by

Summary

  • Boruto: Two Blue Vortex expands Naruto lore with a powerful new jutsu, Rasengan Uzuhiko.
  • Rasengan is a strong keitai henka jutsu created by Minato Namikaze for Kushina Uzumaki.
  • Rasengan Uzuhiko adds planetary chakra for unlimited power, created by Boruto Uzumaki in Boruto series.

While some longtime Naruto fans might not find Boruto as appealing as they’d hoped, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex skillfully broadens the universe’s backstory and presents captivating new ninja techniques, hinting at further intriguing developments ahead.

The Rasengan is known as one of the strongest shape transformation techniques in the Naruto series, and the anime Boruto: Two Blue Vortex presents a more potent version called the Rasengan Uzuhiko. This advanced form of the Rasengan harnesses an immense amount of power through “planetary chakra”. You may wonder how the Rasengan Uzuhiko came to be and what sets it apart from its standard counterpart.

Two Blue Vortex, which makes use of planetary chakra to increase its power significantly. However, the specifics behind the creation and differences between these two techniques remain to be explored further in the series.

What’s The Difference Between Rasengan And Rasengan Uzuhiko?

The Rasengan is a skill devised by Minato Namikaze, Naruto’s father, with the intention of empowering Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto’s mother, to effectively combat challenging adversaries. Given that Kushina was the jinchuriki (host) of the Nine-Tailed Beast, she frequently undertook arduous missions and faced significant risks. Seeking to develop a technique that would maximize her chakra reserves, Minato drew inspiration from the Tail Beast Ball.

Instead of many other jutsus, the Rasengan doesn’t involve any hand seals. Users instead concentrate chakra in the palms of their hands and transform it into a “chakra sphere.” This is a potent jutsu, stronger than Chidori, capable of inflicting significant damage. It is renowned as one of the most sophisticated techniques for shaping chakra (keitai henka).

Despite appearing simple because it doesn’t involve hand seals, mastering the Rasengan demands exceptional chakra control, making it quite challenging to grasp.

On the contrary, Rasengan Uzuhiko is a modified version of the Rasengan created by Naruto’s son Boruto. Unlike the original Rasengan that uses only his personal chakra, this variation incorporates “planetary chakra” as well.

What Exactly Is “Planetary Chakra”?

Planetary chakra, as its name implies, is energy that originates from planets – specifically, it’s the centrifugal force generated during a planet’s rotation. The effectiveness of this technique increases based on how much planetary chakra the user can accumulate. This addition not only broadens the potential, but also significantly enhances the power of Rasengan, potentially reaching an unlimited level (at least theoretically).

To harness the power for the Rasengan Uzuhiko technique, the user needs to stay grounded, meaning both feet must touch the earth (although advancements may allow for only one body part contact in future). This implies that the user cannot jump during the preparation phase, potentially putting them at a disadvantage. On the other hand, this move might be more secure when fighting in teams, as a teammate can offer support while the user prepares to strike.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the effectiveness of this method may decrease on planets with Divine Trees, since these trees gradually assimilate the planet’s energy over time. This process might not be perceptible to a typical human lifespan.

Who Can Use Rasengan Uzuhiko?

In the anime titled “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” Boruto was the character who devised a unique technique. So far, he’s been the only one to employ this skill, but there’s a chance that other characters might master it as the story progresses.

It’s intriguing to imagine a scenario where these two characters unleash their jutsu simultaneously. Given her new role as the jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, Himawari could potentially summon an extraordinarily powerful Rasengan, Uzuhiko. Moreover, characters equipped with the Sharingan like Sarada Uchiha may one day replicate this feat in the course of the narrative.
