Boruto: Following in Naruto's Footsteps – Is This a Good Thing or a Big Mistake?
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex – A Familiar Path, But Is It the Right One?
Boruto has always borrowed heavily from the original Naruto series; this was entirely expected and acceptable from most viewers – this really highlights its origin point as that sequel; creating similarities for continuity and other nostalgic appeals. However, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex might just be taking this a bit too far, creating several extremely familiar plot moments, specifically mirroring those later sections inNaruto'sending.While some of these parallels could work nicely and have a creative, engaging plot; there are however those potential dangers and some really huge missteps; emphasizing certain areas with potentially significant risks, that need serious considerations when assessing whether this parallel was a smart idea at all!
A recent sneak peek released on the officialNaruto/Borutowebsite gave us some enormous hints! We now seeBorutoandKawakion what appears to beNaruto'sHokage statue; that opening alone is an already extremely intense and suggestive setup.
This upcoming chapter really focuses on their new confrontation. BorutowantsKawakito get stronger, suggesting that a training montage could be something viewers will encounter later, providing reasons for the shift in dynamics that these two are displaying, adding a certain anticipation which might've otherwise felt quite out of place and extremely lacking; without those obvious clues hinting at the future developments. It's also noteworthy just how much the future foreshadowing is emphasized here; highlighting its impact on their changed circumstances that create anticipation among fans regarding those very key themes: Will it remain true? Or are we going to experience additional, unexpected reveals?
Boruto and Kawaki: A Brotherly Team-Up – Mirroring Naruto and Sasuke?
The next chapter’s key storyline element highlights the potential reconciliation betweenBorutoandKawaki; this involves their agreement to fight this extremely powerful foe and hints towards various themes found throughoutNaruto– but unlike the similarities previously shown; we're given certain expectations of similarity here which emphasizes an already anticipated future confrontation between the brothers involved.
That’s similar to theFourth Great Ninja War; the reconciliation ofNarutoandSasukeafter facing down their major foes. And many will remember how deeply impactful that reunion was. Here,Borutoreveals his ability to see into the future— and there's possibly further details related toKashin Koji'sShinjutsu Prescience, suggesting other mysteries surrounding the key events from earlier episodes. TheShinjuinvasion storyline plays a key role, suggesting thatKawaki’sfuture choices also might come up during this entire chapter; highlighting this key point as pivotal for their changed attitudes which sets up the potential fight to the death.Those scenes already showcaseKawaki’sintense desire to protectNaruto; and what this implies: Even his willingness to murderBorutoif it meant eliminating those threats which he deeply feared— theTen-TailsconsumingBoruto, leading to global destruction—and this alone displays thatKawakimight help, potentially against his will!
A Dangerous Parallel: Why Boruto Shouldn’t Copy Naruto’s Ending!
This whole setup mirrors theFourth Great Ninja War; it feels very close in terms of structure, pacing and some really predictable elements, demonstrating this particular danger: relying too heavily on a prior storyline already well known by this fanbase; a mistake. And these comparisons highlight serious flaws with this creative decision.
Firstly,Kawaki'sfear ofMomoshikiruns deep– which would always make a serious confrontation betweenBorutoandKawakiinevitable— a point already suggested throughout this storyline and it adds another thematic conflict to highlight the very difficult, nuanced, emotional choices involved; this alone is already suggestive towards what viewers might experience.
That deep conflict is a key problem— they might never reconcile likeNarutoandSasuke! It meansBoruto’srepetition wouldn't offer a satisfyingly fresh story. And any attempted reconciliation would feel unearned and severely underwhelming, reducing those anticipated plot developments already created for the audiences.
Boruto’s Training Plan for Kawaki: A Double-Edged Sword!
This upcoming sneak peek is significant, showcasing that there is possibly additional information about events not revealed earlier, including additional information about Boruto's involvement, adding this particular element to a storyline not explicitly discussed before, showcasing why some training sessions with Kawaki would be entirely relevant: Kawaki'sweakness creates additional challenges, particularly in his inability to stop theShinjuinvasion, further emphasizing that BorutoneedsKawaki'spower— despite those already created problems— creating that huge anticipated team-up moment!
Boruto’splan for Kawaki? TeachKawakithose amazing skills from his future (thatKojipreviously used). That’s smart short-term. But it ultimately leaves us with that already very easily predictable issue: The exact thing we were hoping to avoid is suggested through these very points.
It might mean Borutois already seeing their eventual fight— or considers that it's necessary. Both options, already suggestive possibilities, really demonstrate how dangerous and tricky the situation actually is.
Conclusion: Will Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Diverge From Naruto's Shadow?
The recent preview forBoruto: Two Blue Vortexis suggestive towards its own upcoming future, adding immense anticipation for future events. While using a similar framework might work; emphasizing the key conflict between BorutoandKawakias being a far greater threat, compared to some other previous plotpoints throughoutBorutoalready emphasized this danger. Those already heavily suggested parallels toNaruto– those familiar scenes – really risk completely undercutting its own originality.
ButTwo Blue Vortexhas surprised everyone, those unexpected twists continue to emerge and deliver some completely new insights regarding these characters! Perhaps a divergence remains possible—creating a distinct, unique storyline. That will definitely depend upon just how much that particular creative vision, to continue this legacy; without over-relying on previously created structures from Naruto.
