Boruto Two Blue Vortex Manga Powers Up with Epic Surprises

Anyone who’s kept up with Boruto: Two Blue Vortex (Japanese: Boruto: Tū Burū Borutekkusu) knows this isn’t the ninja world you remember. The latest chapters have thrown the shinobi universe into chaos, and honestly, it’s exactly the shakeup the story needed. This fresh arc, picking up three years after the Omnipotence incident, takes the story in thrilling, intense directions - introducing dangerous new enemies, overpowered powers, and even darker dilemmas for Boruto and his friends. Want to see what everyone’s buzzing about? You can read the manga right now on Viz or Manga Plus.

Three Years Later and Nothing Is the Same

So, after that game-changing time skip, things are just… different. The Omnipotence jutsu flipped everyone’s memories, and suddenly Boruto - who’s always been a little misunderstood - ends up on everyone’s hit list for something he didn’t even do. Naruto and Hinata are missing in action, and the only ones not swept up by Eida’s memory trick are Sarada and Sumire. Boruto’s now a fugitive, dodging shinobi who used to be his allies, while the village he grew up in is hunting him. As Masashi Kishimoto himself put it,

“Sharing pain and [trying] to understand each other, that’s what my manga is ultimately all about.” - Masashi Kishimoto

But what really grabs your attention? These characters are NOT the kids we remember from early Boruto episodes. Boruto’s got this lone-wolf style now: long black coat, sword at his side, almost channeling Sasuke’s energy. Sarada’s new look is all attitude and confidence, like she’s ready to take on the world herself. And Himawari? She’s a total Hinata clone, in the best way. You can just tell everyone’s been through it, and the whole vibe is more serious, more grown-up, more real.

New Villains Make Everything Riskier

Remember when the biggest threat was a rogue ninja or a Kara cyborg? That’s old news. The real dangers in Two Blue Vortex are the God Trees - basically monsters with personalities, plans, and a real grudge against humanity. Jura, who’s become the big boss of the group, isn’t just a tank in battle: he’s smart, persuasive, and sometimes even cracks a joke while wiping out entire squads. But it’s not just about muscle for him. Jura’s got this obsession with understanding “love” and human emotions, watching how feelings drive people like Himawari, Sarada, and Kawaki to break their limits.

It’s actually pretty wild: in a recent chapter, Jura sits in the middle of a brawl and starts reading a book. Not just flexing his power, but making you realize he’s always two steps ahead, observing, thinking, and learning. Makes you wonder - can anyone beat him with brute force, or will someone have to outsmart him?

And then there’s Ryu, who brings total chaos to the desert battlefield, even pulling moves and trash talk that feel straight out of the old Akatsuki playbook. It’s brutal, it’s fast, and nobody even side characters is guaranteed plot armor anymore. Yodo’s shocking fate proved that in an instant.

Sarada Steps into the Spotlight

Fans have been asking for more Sarada for what feels like forever, and now she’s front and center. Her big moment comes when she awakens her Mangekyo Sharingan during the fight with Ryu. Finally, she gets to show off a power that matches her ambition - her new jutsu, Ohirume, is basically like creating black spheres with a strong gravitational pull she can control. She uses them to trap and destroy, with a level of ruthlessness Naruto would never have shown at her age.

Sarada’s not here to talk her enemies into friendship; she’s ready to end a threat if it means keeping her people safe. You see it in how quickly she deploys her new powers against Ryu - no hesitation, no mercy. It’s a different kind of strength than Naruto’s, and honestly, it’s refreshing to see a Hokage-in-training who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty for the right reasons.

The panels highlighting her Mangekyo moments mirror her old, more vulnerable days, but now there’s this mix of power and pressure. It’s clear: Sarada’s not just another Uchiha, she’s carving out her own legend.

Boruto Battles Alone - For Now

Another thing making this arc stand out is how Boruto handles himself without the usual “Momoshiki takes over” trope. After all that back-and-forth with the Otsutsuki inside him, Boruto’s gotten way better at handling his Karma mark. He’s fighting on his own terms, keeping Momoshiki at bay. But the tension is always there. Every time a fight gets too close, you get that sense - will Momoshiki break free again? Will he hijack Boruto’s body at the worst possible moment?

So far, Boruto’s been in control, but with monsters like Jura and these new God Trees around, it feels like only a matter of time until things boil over. The manga keeps teasing that a big comeback for Momoshiki could shake things up at any second.

Overpowered Characters Change the Game

If there’s one thing Two Blue Vortex is nailing, it’s showing that some new threats are just built different. Take Daemon - probably the most broken character in the manga right now. He’s got this Reflection shinjutsu that just bounces any attack with killing intent right back at the enemy. Doesn’t matter if you’re Boruto, Kawaki, Code - if you try to hit Daemon or even think about hurting Eida, you’re toast.

What’s really wild is that we haven’t even seen his full strength yet. Daemon’s just waiting for the right fight, and everyone’s got theories that his big showdown with Mamushi is coming up soon. All of this makes battles feel unpredictable - nobody is safe, and even the heroes can end up outclassed in a second.

Kawaki Unleashed, Promises and Betrayals

Kawaki finally gets to cut loose, thanks to Amado removing his limiters. He’s now pulling out all the Isshiki-style jutsu we saw in Boruto’s earlier days, but with his own spin. As Mikio Ikemoto reflected,

“Switching places with Kawaki allowed Boruto to shine as a protagonist, so I’m pretty happy with how that turned out.” - Mikio Ikemoto

He even channels an energy blast through his staff, surprising Jura, though it’s clear Jura’s still holding back. The crazy part? Even with Boruto and Kawaki teaming up, Jura barely breaks a sweat.

It’s not just power-ups, though. Boruto’s strategies are on point too. He uses a clever Flying Raijin move to escape and protect his team, proving he’s thinking three steps ahead even when outmatched.

You can feel the tension rising: will Kawaki actually be the one to keep his promise and defeat Jura? Or will the tide turn, leaving everyone scrambling for a new plan? And what will happen with Mamushi and Hidari’s next moves?
