“Scientific Ninja Tools are allowed in the Chunin Exams” Denki: *My time has come*

Why didn’t I think this before?! Denki having Lightning Style makes perfect sense. But still, this was such a nice fight. Tsubaki should be shown more ngl

Tsubaki’s swordswomanship is a sight to see, especially using the scabbard as well. can’t wait to see her improve

I just love Tsubaki fighting style, this little samurai deserve more attention

Tsubaki: without the scientific ninja tools you can’t win Denki: And it became personal for me

Denki: *uses scientific ninja tools to win* Tsubaki: ''Years of academy training wasted!''

Its pretty cool that old man Mifune has techniques named after him.

Am I alone in thinking that Tsubaki is one of the best characters out of the students at the moment? From her design to her combat style and where she comes from, I just think she’s so awesome 💪🏿 Love Denki too though this fight was awesome and he’s come a long way from not even thinking about becoming a ninja to being the first on his team to become a chunin 💪🏿💪🏿

Denki is now Iron Man just like i predicted.

Really hope Tsubaki gets more screentime after this..would be dope to see more samurai representation in the series

Tsubaki is a really capable character, she even uses the scabbard as another weapon.

I have a great feeling that Tsubaki will be one crazy skilled sword user in the future

Regardless of him not being “good” at ninjutsu right now, I feel like he’s gonna become a powerful lightning style user and one of the ones who uses ninja tech and ninjutsu in a perfect balance

1:30 I love how she uses her scabbard! This is so damn satisfying! 😍

His suit made him do a decent sized Fireball jutsu. A jutsu that took Sasuke, an Uchiha and Indra reincarnate, a week to master. And Denki isn’t even a fire style specialist. The suit literally does the things for him.

i love the character design of tsubaki

This fight showed two extremes science vs tradition this was an absolute unique battle. Showing two juxtaposed perspectives of resolves.

The fact Denki won using his own ability instead of the tools he brought is really cool to me and made the fight even cooler than if he had won with them. Shows that he's not just grown mentally but physically (which was implied earlier in the arc).

Denki in the future:And that's how I met your mother😂

For anyone wandering what denki's armor did: His armor replicated the effects of the jutsu overdrive, it boosts speed and makes any kind of attack stronger, it also boosts the user's neurons, consequently boosting the user's reaction time and allowing them to analyze a situation faster, after his armor broke he managed to use the actual overdrive jutsu and used elekiter, an extremely op jutsu to finish the fight.

Denki relied on tools… but he ended it with his own strength. Badass fight

Tsubaki: Why do I here boss music? Denki: Lightning style overdrive jutsu!!!! Tony Stark: That’s my boy!!!!!!!

A lot of people didn't know but the Overdrive from the beginning of the fight was used by Denki's own chakra to speed up the weight of the exoskeleton as Katasuke himself said that he used the Raiton discharge on his own nervous system to increase its accuracy and speed (which nor the Raikage) so in the end he ran out of chakra, here's the answer that many haters said that the armor did everything by itself... 😒

Wanted denki to lose this fight so bad

Too many fans forget that Technology in Naruto has always existed: Orochimaru’s a scientist with numerous labatories, the cameras used for academy students for their ninja identification card when they graduate, the televisions, the damiyo used when communicating with one another & video cassette recorders, when Anko monitored the Sand Siblings easily crushing the Forest of Death, satellite dishes for for the damiyo when the damiyo needed to talk to the Akatsuki, the wireless radios Team 7 used to capture a cat before the Land of Waves arc. Kishimoto never designed the village/setting to be set in a certain location. That’s why in OG he had convenience stores and movies but not projectile weapons and vehicles. With Boruto, he and Kodachi wanted to reflect the more modern age and apply its technology with shinobi usage. The ninjas use the Ninja Tools and tech as a balance to enhance their skills, not rely on it as a crutch. That was the lesson Denki had to learn in the battle, something most of the Kara members didn’t, which led to their defeat. Boruto got in trouble for the first exams because the Scientific Ninja Tools weren’t ready for usage just yet and either way he was relying on them as a substitute to cope with his anxiety over failure. That’s how in the Ao fight he used the saber’s chakra draining weakness against Ao and beat him with his own ninja skills. A balance, not one over the other.

Tsubaki deserves to be a chunin. She's analytical, quick on her feet, can make on the spur of the moment decisions, level headed, and intelligent. She has both the combat skills and other skills needed to become a chunin. Denki is good and all but I feel like he is not yet chunin material. I mean, it's not like he could use scientific ninja tools in missions. But this entire chunin exams were like a competition. In og Naruto it didn't matter if you win or lose. You can have be as powerful as a jonin but as long as you don't have the other attributes necessary to become a chunin, then you won't get promoted to become a chunin.

Can't wait to Denji to use the technologic ninja art: Glock

Tsubaki messed with the motion detector the same way Killer Bee distracted Sasuke

This fight was interesting but I’m so mad we couldn’t see mitsuki vs boruto that fight would have been insane.

