Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has placed Kawaki, the deuteragonist, in a challenging position for over a year; however, a pivotal moment is finally at hand. While he is set to gain unprecedented power, this enhancement comes with significant risks, making him more vulnerable than ever.
In Chapter #18, Kawaki’s fervent desire for more power leads him to confront Amado, demanding that the scientist eliminate his limiters and maximize his offensive capabilities. Just as he is about to gain this power, Sumire intervenes, allowing Amado to utilize Kawaki’s shutdown code. Once Kawaki regains consciousness, the duo engages in a dialogue about the alarming resurgence of the God Trees, a turn of events neither anticipated. Although Amado adjusts Kawaki’s offensive capabilities, it comes with a critical caveat: his healing and defensive faculties will suffer, rendering him significantly more susceptible to harm.
Kawaki Finally Gains the Power to Fight On His Own
Kawaki’s Newfound Strength Comes with a Price
Throughout the storyline of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Kawaki has faced a series of defeats, including being bested by both Boruto and Mitsuki. Despite these setbacks, he emerged relatively unscathed, largely due to Amado’s enhancements, which rendered him nearly invulnerable to attacks as Amado sought to revive his deceased daughter. However, Amado’s recent shift in strategy to bolster Kawaki’s offensive capabilities now compromises his defensive skills, since the enhancements operate on a zero-sum framework.
Despite a track record of losses, Kawaki’s resilience has shone through. He demonstrated significant prowess by defeating Code, a formidable adversary rumored to rival Jigen’s strength, and even engaged Boruto while he was possessed by Momoshiki, managing to temporarily bring him down. Initially focused on defense, Kawaki’s offensive abilities were limited, leading to an enticing prospect: he may very well emerge as an equal to Boruto.
Although Kawaki’s skill set lacks the vastness of Boruto’s, his capabilities are incredibly potent. The Black Rods he wields are notably effective; Naruto and Sasuke experienced this firsthand during their confrontation with Jigen. With the removal of his limiters, Kawaki is expected to gain speed and lethality in his attacks, potentially increasing his output of Black Rods significantly.
On the contrary, Kawaki’s approach to shinobi values is unique, showcasing an innate talent for ninjutsu. Impressively, he mastered both the Shadow Clone and Fire Style jutsus within days, despite lacking formal training. His ability to adapt and innovate places him among the elite fighters, and expectations are high for his specialized ninjutsu techniques to evolve substantially.
Kawaki May Cause Greater Detriment
Kawaki’s Greatest Fears Could Soon Materialize
Although Amado acquiesces to strengthening Kawaki, he imposes a critical condition: the implantation of Kawaki’s Karma onto a clone of Akebi, his deceased daughter. This decision stems from Amado’s determination to harness Akebi’s data embedded within Kawaki’s Karma, yet this proposal raises alarms for Kawaki, who fears that Akebi could awaken as an Otsutsuki. After discussions filled with tension, they reach a compromise: Kawaki must first defeat the God Trees, Code, and Boruto before Amado proceeds with the implantation. Should Akebi’s transformation occur, Kawaki vows to eliminate her without hesitation, striving to protect the world at all costs, even if it puts him at odds with Amado.
Kawaki’s harrowing experiences with Jigen have intensified his hatred for the Otsutsuki. With Code and Momoshiki threatening Naruto—who holds significant importance in Kawaki’s life—he is driven to annihilate the Otsutsuki, even at the expense of his own existence as a part Otsutsuki himself. The looming threat of Akebi transforming into an Otsutsuki drives Kawaki’s resolve to preemptively strike down the potential danger she poses, highlighting the complexity of his character and the stakes involved.
Though fans have long speculated about Kawaki’s ascension to match the power levels of both Boruto and the God Trees, the conditions surrounding his growth inject a layer of complexity that enriches the narrative. Moreover, the potential resurrection of Akebi and her transformation into an Otsutsuki add an element of unpredictability that keeps audiences engaged. With this latest development, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is set to unveil an evolved version of Kawaki that promises to redefine his character arc profoundly.
