Code Stole Hidari’s Rinnegan?!
Boruto Two Blue Vortex
You’re missing a lot of key points about Code — and that’s a major blind spot for most fans. People tend to forget that Code knows Kawaki inside and out. He was there, deep in the darkest cells of Kara, when this whole nightmare began. He was one of the fifteen kids that Amado, the cold-blooded genius, and Jigen, the ruthless monster, used for their twisted experiments, trying to create the perfect vessel for Isshiki Otsutsuki.
In the end, there was only one survivor: Kawaki. But wait — Code survived too. He went through the same horror show, and even though his body rejected Karma as a vessel, it didn’t destroy him. Instead, something completely different happened. His body reacted in a unique way. He ended up with what’s now called “White Karma” — a pure form of Isshiki’s power, but without Isshiki’s consciousness.
Ironically, that made him potentially stronger than Jigen himself. Now, there was one unbreakable rule in Kara: anyone who surpassed the leader in power had to be eliminated. But Code was spared. Why? Because of his dog-like, obsessive devotion to the Otsutsuki cult. As a twisted “reward” for that loyalty, Amado implanted highly complex limiters in Code’s body, suppressing his true power.
So this guy, who went through the same meat grinder as Kawaki, has a deep, almost intimate understanding of what’s going on inside the so-called “perfect vessel.” He knows Kawaki is a powder keg with a very short fuse, ready to blow at the slightest spark. His warning to Jura wasn’t just a tactical move — it was a psychological profile, crafted with surgical precision.
And Jura? Blinded by his shiny new god complex, he just brushes Code off like, “Shut up, loser. Know your place.” That, my friends, is where Jura made his first and possibly fatal mistake. He didn’t underestimate Code’s power — he underestimated his mind. In that moment, something snapped in Code’s head. He realized Jura isn’t a partner or a leader. He’s a rival.
A threat standing between Code and his ultimate goal — the Chakra Fruit. That one moment, that one line, was the trigger. From that second on, Code stopped being the loyal hound and started playing his own long, deadly game.
Mythological Parallels
Let’s go back to the roots of Japanese Shinto mythology, which the creators of Naruto and Boruto love drawing inspiration from. The story of Izanagi and Kagutsuchi is an eerie, dead-on metaphor for Code and Jura’s relationship. Izanagi, one of the creator gods, together with his wife and sister Izanami, birthed many deities, including the islands of Japan. But the birth of their last son, Kagutsuchi, the god of fire, came at a horrific cost.
The newborn’s flames burned Izanami from the inside, killing her. Blinded by grief and rage, Izanagi drew his sword and killed his own son — the very being he had brought into the world. The parallel is obvious. Code is Izanagi. He basically created the Shinju and Jura. He brought the Ten-Tails, used his chakra and claws to give rise to these beings for one purpose: reshape the world and devour the Chakra Fruit.
But Jura? He’s Kagutsuchi — a creation that burns too bright. His ambition, self-awareness, and power have already burned up Code’s original plan and now threaten to consume the creator himself. That myth teaches a brutal truth: when you create something powerful without understanding or being able to control it, it’s destined to destroy you.
Code, like Izanagi, naively thinks he’s still in charge. But he doesn’t realize that Jura is no longer a tool. He’s a force of nature with his own will, goals, and desires that may not line up with those of his “father.”
And don’t forget — in a French interview, Ikemoto mentioned that Code was originally supposed to be killed off in Part 1 of the manga, but he decided to keep him around. That likely means Code is part of a bigger plan. He’s being used just like Obito once was and he probably won’t realize it until it’s way too late. When he finally does, he’ll likely be destroyed.
The Uzumaki Theory
For a long time, I was just as skeptical as anyone about Code’s importance. After Kabuto revealed that Karin was an Uzumaki because of her red hair, fans started slapping that label onto every red-haired character. It felt lazy — too easy. But over time, looking at new info, I started to change my mind.
First, yes, his hair. It’s not the main clue, but it’s still a marker. More importantly though, he survived the Karma ritual. We’ve seen in the anime and manga how the other kids shook, screamed in pain, and died. Their bodies couldn’t handle the Otsutsuki chakra. But Code? He suffered all the same symptoms — and lived.
Why? Let’s remember what the Uzumaki clan is most famous for: their insane vitality and massive chakra reserves. Their life force is so powerful they age slower and, most importantly, can survive having a Tailed Beast ripped out of them. Kushina Uzumaki didn’t just survive the Nine-Tails being extracted — she held the damn thing back and gave a whole speech afterward. Naruto, being half-Uzumaki, also survived.
Now let’s draw the parallel. Karma, at its core, is a lot like Tailed Beast chakra — it’s foreign, godlike energy forcibly implanted into a shinobi’s body. For most people, that’s a death sentence. But what if Code has Uzumaki blood in him? Even if his lineage is diluted — say he’s one-quarter or one-eighth Uzumaki — that could still be enough.
His body fought, suffered, but his “Uzumaki-style” life force, as Zetsu might put it, “clung to life like a cockroach,” and that’s what let him survive. This might explain why he ended up with White Karma specifically. Maybe his body could handle Isshiki’s raw power but didn’t have enough life force to become a full-fledged vessel capable of containing his consciousness.
