'Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' episodes that can safely be missed

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, just like its prequels, has filler episodes every now and then. Boruto fans do not have to worry about missing filler episodes since there is no jumbling of timelines. It is important for viewers to note that it is a completely different world compared to what was shown in Naruto. Yes, the show might be set in Konohagakure, but the villains, the power levels and the way the story progresses are quite different from Naruto.
