Boruto’s Core Cast is Complete with Himawari’s Awakening, and it Marks Two Blue Vortex’s True Start

The tenth chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, which was released on May 20, 2024, depicted the emergence of Himawari Uzumaki as the future host of the Nine-Tailed Fox. The chapter also highlighted Sarada Uchiha as she bravely faced off against Hidari and successfully evaded his Chidori attack.

Regrettably, the main characters of the series were preoccupied with either wallowing in their mistakes or being overcome by their opponents. However, Himawari’s awakening served as confirmation that the Two Blue Vortex manga series has officially begun its true beginning stage.

The connection between the Naruto series and Two Blue Vortex can be attributed to the fact that both have four main protagonists, with the newest addition to Two Blue Vortex being Himawari, mirroring the four lead characters in Naruto.

Please note: The following article includes possible spoilers from the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga series and reflects the author’s personal opinion.

Why Himawari’s Awakening Signals the True Beginning of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 10 began with Jura heading towards Himawari’s location while Hidari remained behind to confront Konohamaru’s team. However, Sarada appeared and was immediately targeted by Hidari.

As Hidari launched an attack, Sarada swiftly countered with her Chidori and came to the realization that the God Tree possessed the same formidable power as her father. Meanwhile, Konohamaru and his team observed in awe as they witnessed Sarada’s impressive growth and strength.

Meanwhile, Jura approached Team 10, who were escorting Himawari to safety. In a sudden move, Jura attacked and captured them, taking hold of Himawari. Inojin attempted to intervene, but Jura’s attack caused the God Tree to impale his body.

Himawari experienced a traumatic event when she saw one of her rescuers get gravely hurt. She had previously implored Kurama to intervene, but he asserted that it was ultimately up to her and she had all the power. Seeing Inojin’s injury triggered Himawari’s Nine-tails chakra, and in the subsequent chapter, she was shown using it to fight.

On the contrary, Kawaki remained motionless, reflecting on his loss to Boruto. He had originally devised a plan to rescue Naruto from Momoshiki, but with the protagonist’s newfound strength without the use of Karma, Kawaki’s plan appeared to be insufficient.

Despite Kawaki’s attack with his chakra rods, the protagonist easily evaded them in their brief battle. However, the latter delivered a powerful punch that caused Kawaki to fall, leaving him to realize that the protagonist would not be easy to defeat.

On the contrary, Boruto was deeply disturbed by the potential awakening of Momoshiki within him following the activation of Karma during his fight with Kawaki. If Momoshiki had gained control, he would have been able to use Boruto’s body to harm his closest family and friends.

During the time skip, the main character devoted four years to intensive training with Sasuke in order to perfect his ninjutsu and other skills. This was his way of breaking free from his reliance on Karma for strength. His ultimate goal was to protect Hidden Leaf Village and reclaim his true identity as the 7th Hokage’s son from Kawaki.

As a result, Sarada has unlocked her Sharingan, Himawari possesses the power of the Nine-Tails, Kawaki has activated his Doujutsu, and Boruto has honed his skills through four years of training.

In addition, the four individuals could now be viewed as equally powerful, signifying the beginning of Blue Vortex’s true rise. With their goals and strength, they would play a crucial role in the main storyline, elevating the manga to a new level of excitement.

In the parent story of Boruto, Naruto, there were four main protagonists. Although Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were the central focus, Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake also played crucial roles in advancing the storyline.

It is likely that the Two Blue Vortex manga series would also revolve around four characters, similar to its source material.

The anticipated release date for chapter 11 of Two Blue Vortex is June 21, 2024, and fans can anticipate that this chapter will surpass expectations.
