Boruto: The True Identity Of The New Shinju, Confirmed

As a long-time fan of Naruto and its spin-off series Boruto, I must say that the latest developments in the storyline have left me both intrigued and saddened at the same time. The introduction of the new Shinju, Ryu, has certainly shaken things up, especially considering Gaara’s defeat and the tragic fate of his adoptive son, Shinki.


This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14.

Key Takeaways

  • A new Shinju, named Ryu, is revealed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 14.
  • Ryu is the son of Gaara and Shinki, adding a new layer to the storyline.
  • The attack on Sunagakure by the Shinju explains the birth of the latest Shinju, creating tension.

In a thrilling turn of events, the fourteenth installment of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has been unveiled! The fervor among fans is palpable as they eagerly devour the latest chapter. Contrary to expectations, this chapter was not primarily action-packed nor did it disclose significant lore tidbits. Nevertheless, it effectively added depth to the captivating narrative, leaving fans in high anticipation for the even more exhilarating chapters that lie ahead.

In this latest installment of Boruto, one of the main points addressed was unraveling the enigma surrounding the new Shinju hinted at in the previous chapter. Readers had been anticipating that the Shinju from last month would play a significant role, and while the entire story didn’t revolve around him, we now know the identity of the Shinju’s owner and the specific circumstances under which it was created.

The New Shinju In Boruto Was Teased At The End Of The Last Chapter

  • A New Thorn Soul Bulb Emerged
  • A New Shinju Is Born

As we moved into the last chapter, a fresh Shinju appeared in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. This event transpired right after Boruto’s battle with the Shinju had ended. Just when Jura was about to eliminate Boruto, Matsuri completed her mission, and Mamushi contacted him, urging him to wrap up the Shinju procedure. Consequently, Boruto escaped death, and, according to Jura, he was remarkably fortunate. Jura then returned to their hideout, where a new bulb from the God Tree’s roots emerged, which turned out to be a new Shinju.

Now, what shall I name you? – Jura

If you’re not familiar, the Thorn Soul Bulb is the heart or core of the Shinju. To put it simply, it’s like the center or foundation upon which the Shinju is built. If this core gets damaged or destroyed, so does the Shinju. In the final page of our last chapter, we saw a new Thorn Soul Bulb being expelled, signifying that a new Shinju would be created in this manner.

Readers worldwide speculated on the identity of the new Shinju character, some suggesting it might be connected to Naruto due to its resemblance. This theory, if true, would undoubtedly add an extra layer of excitement to the narrative, as Naruto is synonymous with this franchise, and his involvement in the storyline would elevate it to even greater heights.

Contrary to expectations, the character identified as Shinju in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 14 turned out not to be Naruto, but rather an individual whom fans had previously speculated might take on this role.

Ryu Is Revealed To Be The New Shinju In Boruto

The New Shinju Is The Son Of Gaara, Shinki

In chapter 14 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it was unveiled that the newly presented Shinju was none other than Ryu. The name Ryu translates to ‘particle’ or ‘grain’, providing a significant clue about the identity of the Shinju. For those who didn’t pick up on this hint, the answer is Shinki. Recognized as a highly powerful Next Generation ninja from Hidden Sand, Shinki has played a crucial role in Boruto’s storyline, notably when he clashed with Boruto Uzumaki during the Chunin Exams, particularly in the anime adaptation.

How do you feel, Ryu? – Jura

In Chapter 14 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, viewers were thrilled as Kankuro reached out to Konoha, reporting that Sunagakure had been under attack by a Shinju. It seemed that Gaara was struggling to manage this menacing creature, and his adoptive son, Shinki, also attempted to lend assistance.

Although it’s not directly mentioned that Shinki became part of the God Tree, considering that the new shinju, named Ryu, originated from Shinki, we can reasonably infer that he was transformed into a tree after being bitten by a Claw Grime. This transformation led to the birth of his Shinju. From now on, Ryu will play a significant role.

The Attack On Sunagakure Explains That Latest Shinju

Gaara Has Already Been Defeated In Boruto

It’s regrettable that viewers missed out on witnessing Matsuri’s assault on Sunagakure from the Shinju in the Boruto series, as one of its main drawbacks is its limited focus on side characters. Imagine the thrill if fans had experienced Matsuri leading her own perspective during this attack, allowing them to see Gaara and Shinki defending the village and ultimately succumbing. Fans could have watched Gaara’s defeat and Shinki’s transformation into a God Tree simultaneously. This early event would have mirrored how Akatsuki overpowered Gaara at the start of Naruto Shippuden, adding an exciting twist to the storyline.

Unfortunately, fans missed out on the action, as they had to rely on information from another source instead – none other than Kankuro in this instance. However, there’s still a glimmer of anticipation, as the team might embark on a mission to aid Gaara and others, potentially broadening the Boruto universe even more.

It’s equally thrilling to imagine Gaara and his comrades participating in the escalating conflict against the Shinju, and discovering Kankuro’s role in the narrative. More importantly, viewers are aware that a new Shinju has joined their faction, making them an even greater danger from this point onwards.

Two Blue Vortex may offer some insight into the matter.

Unfortunately, this implies that readers must speculate about what unfolds next in the Boruto manga for another month or so. Here’s hoping that all the lingering questions are finally addressed in the upcoming chapter of the series. The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga has kicked off and is consistently improving with every new chapter. Now, the intrigue only deepens as the Shinju’s influence becomes stronger, heightening the tension.

Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of Boruto, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 15, is set to be October 20, 2024.
