Kishimoto Confirms Boruto’s Biggest Mistake—Can He Still Save Himself?

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.

Summary

  • Boruto’s impulsive decision leads to a life-threatening battle with Jura.
  • Jura’s reasons for holding back disappear as he becomes determined to kill Boruto.
  • Boruto’s survival hinges on unlocking new powers or receiving help from Kawaki or Kashin Koji.

The ongoing manga, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, remains a buzz among its fans, particularly post the release of chapter 22, “Jura.” In this latest installment, it’s been disclosed that Boruto finds himself in grave danger due to his hasty decision to venture into the Land of the Wind. Now, Boruto confronts Jura, who embodies the Ten-Tails and harbors a desire to eliminate him. However, is Boruto truly doomed as Kashin Koji suggests?

Up until chapter 22 of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” Jura refrained from hunting and killing Boruto due to certain reasons. His thirst for knowledge outweighed his desire to kill Boruto, causing him to proceed cautiously. However, when Boruto decided to shield his friends, particularly Konohamaru, from the Shinju Clones, Jura swiftly made his way onto the battlefield, resolved and determined to put an end to Boruto once and for all.

Boruto’s Mistake That Speeds Up Everything

The Price of Disobeying Kashin Koji’s Warnings

Some supporters believe Boruto made a wise decision by hastily charging onto the battlefield to save Konohamaru Sarutobi. However, Kashin Koji cautioned him that such a move could prove disastrous for his life. Given the immense importance placed on Boruto, perishing at Jura’s hands now would undo years of effort and sacrifice. Essentially, with so much riding on Boruto as a potential world-changer due to his unique abilities, losing him would be catastrophic.

Prior to Boruto embarking on the Land of the Wind and reuniting with his companions, he was staying out of sight alongside Kashin Koji. Jiraiya’s clone urged caution upon Boruto, suggesting he should avoid engaging in the fight against Ryu and Matsuri to prevent possible fatal consequences. Since Jura is connected to the Shinju Clones, he could instantly enter the battlefield as soon as Boruto takes action.

“I believe you know this already Otsutsuki Boruto…But I have come here to kill you.”—Jura

Indeed, following Boruto’s fatal strike against Matsuri, Jura suddenly emerges, launching a miniature Bijuu Bomb as a sniper shot – thankfully, it missed. This encounter marks Boruto’s initial, and potentially final, one-on-one battle with Jura within the Two Blue Vortex. This fight might just be the significant clash that shapes the storyline of Ryu and Matsuri. The tension is palpable, as it appears Boruto is already at a disadvantage due to his hasty error.

Is It Too Late to Fix It?

Boruto Could Still Survive the Fight

Fans understand that Boruto’s death from his own manga series appears extremely unlikely due to what they refer to as his “main character invincibility.” However, fans also recall an instance where Boruto was killed before, so there’s a possibility he could perish again, potentially for good. Yet, it seems improbable given that only Boruto seems capable of challenging Jura in combat.

“Boruto’s done for. Without a doubt.”—Kashin Koji

As a die-hard fan, I’m currently grappling with the fact that Sarada, after unleashing her Mangekyo Sharingan, is still unconscious (Ohirume). It’s evident that Mitsuki, despite his best efforts, can’t measure up to Jura in a direct confrontation. He might be able to stall, but it won’t last long. In the meantime, Naruto remains trapped in another dimension, and Sasuke has gone AWOL after being transformed into a tree by that Claw Grime.

In this challenging situation for Boruto, it seems like Kawaki or Kashin Koji could be the only characters from Boruto, who might have the potential to lend a helping hand right now.

Without a doubt, I can’t wait to find out what happens next in “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” as it’s bound to shed light on the mystery at hand.

How Would Boruto Win Against Jura?

Predictions Explored

According to Kashin Koji’s statement, it seems unlikely that Boruto will defeat Jura given the current circumstances. But if we interpret his words literally, there could be a slim chance for Boruto to win if he makes his move at just the right moment. Unfortunately, that opportunity appears to have passed as Boruto is currently engaged in a life-or-death battle against Jura.

“There’s no way he can win, not with the current sequence of events.”—Kashin Koji

In summary, though it might be tough, Boruto has a chance to emerge victorious. First, he might unveil a new ability, potentially the anticipated Jogan, that could flip the battle’s dynamics. Second, there’s a possibility that Momoshiki may reappear and commandeer Boruto’s body once more after a long absence. Third, Kawaki, whose limitations have been lifted, might intervene to secure Boruto’s triumph. If none of these scenarios play out, Boruto could still find a way to escape, albeit at a heavy price, potentially sacrificing someone’s life.

At present, all these potential scenarios are still considered theories as fans anxiously anticipate the next installment of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex“. However, it’s clear that Jura is a powerful antagonist with serious intentions, and Boruto continues to find himself in peril.
