BORUTO EPISODE 207 REVIEW & SUMMARY
BORUTO EPISODE 207: This episode was really great. For a moment there I was
going to give it a rating of 8/10 after some important manga info were removed
but then I changed my mind and gave it full ratings after the anime made amends
by making some important additions Let’s look at what those were as well as other
important occurrences that took place in this episode.
1️). Boro’s statement about his acquisition of abilities that ninja training can’t grant
very much reminded me of a similar statement made by Momoshiki who said Chakra
pills grants the Otsutsuki powers that could never be acquired through a lifetime of
training and Chakra cultivation. More reason for his arrogance.
2️). It was good to see Boro acknowledge Mitsuki’s resourcefulness just as I pointed
out in the last review.

3️). Boros’ clever exploitation of Team 7’s concern for Naruto to land a hit on Kawaki
shows the gap in battle experience and IQ Though how he was able to mix in
explosives with his virus is far beyond me.
4️). Kawaki really impressed me in this episode. For someone who for the first time,
teamed up with people with whom he was unfamiliar with their fighting style and
abilities, he synced perfectly with Boruto & Mitsuki and was able to analyze Sarada’s
ability quickly enough to know that her Sharingan was key in deciphering Boro’s
weaknesses. Quite admirable I’d say.
5). Making Kawaki hold Sarada’s hand in this episode when it was not so in the manga
was really heartwarming for me While of course, it might hold no meaning to rival
shippers, my ship dojutsu could see right through the intent of the producers there.
My dear KawaSara Shippers!!! We need only exercise patience, for our heart desires
will soon be granted.

6). A lot of people have been commenting on the absence of a UGO
(urino-genital-organ) in Boro. Well, Boro is a cyborg and it’s very understandable
that he has no UGO At least most cyborgs don’t. Though, I’m very much uncertain
if Delta & Eida have one. It wouldn’t make any sense biologically and emotionally
for a hyper horny girl like Eida not to have one if you know what I mean.
7). I wouldn’t link the presence of the core in Boro as a limit to Amado’s engineering
skills as Kawaki pointed out. It’s actually impossible to create a perfect cyborg
without something to regulate or boost their abilities So, it’s not that Amado’s skills
have limits, but rather, engineering itself is limited.

8). I wanted to mention this in the last review but I actually wanted to see if they’d
correct it in this episode. I do not appreciate the removal of Sarada’s 3 tomoe
Sharingan that was shown in the manga While it is very true that the Chidori can
be learnt with the 2 tomoe as Sasuke said in episode 200, the user can’t completely
read their opponents movements with it and also, it would have been much cooler
to have Sarada evolve her Sharingan to 3 tomoe in this battle just as Sasuke did in
his battle with Naruto in part 1. What do you think?
9). I’ve got to hand it to Boruto. His battle awareness is commendable. He was quick
to realize that Kawaki & Sarada were cooking up a planned counterattack and
immediately acted accordingly By rallying Kawaki & Mitsuki in a swift frontal attack,
he succeeded in not only creating a much-needed distraction but at the same time,
bought enough time for Sarada to pull off the Chidori surprise.

10). Now here’s something many missed. Sarada’s Chidori attack was super cool and
all but the producers messed everything up by adding a familiar line known to Sakura
that wasn’t there in the Manga. This statement “Boruto & Mitsuki are always saving
me. I’m pathetic” is actually false as Sarada is very much different from Sakura with
regards to the role both played in their respective teams at the same age. It seems
as though the producers were trying to make Sarada weak to appear strong with the
Chidori Not only has Sarada saved her teammates on various occasions, but she’s also
literally lead them That said, the last I looked, 12yr old Sakura never did any of those
things So, it’s very wrong to portray Sarada in the same position as her mother. Using
the Chidori in this situation wasn’t because she was always weak from the beginning
and wanted to make a difference as Sakura did against the 10 tails clones during the
war, but because it was of utmost necessity that she used it to save her teammates.
There’s a clear disparity there.
11). Boro made a huge mistake by believing Delta’s statement and thinking Boruto’s
Kama wasn’t “special”. Deliberately trying to weaken Boruto by making him exhaust
his Chakra only proved disastrous as Momoshiki was unleashed instead His death is
assured as Momoshiki will surely obliterate him in the next episode Can’t wait to see
what transpires in future episodes.
