Alright so this whole Boruto manga thing has been wild lately, right? Ever since that Blue Vortex arc kicked off with Boruto popping back after the skip, looking all cool with that jacket and scar… I just had to sit down and try to figure out where this crazy train is heading. I’ve been following this kid since he was a little brat chasing after Sarada, so yeah, I felt invested.
First step? Well, I re-read everything. Seriously, from chapter 1 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations all the way to the latest Blue Vortex stuff. Didn’t skip the damn fillers either – sometimes those throw in weird hints. Had my laptop open, phone buzzing with Discord group chats, and like three energy drinks nearby. My desk looked like a hurricane hit it by the end.
Then, I went hunting for patterns. Kishimoto loves his cycles and echoes, man. Looked back at Naruto stuff, especially the Pain arc and Kaguya nonsense. Jotted down anything that felt similar in Boruto:
- Boruto’s Jougan eye doing weird spacetime stuff? Totally screams Kamui/Obito vibes.
- Kawaki acting like a cornered animal? Classic Sasuke internal conflict mess.
- All this talk about “Shinju” and a “God Tree”? Hello, Ten Tails anyone? Deja vu city.
After drowning in old chapters, I hit the forums and discords. Jumped into those fan theories discussions – some are pure crackpot, others are surprisingly sharp. Saw a bunch of people arguing about Eida’s Omnipotence being permanent or not. Some think Code’s gonna get a power-up by munching on chakra fruit soon. Lots of guesses about Himawari suddenly becoming a ninja powerhouse too.
That actually sparked my own main prediction: Boruto ain’t done paying yet. That scar on his eye? The way Kurama talked to him? He’s got Momoshiki squatting in his head, so more sacrifice is probably coming – maybe even involving Sarada or Sasuke somehow, knowing how this author loves emotional gut-punches. And Kawaki? Man, he’s so desperate to ‘save’ Naruto by destroying everything Boruto cares about… I think they’ll clash hard, maybe wrecking Konoha worse than Pain did. But Kishimoto loves a redemption arc, so Kawaki might get one eventually, even if he gets his butt kicked first.
Finally, I sat down and typed it all out, messy brain dump and all. It’s just guesswork, but hey, thinking it through step-by-step, seeing the pieces click? That’s the fun part for me. Helps make the month-long waits between chapters a little less painful!
