While boruto And Attack the giant rarely mentioned in the same sentence, the recent revelation of Eida’s omnipotence suggests that the two manga are more similar than fans thought. While Eren and Ymir’s Titan powers in Attack on Titan are inherently tragic, Boruto’s version has some equally dark implications.
The connection that the two stories share is not only in the God-like powers that the two characters, namely Eida in Boruto and Ymir Fritz in Attack on Titan, but also in the circumstances in which they are “forced” to be. use. their powers. The connection is so deep that Eida and Ymir will inevitably realize their own tragic situations are reflected in each other’s stories. Both possessed tremendous power in their youth that they didn’t really understand. Then both fall in love with people who don’t reciprocate their feelings but just use their love as a way to access great power and use that power to their advantage.
Boruto’s Eida & Attack on Titan’s Ymir are each other’s dark mirror
In Masashi Kishimoto’s Boruto Chapter 79, fans are informed of a new element to Eida’s already extraordinary, if rarely used, powers. The power upgrade is known as “Almighty”, which Momoshiki describes as one of the strongest shinjutsu, or “heavenly techniques” of the Otsutsuki Clan. Eida obtained possession of it due to Amado using Shibai Otsutsuki’s DNA during his cyborg transformation. While the full extent of how the Almighty extended Eida’s broken powers in Boruto is still unclear, what is clear is that it allows her to access the minds of people who are susceptible to the effects of brute force. her powers of persuasion, and literally adding, removing, or manipulating them. thinking to believe whatever she wants them to believe. At Kawaki’s request, she used her powers to make Konoha believe, deep in their hearts, that Boruto was the existential threat they initially thought was Kawaki.
Similarly, in Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan after Ymir Fritz linked up with the creature in the lake beneath the tree she sought refuge during the Eldian attack on her village, she evolved. the power of a Titan. After her death, she was able to control anyone in her bloodline from Coordinates – a place in the afterlife where life and death lie. From there, she uses her powers to command her bloodline according to her interpretation of whether this is what her lover King Fritz desires. She maintained this way of acting for hundreds of years even after King Fritz’s death because she believed it was an expression of her continued love for him.
Eida and Ymir are enslaved to their love and then forced by their love to literally change their world. They both allow this to happen not because of their inherently evil nature, but because they believe it shows their love and affection. Ultimately, Ymir’s abuse of power led to the deaths of millions in Attack in Titan. IN Boruto, while Eida’s power is capable of doing much worse, not only to Konoha village but the whole world. Hopefully, someone in boruto able to break Kawaki’s grip on her before the results reach epic proportions as they did in Attack the giant.
