Amado’s Daughter akebi Could Be Boruto’s Final Threat

Amado’s Daughter and Her Mysterious Connection to Boruto and Kawaki

Amado’s daughter is connected to Boruto and Kawaki. The problem is, most people have no clue how exactly their lives are tied together. It’s this mysterious connection that Ikemoto hid and that most fans totally missed. I’m about to break it all down for you, so stick around till the end of the article.

For a long time, all the focus was on characters like Code, Jura, and even Kawaki himself. But recent events—and a deeper look at hidden details—point to a way more intriguing and unexpected contender: Sanzu Akebi, the mysterious daughter of the brilliant yet controversial scientist, Amado.

The Deal with Karma and Akebi’s Resurrection

She’s connected to Kawaki and Boruto, and chances are you didn’t even realize it. You need to know about this, especially after Chapter 23 of Boruto manga, where Kawaki lifted his limiters—something he wouldn’t have been able to do without making a deal for her resurrection through Kawaki’s Karma.

Her name, once only associated with a tragic death from an incurable disease, is now surfacing in the context of a potential final boss, sparking tons of questions and anticipation.

Why Akebi Could Be the Ultimate Threat

So let’s dive deep into all the clues we’ve got—pulling from both the Boruto manga and the anime—to figure out why Akebi might just be the ultimate threat to the shinobi world. To really get how Akebi could fit into this role, we have to go back to the basics of the Otsutsuki clan.

These cosmic wanderers travel between worlds, ruthlessly devouring what’s called chakra fruit—the concentrated life force of entire planets.

The Otsutsuki’s Godhood and the Cost of Power

Their ultimate goal is to achieve godhood, like Shibai Otsutsuki, who devoured countless chakra fruits to reach that level. But that path to absolute power comes with massive sacrifices. Every step forward means draining planets dry, which eventually led to internal strife, rebellion, and the clan’s downfall.

To stop this self-destructive cycle, the Otsutsuki developed Karma—a unique way to transfer their consciousness and genetic code into another living being, turning that being into the perfect “vessel.”

How Akebi Connects to the Otsutsuki’s Legacy

Understanding this foundation of Karma and the nature of the Otsutsuki clan is the key to seeing why Sanzu Akebi, who on the surface seems like just a normal girl from the past, fits perfectly as the final villain.

Her connection to Amado—the man who created all those cyborgs—and his deep knowledge of Otsutsuki genetics only adds fuel to this theory.

Cultural Symbolism Behind the Name Akebi

Let’s break this layered theory down from a few angles. First, there’s the cultural symbolism behind the name Akebi. The word “Akebi” refers to a type of climbing plant (Akebia quinata) that grows in East Asia, including Japan.

This plant is linked to wild, untamed nature, mountain landscapes, and incredible resilience. The Akebi vine clings to other trees, using them as support to grow and bear fruit—a strikingly accurate metaphor for the Otsutsuki, who use the bodies of others (their vessels) to evolve and reach higher forms.

Yamahime: Princess of the Mountains

What’s more, in Japanese culture, the Akebi vine is tied to the mystical beauty of mountain forests. In some regions, folk names connect it directly to the idea of a “mountain princess,” which lines up perfectly with Akebi’s second name, Yamahime, literally “Princess of the Mountains.”

The Folklore of Yamahime and Otsutsuki Parallels

Then there’s the folklore angle with Yamahime. In Japanese folklore, a yokai called Yamahime from Yakushima Island is described as a pale-skinned, long-haired woman who lures lost travelers in the mountains and drains their blood or life force.

These traits—pale skin, ties to lightning and nature (which might hint at Shibai Otsutsuki’s Shinjutsu)—and the danger linked to wild or forbidden places echo the Otsutsuki’s hunger and destructive force.

The mountain princess’s ability to summon lightning and change nature calls to mind the divine powers of Shibai.

From “Tomorrow” to Terror: The Dual Nature of Akebi

The shift from “tomorrow” (the literal meaning of Akebi’s name) to “mountain princess” symbolizes a move from a promise of a bright future to the reveal of a terrifying true nature. It strengthens the narrative link between Akebi and what could be the story’s ultimate climax.

Sanzu: The Buddhist Meaning and Foreshadowing

Now let’s talk about the Buddhist meaning of the surname Sanzu. In Japanese Buddhist tradition, “Sanzu” stands for “three paths” or “three roads.” It’s tied to the Sanzu River, the mythical river that separates the living world from the dead.

