Boruto’s last episode continued with the talk between team 7 and the Funato forces. Boruto had offered his own life for a chance at stopping the war, and Ikada was willing to listen to this idea. If Boruto got killed and his teammates did not react, Ikada would stop the conflict.

Sarada and Mitsuki were completely against the idea and tried to convince their friend to rethink about his choice. But the blonde ninja was determined to get his friend back and prevent any more deaths. He wanted to break the horrible cycle of violence and revenge that had afflicted both sides for a long time.

After our hero willingly jumped off the ship, Ikada understood he needed to break the cycle. He dived after his friend and saved him using his Sea Dragon for the first time. Kawaki took care of Araumi swiftly and without hesitation, finally ending the war.


What to expect from Boruto Episode 255?

The preview of Boruto Episode 255 revealed Ikada’s fate will be the central point of the episode. Team 7 will return to their home after their successful mission in the hidden Mist and Naruto will talk with his sons about what will happen to those who partake in the war, which does not seem pleasant.

Things are not looking good for Ikada as our protagonist appears to be distressed by the news his father had for him. He will try to change Chojuro’s mind and help Ikada avoid the terrible fate that is coming for him.

Kawaki will not be pleased by this decision, from what we can tell, as he appears to be fighting with his brother in a few scenes that are visible in the preview. Kawaki has been constantly arguing with his sibling during most of this arc as he is not a follower of the peaceful approach Team 7 has taken in this war.

We do not know much more about the episode, except for the fact that it will be the conclusion of the Funato War arc. Based on the descriptions we have, Episode 256 will deal with completely different topics.

We will have to wait until the episode releases this Sunday to learn about what will happen with Ikada and what will make the Uzumaki siblings clash once more.
