Naruto’s New Sequel Will Officially Fix Boruto’s Biggest Problem

by

The new Boruto: Two Blue Vortex anime aims to avoid a common problem with the original Naruto series: excessive filler. Following Boruto: Naruto Next Generation, this series jumps forward three years in the story and is based on the Two Blue Vortex manga, which began releasing new chapters monthly in 2023. The anime, expected to premiere between 2026 and 2027, will adapt the manga closely, meaning no made-up storylines. This approach should allow the series to focus on its new main characters and continue the story seamlessly, mirroring the manga’s direction. Unlike the original Naruto, which often deviated from its source material, Two Blue Vortex promises a faithful adaptation.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Finally Passes The Baton To The New Generation

The new arc of Boruto, titled Two Blue Vortex, jumps ahead in time, so Boruto and his friends will be significantly older and more powerful. This will lead to more complex and serious storylines, moving away from simpler conflicts. Fans can expect a darker and more mature anime, similar to how Naruto Shippuden evolved from the original Naruto series.

This is exciting news for a few key reasons. The new generation of characters promises to be more engaging as they mature and move past their childish behavior. Most importantly, this change means Boruto: Two Blue Vortex won’t need to rely so much on characters from the original Naruto series.

Okay, so as a big fan of the original Naruto, I have to admit Boruto: Next Generation really relied on the old guard. Boruto and his friends just weren’t strong enough fighters on their own to carry the action, so they kept bringing Naruto, Sasuke, and the others back in to do the heavy lifting. It was supposed to be about the next generation, but honestly, the original Naruto characters ended up stealing the show. It often felt less like a fresh start and more like a watered-down continuation of the series I already loved.

The next generation of ninja in Boruto is finally strong enough to handle threats on their own. This means Naruto’s generation won’t always have to step in and save the day like they did in Shippuden, allowing for more challenging and exciting storylines focused on Boruto and his friends. This change is exactly what the series needed to move forward.

Boruto’s Best Moments Were The Ones Featuring Naruto Characters

The series Boruto has received mixed reactions as a continuation of the Naruto story. While fans have enjoyed seeing what happened to Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and their friends after Shippuden, the show’s constant switching between the original characters and their children has been a point of contention. Often, the best parts of Boruto: Naruto Next Generation involved the original Naruto characters and their battles or personal growth, which unfortunately overshadowed the storylines of their children.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex connects the original Naruto series with its sequel, allowing the newer generation of characters to take center stage with more intense battles and complex storylines. While the older generation remains important, they now play a supporting role, much like the shift we saw between Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Previous generations still had moments, but the focus remained on the main characters and their development.

Will Two Blue Vortex Save Boruto’s Legacy?

The new season, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, is expected to be more well-rounded than the previous one. However, it likely won’t fix every issue fans had with Boruto: Naruto Next Generation. Many viewers have found it difficult to move away from Naruto’s story, and while keeping him and other familiar characters involved helped ease that transition, it also overshadowed Boruto himself, making him less appealing to some.

The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga marked a real turning point for the series. It addressed the issues that made earlier Boruto stories hard to get into, offering a more mature story with higher stakes and much more excitement. Many fans agree it’s a big improvement and has revitalized the franchise. Now, everyone is wondering if the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex anime can deliver the same kind of positive change.

The new Two Blue Vortex anime has a good chance of being better than the original Boruto series, perhaps even more so than the manga was. The Boruto: Naruto Next Generation anime struggled because it included a lot of unnecessary filler episodes. Two Blue Vortex is planned to stick closely to the established storyline, which gives it a significant advantage. While it remains to be seen if this new Naruto anime will revitalize Boruto‘s popularity, it’s starting from a much stronger position.
