Highlights
Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Boruto manga after a long hiatus, as there is no anime to fill the content gap.
The upcoming chapter will feature fresh character designs, particularly the timeskip versions, showcasing the characters' growth.
The storyline will revolve around Code's pursuit to attain godhood, his vendetta against Kawaki, and the potential clash between Boruto and Sasuke as they come back more powerful following four years of training.
Fans of Boruto are eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 81, as the manga has been on hiatus for several months. Additionally, there is no ongoing anime to satisfy fans' cravings for content. The recent Minato one-shot provided a brief glimpse into the Narutoverse, but fans are excited for Boruto's return and the buzz surrounding chapter 81 is palpable.
New Designs For The Fans To See
The previous chapter of Boruto heavily focused on the upcoming timeskip, which fans have known about since the beginning of the story. The manga's prologue showcased an older Boruto Uzumaki battling Kawaki atop the Hokage faces, with Konoha in ruins. This sparked fan speculation about what had occurred and the fate of the 7th Hokage. As the story nears this point, fans are now aware that Naruto Uzumaki is trapped in another dimension, and Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto will attempt to rescue him after extensive training.
What's more, fans can anticipate seeing new character designs, particularly for the timeskip. These designs not only illustrate character growth but also generate excitement for fans. The appearance of Boruto Uzumaki in the timeskip has already been revealed in the series' prologue, as well as the design for Kawaki. Furthermore, fans have been treated to numerous illustrations featuring these two characters in their timeskip forms.
Villains On The Move
Boruto recently treated fans to a sneak peek at Sarada Uchiha's new look after a timeskip, thanks to the promotion for the highly anticipated Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga. Meanwhile, there is a great deal of curiosity among fans to witness the character designs of various ninjas from both the new and old generations.
Boruto chapter 81 is set to unveil the remarkable designs to avid fans. In addition to this, it will also provide a glimpse into crucial plot developments, particularly pertaining to Code. Code, driven by his desire to ascend to godhood like Shibai Otsutsuki, is on a mission to carry out Isshiki's will. Moreover, he harbors a personal grudge against Kawaki and is hell-bent on obliterating Konoha. However, due to certain circumstances, he was unable to execute his plan before the timeskip.
After four years, fans will finally witness the extent of Code's increased strength as he possibly travels from one planet to another in his quest for further power. Whether or not he has consumed numerous chakra fruits as instructed will be revealed in Boruto chapter 81.
Simultaneously, readers will also catch a glimpse of Kawaki, who, although not truly a villain, will adopt an antagonistic role in the future of Boruto. Having taken away Boruto's life and aiming to end it, Kawaki has grown immensely powerful just like his counterpart. In the upcoming chapter, fans will undoubtedly witness his enjoyment in living as the son of the 7th Hokage, a life he snatched from Boruto Uzumaki.
Boruto and Sasuke's Return?
With the return from the timeskip in any series, the focus naturally shifts towards the protagonist. Just like when Naruto Uzumaki came back, the first chapter of Boruto will once again revolve around the main character. As the central figure in the series, it is time for Boruto Uzumaki to showcase his growth and acquired skills. In chapter 81, the spotlight will be on Boruto and Sasuke's return, in one way or another.
Over the course of four years, these two individuals have dedicated themselves to training, striving to become stronger and overcome the challenges they face. While Naruto Uzumaki remains imprisoned and Kawaki continues to pose a threat, their journeys towards resolution required them to enhance their abilities. It will be fascinating to witness the fruits of their efforts in Boruto chapter 81.
A Glimpse Of Naruto and Hinata
is about the uncertainty of whether Boruto and Sasuke will return to Konoha. Boruto is likely unable to due to being seen as a villain, while Sasuke might have the possibility. However, Sasuke's actions protecting the man who killed the Seventh Hokage might also label him as a villain. The future whereabouts of Boruto and Sasuke are unknown and can only be revealed in Boruto chapter 81. The anticipation surrounding this chapter increases, as fans eagerly await to see how the story progresses.
Although not guaranteed, Boruto chapter 81 may offer fans a glimpse of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga. As fans are aware, Kawaki had sealed both of these characters towards the end of the initial part of Boruto. He took this action to prevent their interference in his mission to eliminate Boruto Uzumaki, who is technically an Otsutsuki and a perceived threat to Naruto and the village he protects. Despite Kawaki's intentions coming from a good place, his actions are undoubtedly misguided. In Boruto chapter 81, Naruto and Hinata would have been sealed for four years, yet they would not have aged a single day due to the absence of time flow in the dimension of Daikokuten.
If fortunate, fans may catch a glimpse of Naruto and Hinata in Boruto chapter 81. Perhaps, the writers may even construct a compelling storyline for these two characters within the alternate dimension, considering Naruto's unwavering strength and potential for escape. In the event that this does not occur, fans still hold hope for their appearance in the chapter, at the bare minimum.
Boruto's sequel is titled Boruto: Two Blue Vortex and is scheduled for release later this month. Fans anticipate the chapter to be available on August 20, 2023.
As always, the Boruto manga can be read for free on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump.