After death, a soul has to cross that river, and how it crosses depends on the deeds it did in life.

Sanzu’s Three Paths and the Otsutsuki Mirror

This connects to the Buddhist idea of the Six Paths of Rebirth, three of which (the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell) are seen as the worst.

These paths represent insatiable hunger (like the Otsutsuki’s hunger for power), endless craving, and destructive chaos. All of this matches the idea of Sanzu’s three paths and lines up with the Otsutsuki clan’s actions that drain worlds dry.

Akebi’s Name as Foreshadowing

Akebi’s surname is a big clue that she’s deeply linked to the Otsutsuki and foreshadows her possible transformation into their ultimate form. So here’s the big question: why the “ultimate” form of an Otsutsuki?

The answer lies in Amado’s genius. He still has Shibai Otsutsuki’s genes—the same ones he worked into all his cyborgs, giving them insane abilities. There’s no doubt that Amado kept some of those genes for himself and, more importantly, for his daughter Sanzu.

Akebi’s Potential Power Through Karma

We’ve already seen hints that Akebi might inherit Otsutsuki power through Kawaki’s Karma. Amado’s whole goal was for his daughter to gain the power and genes of both Shibai and Isshiki—both of which are already inside Kawaki. And Amado, as Kawaki’s creator and Akebi’s father, clearly planned for this.

From the hidden meanings in Akebi’s name to the folklore parallels and the inner logic of the Boruto world, it all fits together like pieces of a carefully crafted puzzle.

Sanzu Akebi isn’t just some new villain—she could very well be the ultimate challenge for the new shinobi era, bigger than any threat we’ve seen so far.

A Dark Force Behind a Tragic Story

With every new clue in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, it’s becoming clearer that behind the tragic story of the girl Amado was so desperate to bring back lies a much darker, ancient, and potentially world-ending force that could change the fate of everything.

The Mystery Behind Boruto’s Birth

And if you’ve been paying close attention to the Boruto manga, you might’ve caught the subtle but meaningful hints that something huge happened at Boruto’s birth—something that still hasn’t been explained directly.

Experienced fans of manga, anime, movies, and shows know how creators love to weave in those little signs that foreshadow key events. In Boruto, like in any well-thought-out story, nothing happens by accident.

A Theory Nobody’s Talking About

This theory hasn’t really been talked about much, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I’m convinced that something major happened at the time of Boruto’s birth that’s tied to the nature of chakra and how it interacts with the human body.

In one chapter, we get this really curious—probably crucial—detail: Amado, known for his cutting-edge work in cloning and cybernetics, had a daughter who died of an incurable disease. He personally tells Naruto about his plan to resurrect her with Karma and he mentions a specific timeframe for when she died—12 years ago.

That’s the exact same year Boruto was born.

Coincidence? Or Hidden Truth?

At first glance, this might look like a coincidence, but Ikemoto clearly highlighted this timing on purpose. It points to the idea that Amado’s daughter’s illness is somehow—maybe directly—connected to Boruto’s birth and its impact on the world.

Also, remember this key moment: when Boruto’s Jougan first activated, it immediately caused a disturbance and imbalance in the very structure of the universe. This was noticed even by powerful Otsutsuki clan members like Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki.

Toneri’s Warning and the Cosmic Disturbance

Toneri Otsutsuki, in one of the anime episodes, clearly showed this phenomenon and directly linked Boruto’s Jougan activation to this cosmic disruption. This just further supports the theory that Boruto’s power is so immense that it actively influences major characters and shapes the very destiny of the world, steering it toward Boruto becoming the one who’ll one day defeat the entire Otsutsuki clan.

We see confirmation of this again in Chapter 23 of the Boruto manga, where Boruto rewrote fate itself.

Naruto’s Legacy: Predictive Storytelling

Thought-out setups like this for future events are nothing new in this franchise—we’ve seen them plenty of times in Naruto. A perfect example from Naruto is Obito’s story.

We knew Kakashi had a friend from the Uchiha clan and that Kakashi had a Sharingan in his right eye. Then came this mysterious figure, Tobi, hiding the right side of his face and having a Sharingan in his left eye.

At the time, most readers and viewers didn’t connect the dots, because the author deliberately threw us off with Shisui’s story.

