Episode 293 is a well-balanced, high-quality episode that masterfully ends the series while keeping fans excited for its return post-hiatus. Among several other noteworthy moments in this episode, Jōgan's reappearance is especially important to the future of the series.

In this episode, we see Jōgan activating for a moment in Boruto’s eyes, giving fans confirmation of it being authentic. This unique dojustu in the manga is featureless in appearance with a barely visible pupil. However, this Ōtsutsuki Clan dojutsu is much more visible in the anime, appearing light blue in color with the darkened sclera and visible pupil.

BORUTO WHAT A MOMENT! WHAT A SEASON FINALE! HOLY CRAP#boruto

The reappearance of Jōgan in this recent episode can be chalked up to the deeds of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, In episode 293, he saved Boruto's life by resuscitating him using the Karma. Momoshiki saved the young Uzumaki's life by reconstructing the cellular tissues he had lost due to Kawaki's attack. This, however, means that the Ōtsutsuki will never be able to resurrect himself ever again.

Momoshiki did this to save himself as the loss of his vessel would mean his soul getting instantly extinguished from the real world. Upon Boruto's jubilation at this news, Momoshiki reminded him that he is now a pure Ōtsutsuki, revealing that he is mature enough to be sacrificed to Ten-Tails.

This genetic reformation could also be the reason that the protagonist is able to activate Jōgan at the end of the episode. Seeing that the dojutsu is known only by Ōtsutsuki Clan, it makes sense that after his genetic reformation, the Uzumaki will also be able to use the dojutsu. This proves that he has become a pure Ōtsutsuki, making him a greater threat to Naruto and everyone else around him.

On Twitter, fans of the series are running wild right now, making bold claims such as episode 293 being the perfect ending for a shonen series. Some fans are even arguing that it's the best anime of 2023, surpassing other popular anime such as Buddy Daddies, One Piece, and Attack on Titan.

Both the BORUTO and Jougan hashtags are currently trending on Twitter, proving how impactful episode 293 was to fans worldwide. Here are a few fan reactions to Jōgan's reveal and what fans thought about the series finale in general.
