The episode continued with Code’s arrival in the Hidden Leaf, where he was confronted by Boruto and Kawaki. The fight against the remaining Kara member was taken to a new level, as Boruto found himself possessed by the spirit inside him, Momoshiki. The hand-to-hand combat between Boruto and Kawaki was some of the best animation that the series has seen to date.

However, the episode ended on a shocking and emotional cliffhanger. In an effort to stop Momoshiki, Boruto sacrificed his life, leaving Naruto devastated. While the cliffhanger was brutal, it was also balanced with sadness, and it is expected that the next episode will tackle the aftermath of this heartbreaking event.

Episode 293, which will be the final episode of Boruto until its return from hiatus, promises to bring some resolution to this cliffhanger. While it is uncertain when the series will return, fans are hopeful that the hiatus will allow the manga to produce a backlog of content for the anime to adapt in the future. Many are also looking forward to a potential time skip for the series, which could mark a new chapter in the story of our heroes.
