Lol of course Kawaki would make a scene in class because Kawaki is being himself. Go figure. However, it looks like the reason he's actually attending school is to protect a girl on a mission.

Not going to lie though, if it wasn't for Kawaki's personality, then the episode would've been boring. He added some popcorn entertainment.

This episode was amazing. Dunno why but it felt really refreshing after all these mediocre episodes. Love to see more of Kawaki and Himawari. The new characters like the princess or the teacher are also interesting. I hope that this will be a mini arc with at least 5 episodes.

Wahhh. It's a great episode. New characters!! Kawaki-kun is such a vibe hehe.

Kawaki-kun such a great fan of Naruto. 😊😂

Kae-chan is a princess. I'm excited on how this arc will unfold. I'm already suspicious about the other characters.

No ending visuals just the credits makes it more hype.

Himawari-chan found out about the secret mission. 😅

Ughh anyways looking forward next week!!!!!!

It is a real episode 😉. Boruto anime has 3 types of episodes: Manga canon, Anime canon and Filler. This was Anime canon, it a part of the story that is not in the manga but expanding the story and developing the characters. Anime canon is definitely not pointless. And there were 2 or 3 times when the anime canon stuff was referenced in the manga, for example Sumire's backstory.

huh looks like Princess Kae va sounded very familiar to me, as expected mal still outdated about the cast smh.

Seeing Kawaki around those kids is actually pretty funny. Imbalance af lmao. Looks like he's even get a rival already, and ofc the boy just ended up screwing himself xd. Dunno about where this story plot leading into Code saga. So let's see if this can be worth the time or no. So far it's fine...

Feel kinda bad about Kawaki, but maybe he can learn to get along better while he's at the academy.


"was"? Shouldn't that be "is"? He didn't end the sentence with a past tense.
「九尾九喇嘛の人柱力」「kyuubi kurama no jinchuriki. Maybe it was a typo? Or a mistranslation?
Besides it'd be weird to divulge a huge secret to a bunch of academy school kids.

Kawaki's mission is to protect the princess but it might be someone's mission to assassinate her. Hana sensei?
Or maybe one of the students 🤔. Either way this arc is going to be fun.

Huh, the way Kawaki interacted with the rest of academy class in this new anime canon arc made this already more enjoyable than the Hidden in the Mist arc as a whole. Let's see for how much though.

many don't know the difference between filler and canon anime, here's how to tell the difference:
1. arc duration. one episode of filler has ended while the canon anime can be more than 8 episodes
2. If the canon anime still has a sad scene, the filler is almost completely absent and there's actually a lot of comedy


the similarities between the two are the same not a story from a manga

From what I could see from the cast list Yukiwari Kae (雪割 カエ) is voiced by Minase Inori (水瀬いのり).



She has voiced characters such as Hestia from Danmachi, Jeanne from Vanitas no Karte, and Chino from Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?

Well yeah out of the three new characters introduced in this arc, two of them are voiced by renowned Seiyuu,

Princess Kae being voiced by:- Inori Minase who also voiced characters like Rem From Re Zero, Itsuki from Quintessential Quintuplets, Hestia from DanMachi

and the Other character being Oska Kamakura [Pink attire] Daughter of legendary actor Kagemasa is voiced by: Rina Hidaka who also voiced characters like Milim from Reincarnated as slime,. Filo from Rising of the Shield Hero and Arisu Sakayangi from Classroom of the Elite

What a great premise for a filler arc kawaki and himiwari are some of the most likeable characters I’d be happy for this to be the backdrop of a filler for the next few months (accepting we won’t have cannon for at least 6 months ://)

Nice to know that the show is still ignoring the whole 'Boruto could turn and destroy the world at any minute' aspect of the story for the sake of filler and Kawaki's shot at the ninja academy. Next up is the Princess's tea party, that's sure to be a banger... ugh.

So I was confused as to why Kawaki was attending the Academy as he is already a Genin, signified by his Leaf headband, which is only given to those who are recognized as a full fledged shinobi. This is basic Naruto knowledge from the very first episode.

However, we learn that Naruto has sent Kawaki on a top secret mission to protect the daughter of the King of the Land of Bamboo, Kae Yukiwari. If she dies, someone else will become the successor. Hence, the King has asked the Leaf to protect her and keep this mission a secret. The only person in the Academy that knows about this mission is Iruka.

So, Kawaki happens to also be in the same class as Himawari, as she has decided to study in the Academy to learn what it takes to be a ninja. The teacher, Hana Kaka, asks everyone to introduce themselves. We get to see some new characters in this episode, but only two of them are relevant to this specific episode. Kae Yukiwari, the target that Kawaki is supposed to protect, and Eiki Fuuma, a kid that falls in love with her and becomes a weirdo.

