Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes is an exciting story that revitalizes the manga with a string of interesting twists and developments, but also makes a point of maintaining the lessons and themes of naruto at its forefront. The second part of the series paid multiple tributes to naruto so far, and while it maintains a distinct story style, it’s paying respect to what started it all and fans couldn’t be happier.
In chapter #15 of Boruto: Two Blue VortexesBoruto and Kawaki had their first non-violent confrontation in years, and it led to an important conversation. It is here that Boruto reveals that Amado placed limiters on Kawaki’s power, and they formed an alliance to overthrow Jura. Before that, however, Kawaki asked Boruto why he didn’t reveal the truth about Omnipotence, and the answer makes it clear that one of the most important themes in the naruto is still alive and well in its sequel.
Boruto is putting emphasis on student-master relationships
Boruto and Sasuke are a fantastic duo
Boruto said he could withstand the hardships caused by Omnipotence because of the courage he inherited from his teacher, Sasuke. Since the beginning of the second part, Boruto has shown his admiration for his master on several occasions, and this makes sense, given that they spent three years together, and Sasuke not only taught him many skills and techniques, but also saved his life from the Code. Boruto now embodies what it means to be a Shadow Hokage, not just in actions, but also in the way he preserves Konoha’s safety behind the scenes and protects the village without any recognition or praise.
It’s quite interesting how Boruto’s respect for Sasuke started out as nothing more than fascination, but gradually they continued to bond. The two continue to grow closer, and what really makes their relationship even better is that Sasuke decides to protect Boruto even when his mind is brainwashed into thinking he killed Naruto. This is one of the best moments of their relationship, and even though Sasuke was technically under the influence of Omnipotence, he continued to protect Boruto. Although being a good father to Sarada played a role, he still worried about his student.
While naruto had many themes, such as challenging fate, creating bonds and breaking the cycle of hate, one thing that made the series unique is how much emphasized the relationship between a student and a teacher. This is a common trope in shonen manga with iconic duos like Gohan and Piccolo, Ichigo and Urahara, but naruto He did this so many times that it was clear how much respect Kishimoto had for his mentors.
Furthermore, these relationships are an integral part of the story. Asuma’s death led Shikamaru to finally mature, Jiraiya’s death made Naruto understand Sasuke’s pain, Tsunade helped Sakura become the kunoichi she wanted, Kakashi trained and helped Sasuke in any way he could, Obito’s relationship with Miinato was instrumental in bringing him to the good side, and many other dynamics that are still fondly remembered by fans today.
Boruto needs other master-student relationships
One mentor is not enough
While making Sasuke an integral part of Boruto’s life was great, the series needs to give other characters and their mentors screen time. The most obvious choice would be Sarada, and there’s potential to give her an interesting dynamic with a teacher. for example, explaining how she learned to use new techniques like Chidori Nagashi could be a way of introducing a master. Furthermore, Sarada needs someone to teach her how to use the Mangekyo Sharingan. What better person could do this than Kakashi Hatake, the sixth Hokage who invented Chidori and former user of the Mangekyo Sharingan?
Himawari is another interesting character who would greatly benefit from having a teacher. Now that she can use Kurama’s power, she can train to utilize it more efficiently. In her fight against Jura, he noticed that she ran out of chakra quickly, which was to be expected since this is the first time she has used Kurama’s chakra. There is no one more perfect to teach her how to be a better “Jinchuriki” than Killer Bee, and it would be a good time since Bee also taught Naruto how to tame his powers.
Boruto is a mix of Sasuke and Naruto
Boruto’s ideals reconcile those of his father and mentor
Boruto is not only a master swordsman like Sasuke, but he also wears a cape, a headband, and a black outfit. He mirrors his master in every way he canshowing the deep admiration she has for him. However, he is still his father’s son and regards him as highly as Sasuke does. In fact, the reason Boruto didn’t despair when Omnipotence changed his and Kawaki’s lives was because he thought about what Naruto would do and decided to persevere.
While Boruto: Two Blue VortexesThe main theme of is the examination of what it means to be a shinobi in an age where science and technology are relied upon, he says. narutolegacy by including one of the series’ fundamental messages. While there is room for improvement and more similar relationships for it to be as good as narutoHis representation, but the bond between Boruto and Sasuke is already a big step forward.
