The latest chapter of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” delivers one of the most surprising twists in the sequel series thus far. Not only does it conclude with a cliffhanger that leaves manga readers reeling, but it also provides shonen fans with a clearer picture of just how formidable the Seventh Hokage’s son has become in recent years.
While it was evident that Boruto Uzumaki had grown stronger since the events of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” many are taken aback by the extent of his newfound power.
Warning: If you haven’t read Chapter 9 of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” yet, proceed with caution as we’re about to get into major spoiler territory.
Boruto Uzumaki Glow up in Manga
As Konoha and the entire ninja world turn against Boruto due to Eida’s mind-control abilities, Naruto’s son finds himself in a unique situation that allows him to raise his power levels.
Secluded training sessions with both Sasuke Uchiha and Kashin Koji over the past three years have propelled Boruto to heights, surpassing many of his peers. In the latest chapter, he effortlessly defeats Kawaki, prompting the latter to question if Boruto had spent any time training at all during his absence.
Aside from his ability to easily best Kawaki, the latest installment also hints at a significant development regarding Boruto’s Karma.
The energy bestowed upon him as a vessel of the Otsutsuki seems to surge out of control when confronted with Kawaki’s Karma, suggesting that Boruto’s own power has grown to the point where his Karma poses a genuine threat to the ninja world.
However, the chapter’s revelations don’t stop there. Boruto’s sister, Himawari, shares a surprising encounter with a new manifestation of the Nine-Tailed Fox, implying that she may also inherit its legacy. If this holds true, Boruto could face formidable competition from his sister in the future, adding another layer of intrigue to the series.
