SPOILER ALERT: BORUTO EPISODE 247 PREVIEW
Fans of the anime series Boruto have released a preview clip for episode 247 on social media, which reveals the episode’s title: “Kagura’s Sake.” According to Google Translate, the series’ official Japanese website has also published the TV caption teaser, which begins by claiming that “Bolts [Boruto] took considerable damage in the struggle with Ligia exotica troops [Funamushi].”
As a result of this, Araumi’s oldest son reveals to him that their adoptive son, Tenma, was killed in combat. Because of the loss of Tenma, the adopted son of his oldest son Isari, the father of his eldest daughter Seiren, “exploded his fury after his eldest daughter, Seiren, who was gravely injured in the conflict and drifted between life and death”
As one of the most popular animes in the world, Boruto is expected to draw a new audience this weekend. Since the latest episode aired, numerous sequences from Episode 246 have gone viral, with fans’meming’ the artwork for several situations.
However, it appears that many Boruto fans are not completely aware of the production challenges that the franchise is now experiencing, most notably the health of its animators. Animator who worked on those sequences was still suffering from COVID-19 and also had an injury to their arm, according to a now-viral post. Despite these difficulties, the production crew persisted in their efforts to complete the show and that particular episode. “I think we should be more appreciative rather than disparage the animators,” the author said. Haters are going to hate, and that’s a sad fact of life in any town. It’s not the worst anime because of one poor episode we’ve seen in YEARS.”
