All Boruto Power Ups in two blue swirls, explained

Gets a power-up in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is a blessing from Kishimoto and Ikemoto, especially now that the series has god-like villains out to destroy the world. As fans know, Boruto Uzumaki has been rewarded with incredible power-upsand the same goes for other next generation ninjas like Sarada, Himawari and most recently Inojin Yamanaka.

Interestingly, most of the power-ups are in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex feeling handed out rather than earned, unlike in the original Naruto series, where fans can see how Naruto and Sasuke work and train hard just to get a massive upgrade. Regardless, it Boruto manga has given out crazy power-ups to many characters and here are all of them.

Boruto: Why Naruto Uzumaki will be stronger than ever after his return in two blue vortex

Naruto Uzumaki returns stronger than ever in Boruto. Fans can't wait for his return to the game.

Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan Ohirume

Sarada creates black spheres with enormous gravitational force

Sarada Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan Ohirume is an instant killing dojutsuwho uses gravity to crush her opponents before they can even react. Ohirume is Sarada's first Mangekyo Sharingan ability and yet the technique is absurdly strong even by Uchiha standards.

During Sarada's fight with Shinju Ryushe generated black spheres of immense gravitational force, allowing her to pin Ryu and crush him with overwhelming force, leaving only his thorny soul bulb. Her black spheres also allow her to levitate and fly at high speeds, much like an Otsutsuki.

As usual, with a dojutsu this strong, the downside is also severe, as Ohirume consumes Sarada's chakra so quickly that prolonged use can cause her eyes to bleed and can leave her completely drained. If Ohirume is used repeatedly, it can also lead to Sarada's blindness.

Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko

Boruto converts the Earth's rotation into Rasengan power

Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko is one of the strongest variants of the Rasengan currently. It is much more dangerous than Boruto's Vanishing Rasengan, which he normally uses in the first part of the manga. Instead of adding Lightning Release, Boruto channels both his own chakra and Earth's planetary energy, creating a Rasengan of near-limitless power in Uzuhiko.

When hit directly, Boruto's Rasengan deals continuous damage to Uzuhiko and leaves his opponents in a state of perpetual daze, just like what happened to Code. After the Rasengan Uzuhiko hit Code, his sense of balance and motor skills were severely impaired until Boruto nullified the Rasengan's effects. However, Rasengan Uzuhiko's power still depends on the amount of planetary chakra Boruto can absorb.

Boruto and Sasuke's upgraded sword

Boruto's sword gets a scientific upgrade

The sword in Boruto's possession was originally used by Sasuke Uchiha. It is actually the replacement blade for the original Sword of Kusanagi, which Sasuke used for quite some time in Naruto Shippuden. Now the sword is with Boruto, and he uses it as a medium for his chakra enhanced attacks.

At first, Boruto's sword had no special properties, but after Sumire repaired and adjusted it using scientific methods as predicted by Kashin Koji, the sword of Kusanagi has now become a scientific tool with a built-in failsafe and a mysterious material compounded to it.

The upgraded sword is so convenient for Boruto that it can passively absorb his chakra in small amounts to maintain his Uchiha Style Blade Technique: Hagoromo without requiring significant focus and attention.

Inojin's Mind Body Transmission Formation

Inojin discovers chakra signatures hidden by Shinju

Inojin Yamanaka's determination to prevent Himawari Uzumaki's death led him to master the Mind Body Transmission Formation in just one day. Through Kashin Koji's guidance, Inojin upgraded her basic Mind Body Transmission Technique just in time for Shinju Mamushi's attack in Konoha.

By using Mind Body Transmission FormationInojin can sense undetectable chakra signatures of Mamushi's clones roaming around Konoha through their unique vibrations or frequency waves. This makes it easier for everyone on Boruto's team to identify the clones' whereabouts before they can kill anyone. It also allows Inojin to connect to multiple targets simultaneously through a secure channel, completely bypassing conventional detection methods.

Kawaki without restrictions

Amado restores Kawaki's true power

As Boruto fans know, Amado installed limiters on Kawaki for survival purposes, considering he was a potential vessel for Isshiki Otsutsuki, so they need him to stay alive as much as possible. Instead of switching his battle settings to offensive, Amado prioritized defensive adjustments, regulating his true power in the process. This information had been leaked to Boruto Uzumaki, which he eventually revealed to Kawaki.

Next thing we know, Amado disables Kawaki's limitersand the results are overwhelming. During his encounter with Jura in the Land of the Wind, the adopted son of Naruto Uzumaki surprised the leader of the Shinju clones with his impressive strength, effortlessly countering attacks and even impaling him with his black staffs.

In addition, Kawaki will receive another major upgrade, as the latest chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex reveals that he forced Amado to recalibrate his settings one more time, despite the risks involved.

Himawari's healing powers

Himawari Uzumaki's current situation with Kurama is completely different from her father, Naruto. At first, everyone thought she was the Nine Tails' new jinchuriki, only to learn that she resembles Jura, the direct incarnation of a tailed beast. This is probably one of the reasons why she is incredibly compatible with Kurama, more attuned to his chakra and instincts than Naruto could ever be.

So far, fans have seen glimpses of Himawari in action while using the power of the Nine Tails in the manga. She has extraordinary healing abilities, which she can also extend to other people. Her Tailed Beast Ball is also very potent, capable of matching Jura's version of the same attack. For now, Himawari is still growing into her abilities, but fans know that sooner or later she can surpass her parents and many other shinobi in terms of power and skill.
