Boruto vs. Shinjus: The Ultimate Showdown on the Latest V-Jump Cover

The highly anticipated release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 is scheduled for Friday, June 21, 2024, in Shueisha’s V Jump August edition. However, prior to the magazine’s official release, the cover art was leaked online nearly a week in advance. The cover showcased Boruto engaged in a fierce battle against all four Shinjus.

The previous chapter of the manga depicted Kawaki and Delta’s attempt to prevent Jura from capturing Himawari, while Hidari challenged Sarada to a fight. In the midst of this, Inojin was severely harmed by Jura, causing Himawari to tap into Kurama’s chakra for the first time.

New Boruto Manga Reveals Colorful Shinjus in Latest Two Blue Vortex Chapter

Shueisha’s V Jump magazine has announced that their August edition, featuring Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11, will be released in Japan on Friday, June 21, 2024. However, the cover art for this issue was leaked online nearly a week before its official release date.

It was apparent that the most recent magazine cover showcased Boruto in a battle against the four Shinjus, specifically Jura, Hidari, Matsuri, and the unnamed Shinju based on Bug. This came as a surprise since the upcoming chapter was not expected to include these events.

The event shown on the magazine cover actually occurred in the fourth chapter of the manga. However, it is possible that the cover art is foreshadowing a future fight. In this scenario, fans may have the opportunity to see a rematch between Boruto and the Shinjus. It is hoped that this time, Boruto will have the support of his fellow Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village, such as Sarada and Mitsuki.

The positive aspect is that the magazine cover provides fans with a sneak peek at the character designs and color schemes of all four Shinjus. Prior to the release of Jura’s colored illustration in chapter 8, fans speculated that all Shinjus shared a black and red color palette. However, this proved to be untrue as Jura’s color palette consisted of black and turquoise.

Contrary to expectations, the remaining Shunjus did not share the same color scheme. While black remained the primary color for all of them, each Shinju had a distinct secondary color. Hidari’s was yellow, Himari’s was purple, and the unnamed Shinju’s was blue.

The release of Shueisha’s V Jump super-sized August edition featured the first color images of all the Shinjus, giving fans the opportunity to see them in full color for the first time.
