Summary
In just 12 chapters,Boruto: Two Blue Vortexhas managed to add to the franchise’s rich lore and mysteries, and the latest chapter pushed things further than fans expected. The new villains, the self-aware Divine Trees, were completely shrouded in mystery, but a new detail enlightened fans a bit more, although it brought about even more questions.
In the face of the powerful Hidari, Boruto teamed up with Sarada and Konohamaru, and the two bought the protagonist some time whilehe charged up the Rasengan Uzuhiko.
After blowing Hidari to bits save for his face, Hidari was about to escape through a Clawmark but Kawaki swooped in, shrinking his escape route and finishing him off. What was left was something resembling a fruit,a Thorn Soul Bulb.
Boruto Confirms How Powerful He Got (And How Weak Kawaki Is) In Official Preview
Boruto’s absurd power level is confirmed yet again in an official preview of chapter #9 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
The Weakness of the Divine Trees Has Been Exposed
The Thorn Soul Bulb Can Be the Key To Defeating These Enemies
The Thorn Soul Bulb formed after Hidari was defeated and blown to bits, which means that it can only be obtained with the “death” of a Divine Tree. Furthermore, Boruto saidit was necessary to bring Sasuke backand free him from the tree he is currently trapped in, apparently dead. How the Thorn Soul Bulb will be used to release the captive is still unknown, and it seems Boruto does not know about it either.
Interestingly, after getting hold of the Bulb, Boruto asks Kashin Koji if it is indeed what they were looking for, and Kashin Koji confirms it, saying it isexactly like the one he saw before. This could mean that Kashin Koji had already encountered a self-aware Divine Tree before, and it was defeated, raising even more questions about the time skip and what Jiraiya’s clone was up to in the 3 years.
Unfortunately, Jura retrieved the Thorn Soul Bulb of his companion before Boruto could secure it. Juram who was until that moment set on consumingNaruto and then Himawari, seems to have now included Boruto on his hit list after finding out he knew about the Thorn Soul Bulb.
This is a further hint of the importance of this revelation for the series' new villains, which means that cracking this mystery will be key inBoruto: Two Blue Vortexgoing forward, and will be yet another thing fans can look forward to finding out.
