Top 5 Boruto Anime Moments

The end of Naruto Shippuden brought a mix of feelings for fans. They were happy to see the series wrap up but also a bit sad that the journey was over. But, soon after Boruto: Naruto Next Generations came out. The Boruto anime continues the story with the shinobi entering adulthood and a whole new generation of ninjas. Spirits were lifted and disappointed at the same time.

The joy was short-lived for several reasons. The fillers, weak episodes, lacklustre portrayal of canon characters, and disappointing deviations from the canon in Boruto. Despite the anime’s bad reputation and the consensus that Naruto(of course) was superior, Boruto has its own charm and even presents certain elements better than Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. Let’s get into the top 5 Boruto moments.

Naruto And Sasuke Teaming Up Against Momoshiki

Fans have always loved to see Sasuke and Naruto team up. Their battle against Momoshiki is a highlight for a lot of the fans. This fight showcases some of the best episodes in the anime, with Sasuke and Naruto taking turns attacking Momoshiki after he defeated the other Kages present.

The duo even combines their powers, using a Susanoo-protected Kurama to launch a decisive attack on Momoshiki, ultimately defeating the Otsutsuki. If it weren’t for Katasuke’s overconfidence, this might have been the end of the battle against Momoshiki. Sasuke’s Amenotejikara is particularly effective, and Naruto’s taijutsu skills are shown to be on par with a god’s.

Fans also get treated to Sasuke using chibaku tensei in an attempt to seal Momoshiki, and they get to see the rare fused forms of Sasuke’s Susanoo and Naruto’s Kyuubi fox mode, making the battle more exciting.

Naruto’s Baryon Mode

The highest-rated Boruto episode, Episode 216, fulfilled the dreams of many fans by showcasing Naruto’s Final Getsuga Tenshou equivalent from the beginning of the Kawaki Arc. In this episode, Isshiki Otsutsuki, the instigator of Kawaki’s Karma, launches an attack on Konoha. Boruto transforms and transports them to another dimension where Sasuke and Naruto confront Isshiki.

Kurama suggests using Baryon Mode, a technique that combines Naruto’s and Kurama’s chakras to create new energy, like nuclear fusion. This tactic weakens Isshiki quickly, reducing his lifespan because his chakra gets used up when he fights Baryon Mode Naruto. While this mode drains all of Naruto’s chakra and leads to Kurama’s eventual death, it turns Naruto’s chakra into pure power, which is amazing.

The fight is a big moment in the series, with Kurama “dying” and Sasuke “losing” his Rinnegan, which has a lasting impact on the characters and fans.

Boruto Discovering His Ninja Way

Living in his father’s shadow has never been easy for Boruto. He faced immense expectations, especially with Naruto’s absence, which initially caused him to stray from his ninja path and even resort to cheating to prove himself, despite being naturally talented.

However, everything changed after his encounter with Momoshiki and some guidance under Sasuke’s mentorship. Through these experiences, Boruto began to grasp the true essence of being a shinobi. He realized that he didn’t aspire to be a Hokage like his father. He aimed to be someone like Sasuke, who protects the village and serves as the Hokage’s right-hand man. This realization was a significant and heartwarming moment for Boruto, making it one of the anime’s most memorable and valuable moments.

Boruto’s Jougan

The Jougan, also known as Boruto’s “Pure Eye,” remains a mysterious and captivating aspect of the anime and Boruto’s character design. When Boruto first revealed this dojutsu, many speculated it to be either a completely new dojutsu or an advanced form of the Byakugan.

However, the intrigue deepened when members of the Otsutsuki clan immediately recognized the Jougan. Momoshiki predicted that Boruto’s “blue eyes” would lead to significant losses in the future. This led to theories suggesting that the Jougan might be an ancient kekkei genkai that has been unseen for generations.

Regardless of its origins, the Jougan’s mystery and potential consequences for Boruto have captured fans’ attention. This is one of the series’ secrets that keeps viewers eagerly engaged.

Koji Kashin’s True Identity

Fans began speculating about Koji Kashin’s true identity from the moment he was introduced in the anime. As a member of Kara, he shared striking similarities with Naruto’s mentor, Jiraiya, in appearance and fighting style. Suspicions grew when his chakra didn’t set off Konoha’s security systems, hinting at a connection to the village.

Debates arose among fans, with some disliking the idea of resurrecting Jiraiya and tarnishing his legacy, while others proposed that Kashin might be a clone. These theories gained traction during the intense battle between Koji Kashin and Jigen. In the end, they reveal that Kashin is indeed a clone of one of the legendary Sannin. This revelation marked a significant and unique moment in the Boruto anime.
