I quite liked this week's episode, it certainly seems to be building up to the movie. Boruto's relationship with Himawari is sad but also great, and he's living up to his role as a big brother well.

By the look of things, it seems like there was a flashback to Boruto's last birthday? Kinda got me wondering how much time has passed in the series if Mitsuki was present at that birthday party.

I'm also curious as to how the White Zetsu stuck around since the war. After looking over Madara's use of the Infinite Tsukiyomi, I had interpret it as consisting of 2 separate jutsus: the genjutsu part (reflecting the Rinne Sharingan onto the moon, the infinite tsukiyomi itself) and the chakra collection/absorption part (when Madara used divine deep forest emergence on the world). But I'm not entirely sure how dispelling the Infinite Tsukiyomi had an effect on the zetsus, especially seeing as they survived Hagoromo and Hamura dispelling the first Infinite Tsukiyomi.

The main thing I'm curious about is why there are ruins that are supposedly linked to Kaguya in the first place. I mean, why did she even need them if she mainly stuck around the Land of Ancestors. Seeing as the ruins have only been discovered by the Hidden Leaf so far (as far as we're aware), it kinda makes me wonder whether the Land of Ancestors is somewhere within the current Hidden Leaf territory.

Also, if Kaguya's wiki says she's the former head of the Ōtsutsuki clan, I wonder why Momoshiki and Kinshiki were planning to head to Earth to begin with. If Kaguya had anticipated their attack then it makes sense that she was trying to amass an army (albeit a seemingly useless one), but if the current history hadn't come to be and Kaguya was still around on Earth by the time that Momoshiki and Kinshiki came for the god fruit, I wonder what would have become of that battle (there's probably a versus for it by now I imagine), and whether they just wanted to god fruit or if they had other motives.
