It is time that people stop murking Boruto as a weak sequel to Naruto. Mikio Ikemoto has made some major changes to the series, and Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is enough proof that the series is finally getting interesting.
A major complaint regarding Boruto was the lack of villains who were as multifaceted as the ones in Naruto. But with the emergence of one character, those complaints are about to disappear.
Code is a Formidable Villain in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
Code might not be the only villain in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, but he is indeed a powerful one. Back when Code debuted in Boruto, he was already extremely powerful, and his power has only evolved after the threeyear timeskip. Code decided to attack Konoha after the time skip, despite knowing that he would face some extremely powerful people.
This can only mean that he is extremely confident in his powers and skills. Or he has a trump card up his sleeves that he refuses to reveal yet. He wanted to smoke out Boruto, which eventually happened. Code dismisses the threats posed by Boruto as he believes that his goal of consuming the chakra fruit would result in the death of the planet anyway. Code seems pretty desperate in the last few chapters but his pride has not been broken yet.
Code’s White Karma sets him apart from the other Inners of Kara. While almost every member of Kara had their bodies remodeled to gain strength, Code was different. Instead of modifications, limiters were placed in order to keep his strength in check and to avoid the undermining of Jigen’s leader position. This could mean that Mikio Ikemoto is reserving Code for a huge battle.
Mikio Ikemoto Might Create an Akatsuki-Level Code
The Akatsuki in Naruto were a group of shinobi that existed outside the Konohagakure village. Some of the most terrifying villains of Naruto belonged to the Akatsuki, including Nagato, Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Orochimaru, Hidan, and others. Needless to say, the Akatsukis played a huge role in Naruto, and the beautifully developed villains are sorely missed in Boruto.
However, Mikio Ikemoto might have created Code as a proper answer to the Akatsuki. Ikemoto is currently in control of Boruto and its developments and Masashi Kishimoto has very little input for the plot. But given that Ikemoto has helped Kishimoto for a long time during Naruto’s serialization and production, he knows Kishimoto’s pattern the best.
If Code were as weak of a character as everyone had presumed, Ikemoto would have finished him off already. However, the character still persists, and that could be because Ikemoto has something more in store for him. Code could become extremely powerful in the upcoming chapters and even become the ultimate antagonist that both Kawaki and Boruto would struggle to finish off.
The Boruto manga is available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
