Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 71

... Read moreOkay, fellow Boruto fans, can we just talk about Boruto Chapter 71 for a minute? I just finished it, and my mind is absolutely racing! The original article mentioned Amado's 'ace up his sleeve' to force Kawaki, and I totally get why there's doubt about it. After reading this chapter, I'm honestly more confused and intrigued than ever about what Amado is truly playing at. He always seems to have a backup plan, but against the likes of Eida and Daemon? That's a whole different ball game. Amado's obsession with controlling Kawaki and preventing Momoshiki's resurgence is clear, but his methods are always so morally ambiguous. This 'ace' he's hinting at, I'm trying to piece together what it could be. Is it a scientific ninja tool? A secret genetic modification? Or something even more insidious related to Kawaki's Karma? Seeing that worried look on the male character wearing glasses, likely Amado, in some of the panels, really makes me wonder if even he is fully confident about this plan. He's trying to manipulate forces far beyond typical ninja abilities. And then there's Eida. Her omnipotence is such a game-changer! It's one thing to have powerful abilities, but to enchant everyone around you, making them fall in love – it's practically unbeatable. I was particularly struck by that manga panel showing a close-up of a female character's intense eyes with unique pupils and long dark hair. That had to be Eida, and those eyes just radiate an otherworldly power. How can Amado's plan possibly work when Eida can literally make Kawaki, or anyone else, do her bidding with a glance? This is where my doubt really kicks in. Her ability to force unconditional love makes any form of coercion from Amado seem trivial. Unless, of course, Amado has found a way to bypass her charm, which seems almost impossible. Let's not forget Daemon. Eida's younger brother, whose reflection-based counter-attack ability makes him virtually untouchable. If Amado tries anything direct against Eida or Kawaki while Daemon is around, it's game over. Daemon's presence alone adds another layer of complexity to Amado's already precarious schemes. He’s fiercely protective of Eida, and anyone who tries to harm her or cross her will face his terrifying power. It makes me wonder if Amado's 'ace' is somehow designed to work around Eida and Daemon, rather than directly against them. Perhaps it's a long-term psychological play on Kawaki, or something that doesn't involve direct confrontation. And what about Momoshiki? Even though he's technically 'gone,' his presence still looms large over Boruto. The threat of Momoshiki taking over Boruto's body is the driving force behind so many of these events, including Amado's desperate measures to protect Kawaki as a vessel. Is Amado's 'ace' also a contingency plan for Momoshiki, perhaps a way to fully separate Boruto from the Otsutsuki's influence, or even transfer it? The implications are massive. This chapter truly sets the stage for some intense confrontations, not just physically, but also psychologically, as characters grapple with their destinies intertwined with these god-like powers. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what unfolds next!
