The manga, despite being in its concluding stage, still managed to expand its worldbuilding by introducing a new element. Towards the end, Jura’s declaration of Kawaki being an Otsutsuki fodder stirred up discussions on platforms like X. However, this statement may not have as negative an impact as fans perceive it to have.

This article includes major spoilers from the manga chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex – Chapter 12: The Truth Behind Jura Calling Kawaki Otsutsuki Fodder

In the twelfth chapter of the manga series, Boruto faced off against Hidari and emerged victorious. However, his victory was not solely his own, as Kawaki intervened and dealt the final blow. The death of Shinju also revealed a fascinating discovery: a thorny fruit known as the Thorn Soul Bulb. Boruto then confirmed with Kashin Koji and obtained the fruit, which was crucial in saving Sasuke.

Despite Kawaki being unaware of the fruit, Jura took possession of it just as Boruto was about to explain. In fact, Jura even managed to strike both the protagonist and Sarada Uchiha from a distance. It wasn’t until after retrieving the fruit that Jura insulted Kawaki by calling him an Otsutsuki fodder.

Prior to this, he had also recognized the immense strength of Boruto. Jura was concerned as the main character was aware of the Thorn Soul Bulb, leading him to hastily retrieve the fruit.

Kawaki was often referred to as an Otsutsuki fodder due to being seen as less of a threat compared to Boruto. In comparison to the two Otsutsuki, Kawaki was considered the weaker one. Additionally, he posed less of a danger to Jura as he was unaware of the existence of the Thorn Soul Bulb.

Despite being depicted as weak, Kawaki still has a role to play in the series. It is likely that he will eventually have a moment to shine and prove his worth. As he is no longer seen as a major threat, using him as a sacrifice would be a strategic move to aid the Shinju in consuming him.

The term fodder is frequently used without much thought, causing netizens to lose sight of its true definition. Fodder refers to something or someone that is seen as material for a specific purpose. In this situation, since the Shinju had targeted specific individuals for consumption, Kawaki was referred to as fodder due to his potential to be consumed. However, this does not diminish Kawaki’s worth or strength as a character in the series.

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