Here’s to hoping that the character development Osuka demonstrated in this episode sticks around in the upcoming installments. But Osuka stayed and even put her own life on the line in exchange for Himawari’s safety. Osuka could have run away while Himawari kept Big Bro busy.
And what about the Jonin keeping an eye on Kae outside the Ninja Academy? Where were they when she, Kawaki, and Batora were running around the village to find the girls? Hmmm.Īnyway, coming back to Osuka, I did like how she refused to leave Himawari alone. Also, why didn’t the police notify the Uzumaki family? I would have liked at least Boruto to appear to ensure his young sister was okay. I do feel that Osuka’s father should have also been present once the Hidden Leaf Police were called to the scene. Someone like Osuka, who already faced trouble making friends and didn’t get to see her parents as much as she would like, would equate getting rid of her favorite pudding with her mother not liking her anymore. I mean, we have to remember that we are dealing with kids here. After locating Osuka by using a drone that Osuka and Neon’s mothers (close childhood friends) had created together, Osuka’s mother shared that the reason she threw the pudding away was that it was expired. Osuka believed her mother hated her because she threw away a pudding that Osuka liked. The entire thing was revealed to be a misunderstanding. Fortunately, we got an explanation for why Osuka thought that way. I was kind of taken aback when Osuka told Himawari that her parents would never pay up to rescue her. Their sleuthing led to the viewers learning more about Osuka’s backstory, specifically her relationship with her famous parents. Her inexperience allowed Big Bro to gain an advantage even after she had dealt a powerful blow.Īs for Kawaki, we got to see him, Kae, and Batora trying to figure out what had happened to Himawari. But Himawari lacked actual combat experience even though she was able to activate her Byakugan. She’s been trained in the Gentle Fist style by Hinata and Hanabi. I knew she wasn’t going to win, but it was still fun to see her try. Himawari’s fight with Big Bro was enjoyable. Even though Naruto’s been working hard, alongside the rest of the Kages, to create a peaceful world, there were still a bunch of groups out there who wanted to cause trouble. Things turned a bit dark when he shared his plan to sell Himawari to someone who might hold a grudge against Naruto. I do feel that Himawari’s Talk-No Jutsu would have worked on her two kidnappers if Big Bro wasn’t adamant about going through with the current kidnapping job. She does have it in her to become a capable ninja down the line. And I liked how Himawari remained calm during a dangerous situation.
Of course, Naruto would forgive those two goons. Himawari trying to persuade the two men to let her and Osuka go and quickly apologizing to Naruto for forgiveness made for a nice moment. The comedic nature of their reaction when they realized they had also kidnapped Naruto’s daughter made me chuckle. It made sense that they would say yes to working with Big Bro due to their desperation to survive.
The two men had been down on their luck for a long time. I liked how the writers spent time developing Osuka’s backstory as well as providing an explanation about why the two goons agreed to kidnap her in the first place. Turns out, a rogue Genin-level ninja named Big Bro wanted to use Osuka to collect a lot of money from her super famous actor parents. However, Himawari got picked up by two goons because she was near Osuka, the real target. No one in their right mind would ever dare to kidnap Naruto’s children. One of the things I liked about ‘Himawari Kidnapped!’ was how the writers went about having her be kidnapped from outside the Ninja Academy. Neon, Osuka, and Himawari walking out of the Ninja Academy in ‘Himawari Kidnapped!’ (Screengrab: Boruto Anime Episode 266) Boruto anime episode 266, titled ‘Himawari Kidnapped!’, showed Naruto’s daughter getting abducted and having to experience her first proper battle with a considerable threat.
