The anticipation for the return of Boruto is palpable among fans eager to catch up with the latest episodes of this iconic series. The first part, consisting of 293 episodes, concluded a few months ago, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next instalment. Boruto Episode 294, marking the beginning of the second part, is currently in production, raising questions about what fans can expect in the upcoming episodes.
One burning question on everyone’s mind is whether the second part of Boruto will immediately plunge into the highly anticipated time skip. To answer this question, we must assess the extent to which the anime adaptation has covered the manga.
In the manga, the story progresses through chapters, and the anime often includes filler episodes not present in the manga. Up to Episode 293, the anime adapted manga Chapter 70, covering the Code’s Assault arc. However, the anime did not adapt Chapter 71, which is part of the same arc. Following Chapter 71, the prophecy arc begins and lasts until Chapter 80.
– NEWS🚨
The Prophecy Arc is Confirmed to be 7 Episodes Long.

The time skip in the manga starts only after Chapter 80. Therefore, it is unlikely that Boruto Episode 294 will begin with the time skip since nine chapters must be adapted beforehand. Skipping these chapters during the anime adaptation is not feasible. If the time skip is included, it might happen in Episodes 298–300 or beyond, requiring around 4-5 episodes to cover these chapters.
Boruto Episode 294 Release Date Speculations
Despite the eager anticipation, the release date for Boruto Part 2 remains unknown. Jump Festa 2024 did not provide any updates regarding the release date. However, fans can rest assured that production is in full swing, and an announcement about the release date is expected soon. As fans patiently await the return of Boruto, excitement builds for the new adventures and developments that the second part of the series is sure to bring. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated continuation of the Boruto saga.
