In the recent chapters of the Boruto manga, Eida used her ability called Omnipotence to reverse the positions of Boruto and Kawaki. This left readers curious about the extent of Eida’s powers.
To provide more clarity, the creators explained how Eida’s abilities function in the newly released spin-off manga Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Volume 1.
However, what truly caught fans’ attention was not the explanation of Eida’s powers itself. Rather, it was hinted within the explanation regarding the origins of the Naruto world that intrigued fans.
This new information has provided fans with another element to analyze and debate the power levels of different characters.
The explanation of Eida’s abilities took a backseat to this subtle worldbuilding reveal that opened up new discussions.
Fans are now pondering how this glimpse into the origins of this fictional universe could impact the power-scaling theory-crafting that was already prevalent in the fandom.
Mystery of Kami Otsutsuki and Its Impact on the Narutoverse
The explanation of Eida’s powers provided background on their divine origins. Fans know Eida’s abilities were derived from the Otsutsuki God Shibai and his mastery of Shinjutsu.
However, the depiction seems to reference a different Otsutsuki deity not previously named in the story.
Rather than citing “Shibai”, the account calls this figure “Kami Otsutsuki”, meaning “Otsutsuki God”.
As described, this Kami Otsutsuki was once a godlike being in another world, now extinct. With his immense power, he could manifest any thought into reality.
Kami Otsutsuki is said to have created the current Naruto world and all its infinite possibilities.
So based on this, the Narutoverse universe fans know from the anime/manga originates from an Otsutsuki God. But his precise identity remains uncertain.
Is this the same as Shibai, or another deity entirely? Fans now have a new mystery to unfold.
Either way, this cosmological backstory adds another layer to consider when analyzing characters’ powers and the series’ power-scaling theories. The divine roots of this world open up new discussion.
Divine Connection Between Eida, Shibai, and Kami
The explanation reveals that the divine Shinjutsu abilities can only be wielded by Otsutsuki clan members.
This clarifies why Eida does not have conscious control over her powers, but rather manifests latent desires involuntarily.
Fans are left to assume the “Kami Otsutsuki” deity referred to is in fact Shibai, since Eida’s abilities stem from Shibai’s remains.
However, Shibai’s past as described by Amado does not fully align.
As explained previously, Shibai spent eons resurrecting himself via Karma and consuming Chakra Fruits, ultimately ascending to godly status in a higher dimensional plane.
He then willingly discarded his physical form to become a purely spiritual Otsutsuki God.
The accounts of Shibai’s origins and the Kami Otsutsuki do not completely match up.
So while Shibai seems the likely candidate for this god figure, uncertainties linger about their precise connection.
Nonetheless, grounding the Shinjutsu abilities and even the Naruto world itself in divine Otsutsuki origins provides plenty of new power-scaling insights for fans to theorize over.
Boruto Theory Suggests Otsutsuki Formed Naruto World
This new information introduces some inconsistencies with Shibai’s backstory. Amado has stated he used Shibai’s actual remains to grant Eida her Shinjutsu abilities.
So Shibai clearly had a physical form that existed in the current Naruto universe at some point.
Yet the explanation depicts the Kami Otsutsuki deity manifesting the creation of this universe in the distant past. So Shibai could not have been that initial godlike being.
This suggests there were two relevant Otsutsuki gods – one that manifested the Narutoverse itself, and Shibai who later sought to ascend to become an Otsutsuki God himself.
Perhaps Shibai only desired that divine status after learning such power was possible from the primordial god.
So while fans assumed Shibai was the outright most powerful force in this fictional world, this introduction of another potential Otsutsuki god shakes up that notion.
With the Narutoverse’s very origins steeped in godlike Otsutsuki’s with reality-bending abilities, this undoubtedly affects power-scaling theories.
Debates will rage on about how characters compare, with an even higher bar now set for “maximum power” in this universe.