Tobi kept insisting he was Madara Uchiha, but the plot kept dropping hints pointing to someone else behind the mask.

The Jougan’s Origin Still a Mystery

Now, back to Boruto—we still don’t have clear, solid info on the Jougan, what it really is, how it connects to all these events, or how Boruto’s birth kicked off this entire chain of events.

All we know for sure is this happened 12 years ago, and that was specifically mentioned in Chapter 75 of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga.

Coincidence? Doubt it. In a story as carefully planned as Boruto, coincidences are rare.

The Real Questions That Remain

That brings up several critical questions we still need answers to:

• Is Amado’s daughter’s illness tied to Boruto’s birth?
• Did the appearance of the Otsutsuki in the human world and their manipulation of chakra change the very nature of chakra energy?
• Could that have affected certain people, including Amado’s daughter?

Was Boruto Protected by Toneri?

Was Boruto himself hit by this illness at birth but saved by Toneri Otsutsuki?

It’s possible. Toneri, who showed a special interest in Boruto and his Jougan, may have given him Hamura Otsutsuki’s chakra, which at the same time awakened the Jougan and maybe even protected him from the same illness that struck Akebi.

One way or another, these two events—Akebi’s death and Boruto’s birth—seem deeply connected.

Jigen’s Timeline and the Hidden Pattern

We still don’t know the exact origin of this mysterious illness, but what we do know is that Jigen—or rather Isshiki Otsutsuki—had already started setting his big plans in motion right around that time, 12 years ago.

The authors made it a point that Boruto was born the same year Amado’s daughter died. There’s no way that’s just background detail. That’s a key piece of the story.

A Hidden Motive Behind Amado’s Move to Konoha

If these events really are connected, then we’re in for a massive plot twist that flips everything on its head.

Amado didn’t choose Konoha as his refuge and workplace just to protect himself from the Otsutsuki. He could’ve hidden in any other country—Naruto and Sasuke would’ve fought the Otsutsuki anyway, given the existing alliance between the nations.

So why did Amado place himself so close to Konoha, to Boruto, and to Naruto?

That points to a deep, hidden motive tied specifically to them—and to his own family.

The Theory: A Genetic Curse and the Clone Dilemma

One of the most compelling theories explaining Amado’s actions is this:

Even cloned bodies could still suffer from the same incurable disease Akebi had.

That could explain why Amado created so many clones, constantly tweaking and improving them in search of the perfect, invulnerable vessel.

As we know, there are chakra pathways running through the entire body, and those are most likely what got damaged. Since he was cloning Akebi based on her post-illness data, the defect was likely built in at the genetic level, meaning every clone inherited damaged chakra pathways.

Delta’s Repetition: A Sign of Failure or Progress?

Look at Delta. None of Amado’s other cyborgs have duplicates the way she does.

Delta’s consciousness is stored in a special drone attached to her back, and Amado keeps making new clones of her. He didn’t even hesitate to shut down one of Delta’s clones in Jigen’s hideout, like it was no longer needed. He could’ve reused it—but instead, he made a brand-new Delta clone in Konoha.

And this new clone? She has a distinctive mark on her forehead.

Maybe that mark means this final clone is immune to the disease—and maybe that’s where Akebi’s Karma will be placed.

Was the Illness More Widespread Than We Think?

But this brings up a bigger question:

• How many others might’ve been infected with this mysterious disease?
• Was it only Amado’s daughter?
• And why couldn’t even the smartest doctors cure it?

Maybe the disease hits the cells at such a fundamental level that no matter how many clones Amado made, the illness kept returning, affecting every new vessel.

A Fateful Connection: Boruto’s Birth and Akebi’s Death

Either way, the Boruto authors are clearly hinting at a deep, fateful link between Boruto’s birth and the tragic death of Amado’s daughter.

We’ll definitely learn more about these mysteries in the upcoming chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

As we dig deeper into the intriguing connections between Boruto’s birth and Akebi’s illness, it’s becoming clear that the new chapters are slowly but surely revealing long-buried secrets—ones that have been woven into the narrative since the beginning.

Akebi’s Awakening: A Battle for the Planet

If this theory is right, Akebi’s awakening won’t just trigger a battle for survival—it’ll be a fight for the planet’s very fate.

It will put the future of not just the shinobi, but also the God Tree itself, on the line.
