Visit Crunchyroll to watch Boruto Episode 166

The weekly Boruto episode recap is here and today, it’s Boruto Episode 166. Last week, we see Hiruga use Kinjutsu: Jigoku Messatsu, a forbidden technique that traps the user and their enemy in a tar-like smudge. Team 7 is trapped by this technique.

Fortunately, Hiruga then cancels the technique after Omoi said that Deepa is chasing Asaka. He then went after his twin brother. Boruto and the others are trailing behind him.

Is the fight against Deepa going to be exciting? See the Boruto Episode 166 recap here!

1. Deepa’s New Strength

In Boruto Episode 166, Deepa reveals his true power. The hardened body of Kara’s seventh member is the result of manipulating carbon. FYI, carbon is an element that you can find almost everywhere.

Thanks to this ability, Deepa can withstand any attack thanks to his hardened body. He can also control blocks of carbon - and throws it as fast as a bullet.

2. Victor’s Real Ability

Victor makes a surprise entrance. The old grandpa doesn’t appear in the manga, but we get to see him in Boruto Episode 166.

Fighting against Konohamaru and Mugino, Victor launched high-tiered lightning and wind release jutsu. His wind release jutsu creates a typhoon that separates the jonin and genin.

The old man also surprises everyone with his speed. Not to mention both of his arms are muscular.

Victor can kill the two jonin but instead, he left, saving Konohamaru and Mugino.

3. Useless Mist Shinobi

Hiruga went to chase Asaka and Team 7 trailers behind him. Their purpose is to defeat Deepa and both parties agreed to temporarily cease-fire.

Not too long after that, Deepa landed his attack on Hiruga and Asaka. Hiruga instantly died, but Asaka survived although he is bloodied.

Asaka then released his forbidden jutsu, Kinjutsu: Higanbana a technique from the Mist village that works like a suicide bomb. Deepa got hit but he is unaffected.

4. Mitsuki Used the Sage Mode Again

Mitsuki is arguably the strongest genin in Boruto because of his perfect Sage Mode. but Mitsuki is told that he is not allowed to use the technique because his body can’t take the burden.

It explains why Mitsuki rarely uses the mode even when his life is threatened. Then why did Orochimaru’s son use the Sage Mode now? Maybe it’s because the life of his closest friends is threatened. Mitsuki willingly sacrificed his body to save Boruto and Sarada.

Mitsuki used his Sage Mode to escape Deepa and save Sarada and Boruto instead of defeating Deepa.

Those are the 4 points of interest from Boruto Episode 166. Mitsuki’s sage mode finally makes a return. Unfortunately, we don’t see him fight with the sage mode. Well, it’s the most rational decision.

The preview of Boruto Episode 167 shows Boruto and Sarada in the hospital. Mitsuki is nowhere to be seen. The next episode maybe a dark episode.
