EPISODE CONTEXT

This episode follows directly from 'Ohnoki's Justice,' where Boruto confronted Ohnoki over his controversial decisions, and pivots from conflict to mentorship as both characters are forced into close quarters. It serves as the philosophical bridge leading into 'The Heart Stone,' where Boruto's journey of self-discovery and the lessons learned here are expected to be tested under pressure. As a filler entry in the broader Mitsuki Disappearance arc's orbit, it deepens character relationships without advancing the main plot significantly.
