As a long-time fan of the Naruto universe, I’ve been eagerly following Boruto’s journey and unraveling the mysteries behind this new generation of shinobi. With each chapter, my excitement grows as we delve deeper into the lore of this captivating world.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex keeps fans hooked monthly with thrilling chapters filled with intense battles and fresh insights. This month’s installment of Boruto was particularly noteworthy for several reasons. Alongside revealing Boruto Uzumaki’s latest combat skills, it delved profoundly into the Shinju, shedding light on their power and introducing intriguing new aspects to the audience.

In the twelfth episode of Boruto: Two Tails, Boruto Uzumaki encountered something fascinating for fans – the Thorn Soul Bulb. This appeared following Boruto’s confrontation with Hidari.

The Shinju And Their Core

The Shinju Are Created With the Chakra Source Of The Parent Body

In the initial part of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” the Shinju act as adversaries, showing immense power. This isn’t unexpected for fans, who are aware that they harbor significant hidden abilities. The Shinju originate from Code, who used his Claw Marks on the juvenile Ten-Tails under Isshiki’s control. Subsequently, the Ten-Tails were transformed into humanoid forms, and each developed its own consciousness. However, instead of staying put, they consumed nearby chakra sources repeatedly. Eventually, this process led to the birth of new beings with unique names, personalities, and objectives.

As a dedicated Boruto gamer, I’ve come across some formidable foes in my time, but nothing compares to the Shinju clones. In the recent “Two Blue Vortex” arc, these powerful beings made their presence known, leaving fans in awe of their mesmerizing abilities. To put it simply, they possess strength that surpasses most enemies we’ve encountered thus far in the series, with plenty more room for growth. Currently, there are four Shinju clones in Boruto: Bug, Matsuri, Hidari, and Jura. Among them, Hidari and Jura are believed to be the strongest, having already demonstrated their abilities in Konoha on multiple occasions.

The shocking aspect of these Shinju is not only that they’re not simple humanized forms of the Ten Tails or God Tree, but also that they adopt the features and abilities of the person absorbed by the tree. For example, Hidari closely resembles Sasuke in appearance and possesses many of his skills and strength. Likewise, Matsuri emerged from Moegi’s absorption by the tree, and her powers mirror those of Moegi herself. This discovery adds an intriguing dimension to the Shinju, and fans eagerly anticipate how they will impact the Boruto series.

The enigma surrounding the Shinju is undeniably captivating, yet a burning question among fans remains: How can defeating these beings restore those who were claimed by the Claw Grimes? Take Sasuke and Moegi for instance, they are just two of many who met this unfortunate fate, transformed into trees after being consumed by the Claw Grimes. To reverse this, Boruto has proposed the new concept of Thorn Soul Bulbs, an idea that is surely generating buzz among fans.

What Is The Thorn Soul Bulb?

The Thorn Soul Bulb Is The Core Of A Shinju

In the recent instalment of Boruto, fans were left in the dark about the nature of a Thorn Soul Bulb. All that was shown was its physical form, which emerged from Hidari’s body after Boruto used Maximum Output Uzumaki on him. Hidari’s upper torso remained alive, and Kawaki destroyed it, leading to the appearance of this bulb-like structure within Hidari’s body. The surface of this bulb bore the symbol of the Rinnegan, and Boruto named it the Thorn Soul Bulb.

After just a short while, Kashin Koji acknowledged that his observation was correct – he had engaged in a battle with a clone of the Shinju and managed to defeat it, allowing for the rescue of the genuine body using the Thorn Soul Bulb.

All I know is that the Thorn Soul Bulb is the key to saving old man Sasuke. – Boruto Uzumaki

Boruto emphasized that the Thorn Soul Bulb held the key to reviving Sasuke, a goal deeply significant to him. However, his plan was disrupted when Jura unexpectedly shot Boruto in the chest, followed by Sarada also getting hit and unable to reach the bulb. With a grim expression, Jura seized the bulb, leaving us to ponder if he will ultimately consume it in future Boruto chapters.

Despite this, it is understood by fans that the Thorn Soul Bulb plays a crucial role in reviving individuals absorbed by the Grimes. Effectively, the Thorn Soul Bulb is linked to the person themselves. It’s possible that the chakra and DNA of those who fall victim to the Claw Grimes are contained within this bulb. In essence, without the Thorn Soul Bulb, the Tentails would remain unchanged. This bulb holds their unique personality, chakra traits, and instincts, which the Grimes aim to take. In simpler terms, all of Sasuke’s characteristics – his personality and powers – are housed within the Thorn Soul Bulb.

How The Thorn Soul Bulb Can Save The Victims

The Throne Soul Bulb Is The Key To Saving Sasuke

Boruto Uzumaki stated that the Thorn Soul Bulb could potentially revive Sasuke Uchiha. This vital bulb may have been the reason for Boruto’s mission all along. The specifics of how the bulb would save someone remain unclear. A plausible assumption is that placing the bulb next to Sasuke’s body could restore his consciousness. Alternatively, it might be necessary to force-feed the bulb to him for him to regain awareness and be freed by the tree. At present, fans are uncertain about the exact mechanism of the bulb’s reviving abilities. However, it is certain that this bulb is crucial for saving those in peril.

It’s anticipated that Boruto will clarify the meaning of Thorn Soul Bulb in upcoming chapters. Currently, Jura possesses this bulb, implying he plans to safeguard it for Hidari’s revival or use it to boost his own strength by consuming it.

As a long-time fan of the Naruto series, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation as I wait for the next chapter of Boruto. Having followed the journeys of both Naruto and Boruto, I have come to appreciate the intricacies of their worlds and the depth of their characters.

Fans can easily access and read Boruto for free through official channels provided by Viz Media. Simply download the Shonen Jump or Manga Plus app and delve into the latest chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, with chapter 13 scheduled to drop on August 20, 2024.
