The otsutsuki clan became Boruto's biggest puzzle. More than cosmic antagonists, they directly influence the protagonist's fate, now linked to Momoshiki. But clues left along the plot suggest that the group is not as uniform as it seems. The existence of Shibai and the absence of his partner point to a possible internal division not yet revealed.
Since Naruto, the narrative revolves around opposite forces. Light and shadow, friendship and rivalry, conflict and reconciliation. However, the same concept can be valid for otsutsuki. The presence of figures like Hagoromo and Hamura indicates that not all follow the same destructive path. Thus, Boruto may be the key to revealing this duality and giving a new direction to the story.
Otsutsuki clan is a centerpiece in the new phase of the franchise
The presence of otsutsuki in Boruto is neither casual nor decorative. From the beginning, they occupy the main threat post of the plot. The evolution of the protagonist by merging with Momoshiki confirms the centrality of this lineage. With powers beyond human understanding and plans of planetary domination, the group has imposed itself as almost divine force.
However, the signs that there is more to explore on them are growing. In particular, the character Shibai Otsutsuki, quoted as the most powerful of all, raises unanswered questions. However, even without physically appearing in the manga, its existence is treated with reverence and mystery. This suggests that there is still room for a new layer in the construction of the clan.
Duality is a constant mark in Naruto and Boruto
The philosophy behind the ninja universe has always worked with the idea of opposites. Naruto and Sasuke are the clearest example of this. Each represents one side of the same coin and this tension has moved the story for years. Before them, Hashirama and Madara already symbolized this same dynamic of confrontation and contrast.
In otsutsuki, despite the tendency to selfishness and destruction, there are also nuances. Hagoromo and Hamura, sons of Kaguya, chose another way. In addition, they showed that the lineage can produce figures aimed at harmony. This opens room for the story to present a new character or a new group within the clan with different intentions.
Mysterious character can change course of the narrative
Among the six pillars mentioned in the plot, only five were revealed. The absence of the sixth may be more than a forgotten detail. There are speculation that Shibai was traveling with a partner, as is tradition among otsutsuki. The non -revelation of this figure may mean that it has abandoned the objectives of the original clan or chose a divergent path. Thus, it may end up appearing in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
This possible dissident would play an important role in reformulating the concept of the clan. In addition, he could establish an internal counterpoint between the Otsutsuki themselves. Such a revelation would make sense within the narrative logic already consolidated. The presence of balance between extremes would not be new and would help to expand the mythology of the series.
Karma can be a tool for destruction or redemption
The brand of Karma has been one of the main elements of Boruto's history. It represents a direct link with the Otsutsuki, and carry huge symbolic weight. Used so far as an instrument of domination, this ability can have another face. If manipulated differently, it could become a reconstruction tool.
The positive use of karma would connect the protagonist's fate with a possible rupture in the tradition of otsutsuki. Instead of just fighting the threat, Boruto could incorporate part of its essence and resignify it. This movement would marry the character's trajectory and make room for a new approach to the central conflict.
Conclusion indicates that the saga can follow unexpected
The future of Boruto's narrative remains open and surrounded by uncertainties. However, the introduction of new sides within the otsutsuki clan is a real possibility. In addition, this fits the pattern of duality present throughout the franchise. It also offers a creative exit for the continuity of the series without repeating the same confrontations.
The presence of an otsutsuki with an opposite view of the others can renew the plot. In addition, it allows us to explore topics such as reconciliation and transformation more deeply. If confirmed, this new path can redefine Boruto's role in the ninja universe and give history new life.
