In chapter 16 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, titled Singularity by Masashi Kishimoto, certain revelations have sparked intense debates among fans. The burning questions are: Will Boruto die? Will Kawaki die? What events in this chapter led to speculations about Boruto’s potential death?
The Mystery of Kashin Koji and Boruto
The chapter begins with a flashback of Kashin Koji and Boruto conversing. Kashin Koji reveals intriguing details about a future jutsu—a variation of the Flying Raijin Technique—that Boruto is destined to develop in six years. This technique, inspired by his grandfather Minato, the Fourth Hokage, will allow Boruto to traverse vast distances instantaneously using chakra-marked metallic objects of various shapes.
Kashin further shares that while Boruto will aim to create a unique space-time ninjutsu, his creation will largely mirror the Flying Raijin Technique. By sharing this knowledge prematurely, Kashin Koji gives Boruto a significant advantage, enabling him to grow stronger ahead of time. However, Boruto’s sole focus remains on surpassing his limits rather than pondering the implications of his newfound knowledge.
Boruto’s Concern About the Future
In another flashback, Boruto confronts Kashin Koji with an intriguing question: If you can foresee all possible futures, why not warn others to avoid the worst outcomes? Kashin explains that foresight is a double-edged sword.
Anyone aware of the future becomes a singularity—a being detached from the natural flow of fate. Singularities have the power to influence reality in unpredictable ways, creating even more complex futures that become harder to predict. Kashin emphasizes that revealing future events could lead to chaos rather than order.
Currently, there are three known singularities in the Boruto universe: Kashin Koji, Boruto, and Eida. With her Senrigan ability, Eida watches the flashback unfold, further highlighting the weight of Kashin’s revelations. Kashin insists it is the singularities’ responsibility to steer others toward a positive outcome without divulging sensitive information about future events.
Is Kashin Koji Hiding Something?
This secrecy raises an important question: Is Kashin Koji hiding more than he lets on? Could achieving a brighter future require events that Boruto and Eida might find unacceptable?
A compelling comparison can be drawn to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange withholds critical details about Tony Stark’s fate to ensure the ultimate victory over Thanos. Could Kashin Koji be concealing a similar devastating truth?
Theories About Boruto and Kawaki’s Fate
The possibilities are endless. Will Kawaki die? Will Boruto die? Or perhaps someone dear to Boruto will meet their end? The list of potential Boruto deaths is long, and fans can only speculate about the twists Kishimoto has in store.
This chapter leaves us questioning Kashin Koji’s true motives. Is he protecting Boruto from a grim truth, or is he merely fulfilling his role as a singularity? Whatever the case, these mysteries set the stage for future chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Stay tuned as we unravel the fate of Boruto and those closest to him in the chapters to come.
