Is Boruto Wasting Mitsuki’s Insane Power in Two Blue Vortex? Fans Are Furious!

Summary

Mitsuki has been sidelined in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex with limited attention despite his latent powers.
The manga has shifted focus to new characters and threats, overshadowing Mitsuki’s role in the narrative.
Mitsuki’s potential as a significant character with close ties to Boruto and immense power remains untapped in Two Blue Vortex.

Regardless of its gradual monthly publication pace, the “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” manga has consistently broadened the storyline, as well as unveiling a fresh assortment of powers and personalities. Characters like Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada have been given a completely revamped set of enhancements and divine talents, but one character from the original trio is notably absent — Mitsuki.

In the original Boruto manga and even in Boruto Two Blue Vortex, Mitsuki, though part of Team 7, was not given much importance in the storyline. Unfortunately, this lack of prominence persists for him. He’s had a few shining moments but his influence on the overall plot is quite minimal. Some might argue that he has been fairly represented as a supporting character, but others believe Mitsuki could have a more significant role due to his hidden potential. This belief stems from his untapped powers.

In the anime version of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Mitsuki has received quite a bit of attention. However, this isn’t reflected in the manga adaptation as Mitsuki hasn’t had many significant moments there. This might be confusing for viewers who only watch the anime, as they may not realize that the manga doesn’t focus much on Mitsuki. While the anime has given Mitsuki chances to participate in major battles and even contributed to defeating several antagonists, the manga hasn’t provided Mitsuki with enough opportunities to stand out.

In the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga, the focus was predominantly on the Otsutsuki Clan members, Kara, and Kawaki’s introduction, leaving little space for secondary characters like Mitsuki to fully showcase their abilities. However, despite being part of some significant battles with Team 7, such as against Boro or initial encounters with Kara members like Ao, fans had hoped for more attention towards Mitsuki post-time skip. Regrettably, his importance seems to have diminished further in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex arc, leading viewers to question if his potential is being underutilized in the manga.

Mitsuki’s Role in Two Blue Vortex

Two Blue Vortex Has Shifted Focus Towards Other Characters

So far, only 20 chapters have been released for “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” and because of new adversarial forces dominating the plot, many characters haven’t received much focus. Mitsuki’s storyline is quite similar, as he has mainly played a minor role throughout the series. He was initially seen in the early chapters of “Two Blue Vortex” when he faced off against Boruto in an effort to defeat him. This encounter also marked the debut of Mitsuki using his new Sage Mode, a significant power-up that places him among the strongest characters within “Two Blue Vortex.

In summary, Mitsuki’s new power wasn’t fully explained and his role in the fight was brief, but he did participate in the battle against Ryu, the God Tree Clone. Besides these instances, Mitsuki has had minimal involvement in the manga, largely due to the focus on the Shinju and Omnipotence, leaving little space for secondary characters like him to appear.

Is Mitsuki Underutilized in the Narrative?

Mitsuki’s Has Fulfilled His Role As an Ancillary Character

In the storyline of “Boruto Two Blue Vortex,” Mitsuki may appear to have a lesser role compared to other characters. However, since Mitsuki is primarily a supporting character for Boruto’s main cast, it can be argued that he has fulfilled his intended purpose even though he might not have had a major impact yet.

In the story Two Blue Vortex, the main events revolve around Ada’s omnipotence and Code’s actions that created the God Tree Clones. So far, Mitsuki’s character hasn’t been central to advancing the plot. He did participate in the fight against Ryu, but it was more of a group effort, and his role in the manga has been relatively small. This minor role for Mitsuki is understandable since the current events don’t seem to be directly connected to him.

In the storyline of the manga, with the main plot revolving around Kawaki, Boruto, and the Shinju Clones conflict, Mitsuki’s character hasn’t had a chance to fully shine yet. However, he has been given opportunities to make an impact on the narrative. Although it might seem like his potential is being overlooked by being cast as a secondary character, it’s important to note that he’s not being underutilized in the manga. Instead, he’s effectively carrying out his role as a supporting character.

Why Mitsuki Should Have a More Central Role

Mitsuki’s Strength and Close Bond With Boruto Deems Him a Significant Character

In the storyline of “Two Blue Vortex”, Mitsuki hasn’t had much opportunity to truly stand out yet. Additionally, the plot hasn’t given him significant focus, instead treating him more like a supporting character at this point. However, it would be beneficial for the narrative to give Mitsuki a more prominent role for several reasons.

Firstly, Mitsuki is part of Team 7, and he was meant to parallel Sasuke’s role in the original Team 7. Unfortunately, his importance as a member of Team 7 and the original trio in Boruto has been overshadowed by other events.

In a symbolic sense, Boruto was like Mitsuki’s sun, helping to define their relationship at the start of “Boruto”. Their bond was characterized by loyalty and integrity, with Mitsuki being particularly drawn towards Boruto. However, the introduction of Omnipotence has caused a significant shift in this dynamic, as Mitsuki now sees Kawaki as his sun instead. This change in allegiance is apparent, as Mitsuki hesitated during his initial fight against Boruto in “Two Blue Vortex”, realizing that something wasn’t quite right. Despite recognizing that Boruto might not be the adversary and Kawaki not being his son, Mitsuki stands to lose a great deal in the Omnipotence situation, making it personally significant for him.

You’re the sun… shining directly upon my moon.

In the “Boruto Two Blue Vortex” manga, there’s been less focus on developing Mitsuki’s character, which seems like a missed opportunity. Moreover, it’s worth noting that Mitsuki is incredibly powerful, often outshining his teammates in “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations”. Interestingly, his strength has been further emphasized in “Two Blue Vortex”, particularly with the introduction of his Sage Mode which surpasses his earlier abilities. Given these powers and his close bond with Boruto, it would be beneficial to see Mitsuki play a more prominent role in the storyline, allowing his true potential to shine.
