The leaks for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4, scheduled to release on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, have begun surfacing. Unlike the previous chapters that focused on Boruto, Sarada, and Himawari, the upcoming chapter's cover will showcase Kawaki.
In the previous chapter, Boruto unveiled his latest Rasengan technique called Uzuhiko. When he used it against Code, the user of White Karma, Code became disoriented and hurriedly returned to the Ten-Tails' whereabouts. Luckily, Boruto had planted a toad on Code, enabling him to monitor Code's position and determine the Tailed Beast's location.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4 leak unveils Kawaki's complete character design in color
There have been recent spoilers and leaks for chapter 4 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and the online manga series leakers on X have unveiled the cover art for the upcoming chapter. The cover art showcases the post-time skip outfit of Kawaki Uzumaki through an illustration.
Fans had previously spotted a colored illustration of Kawaki on the cover of V Jump magazine. They were convinced that his undershirt was blue, but it was wrongly shown as violet on the cover. However, a recent leak has confirmed that Kawaki's outfit color has been changed. It is believed that the manga creator, Mikio Ikemoto, made this correction to avoid repeating the same mistake. Moving on to Kawaki's pose, he appears relaxed with one hand in his pocket, while his gaze is directed downwards. However, fans found his facial expression to be awful.

Boruto enthusiasts had contrasting responses upon viewing the cover of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4. Numerous fans expressed disapproval towards Kawaki's updated character design. However, their perspective changed upon witnessing the new illustration, as it convincingly portrayed the character as considerably fierce and impressive.
Conversely, some fans were not fond of the character's fresh appearance. They preferred his original design over the new one, and consequently, desired manga artist Mikio Ikemoto to revert the character back to his previous attire. These fans even argued that the new attire gave Kawaki the appearance of being homeless.
Fans had a mixed response to Kawaki's outfit, with some expressing dissatisfaction with the cover art of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4. They found it peculiar and felt that it did not meet the same standards as the previous chapters. The fans attributed this to Kawaki's unfavorable facial expression and the mismatched colors of the chapter cover, particularly the new undershirt color.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Boruto series, I am thrilled to see Kawaki take center stage in chapter 4 of the Two Blue Vortex arc. The leaked cover art reveals a captivating character design that has left me buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Kawaki's post-time skip outfit, illustrated in full color, showcases his unique style and personality. I particularly appreciate the intricate details in his attire, such as the intricate embroidery on his jacket and the sleek design of his headband.
However, I understand that not all fans share my enthusiasm for Kawaki's updated character design. Some have expressed disapproval towards his new outfit, arguing that it makes him appear homeless or lacks the same level of polish as previous chapter covers. While I respect their opinions, I believe that the new design effectively portrays Kawaki's growth and evolution as a character. The relaxed pose and downward gaze convey a sense of confidence and maturity that aligns with his development throughout the series.
