Boruto: Kishimoto Drops Hints About the Final Villain And It Might Be the Series' Biggest Plot Twist

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.

The biggest villain in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex now is Jura, the direct incarnation of the juvenile Ten-Tails. He unexpectedly replaced Code in terrorizing Boruto and friends, bringing a level of power that surpasses anything that Boruto has faced so far. He is also a fan-favorite villain, admired for his power, sentience, and curiosity.

However, no matter how great a villain Jura is, fans are more excited about the debut of the final villain in Boruto. Speculation has been rampant, with fans nominating Shibai Otsutsuki, Kawaki, or even Naruto as potential candidates. But with the current direction of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it seems like Kishimoto has chosen a very familiar face to become the ultimate antagonist.

Jura Is the Villain to Defeat in Boruto Now

It Will Be Difficult to Take Down Jura

Jura is the strongest character alive in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex as of chapter 25.
Jura is far superior to Boruto and Kawaki combined.

At the moment, Boruto Uzumaki’s number one priority is defeating Jura. Fans have witnessed glimpses of Jura’s power, and it’s clear that the leader of the Shinju Clones poses a threat unlike any Boruto has faced before. Not only did Jura attack Himawari in Konoha, but he is also targeting Naruto Uzumaki, not to talk to him but to consume him. With such a formidable enemy on the loose, Boruto will need to double his efforts and push his abilities beyond limits to guarantee his family’s safety.

Among the characters, Boruto and Kawaki are the only ones with a fighting chance to take down Jura, especially after Naruto was sealed and Sasuke has been turned into a tree. They had a chance to fight Jura in the Land of the Wind, but fans knew they weren’t an equal match to the overwhelming power of the Shinju leader. Teaming up was the best option, but they still need more strength, strategy, and perhaps an unexpected ally to stand a chance.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki might be that unexpected ally who will help take down Jura with his immense power. Fans know how powerful Momoshiki is when he takes control of Boruto’s body, making him a potential game-changing force in the inevitable rematch with Jura sometime in the future. Dealing with Momoshiki will be a double-edged sword, but Boruto seems to believe it might be worth the risk.

BoruShiki Might Be Boruto’s Final Villain

Boruto Strikes a Deal With Momoshiki

Boruto offered Momoshiki a tempting deal, where the latter could gain complete control of the former’s body.
Momoshiki Otsutsuki controlling Boruto’s body and becoming the final villain might be possible.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 25 presented hints about the possible identity of the final villain in the series. The chapter showed Boruto Uzumaki striking a deal with Momoshiki Otsutsuki, raising questions about how this possible alliance could impact the battles to come in the series. And so far, it seems like BoruShiki, the fusion of Boruto and Momoshiki, could be that final villain, making it the biggest plot twist where Boruto himself becomes the greatest threat to the world.

If this theory holds true, the ominous prologue in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, where Kawaki intended to send Boruto to the same place he sent the Seventh Hokage, might finally make sense. Fans know Kawaki sealed Naruto, and he might be preparing to force Boruto down a similar path, knowing Momoshiki Otsutsuki could gain full control of Boruto after Jura has been taken down.

Could you… consider… lending me a hand? —Boruto to Momoshiki

Of course, nothing is certain in Boruto, as the manga has been unpredictable, with twists and turns that keep fans guessing about who will rise as the next villain. After all, Momoshiki still has a chance to decline Boruto’s tempting deal in the succeeding chapters, which could keep Boruto on the path of a hero rather than a threat to the world.

Potential Final Villains in Boruto

Other Contenders

Other than Boruto himself, fans have long speculated that Kawaki will become the final villain of the series. However, Kawaki being the final villain might not carry the same shock factor, given how long fans have been speculating about his ultimate role.

On the other hand, some fans believe Shibai Otsutsuki will later become the final villain, much like how Kaguya Otsutsuki served as the ultimate threat, posing a god-level danger that could challenge the strongest ninjas in the series. Still, it’s also possible that a different villain will emerge entirely, one that fans haven’t yet considered.
