  • Chainsaw Man Episode 5 review: Kooky characters and a promising plot – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Episode 5 review: Kooky characters and a promising plot CrunchyrollChainsaw Man Episode 5 shakes up the plot of the series, adding in new characters, new motivations, and new dangers. Chainsaw Man has been one of the most hyped-up anime in recent years, and it’s finally arrived on Crunchyroll, with Episode 5 now here. The plot is described as Crunchyroll as: “Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as ‘Chainsaw Man’– a man with a devil’s heart.” This episode shakes up the series current formula, by introducing us to a ton of new characters, and throwing a few curveballs here and there. But first, spoiler warning for Chainsaw Man ahead… Chainsaw Man introduces some (mostly) fun characters This episode marks somewhat of a shift in Denji. He’s still obsessed with boobs – hopefully this joke won’t be dragged on for too long – but after copping a feel of Power’s, he realizes that he only wants to feel Makami’s, who then agrees to do anything for him if he manages to successfully work for her. She even gives him a taste, and no doubt this is part of the reason why this show has been so popular with teenage boys. This episode introduces you to a lot more characters, including Hirokazu and Aki’s first partner Himeno. Hirokazu is humorously heroic, and Himeno in particular seems like she’ll be a great character. The only new addition that appears somewhat unlikable – due to her being annoyingly scared all the time – is Kobeni, who squeals and freezes up every moment she’s onscreen. It makes you wonder why she’s here fighting Devils, but perhaps the show is gearing up for a character arc or twist. More characters means more backstory Aki gets a lot more focus this episode, as we learn more about his past. This was a given; anyone that stone-faced is bound to have some sort of tragic backstory. But the story does well in giving you a bait and switch, making you think his trauma will come from one thing, only to have something else literally blast across the screen. This backstory also introduces the concept of the Gun Devil, which will no doubt be a fearsome villain that gives up some epic action. The action in Chainsaw Man Episode 5 is somewhat limited – however, it makes up for that with a fun concept that leaves the episode on a cliffhanger. This new mission shows the kind of power devils can have; they’re not just strong, this one has been able to catch our Devil Hunters in a time loop, creating a tense situation for the next episode. And we can’t wait to see it. If only Kobeni will stop squealing. Chainsaw Man Episode 6 premieres on Crunchyroll on November 15. Want more Chainsaw Man reviews?

