TV Tokyo in Japan will air the episode, and it will also be available on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, VRV, and Apple TV for worldwide viewers to watch simultaneously. Sasuke’s investigation of Kara took him closer to the Land of Redaku in the previous episode of Boruto, prompting him to think back on a similar situation from his past. In the flashback, the audience sees Naruto afflicted with an unknown illness. Sasuke goes to Redaku in quest of treatment, but instead, he uncovers a deeper mystery.
Fans are eager to watch Sasuke probe further into these riddles and find a solution for Naruto’s ailment in Boruto episode 283. In episode 283 of Boruto, Sakura will make her debut and assist Sasuke in his search for treatment for Naruto’s condition. In the promo for episode 283 of Boruto, titled “Sasuke Retsuden: Constellations,” it is shown that Sakura will be introduced. With her guidance, the Sasuke Retsuden Arc can find a treatment for Naruto’s ailment.
As Sasuke continues his investigation inside the Tartar prison centre in episode 283, he will be subjected to harsh treatment on the part of the guards. The dragon-beast Meno will confront him once more, and he will be grazed by the creature, dying from the venom on Meno’s claws. Sakura will come to his aid and cure him of the poison’s effects. Kakashi, meantime, will learn crucial details regarding the Sage of Six Paths’ ailment and its treatment. Sakura will pose as a doctor and sneak inside the Tartar Observatory to give the news to Sasuke that his mission has been altered.
She’ll let him know that in order to save their son Naruto, they need to track down “Maps of the Heavens” and collect the “Ultra particles.” In this episode, Tartar and Redaku’s secrets will be revealed, and the duo will have touching moments together.
Reviewing the prior Episode
It all started with a flashback of Sasuke’s time at Redaku, which he recalled while on the hunt for the Kara victims, in Boruto Episode 282, dubbed Sasuke Retsuden: Infiltration. In this memory, the Prime Minister of Redaku takes control of the kingdom when the King dies and a famine breaks out. In this episode, Sasuke discovered that the Sage Six Paths, whose medical records are housed in Redaku’s Tartar Observatory, had symptoms similar to Naruto’s mysterious ailment. Inmates were kept at the observatory and had to construct a huge telescope as part of their punishment.
To get the necessary documents, Sasuke faked an arrest and entered Tartar as a prisoner. Sasuke discovered that the Director of the Observatory, Zansul, was actually a puppet of the dragon beast Meno. Sasuke fought the beast and discovered it was impervious to genjutsu and has remarkable regenerative powers. It was also mentioned by Zansul that genjutsu is useless against him since his eyes are composed of glass. Sasuke was able to deduce from this that the future episode will reveal a greater mystery.
Concluding Ideas
Episode 282 marked the beginning of the Sasuke Retsuden Arc, and many were happy with its developments. Several readers of the Sasuke Retsuden light novel version were disappointed by the episode because of its brevity and the omission of key plot points.
If the anime studio adapts the manga faithfully and maintains a high standard of animation quality, the new arc will be favourably appreciated. Seeing Sakura and Sasuke reunite on TV after so long has fans anticipating Episode 283.
