Boruto: Two Blue Vortexcontinues to be a hot topic among fans of the manga, especially after the release of chapter 22, titled “Jura.” As revealed, Boruto’s life is on the line after making the biggest mistake of heading into the Land of the Wind on impulse. Now, Boruto facesJura, the direct incarnation of the Ten-Tails, who wants to kill him, but is he really done for, as Kashin Koji saw?
UntilBoruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 22, Jura has some reasons that stop him from hunting and killing Boruto. He wanted to take things slow, as his hunger for intellect tops his desire to kill Boruto. However, after Boruto chooses to protect his friends, especially Konohamaru, from the Shinju Clones, Jura moves to the battlefield without hesitation, strongly determined to end him once and for all.
Boruto’s Mistake That Speeds Up Everything
The Price of Disobeying Kashin Koji’s Warnings
While some fans would argue that Boruto made the right call by rushing onto the battlefieldto rescue Konohamaru Sarutobi, Kashin Koji strongly warned him that it may be the biggest mistake of his life. With so much riding on Boruto’s shoulders, dying in the hands of Jura now would ruin all the years of hard work and sacrifice. After all, Boruto is the last thing they can’t afford to lose to change the course of the world based on prescience.
Before Boruto headed into the Land of the Wind and joined his friends, he was keeping a low profile alongsideKashin Koji. Jiraiya’s clonestrongly advised Boruto to sit out of the battle against Ryu and Matsuri, or else he would risk losing his life. Because Jura has shared senses with the Shinju Clones, he could instantly appear on the battlefield the moment Boruto makes his move.
“I believe you know this already Otsutsuki Boruto…But I have come here to kill you."—Jura
True enough, shortlyafter Boruto kills Matsuri, Jura makes his presence known by attacking with a miniature Biju Bomb sniper shot, which fortunately misses. This marks the beginning of Boruto’s first, possibly also the last, solo fight with Jura in Two Blue Vortex. This could also be the long-awaited fight that could define the Ryu and Matsuri arc. The stakes are high, but it seems like Boruto is already on the losing end due to his impulsive mistake.
Is It Too Late to Fix It?
Boruto Could Still Survive the Fight
Fans know that killing Boruto off of his own manga series seems impossible to happen. He has what fans love to call “main character plot armor,” after all. However, fans are also aware thatBoruto has been killed once, so there’s always a chance that he might die again, but this time, it might be for good. Still, it seems unlikely to happen considering he’s the only one who might have the fighting chance to defeat Jura.
“Boruto’s done for. Without a doubt."—Kashin Koji
Sarada is still unconscious fromusing the Mangekyo Sharingan: Ohirume, while Mitsuki clearly lacks the potential to stand toe-to-toe against Jura. He could buy time, but it would only be temporary. In addition, Naruto remains sealed in another dimension, while Sasuke is also missing in action after a Claw Grime consumed and turned him into a tree. Of all the characters inBoruto, Kawaki or Kashin Koji may be the only characters left who could potentially help Boruto at the moment.
One thing’s for sure, the succeeding chapters ofBoruto: Two Blue Vortexwill most definitely answer this question.
How Would Boruto Win Against Jura?
Predictions Explored
As Kashin Koji mentioned, Boruto has no chance of winning against Jura, not with the current sequence of events. If we literally took Kashin Koji’s words, then there’s a possibility that Boruto could win against Jura if only he could make his move at the perfect time. However, it’s too late for that now, as he’s in the middle of a kill-or-survive fight against Jura.
“There’s no way he can win, not with the current sequence of events."—Kashin Koji
Despite this, Boruto could still win, but with difficulty. First, he could unlock a new power, possiblythe long-speculated Jogan, which fans have been dying to see in the manga, changing the course of the fight. Second, Momoshiki could resurface and control Boruto’s body again after lying dormant for years. Third, someone could help him win, possibly Kawaki, whose limiters have been removed. If all these fail to happen, Boruto could still escape, possibly at the cost of someone’s life.
For now, all these possibilities remain theories as fans wait for the next chapter ofBoruto: Two Blue Vortex. What is certain is thatJura is a formidable villainwho means serious business and that Boruto’s life remains at risk.
