‘Boruto’ Episode 70 Air Date, News & Spoilers: Ninja Technique for Curing Metal Lee’s Anxiety

“Boruto” Episode 70 will be airing soon, but for those who want to have some advanced knowledge before it does, there are some details worth discussing. The main one would be the subject of the episode, which is the anxiety that Metal Lee is feeling. In order to cure it, Might Guy will be making him learn the Eight Inner Gates, just like his father did.

As fans of “Naruto” will remember, Rock Lee used the gates technique to almost defeat Gaara during their Chunin exam. Unfortunately, his mastery of the technique was not there yet, so he ended up losing. In “Boruto” Episode 70, Metal will be taught by Rock’s former master on how to learn the gates, but for a completely different reason.

As The Anime Scrolls notes, Metal has issues with anxiety, causing him to stumble in terms of progressing with his training. He is a talented ninja, but his emotional instability is a major handicap. As such, Guy will be training him on the Eight Inner Gates in “Boruto” Episode 70 as a means of curing this anxiety in Metal. In terms of ninja technique uses, this is probably a new one.

More than the focus of the episode on what is likely to be a pivotal character in the show, what really has fans excited is the appearance of Guy himself, OtakuArt notes. A lot of fans remember the old ninja quite fondly, mostly because of his silly antics and because he is the premiere taijutsu user of his generation. This makes “Boruto” Episode 70 quite the nostalgia trip for old-time fans of “Naruto.”

“Boruto” Episode 70 will be airing on Aug. 23 and fans can view it via platforms like Crunchyroll. Viewers are advised to consume the content through official sources to help support the anime community.
