Warning: Spoilers for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #8
Summary
Eida may have wanted to reverse the Omnipotence from the beginning, as seen in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, making the plot resolution disappointing. Eida's power could be a convenient way for Kawaki's redemption story to work. The almighty plot in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is the most engaging. It leaves Boruto's allies vulnerable and forced to make strategic decisions to protect the village.
Longtime readers of Shōnen manga are excited at the prospect of a new plot focus in Boruto: Two blue tornadoes, but details about the ending of the Almighty storyline may temper the hype. The series does a great job of reintroducing Boruto's characters as mature, capable individuals with clear motivations, clear stakes, and Kafkaesque situations for its hero. But recent chapters of the series are heading towards a somewhat disappointing ending.
The original Boruto sequel began in earnest in 2016 but quickly fell back on nostalgia to pick itself up. For a series that initially wanted to revolve around Boruto Uzumaki's story, the series spent more time leaning into the characters established in Naruto. However, the new time-travel series ignores the promise of a great origin story focusing solely on its stars by deliberately sidelining Boruto's father.
However, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex's acclaimed new plot revolves around Kawaki's betrayal and his downfall as a character. However, recent chapters have revealed that this plot could lead to an unsatisfying resolution, with the Almighty simply returning everything to normal.
There's an easy solution to Boruto: The Two Blue Vortex Conspiracy and it's a disappointment
Longtime readers may find Deus Ex Machina's ending disappointing
A disappointing flaw remained after Eida unleashed his Omnipotent Power and swapped Boruto's position in Konoha with Kawaki's in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #79. As shown in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #8, she shows her empathetic side when she confides in Mitsuki, suggesting that she wants to “have a long talk with Boruto.” It shows how her trust in Kawaki has wavered after seeing how quickly he eroded Mitsuki's “love”. and for similar reasons. Most importantly, it could mean that Eida has finally allowed Boruto to use his Omnipotent Powers like Kawaki did to reverse the events before the timeskip.
Eida's origin in the series involves her quickly falling in love with Kawaki, but by Chapter #8, she may realize it was nothing more than infatuation. She and Mitsuki discuss this possibility as a false love demonstrated by Eida's ability. Things start to happen after Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, where the outcast hero calmly declares that it is he and not Kawaki, Mitsuki's “Sun” who is the one to follow, an attitude that makes Eida shocked. While this might make sense for Kawaki's decision to reverse his Omnipotent wish, it can lead to a hasty conclusion to an otherwise compelling plot.
Eida may have wanted to reverse the omnipotence
Events from Boruto: Naruto Next Generation hint at her conflicting position
Eida shows clear reservations about Kawaki's position swap with Boruto in the first series, both with Kawaki in Chapter #79, and even apologizes to Boruto in Chapter #80. The way things turned out was because her subconscious feelings for Kawaki were manifesting, and her feelings about the situation could easily lead to Boruto using his abilities to reverse everything. . It was a disappointing Deus Ex Machina, and it quickly resolves a major point of tension in the series. Most importantly, it would lead to Kawaki easily redeeming himself.
Naruto is often criticized for his decision to make every villain sympathetic, giving everyone a chance at redemption, even a monster like Orochimaru. Kawaki's turn as a villain is perhaps the most interesting thing that happens in Boruto, but it also makes sense that he would never have to pay for his crimes, becoming a regrettable villain.
Boruto has expressed a desire to simply “make up” with his “brother,” and Eida's words are foreshadowing that she will contribute to eradicating Kawaki's crimes through her Omnipotence, leading to a somewhat unsatisfactory ending Boruto: Two blue tornadoes.
