Since the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, the central theme has been deciphering Eida’s formidable Omnipotence ability. This saga has seen characters like Sarada and Sumire earnestly attempting to reveal the truth to key figures like Shikamaru and Amado, only to be met with disbelief and skepticism.
The crux of the matter lies in Eida’s ability to manipulate collective memories worldwide, leading individuals to trust their own recollections over any external evidence presented to them. This explains why Sarada’s efforts with a family photograph failed to sway others—they were simply too entrenched in their altered memories.
Despite this, questions persist about how Omnipotence managed to override visual evidence, particularly regarding the striking resemblance between Boruto and the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.
One would assume that a straightforward comparison of their faces should have instantly revealed their familial connection, yet this did not occur due to the insidious reach of Eida’s power.
Eida’s Omnipotence: The Challenge of Memory Manipulation
In Chapter Five of the manga, Sarada and Sumire discuss the pivotal moment when Amado comes to realize the truth. Sarada, previously attempting to use tangible evidence like the Uzumaki family photograph, was dismayed by the collective disbelief of those around her.
Amado’s breakthrough in deciphering Kawaki’s deception came through an analysis of karma data, which exposed a crucial switch in Boruto and Kawaki’s identities. This external evidence played a crucial role, hinting at a reality beyond the manipulated memories everyone else was trapped in.
Shikamaru’s own awakening to the situation occurred when he overheard Amado conversing with Sumire. Subsequently, he embarked on a journey of reevaluation, driven by external clues rather than his own recollections.
The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga must eventually address the glaring issue of why the truth about Boruto and Naruto’s relationship remained obscured despite their obvious physical similarities. Until this crucial point is clarified, the narrative surrounding Omnipotence risks being overshadowed by unresolved plot holes.
