The Boruto series has captivated audiences with its introduction of various powerful abilities. Throughout its run, fans have encountered extraordinarily formidable characters, from the Otsutsuki clan, like Momoshiki and Isshiki, to newly developed adversaries. The thrilling aspect of encountering such potent foes is the inevitable evolution of the protagonists, hinting at even greater strengths and abilities for their favorite heroes.
Among these heroes is Naruto Uzumaki, who achieved remarkable power with his Baryon Mode. However, this transformation came with a grave consequence: the death of Kurama. Despite this loss, the possibility of Baryon Mode’s return remains high, as it is a crucial capability that could re-emerge through not just one, but two significant characters in the series.
Understanding the Power of Baryon Mode
- An Ability Comparable to Nuclear Fusion
- Naruto’s Ultimate Weapon Against Isshiki Otsutsuki
The introduction of Isshiki Otsutsuki signaled a major turning point for Naruto and Sasuke. Unlike previous Otsutsuki encounters, Isshiki presented an unprecedented challenge, especially after he manifested in Jigen’s body for a brief, limited duration. During this time, he showcased overwhelming strength, rendering both heroes significantly outmatched.
Listen, Naruto! Don’t make any unnecessary movements. That’s the key to preserving this form for as long as possible! — Kurama
To combat this formidable opponent, Naruto had to unlock a new power, which was facilitated by Kurama’s insight. The unique mechanics of Baryon Mode involve using their combined chakra as fuel to create an immensely powerful energy source, akin to the process of nuclear fusion. This transformation, however, was not without it risks, leading to stringent limitations on its use during combat, emphasizing the crucial element of energy conservation.
Embracing Baryon Mode allowed Naruto to surpass Isshiki temporarily; he matched and even outperformed Isshiki in battle, solidifying his status as one of the strongest characters in the series at that time, surpassed only by Shibai. Unfortunately, the potency of Baryon Mode ultimately faded, resulting in Kurama’s death and leaving Naruto considerably weakened as he lost his Tailed Beast powers. Although Baryon Mode appears to be a thing of the past, the potential for its revival remains vibrant in the narrative moving forward.
The Future of Baryon Mode for Himawari and Naruto
Baryon Mode stands out as a remarkable ability that demands its return to the storyline. The author has hinted at Kurama’s potential reappearance, raising expectations for its future application. Nonetheless, any revival of Baryon Mode must be approached with caution to avoid redundancy by circumventing the previous death toll associated with its use.
To put it simply, you and I have much more compatibility than any other Jinchuriki ever before, including Naruto! — Kurama
For Baryon Mode to succeed, it should evolve into a safer version that significantly boosts power without sacrifices. With Himawari Uzumaki now being Kurama’s host, her character’s growth hinges on her potential mastery of this ability, which could be crucial for her development as a warrior in upcoming conflicts.
Himawari’s Baryon Mode: Feasibility and Impact
As a character, Himawari Uzumaki has been endowed with immense potential within the Boruto narrative. With Kurama as her companion, her participation in future pivotal battles is guaranteed, necessitating significant power enhancements such as Baryon Mode. Questions arise regarding how Baryon Mode’s risks can be mitigated in her case, considering Kurama’s lethality with Naruto. The answer lies in their remarkable synergy.
The battle against Jura showcased that Himawari exhibited superior compatibility with Kurama compared to Naruto, enabling optimal utilization of chakra and suggesting more efficient energy consumption. With this compatibility, Baryon Mode could feasibly be stabilized, allowing shorter yet impactful transformations for Himawari, elevating her capabilities significantly.
The Possibility of Naruto’s Baryon Mode
Moreover, Naruto Uzumaki retains the potential to re-enter Baryon Mode. It is plausible that he still carries chakra derived from the Tailed Beasts, and even if that connection were lost, he could still seek their essence through unique links established among them. Navigating this chakra division could lead him to develop an evolved variant of Baryon Mode devoid of those perilous consequences. Considering that the specifics haven’t restricted Baryon Mode to Kurama’s chakra alone, accessing the chakra from other Tailed Beasts could empower Naruto once again, allowing him to reclaim his status as a legendary figure in battle.
While the future remains uncertain, the framework exists for Naruto Uzumaki to ascend to new heights of power within the storyline.
Fans can explore the Boruto series via Viz Media, with access available for free through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Look forward to the next chapter, titled ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’ Chapter 19, releasing on February 20, 2025.
