Following up Masashi Kishimoto’sNarutois a next-to-impossible task, which might be whyBorutois nowhere as popular as its parent franchise. From a huge number of fillers to legacy characters being nerfed,Borutohas a plethora of problems, but one of them overpowers others.
Many fans claim that the major problem withBorutois the lack of villains who have the same depth as those of Naruto. Akatsuki, the legendary antagonistic group inNaruto,hosted villains with incredible background stories and are sorely missed inBoruto. to escape from this issue, there is only one step thatBorutocan take in the future.
A Villain Comeback that Could SaveBoruto
The ongoing lack of villains with depth inBorutocould be solved in one smooth move, and all it would take is thereturn of Kaguya Otsutsuki.The princess is one of the most powerful villains of Naruto as well as the overarching antagonist of the franchise. She was the source of the whole conflict as well as the biggest threat faced by Naruto.
Naruto Theory All But Confirms One Boruto Character is the ‘Child’ of Kaguya Otsutsuki
It took Team 7 several tries and various methods just to seal her, as they werenever able to destroy her completely. This is exactly why she has the potential to return inBoruto.Naruto and Sasuke sealed her and left her in a separate dimension, which resulted in the elimination of the threat from the shinobi world.
Kaguya has otherworldly powers, and after eating the Chakra fruit, she achieved such unrivaled power that she was able to claim peace in a war-torn world all by herself. Hagoromo himself claimed his mother’s might to be superior to everyone else’s. Be it Hagoromo and Hamura or Naruto and Sasuke, it took a considerable amount of strength and planning to defeat her each time.
Why Kaguya Otsutsuki is the Perfect Villain forBoruto
If Mikio Ikemoto brought Kaguya Otsutsuki back asthe main villain ofBoruto, it could tie up the series even better withNaruto,as fans would be reminded of the legendary battle fought by Team 7 against her. This time, rather than just sealing her, Boruto and Kawaki should end up destroying her completely to show their prowess.
While some consider it impossible to bring her back, given that she is sealed in a completely different dimension, with Sasuke’s knowledge, it might just be possible. While the threat of villains like Code and Jura is substantial, none of them have a backstory as deep as the Akatsuki members.
Masashi Kishimoto Originally Wanted Neither Madara Nor Kaguya as the Endgame Villain: “I’m truly impressed by how he crafted the entire storyline”
In order to find a villain who could rival the might and influence of the Akatsuki, Kaguya’s return could be vital. In bothNarutoandBoruto,there is a trend of characters returning from the past and Kaguya is the perfect Otsutsuki to use it on. In fact, another part of the fanbase claims that the protagonists might unseal Kaguya just to receive her help in battle since all she wanted was peace.
Borutomanga is available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
