Naruto's Boruto: Naruto Next Generations sequel has officially come to an end with the Boruto anime's newest episode, and has dropped an ominous tease about the infamous time skip with the final moments of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' midseries finale! Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' anime wrapped up the final moments of the Code Invasion arc with the promise that the anime will be returning for a Part 2 some time in the future. But it left fans definitely anxious over what could be coming next for Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki when the anime finally comes back in the future with new episodes.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 1 officially came to an end with Boruto Episode 294, and explored the intense fallout of everything that happened between Boruto and Kawaki in the last few episodes. As the anime gears up for its ominous future, we got a brief return to how it all began with a revisiting of the time skip sequence between Boruto and Kawaki that originally kicked off the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime nearly 300 episodes ago! Check it out as spotted by @Abdul_S17 on Twitter:
For those asking when is Boruto coming back with the new episodes, Part 2 has been announced but has yet to set a release date or window as of the initial announcement. It's likely going to be a while to give the Boruto manga more time to flesh out its events and even lead into this time skip, so Boruto anime fans will likely have to be a little patient before we get to see this time skip tease come to full fruition in the anime's future some day. 041b061a72
