If you’re planning to watch Boruto or have already started after finishing Naruto Shippuden, you might find it less exciting compared to Naruto. I felt the same way, and many others share this experience. However, I believe Boruto is a good anime with strong potential, even if it doesn’t match the greatness of Naruto Shippuden.
Currently, the manga for Boruto Season 2 is ongoing. To truly enjoy Boruto, you need to be selective. Watching the entire series might feel overwhelming due to the slower pacing and filler episodes.
Based on my experience, I’ve created a Boruto viewing guide. This guide focuses on the essential episodes—starting with a few introductory ones to understand the themes, and then moving to arcs featuring the Kara organization and the Ōtsutsuki clan (the main villains of the series). Below is the list I recommend.
Arc Name | Episodes | Description |
Academy Entrance Arc | 1–15 | Focuses on Boruto Uzumaki’s entry into the Ninja Academy and his struggles to live up to his father’s legacy. (I wouldn’t recommend this but it’s for better understanding of the series.) |
Versus Momoshiki Arc | 51–66 | Involves Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki attacking the Chunin Exams and the subsequent battle involving Boruto, Naruto, and Sasuke. |
Versus Urashiki Arc | 120–138 | Follows Urashiki Otsutsuki’s attempts to capture chakra from Boruto and Shinki, including a time-travel adventure where Boruto meets a younger Naruto. |
Kara Actuation Arc | 157–176 | Introduces the Kara organization, focusing on their experiments and goals, and sets up the conflict with Boruto and his team. |
Kawaki Arc: Kara | 177–188 | Delves deeper into Kara’s operations and members, highlighting their interactions with Team 7. |
Kawaki Arc: Kawaki | 188–220 | Introduces Kawaki, his connection to the Otsutsuki clan, and explores his relationship with Boruto and Naruto. |
Code Arc | 287-293 | Focuses on Code, a key member of Kara, seeking revenge for Isshiki Otsutsuki and presenting new challenges for Boruto and his allies. |
