Boruto: Two Blue Vortex repeats the same mistakes of Next Generations with chapter 11, and it’s saddening

The internet has been abuzz with spoilers for chapter 11 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, which have surfaced a few hours before its scheduled release. These spoilers have provided fans with a glimpse of what they can anticipate in the next chapter. The manga has consistently delivered in terms of the storyline, keeping the fanbase satisfied thus far.

Despite the spoilers being released, they have not generated much excitement among the fanbase. While characters like Himawari Uzumaki have gained attention, there are still a few underlying problems that need to be addressed.

According to the leaked information, one can notice familiar mistakes that were present in the previous installment of the manga series. These problems have caused a significant setback to the progress that the manga had achieved thus far. Let’s delve into these issues and understand their impact.

Please be aware that this article contains major spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga chapters, including spoilers from chapter 11 which has not yet been released at the time of writing.

Analyzing the Repetition of Mistakes in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11

The current installation of the manga series is an entertaining read primarily because of a significant shift in the overall tone and atmosphere. While previous installations attempted to capture the stakes and gravity of the situation, they ultimately fell short.

Despite Two Blue Vortex showing signs of taking a darker direction, readers were reassured that history would not repeat itself. In fact, mangaka Masashi Kishimoto himself confirmed that the series would not shy away from exploring darker themes.

It appeared that Inojin’s injury from Jura was a step towards progress. Fans were anticipating the first on-screen death since the time skip. This could have been a clever turning point for the series to take a darker direction.

Despite the spoilers for the upcoming chapter revealing that all of the progress made has been reversed, it is reported that Inojin will survive due to Himawari using her powers to heal him, which was made possible by the new Nine-Tailed Beast chakra.

While Inojin did not play a significant role in the plot, sacrificing him to enhance the darker themes would have been a strategic decision from the writer’s perspective, especially since viewers had shown interest in a darker atmosphere. However, Kishimoto ultimately chose to have Himawari Uzumaki rescue Inojin despite the severe injury inflicted by Jura.

The upcoming battle between Sarada Uchiha and Hidari was highly anticipated, as it was another exciting clash that had been building up. The Shinju had chosen their opponents, and readers were eagerly awaiting Sarada’s shining moment after the time skip. Despite her immense potential, Sarada had been unfairly treated by the writers and never truly had the chance to demonstrate her capabilities. As the daughter of Sasuke, fans had high expectations for her.

The confrontation with Hidari in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex seemed to be flawlessly orchestrated. However, the arrival of Boruto once again disrupted the flow. This was an important battle for Sarada, and it’s possible that Boruto’s interference was not the wisest decision. It’s disheartening to witness Masashi Kishimoto make such significant errors during such a critical moment. After investing nearly 10 months into the story, these missteps could potentially impact the overall enjoyment of the manga.

Despite the manga’s slow build-up of a darker atmosphere, it was quickly dissipated by Himawari’s rescue of Inojin. This prevented the manga from showcasing the high stakes and immense power of the Shinjus. Additionally, characters such as Sarada, who had been sidelined throughout the majority of the story, were finally given the opportunity to shine. Unfortunately, this potential was also negated by the events revealed in chapter 11 of the manga series.

Keep an eye out for further updates on anime and manga as the year 2024 unfolds.
