When “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” concluded its second chapter, the fandom buzzed with anticipation and curiosity. The cliffhanger that teased Boruto’s latest jutsu, Rasengan Uzuhiko, left many on tenterhooks. But as the next chapter rolled out, the revelations it brought were nothing short of jaw-dropping.
“Three years after the end of the series’ first part, Boruto returns to Konoha to prove just how much his training has paid off with a ridiculously powerful new technique.”
The initial debut of Uzuhiko in chapter 2 was met with a flurry of speculation. However, chapter 3 laid the grounds for understanding the new Rasengan’s dynamics. The jutsu, albeit rooted in the chakra spinning principle, takes a different turn. By channeling the Earth’s spinning chakra, Boruto can disorient his opponent and mess with their balance, creating an effect not unlike Shinji Hirako’s Bankai from “Bleach.”
“When Boruto attacked Code with this technique, Code couldn’t stand straight no matter what happened.”
Why Rasengan Uzuhiko Spells Doom
Boruto’s Rasengan Uzuhiko isn’t just a simple jutsu, it’s a death warrant. The mechanism is genius: the jutsu infuses Earth’s ever-spinning chakra into its victim, wreaking havoc within. The engulfed individual struggles to discern basic orientations, rendering them defenseless. This disorientation combined with the Rasengan’s sheer power makes it a formidable weapon.
This isn’t just about destabilizing an adversary. Boruto’s strategy here is clear: incapacitate to dominate. Code, the formidable antagonist, was a mere plaything once hit by the Uzuhiko. He tried retaliating, but with his senses astray, he barely posed a threat. The continued spin of the chakra ensures gradual damage, potentially lethal unless Boruto decides to intervene.
“The only way to avoid certain death is if the Earth stops spinning – which is impossible – or until Boruto deactivates the technique.”

The Power That Broke the Mold
It’s imperative to note the real horror of Rasengan Uzuhiko: Boruto doesn’t use his own chakra. By tapping into the Earth’s reservoir and redirecting it, he avoids draining his energy. This means Boruto can unleash this devastating jutsu repeatedly without fatigue.
However, as terrifying as it is, Rasengan Uzuhiko also raises questions. Its raw power and implications make it a force to be reckoned with. As the series progresses, fans eagerly await further developments around this jutsu, which, undoubtedly, is among the most lethal in the anime’s history.
For those itching to delve further, “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” is accessible on Manga Plus. As always, the world of anime promises twists, turns, and techniques that leave fans enthralled.
