This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Naruto New Generations.

In the anime series “Boruto,” Kara and its members, particularly the enigmatic Amado who leads the organization, play a crucial role in the storyline. Although Amado is the mastermind behind Kara, he also harbors secret intentions. Amado, shrouded in mystery, has been revealed to share a notable connection with one of his cyborg creations, Delta, which adds depth and intrigue to the narrative of “Boruto.

Delta is a dynamic figure, with her abilities and personality causing friction with Amado for much of their interaction. However, the surprising discovery of their connection catches both characters off guard. This unexpected twist could prove challenging for Amado’s character but also deepens the complexity of his portrayal even further.

Delta, known for her fierce demeanor and relentless thirst for action, is one of the most notable Inners alongside Kara. Her loyalty towards Jigen’s mission never wavered until the end, a commitment equaled only by Code’s fanatical devotion to Jigen. Although Delta played a significant part in advancing Kara’s objectives, the specific reasons for her allegiance to Jigen’s cause have often been shrouded in mystery.

Seems you’re just as much of a monster as me.

Although Delta always stood by Jigen’s beliefs, she never felt affection towards the other Inners, including Amado who was initially thought to be just a scientist for Kara. Even Delta harbored doubts about Amado when Jigen exposed that a traitor existed among the Inner ranks. As she frequently found herself at odds with most of the other members, Delta’s position within the organization appeared unusual. However, the revelation of Delta’s relationship with Amado clarifies these oddities in Boruto, offering insight into her role within Kara and explaining how she came to be a part of it in the beginning.

Delta’s Ties to Amado

Delta and Amado’s Ties Run Much Deeper Than Just Comrades

Delta is not just a fellow soldier alongside Amado; instead, their bond goes far beyond that. In truth, Delta is a genetic replica of Amado’s late daughter Akebi, retaining all her memories. When Akebi contracted an incurable illness, Amado dedicated himself to finding a cure. Unable to save his daughter, he chose instead to clone her and preserve her eternally. By digitizing Akebi’s memories and storing her brain data, Amado was ultimately successful in creating Delta.

Regardless of successfully creating a clone of his daughter, Amado encountered a significant challenge. Although the clone retained Akebi’s memories, it developed its own distinct character and individuality, starkly contrasting with Amado’s actual daughter. Given that the clone had become an independent entity, it was referred to as Delta, who later transformed into Kara’s formidable Inner. Delta’s persistent irritation and dislike for Amado have been evident since her debut in the Kawaki Arc. However, this tumultuous relationship between them adds intrigue to their bond, making it even more unnerving. The Boruto series hasn’t yet delved into the reasons behind Delta’s unique character, as she is essentially a genetic copy of Akebi.

Why Did Amado and Delta Join Kara?

Boruto: Delta's Connection to Amado, Explained

The unique bond between Amado and Delta raises questions about why these two individuals became part of Kara. For Amado, the main reason behind joining such an organization was due to a promise made by Jigen. Recognizing Amado’s talent in creating scientific ninja tools, Jigen aimed to enlist this genius, luring him with the prospect of reuniting him with his daughter. At first, Amado joined Kara for this specific purpose, but later uncovered Jigen’s true intent: to eliminate humanity entirely.

Delta’s affiliation with Kara is largely due to Amado, who engineered her to serve Jigen and his objectives. Regardless of having Akebi’s memories and DNA, she remains a cybernetic entity that Amado could easily manipulate her allegiances. Although Delta was designed to be loyal to Kara, she maintained her distinct identity, often leading to conflicts with other members of the organization.

Don’t worry Amado, everyone’s wishes will be granted… including yours, of course.

Konoha’s New Protector

Delta Has Pledged Her Loyalties to Konoha

Boruto: Delta's Connection to Amado, Explained

In the anime series, “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” Delta’s final scene fell short of expectation. In her attempt to obstruct Koji Kashin and Amado’s rebellion against Jigen, Delta was left powerless when Amado ordered her to deactivate. A conclusion like this seemed unsuitable for a character as significant as Delta, and this proved accurate when she resurfaced in the “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” manga.

This time around, it’s Delta who’s stepping into the picture, not as an adversary but as a friend. Being a clone of Amado’s daughter, she offers a unique opportunity for reprogramming, all under the skilled hands of the scientist himself. With her allegiance shifting towards the Hidden Leaf Village, Delta stands firm as a loyal ally to Konoha now. Though she remains fiery and independent, her loyalties have undeniably changed, and she’s dedicated to serving the people of Konoha with unwavering commitment.

Boruto is available to stream on Prime Video.
