Watching Shippuden completely style over Boruto is a weird experience. This is one of the last times it'll happen too, especially for the period of an entire arc of Boruto.
This arc has been such a downer. It's literally one of those mid Hueco Mundo season long filler tier style writing about a group of jobbers no one should take seriously. Their ethos is garbage. Their powers suck. Their design is bad bleach filler tier. The seemingly nice guy going along with them for a terrible reason. Fake versions of better characters from OG Naruto.
At least they made non-canon™ OG Naruto canon, which is always nice.
Meanwhile Shippuden keeps the feels alive despite how silly this all turns out. At least Minato got a second career as the Eighth Gym Leader in Sinnoh.
