I'm loving this.

I don't know if we're supposed to read it as he's keeping it all inside or he's truly taking on Kawaki's personality and role in the story.

Even though Mitsuki was under the affect of Omnipotence, he made an effort to reach out to him, to show his true personality despite his role. He is NOT doing that with Inojin.

ShearBolt @shearbolt.bsky.social · 1d

It could also be an extension of Boruto's stoic exterior, that he's keeping everything inside right now. But it's also not hard to read this as deeply sad. For the first time in three years, he's seeing old friends again, and not connecting with them on any level.

ShearBolt @shearbolt.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, there are lots of additional circumstances going on beyond his relationship with Inojin: He's playing the role of Kawaki and knows that's who Inojin *thinks* he is due to Omnipotence. His classmate just admitted to having a crush on his little sister. He's having a spat with Koji.

NNG Boruto was undeniably a social creature, the center of his academy class. Here, we see him pointedly ignoring Inojin, looking the other way, bored.

Inojin: Secretly communicating outside of the sensory unit's purview, without following procedure and smack in the middle of a meeting among Konoha's top brass, no less? When personal use of mind transmission is prohibited? Is this how you guys always operate? I don't know how many rules you broke just now.

Boruto *bored bitch face*

ShearBolt @shearbolt.bsky.social · 1d

I think Inojin was the first character to explicitly call out Boruto's privilege to his face, that he'd have been treated harshly if the wasn't the Hokage's son. Now, Boruto is existing in a world where he *isn't* the Hokage's son and is living under the consequences Kawaki would have faced.

I've been thinking a lot about Boruto's interaction with Inojin in chapter 26 in relation to this clip from their first day at the ninja academy.

It is wildly insane how much drip Boruto is being drawn with in Two Blue Vortex Chapter #26. Good LORD

Julie🍉 @julieybm.bsky.social · 2d

Reading each new chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex reminds me exactly of how it felt reading Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. These two titles are like the anti-Dragon Ball Super. Whereas most sequel series wish to replay the greatest hits with the original characters, Boruto has no issue eschewing

It has always felt like the Boruto series is in conversation with the Naruto series, testing Sasuke's thesis at the end of the last chapter to see if it can hold up under non-shinobi circumstances.

(And I love it)

ShearBolt @shearbolt.bsky.social · 1d

I love how so many of the main characters seem to be deeply influenced by Naruto's love: Kawaki, Sarada, Boruto, Hinawari. It manages to focus on the new gen cast while still being rooted in Naruto's ideology.

Honestly I can definitely see the Boruto anime doing these funny chibi skits with Jura, just like how the Demon Slayer anime does it funny chibi skits!

"Dear Diary,

Today, I ate Dango for the first time. I did quite like it, however, everyone was staring at me, so I'm guessing I did something wrong. None of the books I obtained so far explained how to do it properly though, so I will have to investigate further. Maybe in a dango-making class?"
