Naruto Episode 72
An anime adaptation of Part II, produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, premiered on February 15, 2007, on TV Tokyo as Naruto: Shippuden (NARUTO -ナルト- 疾風伝, Naruto: Shippūden, literally, Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles). The episodes began airing immediately after the end of the original Naruto anime, which had been showing filler episodes to widen the plot gap between the anime and the manga.[5]
Naruto Episode 72
This week's installment is focused almost entirely on Mitsuki, even though he himself is barely present. It's a perfect way to frame a story about an enigmatic character, although the pacing is too relaxed, and certain parts of the episode feel padded. Still, no scene feels outright superfluous, and there's a steady amount of plot advancement in the second half. While the revelation about Mitsuki's parentage is more a shock to the characters than the viewers at this point, it's interesting to see the adults react to the news, with the room divided between giving him the benefit of the doubt and regarding him as an Orochimaru-level threat. It's easy to understand where Tsunade, Homura, and Koharu are coming from (even though the latter two have always been rather heartless), and in fairness, the evidence against Mitsuki seems pretty damning. For his part, Naruto is strangely quiet and abstains from speaking up in the boy's defense, perhaps second-guessing himself for putting his trust in someone as dangerous as Orochimaru. Boruto, of course, doesn't doubt his friend for a second, although Sarada takes a bit of convincing.
While the previous installment was essentially a prelude to the latest arc, episode 72 can best be described as an exercise in table-setting. Fortunately, the mystery it sets up seems intriguing, and if not for this show's inconsistent quality on the storytelling front, the show's forthcoming payoffs would almost be guaranteed to prove equally satisfying. The Leaf being on friendly terms with Orochimaru has always seemed like a rocky marriage of convenience, and the sheer weirdness of this arrangement finally being addressed paves the way for what could be a fascinating story. If history is any indication, both Mitsuki and his parent are likely to be vindicated when all is said and done, but hopefully the show will find an entertaining way to get us there.
This week's Boruto clears the deck for Team 7's latest adventure with a reasonably solid setup episode. Although Boruto and Sarada are now aware of Mitsuki's origins, their opinion of him largely remains unchanged. However, as more details about their teammate's mysterious past come to light, relationships may be put to the test in the coming weeks.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episode 72 picks up from the cliffhanger of the previous episode, which saw Bortuo's close comrade Mitsuki sneak out of Hidden Leaf village, while seemingly thrashing two guards on his way.
Well, the opening of episode 72 "Mitsuki's Will" reveals that what went down at the gate of Hidden Leaf was more complicated than Mitsuki simply taking out two guards: the young chunin had help - in the form of some new villain characters!
With the original Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden series, you are going to find yourself jumping around between the show and the various movies that have come along to accompany them. Start at the beginning and keep working your way through the first 101 episodes. Once there, the movies get mixed into the arcs, and below is where to slot them all in.
Much like the original series, start Naruto Shippuden from the beginning. But this time, you won't have as many episodes to get through before you run into your first movie break - 32 episodes to be precise.
The events of Boruto: Naruto The Movie are covered within the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations series during episodes 53-66. This means if you want to get up to speed with Boruto before the movie, we'd suggest only starting after episode 52, and then continuing onwards with the rest of the episodes, up to the very present. 041b061a72
