Boruto’s Failure in Chapter 26? Boruto Two Blue Vortex
Boruto Chapter 26 Explained: Code, Amado, and Koji’s Fate
Boruto Two Blue Vortex has been steadily building toward explosive revelations, and Chapter 26 looks like the moment where long-hidden secrets may finally come to light. With Amado’s manipulations, Code’s thirst for revenge, and Kashin Koji’s uncertain fate, the story is on the brink of a dramatic shift. Let’s break down what’s really happening and what might unfold in the next chapter.
The Web of Connections: Code, Boruto, and Amado
The recent developments suggest that the Shinjutsu Boruto broke through could reveal the deeper ties between Code, Boruto, and Amado. While Code and Amado seem like enemies on separate paths—one consumed by revenge, the other posing as a loyal ally in Konoha—both are entangled in a larger, more sinister plan.
- Code remains alive and dangerous, perhaps because someone benefits from keeping him around.
- Amado has embedded himself into Konoha’s inner circle but continues to carry the aura of mistrust. His true intentions may be far darker than they appear.
The possibility looms that Amado is still pulling the strings from the shadows, using Code as nothing more than a pawn.
Amado: The Fox in the Shadows
From the start, Amado has been portrayed as a manipulator. Shikamaru doesn’t trust him, Eida despises him, and Kawaki sees him with contempt. Even Kashin Koji, his former ally in Kara, never fully trusted him.
Fans have long speculated that Amado operates like a kitsune from Japanese folklore—a sly trickster who thrives on illusions and deception. He stirs chaos, only to swoop in as the “savior,” ensuring that others remain dependent on him.
Evidence of his manipulation is everywhere:
- Spying through summons during Koji’s battle with Jigen.
- Embedding cybernetic eyes in Delta and Kawaki.
- Possibly monitoring all of Kara’s creations through hidden tech.
If Amado could see the world through Code’s eyes all this time, his silence about Code’s actions becomes alarming. Did he truly not know—or did he simply allow events to unfold for his own gain?
Why Keep Code Alive?
Two explanations stand out:
- Convenient Cover: Amado pretends it was unnecessary since Konoha had Eida and her Senrigan to track Code.
- Code as a Useful Tool: Amado sees Code as predictable, controllable, and expendable—a weapon to be pointed in the right direction when the time comes.
Ultimately, all of Amado’s schemes circle back to one obsession: resurrecting his daughter, Akebi. For that goal, he’s willing to sacrifice lives, sow chaos, and even risk creating a new monster he can’t control.
Kashin Koji: Free Will vs. Fatalism
The looming clash between Kashin Koji and Code represents more than just a battle. It’s a symbolic fight between two philosophies:
- Koji – Free Will: As Jiraiya’s clone, he was destined to die fulfilling his mission. But by awakening Shinjutsu, he broke free from fate, embodying free will.
- Code – Fatalism: Born to be Isshiki’s vessel but deemed unworthy, he has lived as a pawn to stronger forces. He represents submission to fate.
If Code defeats Koji, it will mark his transformation from “eternal loser” to true player on the board.
A Tragic Parallel to Jiraiya
The parallels between Jiraiya’s death and Koji’s possible fate are striking. Jiraiya fell to Nagato, an Uzumaki with red hair who later turned white. Code, too, originally had red hair—a possible sign of Uzumaki lineage.
If Code truly carries Uzumaki blood, Koji’s death at his hands would echo Jiraiya’s fate in a chilling, twisted repetition of history.
Rescue Mission and Possible Scenarios
Hints from the manga suggest a rescue mission for Kashin Koji is on the horizon, involving Team 10, Konohamaru, and Himawari. But what will happen when they face Code?
Here are three possible scenarios—similar to the emotional intensity we saw when Sarada awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan in Chapter 20:
- Inojin’s Unexpected Heroics – Koji’s foresight fails, but Inojin saves him using Mind Transfer Jutsu, proving even “weaker” jutsu can change destiny.
- Himawari Awakens the Golden Byakugan – She uncovers Code’s true Uzumaki origin, preventing Koji’s death and shifting the battle into a clash of bloodlines.
- Koji’s Strategic Trap – Koji allows fragments of his foresight to fall into Code’s hands, setting up a long-term trap while surviving the fight.
Each outcome reshapes Code’s role, moving him away from being comic relief and into the spotlight as a terrifying new villain.
The Inevitable Chaos Ahead
If Code consumes the chakra fruit, his evolution could make him one of the most dangerous threats the shinobi world has ever faced. Ironically, Amado’s decision to keep him alive may backfire, creating a monster even he cannot control.
The stage is set—as previously explored in our Two Blue Vortex latest chapters & analysis overview—Code is on the verge of transformation:
- Koji’s life hangs in the balance.
- Code is on the verge of transformation.
- Amado’s schemes threaten to unravel.
The battle for Kashin Koji’s fate could decide not just the future of Boruto, but the future of the entire shinobi world.
Final Thoughts
Chapter 26 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex promises explosive revelations and emotional battles—building on the momentum from Chapter 23: The Strong. Will Code kill Jiraiya’s clone, repeating history? Will Himawari’s power awaken? And is Amado truly the ultimate puppet master—or just a man blinded by grief, leading everyone to ruin?
One thing is certain: the next chapter will change everything.
