Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to excite the fans each month, and with a new arc now having begun, a lot of characters are getting the attention of the author. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 25 turned attention towards Sarada Uchiha and Sumire, and that was great for the fans to see. But, the character that piqued the interest of most Boruto fans is Himawari Uzumaki.
Boruto: Kishimoto Just Dropped A Big Hint About Boruto Uzumaki's Final Romantic Relationship
The Boruto series isn't focused on romance, but Kishimoto just revealed a big hint concerning Boruto's endgame partner.
Ikemoto and Kishimoto made sure to turn special attention to Himawari, and it was practically confirmed by the author that she has a secret power hidden inside her. Fans already know that Himawari Uzumaki has Kurama inside of her, but up until now, most fans assumed that Himawari is the Jinchuriki of Kurama. Boruto authors have now gone out of their way to say that Himawari Uzumaki is not a Jinchuriki, but something much stronger — the incarnation of a Tailed Beast itself.
Himawari Uzumaki Is Not A Jinchuriki But A Tailed Beast Incarnation
Naruto Uzumaki Was Simply A Jinchuriki
- Himawari Is Stronger Than A Jinchuriki
- She And Jura Are Very Similar
Himawari Uzumaki is one of the most important characters in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and that goes without saying. It seems the authors want an even more elaborate role for her, based on the latest developments in the story. Himawari Uzumaki was finally integrated into the plot when she was given the power of Kurama. As fans saw in the early parts of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Himawari has Kurama inside of her now. But, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex went on to state a very important difference between her and Naruto Uzumaki. Himawari Uzumaki is not a Jinchuriki, and this has now been clarified by the author.
Himawari, you're not a Jinchuriki. You're more like Jura. — Kurama
August 24 Will Be A Sad Day For Boruto Fans
Boruto fans are in for some disappointing news very soon, on August 24.
Instead, Himawari Uzumaki is actually a Tailed Beast Incarnation, or a Human Tailed Beast, simply put. Kurama was never sealed inside Himawari and there is no seal that Himawari carries on her body. Kurama also doesn't exist as a separate entity inside Himawari Uzumaki. In other words, Himawari isn't a vessel, but the entity itself. It seems that some of Kurama's chakra was left inside Himawari upon her conception, and now that Kurama died, his soul reincarnated within her, making him and Himawari one body, one soul, or in other words, a Tailed Beast Incarnation.
Himawari Has Much Higher Potential Than Naruto Uzumaki
Kurama And Himawari Are One Entity
Given the latest development surrounding Himawari Uzumaki, it can now be said that she has a much higher ceiling than Naruto Uzumaki. Himawari isn't a Jinchuriki, which means there's no need to worry about things like chakra transfer or compatibility. She exists as Kurama in human form. All of Kurama's chakra is Himawari’s and all of his power is hers as well.
I have the most compatibility with you, even more than Naruto. — Kurama
Himawari is already a Tailed Beast level threat, but what's even crazier is that she is only going to grow more. As Kurama said himself, Himawari is just like Jura, and both of them are Tailed Beasts in human form. Just as Jura has potential for growth, so goes Himawari, which means that she will continue to surpass limits and potential even grow stronger than Naruto Uzumaki.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 26 is set for its official release on September 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