Speaking of, when Kawaki tries talking to Kae and inviting her to eat some Taiyaki, his favorite food, Eiki steps in and asks Kawaki if he’s hitting on her. Kawaki doesn’t know what this means, and Eiki defines it as “when you talk to someone you think is kind of nice with the intent of becoming closer”.

That isn’t fully wrong, but if by that definition alone if you’re trying to become someone’s friend, you have to hit on them. He left out the fact that when you hit on someone, your intent is to get romantically involved with them and not just get closer in general. Closer could be going from acquaintances to friends, or friends to best friends, or becoming like family.

Eiki wasn’t clear on that, and since Kawaki was going off his definition, Kawaki agreed to the idea that he’s hitting on Kae. This upsets Eiki, and from this point on Eiki has some kind of vendetta against Kawaki.

There is this funny segment in which Hana asks Kawaki to express his knowledge on the Hokage. Kawaki hypes up Naruto and talks about everything he knows about him.

But then he gets weird and says that Naruto sometimes wears his shirts inside out. Luckily, Hana stopped him before it got worse.

The day ends and Himawari tries to pry on why Kawaki wants to be Kae’s friend. Since this mission is a secret, Kawaki doesn’t tell her. Regardless, Himawari lets Kawaki know that Kae likes romance novels, so Kawaki buys one in an attempt to get closer to her.

When he enters the Academy the next day, she is surrounded by media, so he waits until later. During a training exercise, Eiki decides to challenge Kawaki to show Kae that he’s superior. Kawaki straight up told him that he doesn’t like picking on people weaker than him (TOTAL ROAST) and doesn’t accept his challenge. Eiki tries to attack, but Kawaki is EASILY able to dodge him with minimal effort. Bro doesn’t know he’s dealing with an actual Genin.

Kae goes off by herself and reflects on her days in the Leaf, and it so happens that Kawaki is present. Kawaki learns that Kae has been doing an act to represent her nation since she is a princess. Eiki comes over with a scroll he stole from the storage room and he does a summoning.

The funny thing is that in the Academy they already went over the fact that YOU NEED A CONTRACT TO DO A SUMMONING!

Regardless, Eiki attempts it and he passes out right after. A wolf comes out and Kawaki ends it with a punch. He didn’t even half to use the Scientific Ninja Tools in his body for it. He just clapped it easily while holding onto Kae. Kae agrees to become Kawaki’s friend as long as he doesn’t tell everyone about who she truly is.

Kawaki informs Naruto on the progress of his mission and Himawari was eavesdropping, so she knows now too. I was shocked when the ending was playing with the episode and the fact that this mission will go past this episode.

I’m excited to see what happens next!

It is hilarious that people are still debating what is canon, manga canon and filler... when every episode officially is canon but in reality this doesn't matter, it will not be mentioned in the manga anyway.

For how long Boruto is airing manga mentioned anime stuff only two times, Boruto being in mist village when he met Ao and Sumire but even then without Nue.
Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.112/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.202/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.117/? - weekly) | Machi and Oboro (Ch.21/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.85/? - biweekly)
- Monochrome Days (Ch.14/? - biweekly)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)
- Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished)

I thought Hima would think Kawaki liked Kae and wanted to go out. I was hoping she'd tell Boruto that and it would go sideways with them trying to set Kawaki up. Kawaki on a date sounds hilarious to me.

Hold up, is this going to be a whole special arc?! I approve!!
This episode would have been a 5/5 for me, but I had 3 major issues.
1. Kawaki going to be hardstuck in Academy because sleeps and is not learning like should be. Also if not sleeping, staring like the socially unintelligent he is.
2. Kid being dumb harassing Kawaki for no reason
3. Their teacher kind of throwing me off since she's at least a Chuunin but giving me civilian or genin vibes

So they know Kawaki is Himawari's older brother, but no comments about him also being son of Hokage. The age gap itself is not surprising as I assume the princess is a little older, and people who repeat like Iwabe get an age gap. Like father like son, didn't Naruto get some princesses to love him? Lots of colorful characters! Wonder if they will exist in future. Looks like this is [anime] canon so could be!!! (next manga canon seems to be 282, so will be a long one again it seems)

I came here to say I loved the wink at the start of this episode. I didn't know Naruto could do subtlety but there you go.

This was a fun episode. I hope this show occasionally finds time to goof off when it eventually returns. I love drama and high stakes, but for 2 episodes out of every 30, give me some goofy comedy to break the tension.
