In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the protagonist has been in one of his strongest and most authentic moments since the beginning of the series. After years of being criticized for depending on the power of Karma and the constant interference of Momoshiki Otsutsuki, the new Boruto is more mature, determined and, above all, aware of its limits and goals.

However, even with this evident growth, the shadow of Momoshiki continues to hang over him. And now, with the plot walking for even more dangerous clashes, it seems that the villain may be about to return in a decisive moment.
Momoshiki's silence is not a sign of weakness
Since Boruto and Sasuke fled Vila da Folha, Momoshiki has just disappeared from the narrative, which caused strangeness among the most attentive fans. His last striking moment was during the dramatic events of Boruto chapter 80: Naruto Next Generations, when he tried to break the protagonist's spirit after Kawaki's betrayal and Eida's manipulation. Even in the face of pain and chaos, Boruto did not give in. He remained firm, refusing to give his body to Momoshiki, which forced the villain to shut up, but only for now.
What many readers do not realize is that this silence is strategic. Momoshiki is far from giving up. Its calculating and opportunistic nature makes it dangerous by waiting for the ideal time to act. The absence of his visual presence in the manga does not mean that he has been defeated, but that he is lurking, observing and waiting for the perfect gap to take control.
Boruto evolved, but is not yet free
After the traumatic events of the past, Boruto underwent an intense process of training under Sasuke's guidance. Not only did he enhance his skills but also strengthened his mind, creating greater resistance against possible Momoshiki interference. Alongside enigmatic figures such as Kashin Koji, Boruto dominated new techniques and gained clarity about the type of ninja he wants to become.
Nevertheless, the bond between him and Momoshiki continues to exist. No matter how much Boruto grows, the threat of losing control over his body never disappears completely. This is especially relevant now, when the surrounding dangers are more present than ever.
Jura and the Shinju: the battle that can arouse the worst enemy
In chapter 21 of the manga, we see Boruto heading to the land of the wind to save Konohamaru from a direct confrontation against Shinju Matsuri. Even with Kashin Koji's warnings not to get involved, Boruto decides to act. This decision, although heroic, can be expensive. Swear, the strongest of the Shinju clones, becomes aware of the movement and prepares to intervene.
This threat puts Boruto in an extremely vulnerable position. Jura is described as capable of eliminating everything by what Boruto has fought so far. And it is precisely in this scenario that Momoshiki can take the opportunity. If Boruto is about to die, the villain will not hesitate to take control of his body to ensure his own survival. After all, if Boruto dies, he dies together.
Momoshiki may not be the only surprise factor
Although Momoshiki's return is increasingly likely, the manga may still surprise with other elements. Characters like Kawaki, Code, Sarada and even Kashin Koji have not yet shown their full potential in this new phase. Any of them can intervene in the decisive confrontation against Jura, which can completely alter the course of the story.
Therefore, even if the indications point to Momoshiki's awakening, there is still room for twists. Boruto's balance of forces: Two Blue Vortex is unstable, and this keeps readers alert with each new chapter.
Prepare for chapter 22
Scheduled for release on May 20, 2025, Boruto Chapter 22: Two Blue Vortex has everything to be a watershed. Fans are eager to find out if Momoshiki will finally leave the shadows or if young Uzumaki will face Jura without giving in to his dark destination. One thing is certain: the true conflict is not only on the battlefield, but within Boruto's mind.
