Boruto Two Blue Vortex volume 2 cover establishes Sarada as the second main character

The release date for Boruto Two Blue Vortex volume 2 in Japan has been announced as May 2, 2024. However, the cover for this volume has already been leaked and it features Sarada Uchiha. This has led some fans to speculate that Sarada may have lost her protagonist role in the Two Blue Vortex series.

The initial installment of Two Blue Vortex highlighted Boruto Uzumaki, the central character of the saga. The volume made its debut in Japan on February 2, 2024, and is yet to be released in English.

Please be aware that this article includes potential spoilers from the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga series and reflects the opinions of the author.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex volume 2: Sarada Uchiha Cover Reveal

The cover for volume 2 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex featured Sarada Uchiha, daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and the second incarnation of the legendary Sannin Tsunade, Sakura Haruno. She is depicted wearing her usual outfit from the Two Blue Vortex series.

On the cover, she was dressed in a black tube top, black shorts, and a red belt, paired with high-heeled sandals and knee-high socks. Her accessories featured earrings in the shape of the Uchiha clan crest, a dark choker, and frameless glasses.

During the climax of Boruto Naruto Next Generation, Sarada was not affected by the brainwashing that framed Boruto as the imposter. She urged her father to protect the protagonist and in the process, her awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan proved to Sasuke that something sinister had taken place.

In the first chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, she appeared as a central figure trying to persuade Shikamaru Nara, the Eight Hokage, to consider Boruto’s perspective and find a resolution. However, Shikamaru was under the influence of Eida’s Omnipotence and disregarded her pleas, warning her against acting impulsively.

During the ensuing chapters, Sarada bravely defended the Hidden Leaf Village from the invading Claw Grimes, prioritizing the safety of the civilians while waiting for Boruto and her father to return. Her actions cemented her as someone who valued her past and led fans to speculate that she could potentially join the ranks of supporting characters in the series, just like Sumire.

It would be undeniable evidence that the writer still considers her a valuable character and she may even take on the role of the deuteragonist in the series, as demonstrated by her feature on the cover of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex volume 2. This position was previously held by Sasuke Uchiha in the previous series, alongside the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki.

Based on the spoilers for chapter 9 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it is revealed that Hidari and Jura launched an attack on the Hidden Leaf Village. Jura was specifically targeting Himawari due to sensing the presence of Kurama’s chakra within her.

Fans could anticipate that Hidari would be in close proximity to Sarada, marking the first opportunity for viewers to witness her growth during the time skip. She has yet to demonstrate the extent of her increased power during this period.

Despite not having a flashy beginning like the protagonist, she may have her time to shine soon. This is evidenced by her appearance on the cover of Boruto Two Blue Vortex volume 2.

The release date and time for chapter 9 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will remain the same.
