Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 231 did not air last Sunday, on its regular release time, and it has been delayed for another week before it resumes on a weekly basis. The reason for it is finally revealed and it is a common practice in Japan to have anime series to take such a short hiatus.
The most recent release of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Episode 231, was missing during its regular Sunday release last January 2 and many have been wondering why it did not air on the said date. All year long, it has taken various breaks in between episodes but this time, the reason for the delay is one which is a usual habit in the anime industry: it is the New Year’s weekend in Japan.
This is not new to anime shows. Many titles have been postponed or delayed during this time of the year to give way to the celebration of the new year that has just arrived. Among the shows that took a break are One Piece and 86 Eighty-Six.
