As the title suggests, episode 122 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, titled "The Puppet Battle!", centers around a battle between puppets. The episode begins with Boruto and his team, who have been tasked with guarding a famous puppeteer named Chamaru, whom they are escorting to a festival.
On the way to the festival, they come across team Shinki, who has also been tasked with escorting a puppeteer, albeit a less famous one. It becomes clear that the two teams are competing to prove who has the better puppeteer and puppet.
As they continue on their journey, they are attacked by a group of bandits who are after Chamaru's puppets. In the ensuing chaos, both puppeteers are abducted, and Boruto and his team decide to split up to look for them.
Boruto and their squad arrive at an abandoned village where they find Chamaru's puppets, but are ambushed by the bandits. In the fight that follows, it becomes clear that the bandits have also stolen Shinki's puppet, and are using it against them. It is here that Boruto discovers a new ability that he had not been able to perform previously, and this leads to a dramatic finish to the battle.
Overall, "The Puppet Battle!" is an action-packed episode with some interesting character development for Boruto and his team. The battle scenes are well choreographed, and the use of puppets as weapons adds a unique element to the fight sequences. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing Boruto's growth as a ninja and his newfound skills in battle.
