In the manga series ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’, Boruto showed a distinct reluctance to use his Karma abilities. This becomes clear during his encounters with formidable opponents such as the evolved God Tree.
Despite the challenges posed by these powerful enemies, Boruto does not rely on Karma but instead chooses to confront them with his inherent strength and abilities.
One could argue that Boruto’s strategic withdrawal from the conflict was a prudent decision. However, the toad had to try many times to convince Boruto to retreat from the battle.
This clearly shows that Boruto was determined to defeat the Evolved God Tree, even at the risk of his own safety.
Given the dangerous nature of the situation, Boruto could have used his Karma ability. However, his steadfast refusal to do so suggests that he may be intentionally avoiding using Karma to prevent the Otsutsuki leader, Momoshiki, from gaining control of his body and mind.
Momoshiki’s constant threat and Boruto’s struggle for control
A fan theory circulating on Twitter, proposed by @k1k3art, suggests that Momoshiki Otsutsuki remains the most formidable threat to Boruto in the ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’ manga series.
Despite Boruto’s exponential growth in strength and power, there is still a persistent risk that Momoshiki could gain control of Boruto’s body if certain conditions are met.
Fans are well aware that Momoshiki Otsutsuki has the ability to take over Boruto’s physical form if Boruto falls unconscious, experiences extreme pain, or is willing to switch places with Momoshiki.
This ability to possess could be the driving force behind Boruto’s constant pursuit of power and training, as he could be striving to become so powerful that he would never find himself in a situation where he meets any odds. any of these conditions.
Although fan theories suggest that Momoshiki can control Boruto if his Karma is activated, this claim appears to be incorrect.
If that were true, Momoshiki would not have repeatedly begged Boruto to voluntarily change places with him. Instead, he can forcibly activate Boruto’s Karma and take control without Boruto’s consent.
This point is further proven by the final chapter of the manga ‘Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, in which Momoshiki is forced to activate Boruto’s Karma, demonstrating the ability to do so without Boruto’s consent.
After Eida switched places with Boruto and Kawaki, Momoshiki may have hoped that Boruto would succumb to despair and give up his will.
This would effectively allow Momoshiki to take control, as Boruto surrendering his mental power would be the same as allowing Momoshiki to take over his body.
Unfortunately for Otsutsuki, Boruto remained calm and showed a steadfast spirit, resisting Momoshiki’s attempts to break his spirit.
While this seems like a positive development, it also means that Momoshiki could potentially gain control of Boruto if he ever experiences a moment of weakness or faltering in his thinking.
This revelation implies that, despite the trauma of having his life taken away, Boruto can never sink into feelings of despair or hopelessness, as such a mental decline could give Momoshiki the opportunity to gain control.
Boruto’s struggle with emotional repression
Boruto’s adoption of an attitude similar to Sasuke’s, characterized by widespread apathy in the face of adversity, may be a direct consequence of his need to maintain a steadfast mindset.
Such a personality acts as a shield, preventing Boruto from succumbing to the weight of circumstances and allowing Momoshiki to exploit any moment of weakness.
However, this stoic approach to life’s challenges also carries risks. Boruto’s efforts to suppress his emotions and maintain an unshakable determination may ultimately prove unsustainable.
The constant effort to suppress his true emotions and experiences could one day erupt, potentially sending Boruto down a path of depression and despair.
If such a scenario were to occur, where Boruto’s mental strength falters under the weight of his emotional burden, Momoshiki could seize the opportunity to gain control of Boruto’s consciousness.
With the possibility that the time-displaced version of Boruto could possess far greater power than Momoshiki himself, the combination of Momoshiki’s influence and the enhanced power provided by Karma could make Boruto a force to be reckoned with. unstoppable.
