Episode 275's brief recap

Boruto episode 275 began with Mozu locking Yuki in a cage. She then explained her past to her son, about how she got lost in a forest and a marten provided her with warmth. In turn, she appeared on television for spotting the rare animal, making her famous, which is what awoke the hunger in her to trade rare animals. She eventually made a scarf of the very same marten, which she wore often.

At the other end, Boruto episode 275 showed Sasuke and Maruta returning with the Thousand Mile Hawk. Boruto briefed his sensei on the events that took place and Sasuke advised him not to force his sense of justice. The next day, Mozu locked Tsuzura in his room and was waiting to finalize a deal made for Yuki.

Fearing for his hawk, Tsuzura escaped his room and freed Yuki, but were soon spotted by the security chief. Mozu then instructed the chief's wolf to charge at her son. In the nick of time, Boruto and Sasuke appeared and dealt with it. After an exchange of words, Sasuke offered his new hawk in return for Tsuzura and Yuki's freedom.

However, when they took it in, the hawk collapsed. Sasuke had cleverly put it under a genjutsu. Waking up in Mozu's lab, the hawk flew around the compound, causing havoc and setting the animals free before returning to Sasuke. Mozu was left helpless as all the animals she had captured escaped. Meanwhile, Tsuzura was dropped off at Maruta's place, who agreed to take the child and his hawk in.

The episode ended with Sasuke stating that he was about to embark on a search to find Code, a member of Kara. Elsewhere on the Thunder Train home, Boruto dozed off and woke up in a strange room with other shinobi, who were on the same train.

Fans hyped as Sasuke sets off in search of Code

Boruto episode 275 had fans hyped for two major reasons; the first being that Boruto's dialog with Sasuke about choosing one's own path depicted how much he believed in Sarada's goal of making Hokage.

Being the son of the Seventh, Boruto was under pressure to live up to his father's standards. But he chose a different way and wanted to support the Hokage from the shadows, like Sasuke.

However, he also believed and strongly supported his teammate's goal of one day leading the village. Such a scene showed how much the young shinobi has matured.

The second and biggest reason Boruto episode 275 hyped fans was the mention of Code. At the end of the episode, Sasuke stated that he was setting off on a journey to search for someone named Code, the last surviving Kara member. This solely points to the fact that the much-awaited Code Arc is finally about to begin.

The animation for the anime seems to be getting better and better. The visuals, the scenes and the episodes as a whole are looking sharper and crisper than ever. The animation team truly deserves a round of applause for their efforts in making the show this much better.
