In the new opening, we see a small sequence of Boruto fighting Shinki, evading his sand and sending some shadow clones at him.
This segment comes right after Boruto fighting Yudai, then Shikadai, his respective quarter finals and semi finals opponents in the Chunin Exams. Could this maybe mean then that they will be retconning things so Boruto beats Shikadai and gets to the finals before being exposed? I think it would make more sense given the way they've been setting Boruto up as this massively strong prodigy. Kote or not, I don't think he'd lose to Shikadai in a serious match given his anime feats so far. Not to mention, that would be quite the epic fight, and it would make Boruto being exposed even more dramatic if it happened after he won the tournament, and we'd be sure to get a proper idea of what Shinki can do.
On the other hand this does raise some questions. For one, we saw the final match in the chunin exams was supposed to be a three-way brawl. Is there a third part, Mitsuki or Sarada, fighting here and they're just not showing it because the focus is on Boruto? Or did something else result in a double elimination during the semi finals to make it so only Boruto and Shinki were fighting each other?
What do you guys think?
