'Boruto' Episode 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 Spoilers: Seven Swordsmen of the Mist
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode spoilers have surfaced online. The leaked summaries are translations of episode teasers from the "Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine in Japan.
The episode titles below are roughly translated from Japanese, and the broadcast titles may differ. The summaries here use the Spiralling Sphere translations of the titles.
Episode 28 is called "A Declaration of War." The episode 28 air date is October 11. The story goes that Kagura Karatachi of the Hidden Mist Village is feeling inspired by Boruto's encouragement.
Kagura has long feared his own inner darkness, which is why he has been refusing to become one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. The Seven Swordsmen used to be a group of bloodthirsty warriors, but the present-day Swordsmen live peacefully in the village, notes Comicbook.com.
Kagura now wants to join the Swordsmen and inherit the legendary sword Hiramekarei from Chojuro, the Sixth Mizukage. But then Shizuma Hoshigaki confronts Kagura and Boruto and reveals his purpose. Shizuma wants to lead a new group of Seven Swordsmen of the Mist that will be as violent and brutal as it was in the past.
Episode 29 is "The New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!" It airs on October 18. Shizuma is able to secure the Demon Swords that had been locked up in a safe until Kagura opened it. Shizuma uses them to form the new Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Boruto and Sarada come to Kagura's aid.
Episode 30 is titled "Sharingan vs. Lighting Sword: Kiba," airing on October 25. Boruto and Sarada learn the location of the Seven Swordsmen gathering with the help of Chojuro. But Shizuma uses the power of the Crimson Mist Barrier to fill the area with a mist that obscures everyone's vision. The heroes are separated and get into one-on-one battles with the Swordsmen. Sarada fights the female ninja Buntan Kurosuki, who wields Kiba the Lightning Sword.
Episode 31 is simply titled "Boruto and Kagura." It airs on November 1. The leaked summary says that Boruto wants Kagura to come with him, but Kagura will not go. He even draws his sword toward Boruto.
This is speculation, but it could be that Shizuma has offered to make Kagura one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and Kagura has accepted, for some reason. The leaked summary says that Kagura has been under a spell, but it also says that Kagura should have been freed of its power over him.
Rather than a spell, Kagura may have been persuaded by something Shizuma said to him. The leaked summary says that Shizuma has lied to Kagura, and then someone new enters the battle. This could be Chojuro or someone else who can reveal Shizuma's deception.
Episode 32 is called "Souvenir Quest." No summary has surfaced as of yet, but it sounds like it might be a light-hearted episode. The episode 31 air date is November 8.