That would perfectly explain Code’s unique condition. If this theory holds up, then we’re looking at a character who not only has White Karma but also monstrous life force — making him insanely hard to kill. And if we remember that the Uzumaki clan is known for their natural affinity with sealing techniques (fūinjutsu), things start to get even scarier.
Power, Limiters, and Amado’s Manipulation
Imagine what Code could do with the Ten-Tails if he had access to those kinds of abilities. We’ve been told more than once — especially by Amado — that Code’s true potential, once his limiters are removed, exceeds even Jigen’s strength. In theory, that makes him the strongest member of Kara after Isshiki himself.
His White Karma alone is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon that, according to Isshiki, could have eventually allowed Code to evolve into a full, perfected Otsutsuki. But here’s what I think: Amado totally played him. Amado’s a grandmaster of manipulation and long-term strategy. He’s already admitted to embedding hidden control systems into the bodies of cyborgs like Kawaki and Code.
At first, that was framed as a precaution. But come on — do you really think a genius like Amado wouldn’t build in some kind of personal fail-safe for each of them in case they ever turned on him? When Code cornered Amado and threatened to kill him, Amado did technically remove his limiters by saying the codeword.
But I’m convinced that was just the surface-level, most obvious layer of protection. Amado knew exactly who he was dealing with: an unstable, obsessed fanatic. There’s no way he handed him the launch codes without a hidden dead man’s switch. I think Code’s power is now operating under the same principle as Kawaki’s — it activates just enough to keep him alive in a critical situation, and not an ounce more.
Code’s Future Role
So what does all this leave us with? A character who’s already shown he’s a strategic thinker, who has deep psychological insight into the key players around him, and who’s sitting on a sealed, massive reservoir of power. What’s next for him? I see him evolving into an independent third force — something like what Kabuto Yakushi became in Naruto.
Remember, Kabuto spent years in Orochimaru’s shadow as his loyal assistant and spy. But in that shadow, he was quietly absorbing knowledge, growing stronger, crafting his own plans, and eventually became one of the central threats of the Fourth Great Ninja War, masterfully manipulating every side of the conflict. Code is tailor-made for that kind of transformation.
He’s fueled by deep resentment toward Jura, who humiliated and dismissed him. He’s high on his newfound confidence in his analytical skills — which, let’s be honest, he’s already proven are razor-sharp. He could start sabotaging Jura and the Divine Trees from the inside, secretly chasing his own selfish goals. He’ll play the part of the loyal ally, nodding along, agreeing with everything… while quietly, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to stab Jura in the back.
The Eye Theory
That brings us to the climax of this theory — the central question the manga throws at us after the time skip. In the very first chapter of Two Blue Vortex, we see Code again and he looks different. More sinister. His style has shifted — more gothic, almost vampiric — but the key detail is this: his left eye is slashed with an ugly scar. That scar wasn’t there before the time skip.
Which screams one thing: in the three years that passed, something major went down. The most likely person who could have left that mark? Sasuke Uchiha, defending Boruto during their training. But what if the scar isn’t just a scar? What if the eye underneath isn’t just damaged, but gone?
In the world of Naruto and Boruto, an empty eye socket isn’t just a wound — it’s a vacancy. It’s a perfect slot for a transplanted dōjutsu that could push Code to an entirely new, absolutely terrifying level.
Theory 1: Sasuke Uchiha’s Eye — During his off-screen clash with Sasuke over the last three years, Code didn’t just injure him — he defeated him, and possibly took his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This wouldn’t just be an upgrade — it would be a symbolic act of desecration and triumph. Code would now wield the power of Naruto Uzumaki’s greatest rival. Combine that with his analytical mind and the Sharingan’s ability to predict movements and copy jutsu, and his strategic genius becomes borderline unstoppable.
Theory 2: Hidari’s Eye — the Shinju Clone — Along with Jura and the other Shinju, we were introduced to Hidari, a clone based on Sasuke, who has a Rinnegan. What if Code is playing the long game here? He knows a direct confrontation with Jura would be self-destructive. But he also knows Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada will eventually fight the Shinju. His plan could be simple: wait until Hidari is defeated, then swoop in to claim a clean, powerful Rinnegan — unburdened by a human will or personality.
Final Thoughts
Either way, to stand against the godlike being he helped create, Code needs a godlike power of his own. Karma alone — even White Karma, even without limiters — might not be enough to counter Jura’s evolving abilities. He needs a dōjutsu. That empty eye socket isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a promise of future power.
This is how a character who used to be the butt of jokes and memes has suddenly gained jaw-dropping depth and narrative weight. Code is no longer a loser — he’s the embodiment of a core idea in the Boruto world: arrogance and blind faith in brute strength always lead to downfall. But real insight, cold calculation, and strategic brilliance hide in the most unexpected places — in shadows, behind masks of fanaticism, and under the scars of past failures.
Which eye theory sounds more likely to you — will Code take Sasuke’s eye, or will he bide his time and steal Hidari’s Rinnegan? Do you buy into the theory that Code might secretly be an Uzumaki? And the big one: is Code destined for triumph, outsmarting everyone and becoming the final boss — or is he just being set up for another massive fall?