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 brings mouths back into the world in a shocking way – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 brings mouths back into the world in a shocking way Tatsuki Fujimoto/ShueishaIn Chainsaw Man Chapter 176, Yoru’s master plan finally works, unexpectedly bringing mouths back into existence. While Chainsaw Man always had a flavor of strangeness, it’s been taken to a new height in recent chapters. After witnessing Nayuta’s traumatizing death, Denji goes berserk, losing himself in grief as he turns into his eponymous form. Since then, he’s killed numerous enemies, all the while deleting some fundamental concepts from existence. The first one is ears, and eventually, snow, mouths, and arms also get removed from the world. But this horrifying phenomenon finally comes to a halt in Chainsaw Man Chapter 176. As Yoru is about to die at the hands of the titular character, she takes a drastic step to defeat her opponent. It’s a huge sacrifice for her, but one she’s ready to make to defeat the strongest Devil. Summoning her children – the Gun Devil and the Tank Devil – Yoru cuts through the Chainsaw Man and makes him throw up the Mouth Devil, thus bringing mouths back into existence. This is a shocking development, especially since Yoru seemingly had no way of defeating the Chainsaw Man prior to this. But As Chapter 176 proves, the War Devil has more in her arsenal than she’s revealed. For example, every weapon is her children and she can use them whenever and however she wants. Given that the chainsaw is a weapon itself, it makes us wonder if Yoru can have influence over Pochita, too. If that does turn out to be the case, it’ll be one of the most shocking twists in the manga, and that’s saying something. Fans are losing their minds over Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 and how brilliantly this development is introduced in the story. As one posted on X, “I’m afraid we’re going to have to start having uncomfortable conversations about Part 2 potentially being better than Part 1.” “THEY SAID THE ART FELL OFF. THEY SAID YOU LOST THE PLOT. THEY CALLED YOU WASHED. THEY TRIED TO SAY YOU CAN’T FLY, YOU CANT COOK. LET THEM KNOW, FUJIMOTO,” wrote another. A third tweeted, “COME TO MOMMY‼ Yoru, I was unfamiliar with your game. You’re a horseman of the apocalypse for a reason.” Yoru’s next move against the Chainsaw Man will be revealed in the upcoming Chapter 177, which will be released on September 17, 2024, following a break next week.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 is delayed – here’s when it actually comes out – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 is delayed – here’s when it actually comes out Tatsuki Fujimoto/MAPPAThe delay of Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 has put Denji’s rampage at a sudden halt – here’s the release date of the upcoming chapter. Like other Weekly Shonen Jump manga, Chainsaw Man also takes a scheduled break every three weeks. After the consecutive releases of Chapters 173, 174, and 175, the series is on a hiatus this week. This means the upcoming Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 will be released next Tuesday: September 3, 2024. In the Pacific time zone, the chapter will arrive at 7 am on Shueisha’s official platforms, Manga Plus and Viz Media. Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 will be released globally at the following times: 11:00 am Eastern Time – 04:00 pm British Time – 05:00 pm European Time – 08:30 pm Indian Time – 11:00 pm Philippine Time – The upcoming chapter will follow the events of Chapter 175, continuing after Yoru’s fateful clash against Denji. The Chainsaw Man has already wiped out many fundamental concepts – like ears, mouth, arms, etc, – from existence after Nayuta’s traumatizing death. He’ll likely erase more in the next chapter. However, to what extent? If Denji’s rampage continues for long, it will spell the destruction of the whole world. It must be stopped at some point. But the question is: who can stop Denji at this stage? Hopefully, we’ll soon learn the answer to that. Maybe we’ll see the end of the carnage in the new chapter. But the most plausible case is Denji destroying more enemies as he completely loses himself in grief and pain. With Chainsaw Man at such a crucial point, fans are feeling impatient for Chapter 176 to arrive. This all took a hilarious turn when Viz Media displayed the chapter without any image, with the message saying “product image coming soon”. Fans are now joking about Pochita (and Denji) erasing the chapter out of existence. As one tweeted: “The countdown to drop a blank page was so unserious.” “Wrap it up. Pochita ate the f**king manga,” wrote another, with a third saying, “I saw this and thought it was on purpose and brother believe me I laughed so f**king loud.” A fourth shared, “Masterclass chapter. Fujimoto, you mad man. Chainsaw Man ate the ‘Chapter Release Devil’ off-screen.” Don’t forget to catch Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 when it finally drops. Until then, catch up with other manga series with our guides on Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 268, One Piece Chapter 1125, and Oshi no Ko Chapter 159.

  • Horror manga from Chainsaw Man creator is getting an anime movie this summer – Dexerto

    Horror manga from Chainsaw Man creator is getting an anime movie this summer CrunchyrollChainsaw Man from Tatsuki Fujimoto is one of the best anime series of 2022, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the movie adaptation of another manga of his, Look Back. Tatsuki Fujimoto swiftly became a prominent name for manga and anime fans in English-speaking territories after Chainsaw Man premiered in 2022. The horror anime, about a young man who trades his soul to be able to transform parts of himself into chainsaws, was a runaway success from the first episode, leading to renewed interest in the manga. With such success, it was only a matter of time before Fujimoto’s other works were looked at for possible adaptations. The next one to be translated to screen is Look Back, a stand-alone chiller that’s being made into a film. Look Back is the new anime movie from Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back has been made into a film by Avex Pictures, with a Japanese release date of June 28, 2024. The first trailer has been released, showing a markedly different kind of story from Fujimoto. In Look Back, two young girls are drawn together over a love of drawing manga, until some supernatural happenings place one of them in danger of a murderer. It’s more subtle than Chainsaw Man, without any sense of deeper mythology. That said, there’s still plenty of intrigue. Kiyotaka Oshiyama is directing Look Back, and the tease indicates a more grounded vibe, closer to slice-of-life than slices of people. It’s a curious choice for the follow-up to Chainsaw Man, but perhaps that’s the point: Fujimoto isn’t all about blood and guts, and fans should understand the variety of work he has. If nothing else, it’ll make a good stopgap while we wait for Chainsaw Man season 2. Sadly, Look Back only has a release date for Japan right now, but you can expect an English dub and sub to arrive sooner rather than later given the pedigree. We’ll keep you informed!

