Apparently, this is the first blow that manages to break through Jura's supernatural resistance. This raises questions about the true limits of his body and Boruto's real chances of defeating him.
Boruto surprises Jura by using a rare technique in the middle of a fight
During the direct confrontation, Jura manages to block Boruto's movements by grabbing the arm in which the young man wields his katana. It is at this moment that Boruto activates Shiden (Purple Lightning), releasing a devastating electrical discharge, and for the first time, Jura demonstrates that he feels the effects of the attack.
The villain's reaction suggests that Shiden may be one of the few techniques capable of harming him. Until now, direct attacks like Uzuhiko's Rasengan and wind manipulation had not had a lasting effect. Furthermore, the fact that Jura is now affected opens a new perspective on the outcome of the battle.
Beware the Purple Lightning: a key to the future of fighting?
The Purple Lightning, previously used by Kakashi Hatake and inherited by Boruto, is no ordinary technique. Besides requiring absolute control of lightning chakra, its effective use in the field indicates a new stage in the protagonist's development.
If Shiden is indeed one of the few techniques capable of hitting Jura, then from chapter 23 onwards the narrative focus may shift to the pursuit of improving this technique, or creating new ways to apply it in combination with Rasengan or elemental jutsus.
Recap: what happened in the previous chapter
In chapter 22 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, Boruto faced Jura alone, trying to prevent the villain from reaching allies like Konohamaru and Sarada. During the fight, he used strategies such as preparing the field with shurikens and teleportation traps. Jura, in turn, showed absolute control of the terrain, using wood techniques and even launching a Bijūdama, which forced Boruto to protect the others at the cost of his own advantage.
Even after using Uzuhiko's powerful Rasengan, Boruto saw Jura get up unharmed, which generated a feeling of despair, now confronted by the unexpected effectiveness of the Purple Lightning.
