Keep this in mind, people: in an earlier episode, Katasuke was attacked by Urashi Otsutsuki. For all we know, he's acting like a douchebag because of Urashi's influence.

But yeah, this was better than in the movie and manga. You actually get to see Boruto's classmates' reactions to the whole cheating (the looks of anger, sadness and betrayal say it all) and how the crowd just jeers at Boruto for being a cheater. And then there's the looks on their faces when Katasuke calls Boruto his guinea pig.
