The wait for Boruto Episode 294 might extend till late 2024 or early 2025. The first part of Boruto concluded on March 26, 2023, and the anime then went on a long hiatus. Fans were hoping that the series would be back by early 2024. Boruto has entertained fans for over six years. But it seems that Boruto episode 294 and onwards might not be out before 2025.
Boruto Episode 294 release date speculations
The production of new episodes has been severely impacted, and there are no immediate plans for the release of any new episodes. Some sources have speculated that episode 294 will be out by December 2023. But the new update suggests that Boruto’s hiatus will end by late 2024 or early 2025 only.
The next part promises to be an extensive journey, likely spanning more episodes than there are chapters. Interestingly, the Code Assault Arc took a different approach, featuring fewer episodes than its corresponding chapters.
Boruto Episode 294 Preview: How many episodes will the future arc adapt?
Ouga is poised to make a significant impact in the concluding chapters of Part 1. The thematic alignment and Ouga’s hint about meeting Boruto suggest a pivotal role. The final arc is estimated to unfold over 9–12 episodes, adapting approximately 10 chapters and including additional skipped content. However, given the arc’s numerous unanswered questions and the reactions of anime-only characters, the episode count might surpass initial predictions.
If collaboration btw Konoha & #Boruto
I don't even want to imagine what he's going to go through😓 – the shinobis throwing things at him, insulting him, their looks full of hatred, forbidding him from visiting his own house, trying to kill him…

The topic of time-skip training adds another layer to the narrative. While the manga leaves gaps in explaining techniques like Sarada’s Chidori and the awakening of the 3-tomoe Sharingan, the anime may step in with exclusive training scenes. The manga does touch on karma training, leaving some uncertainty about which training sequences will be exclusive to the anime.
The series will delve into societal changes and technological advancements across various villages, going beyond character development. These episodes promise to provide a broader perspective on the world and its evolution.
Considering the content from the novel and the final arc of Part 1 alone, we’re looking at around 17 episodes. However, despite the potential addition of new anime original arcs, a 2024 release on Crunchyroll seems improbable without compromising the quality.
The time break may be considered essential, especially at a time when many animators working for popular shows are complaining about long work hours and unpleasant working circumstances.