  • Chainsaw Man creator’s next anime movie has fans in tears over new trailer – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man creator’s next anime movie has fans in tears over new trailer Apex PicturesThe newly released trailer of Chainsaw Man creator’s upcoming movie has anime fans very emotional.

However, when the manga of Kyomoto, another student who rarely comes to school, gets more praise for its detailed art, Fujino becomes incredibly jealous. Thus begins her tenuous journey of learning to draw manga. The movie has the dynamic between Fujino and Kyomoto at its core and shows incredibly humane emotions from both girls. It’s a heart wrenching tale and viewers should be prepared with their tissues when watching the film. The emotional impact of the film is evident by the newly released trailer.

As a huge Fujimoto fan I cannot wait to see this, he really is on another level,” comments a user on Reddit, praising the trailer of the movie. “I literally teared up watching this,” writes another fan. “Damn they really dropped the best adaptation of a Tatsuki Fujimoto work, thank you Oshiyama,” is what another fan has to say about the new movie by Chainsaw Man’s creator. Look Back has a lot of expectations from fans and judging by the trailer, it promises to fulfill them completely.

  • Chainsaw Man creator’s bizarre origin: Fire Punch – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man creator’s bizarre origin: Fire Punch While Chainsaw Man may be their claim to fame, Tatsuki Fujimoto’s first published serialized work – Fire Punch – is undoubtedly a strange one. Chainsaw Man‘s popularity cannot be denied with its over-the-top violence and action, even by the world of anime standards, and gut-punching emotional moments in the story, keeping fans glued to both screens and the page. Anyone who has read Chainsaw Man in its entirety knows how dark Fujimoto can get with his characters and story. Still, if you can believe it, Chainsaw Man is Fujimoto toning it down a bit when compared to his first serialized work, Fire Punch. Fair warning! This article will contain spoilers both for Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man. What is the story of Fire Punch? In a post-apocalyptic world suffering through an Ice Age where humanity is indifferent at best to one another, we’re presented with our protagonist, Agni, a person with powers called “Blessings.” In Agni’s case, he has extremely potent regenerating abilities. To summarise, Agni seeks revenge for his sister’s death, who wishes for them to have a romantic relationship before a conflict that sets him permanently on fire, with him constantly burning until he gets used to the pain. Along his journey, Agni meets some unlikely allies: Sun, a boy with electricity powers, and Togata, a transmasculine deranged cinephile with reasonable regenerative abilities who wants Agni to be the star of their film. Agni follows a girl named Judah, who heavily resembles his late sister, swearing it actually is her. The only functioning society is one of tyranny where all who possess a blessing are either part of the military forces or kept as prisoners to power the city. The leading organization behind it all used religion to convince the remaining population an “Ice Witch” caused the Ice Age to give them a common enemy. Still, none survive Agni’s wrath as it all burns down when he arrives. Said Ice Witch is actually trying to reheat the Earth, restoring life to the planet using a giant tree with the hope that society will restart and develop precisely as it did in the real world, so she can watch more Star Wars movies, the latest of which was canceled during production because of the oncoming disaster. Hence, the Ice Witch never saw it. We’re not joking; that’s on the page. Moving on, Agni gains followers, some of them are odd, Blessed people on the way who deem him godlike and start a religion in his name; Judah loses her memory and is adopted by Agni, who names her ‘Luna’ after his late sister after he exacts revenge on the person who killed her. During a conflict that restores some of Judah’s, now Luna’s, memories, she purposefully attacks Agni’s brain so he’ll forget about everything that has happened and sacrifices herself to the tree to restore the world. An amnesiac Agni, renamed Sun after his late friend and disciple, lives in a seemingly comfortable recovered world many years later, his abilities preventing aging. Since conflict seems to be sparking up in the world again, Sun is offered a way out with a suicide pill. Still, after Togota’s camera is recovered and Sun watches what little surviving soundless black-and-white footage of his life as Agni, it’s hinted he refuses to take it and outlives the planet. Time is not a factor for those with regeneration blessing. While the universe grows old and dies, Sun and Luna finally reunite within the tree among the stars. We recommend anyone interested in Fire Punch pick up a copy today. It’s only eight volumes long, making for an interesting short manga, to say the least. What does Fire Punch mean? The general consensus of Fire Punch’s message, besides emotional damage and confusion, is “Live.” Each time Agni is close to death, he is saved by his friends and loved ones, often resulting in their own deaths; he is told to live again and again. Even if you’re living just for the sake of being alive, it’s much better than the alternative. This message is reflected in Chainsaw Man, though it’s closer to “appreciate what you have” and “be careful who you put your faith in.” Agni’s purpose changing can reflect how we may need to change what we’re aiming for, for the sake of ourselves, from revenge to protecting your sister even when you both exist in a fugue state pulling into question if any of this is really happening or if Agni is losing his mind, the state of the world and Agni’s miserable state, regardless of how bad things get, you’ll find a purpose to keep going you just need to live through this state first. Fire Punch is also full of a surprising amount of Indian imagery, with Agni being the name of a fire god in Hinduism, meaning fire in sanscrit, and judging by the final panels even takes place in a frozen