Are we gonna skim over the fact that this episode (and the previous ones, though to a lesser extent) hinted that Mitsuki's working with Toneri? I'm more interested on how this will be developed than Boruto's whole "savior of the ninja world" prophecy thing. This could also be proof that Orochimaru constructed Mitsuki with the help of Toneri. Whether Toneri was aware or if Orochimaru got a sample unbeknown to him, we don't know.

It also gives new meaning to Mitsuki speaking about how Boruto is his sun. If he truly is created by tissue which was extracted from Toneri, then he is greatly linked with the Moon just like Toneri was.

I am also very excited about these new episodes. From the looks of it, the anime is gonna eventually take over the manga and you know what - for once, I hope it actually does. So far, the anime has proven to be superior to the manga in several aspects.
