Kashin Koji and Boruto’s Future Fate

Despite much debate among fans about Boruto’s role in the story, his character development has been overshadowed by the presence of Kawaki and their similarities to Naruto and Sasuke’s dynamic in the original series. However, it can be argued that Boruto, as the current protagonist, has undergone significant growth and development.

In Chapter 13, it was discovered that the protagonist played a crucial role in “supposedly”altering the world’s destiny and solidifying their position as the sole factor responsible for the world’s ongoing existence. Despite the various speculations surrounding Kashin Koji’s newfound ability to see into the future, it is important to acknowledge that the protagonist’s importance as a pivotal point in future events is merely a theory based on Kashin Koji’s conjectures.

This article includes spoilers for the Boruto Two Blue Vortex series. Viewer discretion is advised.

The Role of Boruto in Kawaki’s Character Development

The thirteenth chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex commenced by uncovering Kashin Koji’s crucial contribution to the growth and perseverance of the main character. With the use of his newly acquired power, “Ten Directions,”Kashin Koji was able to see potential outcomes and ultimately convinced the protagonist to join his mission.

It was discovered that a series of events resulted in the downfall of the world, starting with the main character’s demise. This was followed by Kawaki’s defeat against a formidable enemy and his subsequent use as a sacrifice for the Ten-Tails. Despite being trained by Kashin Koji to prevent the world’s destruction, it was strongly emphasized that the main character would ultimately meet his fate at the hands of Jura.

Kashin Koji’s tone and language clearly indicate that the protagonist’s demise at the hands of Jura is an inevitable outcome. This suggests that there are no possible scenarios where the protagonist, Boruto, emerges victorious.

It is highly likely that the protagonist’s defeat at the hands of Jura will play a crucial role in the timeline and potentially aid in saving the world. Kawaki may hold the key to this outcome. However, Kawaki’s character development and strength currently lag behind that of the protagonist. In a recent interview with Ikemoto and Kishimoto, it was revealed that Kawaki’s growth will soon undergo a significant transformation.

Despite the protagonist’s death potentially leading to Kawaki’s defeat of the Shinju, it is possible that Kishimoto and Ikemoto are using this as an opportunity to further develop Kawaki’s character and potentially make him the last “hero”of the narrative. The protagonist’s declaration that he will not support any plan that results in Kawaki’s demise also foreshadows a potential death for himself.

Final Thoughts

The conclusion of Chapter 13 in the manga showcased the protagonist’s arrest by the Hidden Leaf Village. However, readers can look forward to finding out the protagonist’s true outcome and potential involvement of Kashin Koji in this scenario in the upcoming release of Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14 on September 20, 2024.

Kashin Koji has stressed the importance of the protagonist’s presence in ensuring the world’s survival. As a result, it is conceivable that Kashin Koji himself may intervene to prevent the protagonist from being executed by the Hidden Leaf Village and Kawaki.