India. It is also generally considered an extremely liberty taking retelling of the story of the Sun and the Moon who chase each other across the sky. A lot of awful things happen in Fire Punch. While a name such as “Fire Punch” may not sound like much outside of an action anime, it’s full of emotional brutality with bizarre, almost parody like imagery, to the degree where you may become as numb to the awful situations as Agni does. With all that said Fire Punch still earns a laugh at the sheer absurdity of how the serious situation is unfolding. The absurdity of the characters’ actions and motivations is possibly their way of coping with their situation; after all, they live in a frozen world where everything is slowly dying, and they cannot see a way out of it, nor are the people in power even trying. So, focusing on a sole purpose and making your personal world smaller is worth appearing a bit absurd if it gives you comfort.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 170 horrifically kills a character, and everyone is traumatized – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 170 horrifically kills a character, and everyone is traumatized Tatsuki Fujimoto/MAPPAAnother major character gets a horrific death in Chainsaw Man Chapter 170, and fans are just as traumatized as Denji. Chainsaw Man never pulls any punches when it comes to killing characters. But it reaches a new height in Chapter 170 when Denji is faced with Nayuta’s severed head on a sushi platter. The chapter, ironically titled ‘How to Eat Sushi’, starts from where the previous one left off. Barem has taken Denji to a sushi restaurant and is forcing him to eat if he ever wants to see Nayuta. He then reveals his plan of using the Chainsaw Man’s power. However, Denji’s transformation is incomplete at present, meaning he can’t use the real power of the feared Devil. According to Barem, Chainsaw Man’s real ability includes erasing Devil names from existence. And for Denji to become the true self of the Devil, he needs two things: everyone’s fear and his unhappiness. Though Chainsaw Man was being revered as a superhero for some time, he’s back to being feared by everyone like death and sickness. So, the only thing left is to make Denji unhappy, and Barem has a twisted way to do so. In a shocking scene, Denji looks on with horror as Nayuta’s severed head comes out in front of him on the conveyor belt. The chapter ends here before we can see his reaction to this horrific sight. Nayuta’s gruesome death has the whole Chainsaw Man fandom traumatized. Tatsuki Fujimoto never hesitates when it comes to making Denji suffer, given how he was made to kill Aki and endure Power’s brutal death, killing the only two people he had for a family. Now he’s lost Nayuta, too. Denji loved her like a little sister and had high hopes for her future. For her to die like this, especially after his traumatic encounter with Yoru, is enough push the protagonist off the edge. Like him, fans are also left speechless by this turn of events. One Reddit user wrote, “This chapter has me SICK, I’m in shock,” while another agreed, “Damn, my man Denji just can’t catch a break.” A third pointed out, “The worst part this is also after he lost the apartment he bought with the money he inherited from Aki, which had Power’s cat, and Makima’s dogs inside. And now Nayuta. He truly has lost everything again.” Another X user tweeted, “Can they stop traumatizing Denji for one chapter,” joined by another, “The actions in this story are utterly shocking! First Denji was manipulated into killing Aki, then his birthday celebration was brutally disrupted. But the absolute madness is putting the girl he cared for on a sushi platter! I’m literally trembling with disbelief!” Denji’s reaction to this horrific scene will be revealed in Chainsaw Man Chapter 171, which will be released on July 16, 2024. Until then, check out the manga updates of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263, My Hero Academia Chapter 427, Oshi no Ko Chapter 154, and Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 finally has Denji go berserk after three years – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 finally has Denji go berserk after three years Tatsuki Fujimoto/MAPPAAfter the break last week, Chainsaw Man is back again with Chapter 171, featuring a harrowed Denji going berserk on Barem. Chainsaw Man never misses an opportunity to make Denji suffer. In Chapter 170, he got the shock of his life when he saw Nayuta’s severed head served on a sushi plate. But before Denji could react to the gruesome scene, the chapter ended. Chapter 171 picks up from there and we finally see the young man’s reaction to the horrific death of his sister figure. After uttering Nayuta’s name in pained disbelief, he grabs Barem’s throat while his intestine spills from his stomach. Soon the intestine wraps around Denji’s throat as he begins to pull Barem’s. It’s a grotesque scene and though it’s quite innkeeping with Chainsaw Man’s signature violence, still manages to shock the readers. Denji pulls at Barem’s throat until his head is ripped off, all the while losing himself in his transformation. This is where the Japanese and English versions of the chapter differ. In the Japanese version, Denji can be seen pulling the string in his chest, while the English version shows Asa’s reaction in its place instead. As Barem lies dead and headless on the floor, Denji’s transformation into the Chainsaw Man is complete. But he isn’t himself anymore, lost in pain and rage. Eventually, he ends up turning the whole restaurant to rubble in his rampage. This is the first time Denji has gone berserk since the Control Devil Arc in Part 1. And given the circumstances that pushed him towards that, it’s completely understandable. However, things may not go so well for the unfortunate young man in the future. Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 shows a new elite group from the Devil Extermination Department arriving at the scene. Known as the Special Division, the group is hellbent on taking down the Chainsaw Man, but without killing him. Looks like Denji has quite a few enemies to fight in the upcoming chapters.

