Recap of Boruto Episode 231
- This episode begins with a flashback where we can see Tsubaki training with a very skilled samurai called Sazanka.
- Sazanka’s goal is to one day wield Lord Mifune‘s legendary sword Kurosawa. But things drastically change for Sazanka when he faces Tsubaki during the Swordsmanship Tournament.
- In the present time, Tsubaki and her team are given the mission to track down a group of bandits targeting merchants. The team quickly figures out that they may be dealing with a samurai because one injured merchant starts acting up when he spots Tsubaki in the hospital room.
- We also get to witness Tsubaki’s conflicted emotions when it’s revealed that the samurai they’re dealing with is Sazanka.
- In the past, because she won the battle by chance and also because of her competitive nature, Tsubaki blamed herself for the fact that Sazanka went on to stray from the path of samurai and focused only on gaining power, even if it involved killing many people along the way.
- This guilt leads to Tsubaki not even being able to draw her sword against him.
- She also knows that he’s stronger than her so her resolve is not firm and her movements are very inhibited .
- Tsubaki has undergone much character growth ever since she arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village. By becoming a teammate of Wasabi and Namida, she gradually started seeing the importance of trust and friendship. This makes her realize that she doesn’t have to bear her pain alone. She now has her friends by her side.
- Wasabi also gives Tsubaki a much-needed pep talk to help her realize she can’t blame herself for Sazanka’s terrible actions.
- His emotional issues and his decision to become power-hungry because he couldn’t keep his ego in check has nothing to do with Tsubaki.
- Tsubaki then ends up cutting Sazanka down despite the visible power gap between the two.
