Boruto Two Blue Vortex: This May Explain How Thorn Soul Bulbs Work

Summary

  • Thorn Soul Bulbs are crucial for Human God Trees.
  • Thorn Soul Bulbs may hold genetic material and memories.
  • Boruto likely knows more about Shinju Clones than others.

The following article contains spoilers for Naruto and Boruto.

As a devoted Boruto fan, I’m absolutely thrilled about the enigmatic Thorn Soul Bulbs that have been unveiled in the thrilling narrative of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex”. Though their true nature is still shrouded in mystery, the Boruto community has been abuzz with theories regarding their function. With the Konoha ninjas now locked in a fierce battle against the Human God Trees (also known as Shinju Clones), I can’t wait for more insights on these intriguing Thorn Soul Bulbs to be unveiled!

Thorn Soul Bulbs Are The Core of Human God Trees

In the twelfth chapter of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” Thorn Soul Bulbs were first seen. These bulbs reside within every Shinju Clone, which were produced after Code utilized his Claw Mark during the Ten-Tails. This event led to the creation of soldiers known as Claw Grimes. However, from the remnants of the Ten-Tails emerged Jura, the commander of the Shinju Clones.

When a Claw Grime ingests a person, a small tree instantly grows, and within it, the consumed individual is trapped. This gives rise to a Human God Tree, which bears a likeness to the trapped person and retains their chakra imprint. Unlike Claw Grimes, these trees are sentient, and each one appears to have a specific target related to the person within the small tree.

It’s not much known about Thorn Soul Bulbs, yet they seem to manifest following the defeat of a Shinju clone. Boruto Uzumaki suggested that these bulbs hold the secret to reviving individuals like Sasuke Uchiha who have been assimilated by Claw Grime.

Thorn Soul Bulbs Could Be Like Chakra Fruits

The current leading idea is that Thorn Soul Bulbs share similarities with Chakra Fruits. Unlike the latter, which absorb chakra from all living creatures, these bulbs retain only the genetic material and chakra imprint of entities absorbed by Claw Grimes. In essence, they might be likened to the souls of those individuals, but given Naruto’s emphasis on scientific genetics, it is probable that the bulbs hold genetic matter. Human Tree Gods, apparently, possess feelings reminiscent of their originators, though their emotional expression differs significantly from humans.

It appears that the Human God Trees require the presence of their original creators to truly exist. Consequently, Thorn Soul Bulbs might serve as a connection between the Shinju Clones and the individuals they’ve absorbed. It’s plausible that the Shinju Clones are in pursuit of particular individuals, aiming to fully metamorphose into self-governing entities. This could explain why they view Code, their creator, as inferior.

Boruto Probably Knows More About Shinju Clones

In chapter 22 of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” it’s evident that Jura appears displeased that Boruto knows some fundamental details regarding the Shinju Clones. Earlier, it seemed Boruto was merely sharing basic knowledge to shield himself and others like Sarada Uchiha. However, it’s likely that Boruto has more insights about the Human God Trees and their Thorn Bulbs, given Koji may have disclosed additional information. Yet, it also appears Boruto remains cautious around Koji.

Based on your statement about Thorn Bulbs knowing a lot about Divine Trees, I would like to ask if you could explain why or how they have this knowledge. This question is meant to gain insight into the relationship between these two entities and their unique characteristics.

When Will Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 23 Be Out?

In the upcoming chapter of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” we can anticipate a fight between Boruto and Jura, possibly showcasing a fresh, potent technique. There’s speculation that Mitsuki might step in to shield Boruto, an action which could infuriate Kawaki upon learning about it. The chapter is set for release on June 19, 2025.