“If you’re nothing without the suit then you shouldn’t have it” -Tony Stark AKA Iron Man And thankfully, Denki proved he didn’t need the suit to win. He has my respect

1:28 tsubaki!! 😍😍😍 Wow she's really strong in taijutsu

We got a taste of it during the end of Naruto Shippuden, but now we get to see just why Samurai are genuinely on the same level as Shinobi Imagine what a top Samurai is like. Probably can cleave mountains

Tsubaki is so cute and small but she is also serious and strong. I love this character. Denki and Hoki are underrated, i hope this three have more screen time in the future.

Tsubaki: "Big man in a suit of armor… Take that away and what are you?" Denki: "Hmm… Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

Tsubaki kinda cold wont lie, hope to see more from her later

Would have loved a samurai character like Tsubaki being developed in the OG Naruto.

This episode taught me how OP ninja tech actually is

Denki's win solidifies what the purpose of Ninja Tools were (and Kara's weakness). Naruto & Kakashi wanted to improve the use of technology so in the case of future threats, there would be shinobi who can balance their own shinobi skills while using ninja tech to boost their jutsu, as long as they didn't solely rely on them. Compare Denki's battle to how all of Kara lost despite all of them being cyborgs with modified ninja tech in their bodies. Delta underestimated Naruto's chakra reverses and relying on her tech failed since it couldn't keep up. Boro thought his ninja tech with the core made him regenerate without issues and his virus was powerful but Mitsuki used his genetics and experience to develop an antivirus Sarada was able to use the Sharigan and Chidori to find and corrupt his body. Borushiki finished the fight against his uncontrolled state: but again, needed Naruto's chakra to finish him of. A real god was able to defeat one who called himself one. Jigen underestimated Kashin Koji, who summoned real flames instead of using chakra, getting burnt up after thinking he could use Karma to absorb anything Kashin threw, and was weakened thanks to Naruto and Sasuke being the only ones in the verse that could tire him. Victor lost thanks to Konohamaru and Mugino using pure genjutsu to expose his plans, Orochimaru and having stronger regeneration abilities, but equally the same naturally transformation and with more time and prowess thanks to his experiments. Deepa used an incomplete jutsu and pushed the limits of his defense the Carbon jutsu arnamented provided while Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki improved their abilities to be able to add power to the Compression Rasengan And Isshiki got so caught up in trying to survive after Baryon Naruto whooped the lifeforce out of him thanks to Kurama's sacrifice that Kawaki took advantage of his desperation and used a Shadow Clone, a mere jutsu to a god, to trick him in his final hour. In contrast, Denki came in with a plan using his SNT that he designed, realized in the middle of it that he needed to adapt when his opponent figured out his tech's weaknesses and won by using the tool as a diversion for a final attack with his own skills. And much like Baryon Mode using nuclear fission, he used intelligence to win. Don't use a metal blade against a lightning style user unless you have lightning style yourself. Ninja Tools are meant to help a ninja bridge the gap and prove their skills. The heroes have proven when they do, they can surpass their opponents who either underestimate them because they're "mere shinobi," or use ninja tech as a crutch. Technology is an asset, but it doesn't do the work for you, the ninja do. That's how Denki won.

Hands down the coolest character so far in Boruto is Tsubaki.

I like how Tsubaki respectfully only broke his armor and not his glasses

Tsubaki and Denki had pretty cool moments during this fight.

Honestly, Tsubaki and Denki are one of the best new gen side characters. And Denki with the scientific ninja tool was very cool tbh.

Sucking it Ninjutsu in Naruto: Train your Taijutsu and never stop training to eventually become a good ninja Sucking at Ninjutsu in Boruto: Just get yourself some stupid iron man suit and beat everyone else.

I thought Denki was a sad excuse of whatever he was doing, what was the point of being a ninja with this etc, but then the moment he did that lightning style on his own, I was applauding and I was so proud of him. It was so cool! P.s.litte Tsubaki was also very cute

Why couldn’t they show what happened at the end of the match? Denki’s EPIC Moment!

I was always curious on how samurai in the Naruto world fought, and while Tsubaki held back because of pride and personal reasons, seeing things like “Mifune style” and the straightforwardness of her moves was a treat.

Lee and Guy train day and night doing 1000 push and running and denki literally build exoskeleton armor that have motion sensors

A few years later... Tsudenki : Mom...Dad, how did the two of you meet? Both : Uhhh....maybe Grandpa Shikamaru can explain?

1:27-1:33 That entire sequence was smooth as hell 👌

This wasn’t the most Tsubaki could do. She definitely held back. I’m kinda glad Denki won though.

Denki suit is just beggining, we might see his future suit in Boruto. I like Denki similar like Tony Stark.. What an amazing character development, very impressive.

She’s like underrated

Go boruto keeps impressing us make us your fans im loving this so far. Im a true naruto fan so i want to see this new gen to be successful while still respecting the originals

Out of the past 4 matches in this exam, this was the one I enjoyed the most.

