"The Tournament Begins!"

Tournament arcs are meant to be a time of great excitement, and although there was some impressive stuff on display, my feelings are quite mixed on this one.

(Make rarenai riyuu)
"The Reason I Can't Lose"The Chunin Exam's second round reminded me of Capture the Flag in Overwatch. Only it's 3v3, featuring Genji alts with varying abilities.

!! (Raibaru, shuuketsu!!)
"Rivals, Gather!"

McDonalds is where all the cool kids gather, am I right?

(Kagaku ningu)"The Scientific Ninja Tool"Watching each team prepare for the upcoming exams was interesting, especially because they had their own separate ways of going about it. However, troublesome times are upon us.

(Sasuke to Boruto)"Sasuke and Boruto"Aside from being a shitty father, I much prefer how this series approaches Sasukes characterisation compared with Shippuden.

(Himawari no tanjoubi)"Himawari's Birthday""I never go back on my word, thats my ninja way!" - Uzumaki Naruto

(Sasuke no kage)"Sasuke's Shadow"The end goal of achieving continuity with upcoming events is fine. But the execution itself was sorely lacking.

(Boruto no tanjoubi)"Boruto's Birthday"That Naruto seems like a really stand up guy. I reckon he's not the kind of person who would miss his son's birthday... right???

(Chuu Shinobu Senbatsu Shiken (Chnin Senbatsu Shiken) suisen kaigi)The Chunin Exams: The Recommendation MeetingDunno what I was expecting for a 50th episode special, but it's time for a recap on everything that's happened so far.

!! / (Genin Dokyumentarii!! / Wasabi to Namida)"The Genin Documentary!! / Wasabi and Namida"With each team getting some screen time, in order to further develop members of the next generation, you'll be sure that we're slowly ramping up towards the Chuunin Exams.
