Boruto: Kishimoto Reveals Two Missing Otsutsuki Clan Members

As a longtime fan of the Naruto universe, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation when it comes to the mysterious Otsutsuki characters hinted at in Boruto chapter 35. Having grown up with the original series, I’ve come to appreciate the depth and complexity that these powerful beings bring to the story.

This article contains spoilers from The Boruto series.

The “Boruto” sequel series carries on the traditions established by “Naruto,” and despite some shortcomings, it’s been performing exceptionally well recently. With the arrival of “Two Blue Vortex,” the show is stronger than ever, and I hope it will maintain its momentum in the upcoming episodes. Naturally, when considering the diverse storylines involving Boruto’s crew, thoughts often turn to the Otsutsuki Clan.

In the anime “Boruto,” viewers have met several new members of the Otsutsuki Clan so far. However, it seems that there could be additional Otsutsuki members yet to come, and both the series author and creator, Kishimoto, have suggested their existence multiple times.

The Otsutsuki of The Boruto Series So Far

Boruto Has Seen The Introduction Of Many New Otsutsuki
Isshiki Posed A Strong Challenge For Naruto

As a dedicated fan, I must say that it’s been quite fascinating to see various members of the enigmatic Otsutsuki clan unfold in the Naruto universe, starting with Kinshiki and Momoshiki who made their debut in Boruto: Naruto the Movie. These characters were masterfully crafted by the legendary Kishimoto himself. Now, let me tell you, these two are quite contrasting; Kinshiki being the weaker one, while Momoshiki showcased a formidable strength.

Later, Boruto unveiled two new Otsutsuki characters, however, only one aligns with the manga’s narrative, and that character is none other than Isshiki. This individual was unmasked as the central adversary of the tale, and the confrontations between him and Naruto and Sasuke were met with immense fan enthusiasm. Fans discovered that Isshiki had been deceived by Kaguya and needed to be cautious in regaining his full strength. His strategy involved inhabiting Kawaki’s body and, ultimately, using this vessel to regenerate into his genuine form and even devour the chakra fruit to amplify his power. When contrasted with characters such as Kaguya and others, Isshiki stood out significantly.

In fact, it has been officially confirmed that Isshiki was senior and was most likely stronger in many ways than Kaguya. Everything about him was absolutely incredible and his strength was such that even Naruto and Sasuke put together could not defeat him. Of course, in order to defeat him, Naruto had to access a higher form of power, which came through Baryon Mode. Using the power of Baryon Mode, Naruto defeated him and finished things off. To the fans, this felt like the end of the Otsutsuki that was seen on planet Earth.

After Isshiki’s downfall, Kawaki harbored a different agenda. With Isshiki defeated, he aimed to purge the Otsutsuki clan, even his own brother, Boruto Uzumaki, suggesting that there are still members of the Otsutsuki clan present in the Boruto series. This intention has been hinted at by the author as early as chapter 35.

Kishimoto Hints At Two More Unknown Otsutsuki

Two More Otsutsuki Symbols Have Been Revealed

In the thrilling chapter 35 of Boruto, just before Naruto and Sasuke squared off against Jigen, I found myself in a stealthy mission similar to Sasuke’s. He had slipped into a dimension housing the Ten Tails, with the intention of catching Jigen off guard. As I moved around, I noticed emblems of the Otsutsuki Clan adorning the walls. The two uppermost symbols were distinctly recognizable as those belonging to Momoshiki and Kinshiki, their unique horn patterns etched into the stone. Kinshiki’s symbol was positioned on the wall’s base, towards the far left, while Momoshiki’s was strategically placed above him.

In the central part, two additional patterns emerged. One of these was identified as belonging to Isshiki Otsutsuki due to its distinctive horn-like pattern, while the one beneath him was none other than Kaguya’s. However, quite unexpectedly, there was another pair located to the right of this duo, and both of their symbols were completely obliterated. To this day, fans are yet to discover who these two characters are. It is strongly speculated that they will play significant roles in the future storyline of Boruto, given their hinted presence within the narrative and the author’s apparent intention to develop them into major antagonists as the series progresses.

In the manga, the author subtly introduced these two Otsutsuki characters without sparking any questions or concerns, primarily because Jigen posed a significant threat at that time. Upon re-reading the Boruto story, it becomes evident that these Otsutsuki characters will likely play crucial roles in future events. So far, Shibai Otsutsuki seems to be a strong candidate for one of these newly introduced monsters.

Will Another Otsutsuki Show Up In Boruto?

An Unnamed Otsutsuki Is Missing in Boruto

Readers are aware that Shibai is a character who will undoubtedly appear within the storyline of “Boruto”. He stands out as the strongest figure across the entire franchise, a claim supported by his transcendence to a divine state, having left his physical body behind. By consuming an immense number of chakra fruits, Shibai’s abilities have developed to the level of Shinjutsu, effectively granting him an existence beyond mortality. His powerful Jutsu make him the most formidable character ever seen in the series, which raises the possibility that he could be one of the two Otsutsuki characters hinted at in chapter 35.

It’s also worth noting that, alongside Shibai, there is another unseen Otsutsuki character from the Boruto series. This hidden Otsutsuki could make an appearance later on as a significant antagonist. In fact, it’s possible that Shibai may reappear too, playing a crucial role in the storyline at some point. If this happens, both Boruto and Kawaki would face a formidable villain together. Moreover, Naruto and Sasuke could potentially encounter this new enemy as well. Here’s hoping that fans will be pleased with the developments related to the Otsutsuki in future episodes!

You can access Boruto, the latest manga series, through Viz Media. Fans can read it officially and free of charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. The upcoming chapter of Boruto, titled “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17,” is scheduled to be released on December 20, 2024.