Fumiko tries to put some sense into the crowd, but everyone has already decided to get rid of Chainsaw Man. Denji is left without a choice, so he cuts a man in half in self-defense.

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 150 release date confirmed after delay Viz MediaChainsaw Man fans were eagerly waiting to see Denji’s transformation in Chapter 150, but the manga went on hiatus – fortunately, we have a new release date. A preacher’s manipulation has resulted in a war between the civilians and the members of the Chainsaw Man church. Fumiko tries to help Denji and Nayuta, but the latter keeps irritating her. In the previous chapter, Denji asks Fumiko if he should turn into Chainsaw Man to fight the protestors, but the public safety officer stops his thoughts straight away. However, as things are getting chaotic day by day, it’s safe to assume that we will indeed see our beloved devilish hero back with his chainsaws soon. The Chainsaw Man manga does not receive early spoilers, making each chapter more anticipated. So, without any further ado, let’s find out when the next chapter of the supernatural manga will be released. Chainsaw Man Chapter 150 release date and time Chainsaw Man Chapter 150 will be released on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, for the Japan-based fans, while the International fanbase can find the chapter on Viz Media and Manga Plus on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. Here is the time schedule that you may look into: 7:00am PST – 8:00am Mountain Time – 9:00am CST – 10:00am EST – 3:00pm British Time – 4:00pm European Time – 8:30pm IST – Chainsaw Man Chapter 149 recap The chapter titled “Devil’s Choice” starts with a preacher who says the predictions about the war with devils are accurate. While Denji hides with Fumiko and Nayuta, he asks if he can turn into Chainsaw Man to stop the war. However, Fumiko calls it a terrible idea and says it’s her duty to protect him and Nayuta. The latter says that she is more potent than her and she knows how to take care of herself. The next moment, Denji and Nayuta look forward to heading home to give food to their pets, and when Fumiko tries to stop them, she becomes Nayuta’s enemy, who decides to kill her. Nayuta releases a chain on her, but even though her shot gets missed, the chain hits someone else, who instantly tries to choke Fumiko. However, Denji saves her by distracting his own sister.

