Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 12
At first this week\u2019s episode of Boruto appears to be yet another filler fest, but ends with a glimmer of hope for next week\u2019s episode. This Mitsuki-focused story spends most of its time on some lazy character building, but wraps up with an answer to one of the show\u2019s most pressing questions: who is behind the ghost incidents?
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 12
By the end, we learn that Mitsuki\u2019s interest in Boruto was all a part of his personal investigation into the incidents. Once he decides he can trust Boruto with the results of his research, he reveals he knows the identity of the perpetrator. The show cuts off right before he names the person, but we can infer from the final shot he has deduced that it is Sumire, the class rep. After patiently waiting five or so episodes for some any plot reveal, it feels nice to have a vague answer, and hopefully a deeper explanation is coming within the next few episodes. Of course, this last minute reveal can\u2019t completely salvage an otherwise slow episode, but I for one am just thankful they didn\u2019t hold off another week.
I feel like I\u2019ve said this too many times over the course of these twelve episodes, but it finally feels like we are getting somewhere. It has been a long road but the identity of the ninja behind the ghost incidents has been all but revealed, and we appear to be all set up for an explosive encounter next week. The episode all this information is delivered via an episode that is a bit of a slog, but ends on a hopeful note that left me looking forward to the next episode for the first time in a long time. 041b061a72
