Why Boruto Hasn’t Matured: Breaking Down His Biggest Flaws
Boruto’s Biggest Flaw Explained: Why He Hasn’t Matured
Boruto hasn’t gotten smarter, and he hasn’t matured. We were simply wrong, and now we’re going to break down exactly why.
First, Boruto, acting on impulse, pushed Kawaki into removing his limiters too early, completely sabotaging all of Kashin Koji’s brilliantly calculated plans. And now, cornered with no way out, he turns to the last being in the universe he should ever trust—Momoshiki Otsutsuki, he turns to the last being in the universe he should ever trust—Momoshiki Otsutsuki, echoing the moment when Boruto makes a deal with Momoshiki. This isn’t just a tactical blunder.
I’m convinced Momoshiki knows every weakness Boruto has, and I’m certain that mentally and psychologically Momoshiki crushes Boruto in Chapter 26. This is the culmination of Boruto’s greatest flaw, a character trait that Naruto’s creator, Masashi Kishimoto, spelled out for us nearly a decade ago. If Boruto keeps stepping on the same rake, the consequences won’t just be catastrophic—they’ll be irreversible.
It’s even possible that in Chapter 26 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, he triggered a second, much bigger timeline shift, and the cost of that move might be unbearably high.
The Root of Boruto’s Flaw
To really understand Boruto’s tragedy, we need to go back to 2015. In one interview, Kishimoto gave his new hero a strikingly precise description:
“I wouldn’t call him lazy. Rather, he just knows all the shortcuts. He’s cunning.”
That one short phrase contains the entire code of his personality.
Boruto is a natural-born genius, a prodigy who instinctively sees the quickest route from point A to point Z, all while contemptuously ignoring the rest of the alphabet in between. Instead of methodically pushing through challenges step by step, he’s always looking for a way to skip straight to the end. And even though his grueling training with Sasuke and Kashin Koji should have taught him respect for the basics, this inborn tendency to “cut corners” remained his Achilles’ heel.
We’ve already seen how this trait turned against him, and the fallout was brutal.
Boruto vs. Koji’s Strategy
Think back to the recent events. Kashin Koji, using his incredible ability “Ten Directions,” was playing the role of a grandmaster, orchestrating an insanely complex chess match. He calculated countless possible futures to pinpoint the one narrow path that could lead to victory over Jura.
His strategy was deliberate, cold, built on patience and probability. He was setting up the board, preparing everything for the single correct move. And what did Boruto do? With all his youthful recklessness, he tossed a wrench right into that finely tuned machine. He went to Kawaki and basically said:
“Hey, take off your limiters right now. You’d do it eventually anyway, so what’s the difference?”
The difference, as we now understand, was massive. Boruto, in his naïve faith in shortcuts, hoped to instantly gain a powered-up ally who would help him crush Jura. But he rushed it, acted too soon, and in doing so created a brand-new, unpredictable timeline that Koji’s genius simply couldn’t account for.
Kawaki even warned him:
“Man, this isn’t going to work. Even with this boost, I don’t think I can do anything.”
And tragically, he was right. Jura didn’t even take his attack seriously—during Kawaki’s enhanced assault, Jura literally pulled out a book and started reading, showing absolute, cosmic-level contempt.
In the end, Boruto’s “shortcut” collapsed into total failure. Koji’s foresight, his monumental work, was rendered worthless. All the safe paths to the future that he so carefully laid out were wiped away by one impulsive decision.
And worst of all, this failure had a side effect: Jura discovered Naruto was alive. The stakes instantly shot through the roof.
The Desperate Deal with Momoshiki
And now the story repeats itself, but on a far scarier, existential level. Realizing his own power isn’t enough, Boruto makes a deal with Momoshiki. He asks to borrow his strength, offering in return the most precious thing he has—his body—after Jura’s defeat.
That’s a direct contradiction of everything Kashin Koji’s strategy was built on. Koji has always been terrified of Boruto’s dependence on Karma, fearing Momoshiki would eventually seize total control. And now Boruto doesn’t just open the door to chaos—he welcomes it in and offers it a seat at the table.
Momoshiki is an unpredictable variable, the ultimate wild card in this cosmic game. If he gains full control, he’ll instantly have access to Boruto’s entire arsenal: Flying Thunder God, Uzuhiko Rasengan, all the techniques Sasuke and Koji drilled into him. And with millennia of battle experience, Momoshiki could wield Boruto’s body with a mastery the boy himself could never dream of.
We’ve already seen a glimpse of it, when he casually turned Rasengan into a deadly bullet and named it Rasendan. This isn’t just another timeline shift—it’s inviting raw, uncontrollable chaos into the equation.
