The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex storyline has been teasing several intriguing plot threads, with one of the most significant being the involvement of the Otsutsuki clan.
These celestial beings have been central to the Naruto franchise ever since Kaguya Otsutsuki’s introduction, and there are indications that two more members of this powerful clan will emerge in Boruto.
The Boruto manga has already hinted at the existence of two unnamed Otsutsuki who have yet to make an appearance.
Boruto Prepares for Battles with Otsutsuki
Given the pattern of Otsutsuki appearing in pairs, it’s highly likely that these two will be introduced in the series. However, the manga seems to be setting up their introduction in a more complex manner than initially expected.
One theory proposes that Shibai Otsutsuki arrived on Earth before Kaguya and Isshiki, intending to plant the first Chakra Tree. However, this plan was abandoned due to its catastrophic consequences for humanity. Shibai may have transcended to a new plane of existence instead of perishing like other Otsutsuki, explaining why Amado found his corpse.
Additionally, it’s speculated that Shibai’s second-in-command sacrificed themselves for unknown reasons, leading to Shibai’s descent into madness and his desire to rectify the situation. Shibai’s distinct attire and the absence of his sigil in Kara’s base further suggest his unique status within the clan.
This theory intertwines with another fan speculation that Amado could be Shibai, possibly attempting to resurrect his fallen subordinate. However, Amado’s involvement with Eida’s Omnipotence raises questions about his true motives and identity.
Furthermore, there’s a possibility that Shibai found redemption by transcending the physical form, leading to a different perspective compared to other Otsutsuki. His experiences, especially the loss of his subordinate, could shape his role in the story and potentially involve him in Boruto’s journey.
The missing two Otsutsuki in Boruto could indeed be Shibai and his unnamed subordinate, and their introduction promises to add depth and complexity to the series. Shibai’s unique backstory and potential redemption arc could offer new insights into the Otsutsuki clan and their interactions with humanity.