  • Chainsaw Man: Denji relapses into a beast in Chapter 152 – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man: Denji relapses into a beast in Chapter 152 Just when things were going well for Chainsaw Man, Denji finds himself reduced to a monster in chapter 152 Since the beginning of the Academy saga in Chainsaw Man, we’ve seen the spotlight shift from our favorite devil-slaying hero, Denji, to the fresh-faced Asa. This does mean that Denji takes a backseat from his role as the main character, much to his displeasure, and tries to live an everyday high schooler life. As Chainsaw Man, we all know that Denji can dish out the damage with no problem and can take as much as he gives, but we’ve seen a distinct lack of chainsaw-based action in favor of letting new characters shine. However, as the audience probably feels, Denji misses being in the action; he misses being Chainsaw Man and might’ve just hit a breaking point. Fair warning: there are spoilers for Chainsaw Man Chapter 152 ahead! Denji loses it in new Chainsaw Man chapter 152 Before all the chaos with the Chainsaw Man Church kicked off, Denji realized how good he had it now that he was being told he didn’t need to be Chainsaw Man anymore. However, if he isn’t Chainsaw Man, who is he? This was the danger of keeping Denji in a metaphorical box, but taking care of Nayuta and all of their pets gave him a good sense of purpose for a while anyway. Denji didn’t have anything to lose before becoming Chainsaw Man; he loses nearly everything he gains during the Public Safety saga and now risks losing everything again by alienating Nayuta, who, while a bit of a sadist, still cares for him. Denji telling Nayuta that she shouldn’t be around him anymore is heartbreaking. Despite being the Control Devil, Nayuta hasn’t seen Denji rip and tear like this up close, and he has been told not to rev up his engine anymore. Denji loves being Chainsaw Man because no one really wants Denji until Nayuta comes along, but the people adore Chainsaw Man and love that he saves them from Devil attacks, which is much more thrilling than day-to-day high school life to Denji. The final single-paged panel may seal our worst fears for Denji while he tanks a hit from the Miri Sugo, the Spear Devil Hybrid, dealing some damage of his own. Denji may be prepared to throw it all away to be Chainsaw Man again, and he’s happy because losing his quaint but boring life may be worth it if he can be back in the spotlight. Killing devils and taking in the applause. It’s simple, but it’s what Denji wants. This is an extremely bleak situation; Denji and Nayuta’s house is burning down, presumably with their pets, including Power’s cat, Meowy, inside. We can only hope Denji snaps out of the alluring draw that being Chainsaw Man offers soon. While Denji gets that Chainsaw Man itch out of his system, we’ll try to scratch your anime itch with our rankings of the most emotional moments in One Piece, and if you’re in a fighting mood, the best fights in One Piece and strongest Dragon Ball Z characters rankings are also up for grabs.

So, can fans look forward to diving into the chapter this week? Chainsaw Man and Denji became one of the most trending topics on social media following the release of Chapter 151. Such enthusiasm among the fandom was expected, as the devilish hero appeared in his true form after a long wait. After the hero’s return, we expect the upcoming installment to be gruesome, but with no verifiable spoilers out, it’s hard to say what events will unfold next.

