From what he had mentioned, watching the sunset while soaking in a hot spring with his grandfather did not make sense. Batta claimed to hail from the same region, and the hot springs being on the east side of the mountain made it possible to watch only the sunrise, not the sunset.The two returned to the main area and were greeted by Ouga and the other survivors, holding envelopes. The next game, Sum, promptly kicked off. All the survivors had numbers in their envelopes from 1 to 8. To pass, they needed to get a total of 7 by taking the numbers from other players. So, out of the eight, only five could mathematically survive.Batta found Fugou, and it came to light that he did not have any money, his company was bankrupt, and his wife and child were being held hostage. Enraged that he had lied, Batta began demanding money from him. Boruto episode 279 witnessed more deaths as both were murdered.Elsewhere, Boruto, Yatsume, Namua, and Shamo met up and were figuring out the best way to tackle the game. While walking through the barren land, they stumbled upon Batta and Fugou's corpses. Shortly after, Rokuro arrived at the scene as well. Boruto wanted his 6 card inexchange for the 2 and 3 he had stolen.Sekonds•~@sekonsoBoruto episode 279 was solid. Still keeping that writing consistent.

Rokuro lost it, claiming that each of them killing each other would bring the game to a close. In his words, he was exceeding what Ouga wanted. Boruto and Namua fought him off, but his jutsu was successful in turning Namua against Boruto.An intense battle ensued as Boruto took on Namua and Rokuro. Just before landing the final blow, Namua regained his senses and fought back against Rokuro's jutsu, who injured him severely. Boruto ended the fight by using a Rasengan on the rogue ninja.Luiz Paulo | Mitsuki 🛐@sousa_luizpauloOlha o que fizeram com o Mitsuki :(#BORUTO #Boruto279 #Mitsuki174Olha o que fizeram com o Mitsuki :(#BORUTO #Boruto279 #Mitsuki https://t.co/r8xIkLpupBDefeated, he revealed that he hadn't killed Batta and Fugou, rather it was most likely Kiseru.

Over the last couple of episodes, this has been recurring and keeping the community happy. It looks like producers are building upon the original Naruto and taking the sequel a step further.Having been introduced in just a few episodes, Batta has already become a favorite among fans. Her demise was something that left fans ruing and hoping that she wasn't actually dead. They even felt sorry for Fugou, who was struggling to survive so he could go back and save his family.Also, alongside Kiseru, fans were also suspecting Yatsume. They felt that her being a traitor was a possibility. There was a brief scene where she was looking down from atop with a kunai in hand, looking regretful.Matthew Dias@Nintendo_DiasAnother good episode from the current Boruto anime arc.Can't believe they really killed off Batta. I actually liked her character.Also what's gonna happen to the rich guy's family now?Also it looks like there's more outers besides Riseru in this arc.Another good episode from the current Boruto anime arc.Can't believe they really killed off Batta.

But the fact Batta and Fugou not killed by Rokuro, that means we still have Kiseru (the most suspected) and might be Yatsume.302After Boruto beat Rokuro, he still saves him because he doesn't want anyone got killed again in the game.

The two other characters, Batta, a fan favorite, and Fugou, biting the dust were highly unfortunate.With others through, Boruto was set to face Kiseru in what will most likely be an intense matchup. Also, Yatsume was now a suspect in Batta and Fugou's murders. If she is, it is still unclear why she cares so much for the blonde. Most probably this other group could be Kara members.
