This week, Boruto officially caught up with the events of the original 2015 Boruto movie. Fans who watched that film definitely got an immediate sense of Deja Vú when sitting down to watch episode 54 of the anime, as it opened with its own version of the epic "Sasuke vs. Kinshiki" fight sequence that opened the movie, as well.

After seeing Sasuke's skills on display against the dreaded Otsutsuki clan again, episode 54 lived up to its title, "Sasuke and Boruto" by having the legendary shinobi take Naruto's son under his wing, and teach him some of the more powerful techniques of a true ninja warrior (the Rasengan). It's an exciting setup for the larger "Chunin Exams Arc", which is coming up fast, and will be a major game-changer for the series.

Needless to say, the full return of Sasuke in this new Boruto context has Naruto fans hyped! Check out the responses for Twitter:

Sasuke vs. Kinshiki - Supercut

First, watch this clip of Sasuke's big fight with Kinshiki, which one fan spliced together into one long sequence, using both the anime and movie footage. It's pretty sick, and goes to show just how well the anime excuted this sequence.
