With the release of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, fans have been introduced to numerous new developments that have occurred during the time skip. One of the most surprising and talked-about revelations is Boruto Uzumaki’s new ninjutsu, Rasengan Uzuhiko.
This new technique was showcased when Boruto used it against Code, who invaded the Hidden Leaf Village with his Claw Grimes. The jutsu’s effects were startling, causing Code to lose his balance repeatedly and forcing him to retreat to find a solution.
How Does Rasengan Uzuhiko Work?
Since its introduction in the third chapter of the manga, fans have been speculating about the mechanics behind Rasengan Uzuhiko. Initially, there were various theories suggesting it might be linked to Sage Jutsu or Shadow Clone Jutsu. However, the official Naruto-Boruto franchise website recently provided a detailed explanation of how this new jutsu works.
According to the official explanation, Rasengan Uzuhiko is a novel form of Rasengan that harnesses the user’s chakra in conjunction with the planet’s rotation and orbit. This combination also takes into account the centrifugal and other forces generated by the planet’s movement.
When a target is hit by Rasengan Uzuhiko, they suffer the damage typical of a standard Rasengan. More uniquely, the target also loses their sense of balance, which is evident in the manga when Code, after being struck by the jutsu, is unable to stand and keeps falling despite multiple attempts.
The Deadly Nature of Rasengan Uzuhiko
Don't EVER compare Boruto to fodders this is absolutely insane 😭
Rasengan Uzuhiko not only uses the planet's rotation, but every corresponding force on the planet. And it will physically and psychologically destroy the victim for basically as long as Boruto wants pic.twitter.com/JzWny3aQlg

The lethal aspect of Rasengan Uzuhiko lies in its unceasing effect, much like the continuous rotation of a planet. The debilitating impact on the target’s balance does not fade, causing ongoing physical and psychological harm.
Boruto ominously stated that the effects would persist until the planet stopped rotating. While this suggests a theoretically possible end to the jutsu’s effect, it’s essentially a cryptic way to instill fear, as stopping a planet’s rotation is beyond human capability.
Boruto’s reference to the planetary energy used in Uzuhiko as the “planet’s chakra” differentiates it from the “nature energy” used in Sage Mode, as practiced by shinobi like Naruto and Mitsuki. This distinction confirms that Rasengan Uzuhiko is unrelated to Sage Mode, dispelling some earlier fan theories.
Future Clarifications and Developments
While the manga has clarified the basic workings of Rasengan Uzuhiko, fans are still eager to learn more about its creation and the deeper mechanics behind it. Given its unique and powerful nature, further explanations are expected in future chapters of the manga.
As Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to unfold, more details about this formidable jutsu and Boruto’s growth as a shinobi are anticipated.
Rasengan Uzuhiko stands out as a groundbreaking technique in the Boruto series, leveraging planetary forces to incapacitate opponents in a novel and fearsome way. Fans are excitedly awaiting further developments and explanations in the ongoing saga of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
