Alongside One Piece and Attack on Titan, Naruto will always be considered one of the greatest and fan-favorite anime. When the anime series ended in 2017, we were not ready to bid our goodbyes to Team Seven. Thankfully, Kishimoto and Ukyo Kodachi brought us the sequel to this iconic series by introducing us to Naruto’s son, Boruto. Now, if you are interested in reliving your Shinobi days with Naruto’s son, find out how to watch Boruto in the correct order.
How to Watch Boruto Arcs in Order
Like his dad’s journey, the Boruto series is split into two parts, namely Part 1: Boruto: Naruto’s Next Generations and Part 2: Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Unlike Naruto, the watch order for Boruto seasons can be slightly confusing as the series includes anime canon and manga canon episodes. To put it into simple terms, you need to watch both anime and manga canon to know all about the story and its characters. That said, let’s dive into the watch order for the two parts:
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Arcs in Order (2017 – 2023)
All the Boruto arc names where manga chapters haven’t been mentioned are Anime Canon episodes, which means they are not part of the original source. The rest of the arcs are Manga Canon episodes and adapt the first half of the manga.
That said, we have listed all the arcs in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations in the list below:
- Academy Entrance Arc (anime episodes: 1-15)

That marks the end of the first part of the Boruto series. The TV anime is yet to adapt the final arc of the first part, Omnipotence Arc, which will be coming soon. Now, let’s move on to the second half of Boruto.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Arcs in Order (2023 – )
Similar to how Naruto got his time-skip Shippuden series, his son has grown up and returned to the Leaf Village in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. The events in the second part of the Boruto manga are set after a time skip period of three years.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is only available as manga for now. There is still a long way to go for the Boruto time-skip in anime. Here is the arcs list in the second part of the Boruto:
- Boruto’s Return Arc (manga chapter: 1 – ongoing)
That’s a wrap to our complete guide of Boruto arcs list. As the second half of the Boruto series has just begun, we will keep updating this post once new information gets released. So, bookmark this page to stay up-to-date with new Boruto arcs in the manga and anime details.
The Boruto series is divided into two parts. The first part of the story has a total of 26 arcs and the second part has only one as of now as it has just started airing.
The Boruto’s Return Arc of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is the newest arc in the Boruto series so far.
Boruto anime does have a lot of fillers but not all the arcs mentioned here are fillers. You should watch the anime canon and manga canon episodes to understand the story completely.
