What happened last week?

Thanks to Himawari’s luck, the Uzumaki family won a free stay at a hot springs resort outside of Konoha. After the family arrived at the resort, Boruto and Kawaki inspected the wooden statutes that decorated the establishment, awakening the ghost of an ancient warrior.

Boruto asked his family to join him for a game of ping pong, to which everyone agreed. Hinata and Naruto formed one team, while Boruto and Kawaki formed the other. Himawari acted as the referee and prevented her older brothers from fighting each other the whole time.

Later that day, the family had a nice time dining and talking together. As soon as they were done eating, they all went to relax in the hot springs, although Boruto and Kawaki stayed longer than the rest because they started to compete with each other once again.

At night, Boruto and Kawaki took part in a stamp hunt the owner of the Inn was running. Each stamp was near a creepy object with a hidden trick to scare people and make them believe they were real ghosts. Unfortunately for the brothers, an actual ghost was haunting them throughout the night, going as far as to cause them nightmares while they slept.

The next day, the family received a commemorative photo because Boruto and Kawaki were able to complete the hunt. Surprisingly, the photo had the warrior’s ghost just behind the brothers, terrifying the duo.

What can you expect from this new episode?

As previously mentioned, Mitsuki will be the protagonist of Boruto Episode 259. His cat has apparently gone missing and he wants it back at any cost. His friends will most likely help him figure out this mystery, as seen in the preview for the episode.

Regardless, a flutist girl will also have trouble during this new episode and Mitsuki will get involved with her at some point. We don't know what the girl is going through, but she appears to be suffering a lot.

After the last two great episodes the series has provided fans, we can only hope that Boruto Episode 259 will be able to keep up the streak of enjoyable stories. Although the plot does not seem to be too appealing at the moment, the episode could surprise us when it is finally released.
