“Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89 will, once again, feature a fighting scene; this time, focused on the main characters Boruto and Sarada. They will be facing Kirara, who is another synthetic human created by Lord Ku.
There is no doubt that Boruto and Sarada are some of the best ninjas-in-training from Hidden Leaf. But, they have surely not fought anything like Kirara, which makes “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89 even more interesting.
Kirara’s sweet girl appearance is a red herring and “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89 will definitely show why. The preview and synopsis for the upcoming episode confirm the synthetic human will not hold back on using her powers against Boruto and Sarada.
The two young ninjas of Hidden Leaf are seen holding swords and preparing to fight each other in the brief promo video for “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89. This is all the work of Kirara’s genjutsu.
Kirara’s ability is a sort of a mind-controlling power. She can make her opponents do whatever she imagines just by looking them in the eyes. This explains how Sarada and Boruto are going into a deathmatch against their will in “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89.
Even among her allies, Kirara is looked up to for her abilities and for the fact that they deem her powers cannot be stopped by anyone. So, the question for “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89 is who can distract her from executing her genjutsu and ultimately save Sarada and Boruto?
Reddit user u/LightReader543 suggests that Mitsuki would intervene to save Sarada and Boruto in “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89. This theory is logical considering the proximity between Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki. And it would also make for a good plot to reiterate that, at the end of the day, Team 7 members still got each other’s back.
It also sounds like a good build-up for what’s to come in episode 90, which synopsis indicates Mitsuki and Sekiei are going to fight after the latter is “shocked” of Mitsuki’s actions. “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” episode 89 will air on Sunday, Jan. 13.