Before she can release an attack on Barem, Fumiko is grabbed by the Spear Hybrid. When she asks the hybrids how they escaped custody, she learns that while the Public Safety officers were dealing with the Fire Devil, the other hybrids set themselves free. When Denji calls them monsters, Miri starts explaining that the rampage is done for the well-being of the World. She also provokes Denji to turn into the Chainsaw devil for the sake of the World. On the other side, Nayuta struggles to hold Barem with her chain of command. The latter manages to hold Nayuta from her throat and asks Denji to step back if he doesn’t want to see her dead. With so many chaotic things happening, Denji sees no option other than pulling the ripcord on his chest. However, as soon as he pulls the cord, he passes out, and Nayuta runs toward him to see if he is okay. You can check out our other Chainsaw Man coverage here, and our anime content here.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 gets a new release date – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 gets a new release date Viz MediaThe Chainsaw Man manga finally saw the return of our devilish hero, but unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a few more days to see the Devil in his full glory. Well, that’s because the 153rd chapter of the series has been delayed. In the previous chapter, Denji gets involved in a fight with Miri and the other hybrids after appearing as the Chainsaw Man. Despite the enemies’ significant efforts, the Chainsaw Man keeps on dodging every attack. Of course, Denji is weak in his human form but he’s totally opposite as chainsaw man. Chainsaw Man went on a two-week break after Chapter 151. Despite the delay, fans found the chapter worth the wait as it came with our protagonist’s return as the chainsaw man. But the manga is going on hiatus again, and obviously, none of the fans are happy with that. So, when does the anticipated Chapter 153 get released? Chainsaw Man Chapter 153: Release date and time Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 will be released on Manga Plus and Viz Media on January 23, 2024. Here’s the time schedule you should follow: 7:00am PST – 9:00am CST – 10:00am EST – 3:00pm BST – 4:00pm European Time – 8:30pm IST – 11:00pm Philippine Time – Chainsaw Man Chapter 152: Recap Chainsaw Man returns to the picture after a long time, and initially, his comeback scares the people standing nearby. Miri and the Spear Hybrid get ready to fight the devilish hero. Nayuta doesn’t want Denji to fight the hybrids at the moment, so she asks him to escape the location as soon as he can, but the hero disagrees. In his mind, Denji thanks Pochita and tells him he is grateful to be the chainsaw man again. Denji gets attacked by the Whip Hybrid and Miri, but he easily foils each attack. On the other hand, when he gets attacked by the Spear Hybrid, our hero approaches him after cornering both of them. Later, when Whip Hybrid again gets up to attack him, he loses his leg in the conflict. Miri realizes that if the chainsaw man is not stopped soon, he will kill every one of her allies. So, without thinking twice, she attacked him, which the powerful opponent again dodged.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 may solve Makima & Nayuta theory – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 may solve Makima & Nayuta theory Viz MediaChainsaw Man Chapter 153 may have finally answered a long-time question concerning the reincarnation of Makima. Chainsaw Man has taken a very different approach as it started the new Academy saga, moving away from Public Safety and the violent Devil fights, focusing on a new main character, Asa, finding her footing with a new “roommate” and Denji’s more day to day lives until trouble comes knocking on the Chainsaw Man’s front door. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of violent Devil fights. In recent chapters, we’ve moved away from Asa; Denji has been going through it with these thoughts of leaving himself and Nayuta behind, just becoming Chainsaw Man full-time, reveling in the notoriety as well as the fame that came with being a chainsaw-wielding superhero. However, in the newest chapter, Denji may be getting the opposite of what he wants but also might confirm Nayuta’s view of Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man Chapter 153 pushes Makima and Nayuta further apart The long-time idea that Nayuta could be Makima and just taking a while to grow back to that point may be a worry of the past, as an important scene in the new chapter displays Nayuta’s view of our protagonist, Denji. Makima did not want much to do with Denji during the Public Safety Saga but knew she had to tolerate his immaturity to get closer to Chainsaw Man. Not caring about Denji’s humanity or anything he particularly cared about or wanted, not his friends or dreams, Makima only saw Chainsaw Man whenever she looked at Denji. Nayuta is the reincarnation of Control Devil for the continuation after Denji managed to put Makima down in the finale of the previous saga. Nayuta is childish and doesn’t present many concerns outside her family circle. So when Denji succumbs to being Chainsaw Man, outright saying that Nayuta should probably stay away from him, we see from her point of view that whenever she looks at Denji, she actually sees Denji, not Chainsaw Man. Fans have also pointed out this school of thought on the Chainsaw Man subreddit, with u/Zekriy sharing images from the manga to back up the point: Denji wanted to be Chainsaw Man again, but he’s entered a situation where the people don’t like their tree cutter-headed hero anymore, voiding any hopes of him being the big savior role he hoped to return to from previous chapters. Instead of dwelling on his comments, Nayuta doubles down and tries to save Denji from the crowd of rowdy citizens angry at the Chainsaw-head Devil outbreak, which is causing worldwide havoc. Nayuta proves she isn’t Makima as previous concerns can seemingly be put to rest after seeing her definitive few that she only sees Denji for who he is, a big brother who looks after her and their pets. Still, at the same time, someone to protect instead of control, oddly going firmly against the nature of the Control Devil.

