The Boruto manga will soon enter a new phase with a timeskip. This will show how the characters have grown and changed over the years. Fans are hyped for what’s to come!
What is the timeskip?
The timeskip was teased in the first scene of the manga and anime. It showed an older Boruto and Kawaki fighting on the ruins of Konoha, the ninja village where they live. The scene hinted at a dark and tragic future for the characters. Fans have been waiting for six years to see how it will happen.
The manga is currently on hiatus and will resume on August 21st with chapter 81. The previous chapter ended with a shocking twist. Kawaki used a Kama Rift to trap Naruto and Hinata in another dimension. He also decided to kill all the members of the Otsutsuki clan, including Boruto. He has a mark on his hand that connects him to them.
The timeskip will likely show how Boruto and Kawaki have developed their powers and personalities over the years. It will also show how their conflict will escalate to a final showdown. The new character designs show some subtle changes in their appearance, as well as some new features. Boruto has shorter hair and a scarred eye, and he also wields a sword that resembles Sasuke’s Kusanagi. Kawaki has longer hair and a new outfit that consists of a black jacket and pants with red accents. The timeskip was teased six years ago in the first scene of the manga and anime, which showed an older Boruto and Kawaki fighting on the ruins of Konoha.
How will the anime adapt the timeskip?
The anime adaptation of Boruto has also just ended its Part 1 with episode 293. It will return with Part 2 in the future. Fans are eager to see how the anime will portray the new designs and events of the manga. In the meantime, a special project will air in September 2023 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original Naruto anime. It will feature four episodes with some classic characters from the series.
