The heart of Episode 88 is the high-stakes battle between and Kokuyo , the physically dominant Fabrication general. While Boruto and Sarada are forced to deal with the genjutsu-wielding Kirara, it falls to Shikadai, Inojin, and Cho-Cho to stop the powerhouse Kokuyo.
If you gave up on Boruto during the early slice-of-life arcs, Episode 88 is the moment you stop scoffing and start paying attention. While the dubbed performance brings a specific weight to the characters, the episode itself stands as a turning point for the series, marking the transition from "Naruto's annoying son" to "a shinobi with his own code."
