What to expect from Boruto episode 289?

Boruto episode 289, titled Qualification, will be based on chapter 59, Knight, of the Boruto manga. The installment will resume with the story of Code arc, where episode 288 left off. The preview for episode 289 showed some of the episode's key events, further confirming that Eida’s little brother, Daemon, will be introduced in the next episode.

In the Boruto episode 289 preview, Kawaki seems to have an argument with Amado, and the situation gets heated up. Before that, the former explains how Code haunts him in his dreams. Amado also proposes the idea to Kawaki that Isshiki Otsutsuki’s Karma power can still be implemented on him if the latter wants.

Additionally, in Boruto episode 289, Eida and Code have a discussion on something, which could be related to releasing Daemon from the chamber. However, the two can also be seen discussing the plan regarding the attack on Konoha.

Recap of Boruto episode 288

Boruto episode 288 starts by showing that Code is unable to kill Eida due to falling into her charm. Eida later elaborated more about her power, where she can look into the past and present of anything, like a security camera. However, there's a catch - Eida can't see beyond her birth.

She also explained to Code why he couldn’t kill her, further mentioning that another power she possessed was the ability to make people fall under her spell. However, this power doesn’t apply to Otsutsuki and her blood relatives.

Eida also answers Code’s question about how he could make Amado lift his limiter so that he could use full power. She stated that she hates Amado for taking away her ability to make someone fall for her as a normal being. At this point, Eida became an ally of Code and agreed to help him.

On the other hand, Kawaki and Boruto fight each other to train themselves for the upcoming battle with Code. However, it seems like Kawaki still couldn’t cope with fighting without using Karma.
