to be able to defeat these kids in the 18-21 range. They're not even Genin yet ffs and they're already far stronger than Naruto's generation were at that point.
I was already annoyed in the original series that these 15-16 year olds can put up a good fight(or just straight up surpass them in skill) against their late 20s-early 30s instructors and squad leaders.

Literally this entire episode was talking.

I don't understand how this show can get worse and worse every week.

There's been maybe 5 good episodes out of 29.

I'm really not liking this arc. It has some good ideas in it but it fails in the execution.

Kagura's motivation somehow only got dumber this episode. I could accept that he felt that he owed a debt to the guy who stopped him from killing somebody but after he said "Mr. Shizuma is the only one who will accept me for who I really am." I started losing hope. Think about what he's saying there: "I don't like being a psychotic killer, so I'll be lead by the guy who accepts and enjoys that I'm a psychotic killer."

Either Kagura's a whole different kind of psychosis then he's been letting on or his motivation is pretty dumb.

I think their trying to capture the spirit of the Zabuza arc in this, but its not really working. Motivations are either convoluted or uninteresting, I don't feel any sense of sympathy from any of the enemies, and of course none of them are as intimidating as the Zabuza, Haku, and Kisame.

I don't feel the same sense of urgency because this isn't that famous arc on a bridge with no one nearby that could possibly do much against high ranking super powered ninjas. This is an arc where the only reason the characters haven't won already is because they want to keep one kid from having a criminal record.
They lifted the stakes too high but made all the heroes too reckless and over confident for those stakes to feel meaningful.

I doubt Kagura will get a better reason for doing what he's doing now so I don't really care what happens to him now. I doubt he'll die, I doubt he'll go full on supervillain. My guess is he'll be back in another episode.

I know their not going to turn this around but I will admit I'm excited to see what a single Mizukage and a couple of Ninja grade schoolers can do against such unique weapons.

lmao, those thugs think they can beat Mizukage so easily just because they wield the seven sword.