She was cooking

This fight was real bs the first time she hit someone with her sword it was a really big area attack that cut anything in her way if she did that now denki would immediately become sushi😂

Really liking Tsubaki and Denki is finally getting his time to shine.

I gotta say, that I was VERY impressed by watching this match. It’s like seeing two tool wielders duking it out for all of the marbles. One using a traditional sword, the other, scientific Shinobi enhancements. I really like this from start to finish! Especially with what Denki did at the end. Of course, I really wanted Tsubaki to win this one. * sigh * Hopefully her loss to Denki might help her improve on her own abilities. After all, if a Ninja can adapt to all situations and learn some new skills and techniques, shouldn’t samurai do the same thing too?

“No scientific Ninja tools” Denki is literally a humanoid

I feel like the person handling this channel is straight up crazy What the hell is that title??💀

People called this episode bad cuz Boruto and Mitsuki got disqualified fair and square, and also cuz they didn’t see them fight. They call these episodes fillers, and they’re the same ones complaining that the show doesn’t give other characters screen time. Boruto haters are funny atp

Tsubaki underestimated Denki and that was one the reasons why she lost . Denki also proved how much he's developed by using ninjutsu by himself instead of relying on the ninja tool . I was hoping Tsubaki would win but I'm still fine with Denki . Boruto and Mitsuki not fighting was disappointing but they might fight next episode even though they didn't show it in the preview

Denki uses scientific ninja tool in CE, Naruto: Yeah thats fine. Boruto uses scientific ninja tool in CE, Naruto: NO SON OF MINE!

Those two jabs, reverse punch and uppercut at the beginning were clean as fuq tho.

Denki went from getting bullied to being the bully. He has had some of the best character development in the whole show.

1:29 that reminds me of sasuke throwing his sword with his leg when he was fighting with momoshiki

As much as Denki is cool with his tools, it doesn't really display his ninja strength other than the chakra pool to sustain the suit Puppet users are different in the sense that in the end they are all manual control and the user themselves still have to use jutsu and everything to dodge and everything, only change is their main mode of attack While Denki main mode of attack is using the tech to overpower, like this show, once the suit is down, that's it, just a man, not a ninja, he became so vulnerable It be more amazing if he created tools where he could essentially do in a sense like Batman, creating sophisticated tools while improving his personal strength But this scene just goes to show how even weak ninjas that can't go further can be pushed up with tech, so while being fodder, at least it not as susceptible and can put up some resistance depending on the tech But I don't like that it kind of did Denki dirty just to show a point how tech can make up for some level of strength

This is basically traditional fighting style vs modern technology. Like Iron man and Captain America

This Tsubaki totally forgot to use that Tornado move...That move could settle the match in a snap :/

bro can we take a moment to realize that denk was the absolute chad this episode

Fighting with sword and sheath. Ikkaku Madarame would be proud. 🥲

The taijutsu in Boruto is very impressive

Tsubaki also learned a valuable lesson. Never underestimate anyone!👍🏾

So proud of denki he is the rock lee of this generation using his talent and hard work and surprise everyone with the results of his training

Let’s Go, every Chunin Fight got 1 mil views! ❤️

Cool to see some samurai action, it was heavily underutilized in the previous series.

Wow mifune style, that legendary samurai has a style named after him and she used it, thats fire

It was smart and creative to use lightning chakra to operate the suit

Man using the sheath like that, Ikkaku would be proud.

And that's how the strongest romances usually begin ^^

0:00 through 0:05 is fire

Actually pretty cool concept if they use it more. They should definitely start implementing the new technology to the fighting force, like for average ninja to become more powerful

I kind of want to see how some of these characters play in the new game coming 🤩🙏

Mifune style. Haven't seen that a name in a good min. I like when they put little call backs like that

Ngl that scabbard combo was clean. Tbh I wanted Tsubaki to win but I'm happy for Denki though

I love tsubaki she had a potential to be a shinobi samurai

Im gonna be honest, i dont think that Denki has to won there- i mean, yes, he did that objets by his self and used his chakra, but honestly i saw more potential on tsubaki than Denki (even when i really like Denki as a character)

Denki was more fitted to be a puppeteer with scientific tools made puppets.

Denki : "Can your foot make chidori like this 0:01 Sarada?"

I'm saying old denki wouldn't even have the balls to stand strong.. And this denki is surprisingly doing it

Tsubaki is so cute !!! With her height, pink outfit and the eyebrows! A little badass girl!

Sheath choreography is top notch i would love more of Tsubaki

I’m really only watching these episodes as a pass time while I smoke on Sunday mornings, but I’m always impressed by the animation.

Tsubaki: gets thrower across the wall Me: she really does have a cute scream!

Ah yess Hamon Vs Sword Breathing Technique

I wanted Tsubaki to win

I love the thumbnail lol the nerd whos cheating using science got what was coming to him

Just gonna say the animation they gave to those sword movements were smooth

Tony: If you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t have it.
