The spoilers for chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, which is scheduled for release on August 21, 2024, have already been revealed. This latest installment has propelled the series to new heights, potentially making it the standout among other recently released works. The chapter also showcased Kashin Koji’s formidable future sight ability, hinting at the potential for a multiverse in the series.

The words of the protagonist now hold a deeper meaning, as he spoke of the current timeline being the only possible outcome of their battle.

Please note: The following article contains potential spoilers from chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex and is solely the author’s personal opinion.

Why does the foreshadowing in Boruto’s opening dialogue become clear after the reveal in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 13?

In chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, a shocking reveal was made about Kashin Koji’s jutsu technique, known as the ‘Ten Directions.’ This technique granted Kashin the ability to see all potential outcomes of a situation and determine the optimal one.

This technique was discovered as Shibai Otsutsuki neared death and was among the techniques in their arsenal. It served as evidence of the existence of multiple universes in the series, as Kashin Koji’s abilities revealed alternative timelines where the main character and their father had perished.

The death of Kawaki sparked all of these timelines, causing the protagonist to vow to prevent the event from occurring in the future.

This shift in perspective not only completely altered the series, but also shed light on certain encounters from the past. One notable example is the infamous opening scene in which the protagonist and Kawaki engage in a heated battle amidst the ruins of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The protagonist’s words to Kawaki strongly suggest that he may possess Kashin Koji’s future sight. Boruto admitted to being caught off guard by Kawaki’s determination to keep fighting. This could possibly indicate that, in a different timeline, Boruto witnessed himself defeating Kawaki at some point before the events shown in the opening scene.

In addition, the conversation that held significance after the truth was revealed was when Boruto asked Kawaki if there was any other way their destinies could have played out. In chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto expressed his determination to enlighten his brother, Kawaki, and restore the Uzumaki family to its former state.

The opening scene of the series is given a new perspective through his dialogue, as he expresses his regret over being unable to prevent any timeline in which he and Kawaki reconciled. Furthermore, he had to resort to violence against his brother in an attempt to reunite their family.

Reflections

The inclusion of multiverses in the series could potentially be a turning point that will determine the success or failure of the series, depending on the execution of the storyline by Kishimoto and Ikemoto.

A potential negative consequence of focusing the series solely on the concept of multiverses and making it overly complex could be detrimental. Thus, taking a balanced approach to incorporating the multiverse concept could potentially enhance the reputation and popularity of the series.
