In the manga series ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’, Boruto, has exhibited a noticeable reluctance to utilize his Karma abilities. This became evident during his encounters with formidable adversaries like the evolved God Trees.
Despite the challenges posed by these powerful foes, Boruto refrained from relying on Karma and instead chose to confront them using his own inherent strengths and abilities.
One might assume that Boruto’s strategic withdrawal from the conflict was a prudent decision. However, it took the toad several attempts before it could persuade Boruto to retreat from the battle.
This clearly indicates that Boruto was determined to defeat the evolved God Trees, even at the risk of his own safety.
Given the perilous nature of the situation, Boruto could have resorted to utilizing his Karma abilities. However, his adamant refusal to do so suggests that he may be deliberately avoiding the use of Karma to prevent the Otsutsuki leader, Momoshiki, from gaining control over his body and mind.
Momoshiki’s Ongoing Threat and Boruto’s Struggle for Control
A fan theory circulating on Twitter, proposed by @k1k3art, suggests that Momoshiki Otsutsuki remains the most formidable threat to Boruto in the ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’ manga series.
Despite Boruto’s exponential growth in strength and power, there is a persistent risk that Momoshiki could seize control of Boruto’s body if certain conditions are met.
Fans are well aware that Momoshiki Otsutsuki has the ability to take over Boruto’s physical form if Boruto becomes unconscious, experiences immense pain, or willingly switches places with Momoshiki.
This potential for possession could be the driving force behind Boruto’s relentless pursuit of power and training, as he may be striving to become so strong that he never finds himself in a situation where any of these conditions are met.
While the fan theory suggests that Momoshiki could take control of Boruto if his Karma were to be activated, this claim appears to be inaccurate.
If this were the case, Momoshiki would not have repeatedly implored Boruto to voluntarily switch places with him. Instead, he could have forcibly activated Boruto’s Karma and taken control without Boruto’s consent.
This point is further substantiated by the final chapter of the ‘Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga, where Momoshiki forcibly activated Boruto’s Karma, demonstrating his ability to do so without Boruto’s willingness.
After Eida switched the positions of Boruto and Kawaki, Momoshiki likely hoped that Boruto would succumb to despair and relinquish his willpower.
This would have effectively allowed Momoshiki to seize control, as Boruto’s surrender of his mental fortitude would have been akin to granting Momoshiki permission to take over his body.
Unfortunately for the Otsutsuki, Boruto maintained his composure and exhibited an unwavering mindset, resisting Momoshiki’s attempts to break his spirit.
While this might seem like a positive development, it also means that Momoshiki could potentially gain control over Boruto if he were to ever experience a moment of weakness or a faltering mindset.
This revelation implies that, despite the trauma of having his life stolen from him, Boruto can never afford to indulge in feelings of despair or hopelessness, as such a lapse in mental fortitude could grant Momoshiki the opportunity to seize control.
Boruto’s Struggle with Emotional Suppression
Boruto’s adoption of a demeanor akin to Sasuke’s, characterized by a pervasive indifference in the face of adversity, may be a direct consequence of the need to maintain an unwavering mindset.
Such a persona serves as a shield, preventing Boruto from succumbing to the weight of his circumstances and allowing Momoshiki to exploit any moments of weakness.
However, this stoic approach to life’s challenges carries its own risks. Boruto’s attempts to suppress his emotions and maintain an unshakable resolve could eventually prove unsustainable.
The constant effort to hold back his true feelings and experiences may one day boil over, potentially leading Boruto down a path of depression and despair.
Should such a scenario unfold, where Boruto’s mental fortitude falters under the weight of his emotional burdens, Momoshiki could seize the opportunity to gain control over Boruto’s consciousness.
Given the possibility that the time-skip version of Boruto may possess far greater strength than Momoshiki himself, the combination of Momoshiki’s influence and the power boost provided by Karma could render Boruto an unstoppable force.
