The Naruto & Sasuke fight was awesome but that lame Katasuke had to ruin it.
Vanishing Rasengan is a cool jutsu.
That eye is a power from the Otsutsuki, cool.

Fight of the year easily, this episode had a workload of 6 months and had a longer in time in production than than the movie which was done in 4 months. The whole was jus breathtaking esp the sakuga scenes of momoshiki and naruto whin chung, it reminds me strongly of ip man. Fun fact the animation director was a chinese newcomer talent chengxi huang, remember that name hes was responsible the awesome taijutsu sakuga in the episode.

Good? They reanimated the whole movie scene with much better animation, compare it one to one, the movie version is inferior to this version. The work that the animators dedicated to this episode is jus insane

THIS EPISODE MADE ME REALISE I WASN'T WASTING MY TIME ON WATCHING BORUTO AT ALL.… lol one episode worth all the rest :)

I know how ya feel, the taijutsu scene was worth it alone, the wing chun reminded me of the ip man movies (master of said martial art)

Today's episode was laughable... Not for what it contained, but it's plot; the only reason why it turned out to be an amazing episode is down to naruto and sasuke going up against momoshiki -but that's not say boruto didn't have a vital role in all of this. His effort were pivotal in the outcome of the fight.
But, yes there is a but, the actual fight sequence -In other words, the build up- had no influence from the next gencharacters, and the previous gen's (namely, the Kage and Sasuke) roles are what made the story amazing.

In any case, I'm happy that they missed a week for this episode because I can now understand the Pierrot did so, so as to improve the animation quality... So yeah, this episode was epic *internally screaming with excitement*

Yes, they reanimated it and made it better. I never denied that, was just saying that the fight was already dope in the movie. Inferior to this new version but still dope.

This episode was simply a masterpiece. The animation was awesome, and their team work was so nostalgic... I'll just ignore the fact that Katasuke was there lol

The animation was SICK, almost like straight from the movie :3 Loved it! Also, Sasuke is such a kind master, he’s acting 10 times more cheerful than he did in the whole Naruto series xD I love his new self a lot, way better than his teenage angst phase.

Wow, what the hell just happened to this anime? That was fucking nuts. That fight was Uchiha Madara caliber, quite possibly the animation was even better than that.

Quite possibly the most gorgeous battle of the Naruto franchise!
Breathtaking action choreographies and the Sakuga was lit! Absolutely loved it, there were so many instances when I’d rewatch a certain scene just to see the action moves and such. Favourite scene was undoubtedly the short Momoshiki v Naruto, with Kurama’s chakra, hand fights, it was bloody amazing! Glorious stuff!

Naruto and Sasuke taking down the villain like the old days was top-notch! They really come up with the most intricate and entertaining plans, and it was amazing to get a bucket load of that in this episode alone. Boruto then stepping in with the invisible Rasengan was cool and was a bit of lol moment too. Naruto then helping Boruto to make that humongous of a Rasengan along with the memories being passed on, and the music in the background, was just freakin’ amazing! Ending was really dope too, I wonder what fate awaits the ‘human child’. If anything, this mystery behind the Byakuya eye matter is rather amusing in this series and this just reminded me why again here. Let’s not talk about Katasuke’s interference (yet again), lol he doesn’t remember a thing though. I’m hoping Boruto will man up now and get along better with Naruto.

Another point I want to highlight here is the change in Sasuke’s character in this Boruto Series. To be frank, I despised him in the Naruto Series but he’s been much better here. I’m still not like head over heels over him or anything of the sort, but I feel like the episodes featuring him have been more compelling to watch in this series. Good thing he’s finally, at long last, gotten over his past dilemma.

I’m thinking of bumping my score of this series to a 6 solely because of this episode but I think I’ll refrain from doing so at the moment. I really hope it’ll keep me invested in the next episode and the following arc, then maybe I’ll have no qualms on giving it a 6.

I always get reminded with how much Naruto and Sasuke have grown whenever I see them in action, especially when they're fighting like that together.

And Boruto definitely redeemed himself.

Sick episode, was worth watching the 64 other ones before.

As a newcomer to late-Naruto I wish the plot was less distracting though: fighting the op moon vamp youkai turns into an armoured kaijuu battle, then the op kid that can make invisible rasengan holds his dad genkidama and saves the day ?!

This episode was so dang good. I-
The fight was so SMOOOOTH. I had to admire that hand to hand between Naruto and Otsutsuki!! It damn good. And when Naruto and Boruto held up the Rasengan, freakin nostalgia.
Just hands down amazing!!!

Yep. Hands-down the best episode of Boruto! Loved the animation and action in this! Pierrot once again making an episode with sakuga in it, while Toei Animation never makes a One Piece episode with sakuga in it. Hope to see more episodes of Boruto that look like this.

This episode was stunning and uplifting! I smiled through the entire thing and it has become one of my favorite episodes by far! and I think will stay that way for a very long time. Hoping to see wonderful character development within Boruto. Finally, he understands the weight of his father and his friends that are carried upon their shoulders each day. I'm excited to see more of Sasuke as well as the entire gang team up for awesome fights such as this one. Also Loved seeing Gaara<3. "Leica (ライカ)" by Bird Bear Hare and Fish" makes me feel soo happy and it's the best ending theme song so far in my opinion that has been introduced to this series.
