Ep 224 Sub Ita — Stai Guardando Boruto

Iwabe acts as a foil to Wasabi's pessimism. Drawing inspiration from Naruto, he believes that anyone—even those without a prestigious bloodline—can achieve greatness through sheer willpower.

Wasabi feels crushed by the expectations of the Izuno Clan, a group that has historically produced few high-ranking ninja. Her family expects her to become Hokage, a goal she finds unrealistic and overwhelming.

Wasabi eventually unleashes the Cat God Possession: Monster Cat Beckoning Jutsu , a secret clan technique she previously doubted existed. This powerful form allows her to save Iwabe from his own collapsing statue and secures her victory, though she is frustrated by how the win was achieved.
