Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has been developing at a chaotically rapid pace, and the recent installment was one of the most layered narratives so far. With that, there is one theory that is gaining attention among fans that is if Boruto might fall into Code’s trap. Although even if he is, there is no confirmation whether he is doing this knowingly or unknowingly. But instead of being a simple mistake, this act could actually be the key to saving everyone in Konoha.
At first glance, this sounds like a normal shonen misstep where the main character gets baited. And they end up having to pay a prince for taking an action based on emotions. But in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the story has been consistently surprising readers by going beyond fan expectations. Especially how it handles strategy, talks about consequences, and even character development. That is why this particular theory starts making sense.
As the battlefield in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 33 is spiralling out of control, the Mamushi’s clones have been endlessly cloning themselves. It managed to exhaust even the top-tier fights, and they also had the immense pressure of protecting Eida. It created a scenario where even the strongest shibobi were pushed beyond their limit.
On top of that, we have Sarada Uchiha, who is unconscious and in an incredibly vulnerable state, and Hidari remains an active threat. From this point, things start to get interesting. If Boruto chooses to stay on this battlefield his would be able to maintain his attention in one place because he needs to:
- Protect Sarada
- Defend Eida
- Fight off endless clones
- Anticipate Hidari
Pulling off all these things at the same time is an impossible feat for someone like him.
Code entering the scene is the perfect distraction
Now it is important to talk about Code because in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, all this time, the fandom has been making fun of him. But if we look at his overall personality is written in a way that his inclusion makes sense. This character is extremely unpredictable, desperate, and obsessed with the protagonist.
If he has laid a trap, it would not just be to gain victory but to ensure that Boruto is isolated. And that is where this new fan theory clicks: What if Bourto falling into Code’s trap is not a sign of failure, but rather an important diversion.
If the author pulls our main character away from the battlefield, the following things could happen:
- Boruto is no longer forced to split focus
- The battlefield simplifies into smaller conflicts
- Sarada and Hidari’s confrontation can unfold without interference
This means that Boruto vs Code will be a separate battle that will take place in a different location, where our main character will get the spotlight he deserves. Meanwhile, the others can continue with the battle separately. So everyone gets to shine in the end.
A pattern in Ikemoto’s writing in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
In conclusion, fans have noticed a pattern with Ikemoto’s storytelling. This creator gives side characters important and meaningful moments. The biggest example is the inclusion of Inojin Yamanaka. He has been the biggest asset since the Mamushi’s threat started.
From learning a new type of jutsu to taking charge of the battlefield was the least expected from him. Where strong characters like Sarada, Boruto, and Kawakii are seemingly exhausted, he is still standing. This is a huge shift from earlier arcs, where the main characters dominated every critical moment.
If that trend continues, then our protagonist in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex stepping away from the central conflict makes even more sense. It allows other characters to step into the spotlight. In the end, this means that Boruto doesn’t lose relevance; he just moves to a different battlefield.
Final thoughts
The idea that Boruto might fall into Code’s trap sounds like a loss on paper, but in reality, it could be the smartest narrative move in this series. It is not always about winning every fight; it is more important to be in the right place at the right time.
