I think the entire fandom would agree that Houki came through during his battle with Inojin.
It’s always better for a ninja to enter a battle fully prepared. While Inojin tried to justify his lack of knowledge regarding his opponent by stating how ninjas don’t always know what they’re up against when operating in the field, I think he should have still asked around (including reaching out to Sai) to see if anyone could give him a hint about Houki’s skills. In contrast, Inojin had no intel on what Houki’s capable of. Houki, like the rest of the young ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village, knew about Inojin’s abilities. Such a secretive nature did play a role in Houki’s victory against Inojin. So, the team should always focus on completing missions and not worry about gaining glory. I liked how the episode gave us a quick flashback to Sai telling his team that unlike their peers they won’t be getting a lot of recognition because of the secretive nature of their missions. So, the fight between the two ninjas was going to answer whether or not Sai’s son was stronger than his student.ĭue to Sai’s three-person team being part of the ANBU, there’s a sense of mystery around them. Not only was I interested to see how much the two characters had grown as ninjas, but Houki’s also the student of Inojin’s father Sai. Houki’ was exciting on a number of levels. Houki’, gave viewers an exciting battle while also showing why Mitsuki and Boruto won’t likely be able to participate in the final round of the Chunin Exams.
