#boruto 22

Shonen rules state that your power level is proportionate the strength of your friendship with the protagonist. Sarada has discovered a way to game that system: by upgrading your friendship to love.

In this case, love = control over gravity. And Sarada loves Boruto so much that she can implode her enemies into sand.

Boruto realizes Koji is willing to sacrifice all the fodder characters like Yodo to keep him safe. He knows Konohamaru is fodder, so he teleports in to save his sensei.

Konohamaru marvels at how Boruto was able to kill Matsuri in a single blow. Boruto points out that she was balancing on her own spinal cord (spinal trunk?) and was not at full power.

Meanwhile, Jura teleports in and evolves from Toupee Mode to Mohawk Mode. Boruto stays and fights him so Konohamaru's team has time to retreat.

As they fight, Jura gets ahold of Boruto's weapon. Boruto shows more anger at the thought of Sasuke's sword getting bent than anything else that he's witnessed today.

Boruto does an Uzuhiko Rasengan on Jura, but he's a final boss so it doesn't work on him.

Both Boruto 21 and 22 are very interesting episodes, if you haven’t yet read the Naruto Gaiden series, then you won’t know whats going on here, but to anime-only viewers, it seems like the story of Sarada and her relationship with Sakura and Karin is being played quite well. As this is anime-related I won’t spoil it for the viewers, but this arc will most likely end the way you predict it will.

Naruto is actually doing a pretty darn good job of helping Sarada with her emotional outburst, especially as she questions both Sakura and Sasuke if they even care each other, or for her. We even see Orochimaru alongside Suigetsu and Jugo, which is a nice surprise because they’ve seemed to have grown up quite a lot, well… on Orochimaru’s case, he’s ground older and younger too.

Sakura is trapped, with Shin and his other little Shin’s around her with large knives ready to attack. The fact that we’ve seen here and now that Karin is Sarada’s mother will definitely put the relationship between Sakura and Sarada into a slow halt for a little while at least, or something amazing will happen and somehow this won’t happen and it’ll just be honky dory for the rest of the anime period.

Nevertheless, it seems like Sarada is finally getting some time with Sasuke who is quickly showing her some insanely awesome abilities like his Susanoo, hopefully she will learn something from this and grow up not to hate but love. Anyways, what did you think about these two episodes? Go ahead and comment down below as we wait for Boruto 23, titled “Bonds Come In All Shapes”, should be good.
