Boruto Uzumaki Becomes Earth's Strongest Shinobi in Two Blue Vortex
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38 is set to release on October 20, 2026. The manga now positions Boruto Uzumaki as Earth's strongest shinobi three years after Naruto Uzumaki's absence. Major threats include Shinju, Jura, Hidari, and Code.
The manga's current timeline places Boruto Uzumaki as the planet's foremost shinobi, a role once held by his father, Naruto. Three years have passed since Naruto's absence, while Shinju, Jura, Hidari, and Code remain active dangers. Chapter 38 is scheduled for October 20, 2026, and the post-Mamushi arc will continue afterward.
Earlier shifts explain this transition. Sasuke Uchiha lost his Rinnegan to Momoshiki in Chapter 53, published December 20, 2020. Naruto lost Kurama in Chapter 55, released February 19, 2021, ending his Six Paths power. With both former pillars diminished, Mikio Ikemoto has established Boruto as the new strongest.
Readers and anime/manga fans may see Boruto's rise as a generational handoff, reinforcing themes of inheritance and responsibility. The release date and power shift could drive online discussion, fan theories, and sales for the Two Blue Vortex volumes. For younger audiences, the story may model resilience after loss, though its impact remains within entertainment culture rather than broader civic life.
