EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 108 is the second chapter in the Steam Ninja Scrolls arc, following Episode 107's comedic Kiba-and-Tamaki conflict and continuing Mirai Sarutobi's escort mission with Might Guy. The arc serves as an extended character spotlight for Mirai, and this installment deepens her characterization while introducing new scenarios that build toward the arc's later, more consequential episodes. At roughly the one-third mark of the full 293-episode series, this stretch prioritizes world-building and legacy character development over main plot advancement.
