Good to see Mitsubishi step up.

Oh did it? I thought it was just the ohtsutsuki eyes but admittedly I can't keep track of how the eye abilities work with that.

Eida is making the plot flow quite a bit faster. Much appreciated with the monthly releases.

Mitsuki looks mad. Poor Sarada still had hope for Kawaki. And we finally get Boruto's scar. Givne what Momoshiki said, does that mean Boruto's scar eye is like...permanently his? Does he have a Byakugan now?

I think in the anime they called that eye a Jougan? It's funny how the next generation had to correct Naruto's biggest flaw as a protagonist: he never got magic eyes.

Maybe I was wrong, but I thought all Ohtsusuki had Byakugan as a standard.

I was surprised learning Boruto was killed by Kawaki wasn't enough for a mangekyo. She def seems guilty enough to get that sweet endorphin rush.

Assuming she survives Kawaki’s attack in the future I would not be surprised if Sarada manages to awaken the Mangekyo eventually (provided they allow her to be relevant that is)

Her and Mitsuki getting to be on screen for Kawaki's heel turn makes me hopeful that they get to have their spot back at Boruto's side.

At the rate Kawaki is spouting emo savior-complex nonsense he'll just get the eyehax instead.

Boruto definitely seems taller in the prologue so a timeskip is all but confirmed. As such I’ll be curious:

A: How they justify doing one

B: How long until it happens at this rate

and

C: How long we’ll have with the new versions of the characters before Kawaki wrecks the village

Also with Naruto gone I guess this basically makes Shikamaru the acting Hokage now

Or if they wanted to keep up appearances maybe they could have Konohamaru fill in for a bit (he technically was the one at the initial ceremony and Sarada’s now the leader of Team 7 anyway). As you said, Shikamaru’s basically been the one running the show anyway

I do kinda wonder if Naruto's dream would have changed at any point if someone seriously sat down with him and told what being hokage actually entails.

Aside from occasionally being an absentee parent, I think it's worked out much better for him than he could have dreamed. He gets to be the most popular and beloved ninja, he gets first shot at any super baddie threat should he choose, and most importantly all the tough decisions and big brain thinking are carried out by his own Dick Chaney--Shikamaru.

Besides lower ranking ninja, what dream job would he even be qualified or even suited for?

I think he also has a sword similar to Sasuke, my guess is boruto goes off to train with him or something.

I think it was a missed opportunity to not have the time skip be a few years of domestic hijinks in the apartment between Eda, Boruto and Kawaki. They did the whole set up and it didn't even last a day!

He freaked out because he realized Momoshiki was still around, in fairness. Also, it's pretty funny that Amado was also seemingly caught off-guard by Kawaki's behavior. Naruto dudes being evil masterminds who get tripped up by details and unplanned variables is an aspect of Kishimoto's writing I enjoy.

I actually totally get and empathize with Kawaki's actions cause like, dude isn't wrong. Momoshiki is practically wearing Boruto's corpse of only Kawaki knows it. Nobody's gonna believe him and even if they did they wouldn't be willing to kill Boruto again. He's also a violent zealot so whatcha gonna do.

Apparently the anime is being split off into another series, Part 1 ends this month:

That’s really strange. The manga seems to be acting like they’ve reached the first chapter flash forward too, even though they don’t really look like they have.

The manga is at least closer to it than the anime likely will be by the time the 26th rolls around (they’ve only just gotten to the point where Kawaki goes after Code) which is why this seems like such a weird place to split the anime at
