Summary

The marriage rite between Kankitsu and Remon begins in Daidai village, the couple meant to sever the stone's horns to keep the spirit Soma sealed. Instead Kankitsu slashes the binding ropes, releasing it as Konohamaru and Boruto rush in. Soma manifests and strikes, shrugging off kunai, Boruto's Wind Release, and every physical blow, then passes through villagers to devour their memories. Konohamaru conjures two shadow clones and applies one of Hiruzen's seals, which only pins Soma down briefly, and the group flees the cave.

Key Events

A freed Kankitsu recounts how he fell under Soma's control. Remon reveals the spirit fears only Kuen's hair clip, which Konohamaru happens to carry, and resolves to seal Soma within her own body despite the memory loss it once cost Kuen. When the seal weakens, Konohamaru summons the monkey Enra, who transforms into a staff; using tags Boruto has planted, he casts the Adamantine Seal: Monkey Yang Suppression, but runs short on chakra and the seal shatters. Remon arrives with the hair clip and locks Soma inside herself, pleading for Konohamaru to cut the horns before her memories fade. Recalling their time together, he does, destroying Soma.

Notes

Remon wakes at home remembering nothing, not even her own identity, with Kankitsu and Asaki beside her. Konohamaru and Boruto depart without goodbyes. Kankitsu brings her a Lightning Burger lemon burger, which she enjoys while crying at its strange sense of nostalgia, and Boruto delivers one to Konohamaru atop Hiruzen's carving on the Hokage Rock. The episode closes the Konohamaru's Love arc.
