While I was glad to see Salad win the battle, I have to say I felt sad for Chocho. Whether or not Salad will be able to actually kill Boruto (or at least try to), when the time comes, remains to be seen. Jiraiya also had to face his ex-students. Jiraiya and Tsunade had to face Orochimaru.
Salad facing Chocho was a necessary obstacle she needed to overcome to help her be ready to save Boruto down the line, even if it meant killing him in his Boroshiki form to protect the rest of the world.Ī ninja having to kill their friend or loved one to protect others isn’t anything new in this franchise. If Salad’s not capable of properly fighting her best friend during the Chunin Exams, how could she possibly stand up against a serious threat like Boroshiki out in the field? I liked how this episode incorporated a flashback featuring Sasuke asking Salad if she was prepared to do what was necessary to help Boruto if he lost control again and became Boroshiki. While she held back in the beginning and actually apologized to Chocho for hurting her, Chocho’s frustration regarding Salad not taking their fight seriously enough served as a reality check for the young Uchiha. Fighting Chocho allowed Salad to realize something very important. In my opinion, the writers struck the right balance between action and emotional scenes in the latest episode. And while I liked Sakura vs Ino due to the character development it offered, I understood where the fandom was coming from in wanting a more action-oriented episode especially after what happened last week.
While there was excitement in the air, certain fans were also worried about Salad vs Chocho being a rehash of Sakura vs Ino from Naruto. The Boruto fandom has been looking forward to watching ‘Showdown Between Best Friends’ ever since the promo material came out. However, the scenes involving Amado didn’t make sense to me. Chocho and Salad going all out in ‘Showdown Between Best Friends’ (Screengrab: Boruto anime episode 225) Boruto anime episode 225, ‘Showdown Between Best Friends’, offered a very enjoyable battle between Salad and Chocho.
