Was silently hoping for something like this to happen. It's probably the most overpowered sword of the seven, it's got to have some drawbacks. I liked that Samehada just ate him like it was no big deal. Ravenlot 27 wrote: Also, I'm wondering about the meaning of Boruto's brief Doujutsu activation during the Hiramekarei use (if it was some reaction on the sword's power or just a minor reminder for the audience that Boruto's Doujutsu is in no way forgotten). Seems to me that the eye reacts to the presence of great chakra.

He wants to declare war and make history yet he was on the verge to be overwhelmed by 2 academy students despite having a legendary sword that he wasn't even able to handle. Wasn't that a foregone conclusion though? We've seen what the Strongest Generation could do with those swords, and they got beaten by Kakashi's division. And Kakashi was the most famous/strongest ninja in that division. They were never seriously gonna win that war, even if Naruto and Sasuke died under mysterious circumstances.

Rather, it's fairly clear that these people didn't care about war or goals, they clearly just wanted to rampage.

While Sasuke was pretty fast and strong, we also saw during the Chunin exams that pre-sharingan/curse seal, he was pretty weak compared to the rest.

Boruto on the other hand, is more along the lines of a Neji.
