Afterthoughts
These 15 episodes have been quite a journey for Boruto & his friends from the Land Of The Hidden Leaf, so now I get started by covering the 1st 5 episodes of this arc taking place.
So with the 1st 5 episodes there were somewhat some episodes covering Hidden Leaf members from other teams to which we get to encounter a Samurai vs Samurai battle in the 1st episode, the next episode focused on Denki who is now a Chunin a captain of his team now, to do an errand for Katasuke who works in in the Ninja Scientific tool division in the land of the Hidden Leaf, these 1st 2 episodes, eventually played a part with Denki’s mission mainly when an Island he was going to, ended up becoming hostages later on again, once the last 3 episodes played out of the 1st 5 episodes, as Team 7 made their appearance with Kawaki on the team, the beginning of the return to the Land Of Water Arc which Boruto caught up with Kagura whilst Kawaki, Mitsuki & Sarada were overseeing the safety of Katasuke who was meant to be appearing at a conference being held by the Hidden Mist Village.
By the time we move into the next 5 episodes we are officially in the Return To The Land Of Water Arc, as now The Land Of Water is now under conflict by Pirates of the Funato Clan, whilst this is happening many of the Members of the Hidden Leaf Village especially their Shinobi have been bought together from previous events to which some work alongside by those of the Hidden Mist Village Shinobi, Kagura being a friend who Boruto had made, plus Kawaki getting use to see so much of the world he hasn’t seen, plus helping out when he can, as things progress Boruto begins to make friends with Ikada to which at the time he doesn’t presently know he is 1 of the sons of the head Pirates that is warring against the Land Of Water, an sees that all Ikada wants to be is to learn a trade being Shipbuilding & eventually travel the whole world via a ship of his own making.
As we move into the last 5 episodes the stakes have been raised as now the Land Of Water, along with the help of the Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf, now prepare for war to come to their land, as we get to delve a little bit more into Kaguras past, as well to things that played apart in connecting with others, as this also happens within the story, it is also nice to see the backstory behind Ikada, an why he left his ways to become a shipbuilders apprentice, only for a reunion with his sister also of the Funato Clan, to be place into somewhat of a compromised position to which he must now abandon his dream to return to the side of his father who is the head of the Funato Clan, jumping forward towards the end of these 5 episodes we see the hard work by both Kaguras team, an his childhood village as they prepare for pirates to invade their land, as 1 of his prisoners has no gone rogue after being released leaving him to put his trust in the remaining prisoners to return the 1 that left the village.
These 15 episodes weren’t as strong as the last 15 episodes I recently reviewed, as I felt it did slip a bit in quality of its storytelling, but there were definitely some great moments with Kawaki in these episodes, as well to what was happening with Kagura & his team.
I still enjoyed the voice acting, as 1 of the voice actors in this reminded me of Killua from HxH, which was a big surprise, I stick by the rating I give to these 15 episodes.
