The day of the first match is here and Inojin Yamanaka will take on Houki Taketori in "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" Episode 223. The new episode is titled "Inojin Vs Houki."

The official promo trailer of Episode 223 shows Houki and Inojin in action. Inojin can be seen using Super Beast Imitating Drawing to catch his opponent. However, Inojin remains unaware of what Houki is capable of.

Houki from Team 25 has been working closely with ANBU and it is likely he will use a few ground-breaking techniques against Inojin. Who will be the winner of this match?

Twitter user Abdul Zoldyck shared the preview of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" Episode 223 teasing Inojin’s signature move.

“The final examination begins and the first match is between Inojin and Houki of Team 25. As soon as the match begins, Inojin uses his signature technique Super Beast Imitating Drawing to hunt down Houki,” read the preview of Episode 223.

In Episode 222, Sai announced the final round will be a one-on-one battle and only the winners will get promoted to chunin.

Things got interesting because only half of the finalists will become chunin. Shikamaru noted in the final round, the participants will be judged on their ability to adapt to the situation and come up with a well-suited response.

To make it interesting, the opponent will be announced on the day of the match. Naruto suggested the participants can take a rest or train.

Meanwhile, Boruto wanted to show Naruto and everyone else how much he had improved since the last exam.
