Since its inception, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has introduced a myriad of characters exhibiting power levels that far exceed those seen in the original Naruto series. Notably, characters like Boruto and Kawaki exemplify this enhanced strength, alongside formidable antagonists like Delta, a former Inner of Kara who has emerged as a crucial ally for Konoha.
Delta embodies complexity with a richly layered backstory and a significant connection to Amado. As a genetically engineered cyborg infused with Shibai Otsutsuki’s DNA, Delta possesses terrifying fighting abilities. Initially powerful, her remodeling by Amado has further enhanced her abilities, securing her place as one of the most potent characters in the Boruto narrative.
Who Is Delta?
A Former Inner Within Kara
| First Appearance | Boruto, Episode 157 “Kara’s Footprints” |
| Debut Date | July 19, 2020 |
Delta is one of the menacing characters introduced alongside the Kara organization. As an Inner, her allegiance was not born from loyalty but rather through programming by Amado, who had cloned her from his deceased daughter, Akebi. Through Kara, he pursued his goal of resurrecting Akebi, but his intentions shifted upon discovering Isshiki’s true nature. Post reprogramming during Amado’s coup against Jigen, Delta shifted her allegiance to Konoha while retaining her fierce demeanor and bloodlust.
A Living Scientific Ninja Tool
Delta’s Entire Body Is Modified With Scientific Tools
Delta can be described as a living scientific ninja tool, with every aspect of her being augmented with advanced technological enhancements. Her primary ability is the absorption of ninjutsu and chakra, making her a significant threat to any shinobi reliant on these methods, including formidable opponents like Naruto.
During their confrontation, even Naruto struggled against Delta, managing only to momentarily incapacitate her by overloading her chakra-absorbing ocular tool with numerous gigantic Rasengans—an approach that any standard shinobi could not replicate due to their chakra limits. Moreover, Delta’s eyes allow her to fire devastating laser beams that can obliterate cellular structures, effectively nullifying regenerative abilities. This unique characteristic poses a severe disadvantage to opponents like Naruto, who depend heavily on recuperative powers through Kurama’s chakra.
The modifications to Delta’s legs enable her to deploy rocket boosters for flight or utilize them as penetrating weapons, enhancing her combat efficiency by targeting enemies directly.
Unparalleled Taijutsu Strength and Physical Prowess
Delta Excels in Hand-to-Hand Combat
Thanks to her incorporation of Otsutsuki DNA, Delta possesses extraordinary physical capabilities. Her proficiency in Taijutsu allows her to challenge even the fiercest combatants in close-range scenarios, and her battle with Naruto Uzumaki exemplifies this, as he struggled against her prowess even while using his Six Path Sage Mode.
Delta’s remarkable speed and strength distinguish her as a top-tier combatant in the Boruto universe. Following her reprogramming, she demonstrated a significant increase in her physical strength by easily overpowering Code, who was previously considered stronger than her. This clearly highlights her status as one of the most formidable physical fighters in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.
An Unkillable Conscience
Delta Can Switch Consciousness Between Multiple Clones
Beyond her advanced weaponry and combat skills, Delta’s most significant asset is her seemingly indestructible conscience. In the event of her physical form being annihilated, she can seamlessly transfer her consciousness to another clone, effectively making her impossible to permanently defeat. This ability was first showcased during her fight with Naruto, where she appeared to be vanquished only to later re-emerge in a different body in Amado’s laboratory.
Given that it took all of Naruto’s power to overcome Delta in their initial encounter, ensuring her permanent defeat seems highly unlikely, as long as a replica exists. Additionally, Delta’s consciousness can link with other objects, like her accompanying drone, further emphasizing her resilient nature.
A Remodified Delta
Delta Has Returned to Boruto Stronger Than Ever
In the Boruto series, Delta was last seen in a dormant state after Amado’s coup against Jigen. However, interest in her character surged with her recent return in the Omnipotence Arc, showcasing a newly reformed body that combines her original powers with significantly enhanced raw strength.
Upon her reawakening, Delta swiftly overpowered Code, proving she has exceeded her previous strength levels. Although ultimately halted by Eida, Delta’s transformation marks her as a distinctly more powerful entity than before, capable of standing against Naruto. While reprogrammed as an ally to Konoha, her menacing character and formidable combat skills remain intact, augmenting her critical role in the ongoing saga.
