One of the most interesting features of Masashi Kishimoto’s work is the way the animals were portrayed. They are essentially weapons used for ninja clashes, as in the case of summonses, or to maintain peace in the world, as in the case of the cercoteri. In Borutohowever, a controversy has arisen.
To ignite the controversy brought to life in an in-depth analysis of the CBR web portal is episode 229 of Boruto. During the episode, Team 5 arrives, along with Kawaki tasked with catching a panda, an endangered breed. What ensues is a true hunt for the beast that degenerates into chaos, physical altercations and brutal capture.
During the hunt the beastwho did no harm or threaten local citizens, Metal Lee uses his Taijutsu to corner him, Iwabei his Earth Art to trap him, and Denki his Electric Science Instruments to trap him stun him and finally capture him. But was such a sequence of scenes really necessary?
the consequence it conveys no positive message In fact, it initiates a practice that young people should steer clear of. Studio Pierrot could have replaced the boring, pointless panda hunt with a more appropriate and logical hunt for the bandit. It’s not the first time this has happened either. Team 15 also gets such a mission in Episode 49.
Also, in defense of the anime series, it must be said that Boruto always has took care of all the animals he encountered, as you can see from the tweet at the end of the article. Kawaki has also proven to be a nature lover, taking care of an abandoned dog in his first appearances and then a wounded wolf with the help of Himawari. Finally, by accepting the Nine-Tailed Fox as a brother, Naruto taught us that beasts walk treated with love and respect, and not as tools. And you, what do you think of this? In the new original saga, the Swords of the Mist join forces with Boruto.
Team 15 has been assigned their mission! You have to catch the animals that escaped from the Fire Park. Hanabi even lets the team handle it alone. #boruto pic.twitter.com/RvKeLzGdNf

Whenever I see an animal in the Boruto episode, I know I’m going to sleep. No offense but every Boruto episode that featured animals was sooo stuffy and boring