That’s because the Spear Hybrid wants to hear people screaming to their full potential at the time of dying, and according to him, only women and children can make his wish come true. Spear Hybrid thinks himself superior to the other hybrids, and that’s why he calls Miri and Whip Hybrid children. Whip Hybrid does not like being called a child, so she gets disappointed and reveals her age. After some time, Spear Hybrid asks them to hurry up and finish smoking. However, he was the only one who was smoking there. Initially, Miri wasn’t sure if he wanted to be a part of the killing spree, but as he did not have another option, he got ready for the transformation. However, before the hybrids could transform, they were all slashed by Quanxi in one go. Her entry was something that no fan saw coming. Quanxi immediately informed her colleagues about the mission’s success. After some time, fake news starts surfacing, stating that the recent attack was done by some gunmen belonging to the Chainsaw Man Church. The news created a panic situation among the church members as a senior member informed them about the hidden weapons that were kept in the basement.

When another member of the public safety department enquires about the minors, the officer says that they have been imprisoned in the Devil control room. He also instructs the other members to call every minor’s parents and media. After that, he decided to catch Asa Mitaka, as she appeared in the poster of Chainsaw Man church. A junior member of the Public Safety informs that the devil name consultant wants to talk to him regarding urgent stuff. Barem is the second-in-command of Chainsaw Man church, so the authorities arrive at his location to arrest him.

  • Chainsaw Man Chapter 139 Release date, Time and spoiler speculation – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man Chapter 139 Release date, Time and spoiler speculation Viz MediaChainsaw Man’s previous chapter was full of chaos, and that makes us wonder what is in store for us in the next chapter. In Chainsaw Man chapter 138, the one who seems to be Denji’s enemy turns out to be his savior. She not only saves him from the man who was holding a gun (even though it was a model gun), but she also reveals that she has been assigned as his bodyguard, and she’ll be protecting him from every person who tries to harm him. Besides that, someone from the past has returned to Denji’s life. Let’s wait and see if this recurring character will turn Denji’s life miserable, or if he will be an ally to him. So, when can we expect Chainsaw Man chapter 139 to get officially released, and what can we expect the chapter to bring to the table? Chainsaw Man Chapter 139: Release date and time Viz Media and Manga Plus will get chapter 139 of Chainsaw Man on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at 8:00am PT.

The girl saves Denji from getting attacked by one of his enemies. While Denji looked confused, seeing all this, Yoshida appears and reveals that the girl’s name is Fumiko Mifune, and she is a public safety officer. He also reveals that she has been given the responsibility of protecting the Chainsaw Man. Later, the chapter also shows Denji getting approached by a strange hooded man. Denji tries to recognize him but couldn’t, so the man himself introduces himself as the Sword Man. Chainsaw Man Chapter 139: What to Expect? As the previous chapter ended by showing the Sword Man introducing himself to Denji, the next chapter might show the duo getting engaged in a conversation. We may also see the Sword Man revealing his real intention of showing up all of a sudden. Moreover, we can also expect other fan-favorite hybrids to appear in the upcoming chapter, such as Reze and Quanxi.

However, in the previous chapter, firstly, Sword Man revealed his name – Miri Sugo – and secondly, he disclosed his motives to Denji. Fortunately, he has not arrived to harm Denji; instead, he wants to recruit Denji for a reputed position in the Chainsaw Man Church. Moreover, he also clearly mentions that not only this is his sole purpose, but he also wants to become friends with the Chainsaw Man, aka Denji. Chainsaw Man Chapter 140: What to Expect?

The second half witnessed the entry of a hybrid named Barem, and that’s what excited the fandom. That’s because Barem seems curious to bring the Chainsaw Man out of Denji. Well, Barem’s real intentions are yet to be revealed as we doubt if he will try to harm Asa so that Chainsaw Man arrives to save her.

The former continues explaining that the building belonged to a cult that was later taken over by the Chainsaw Man Church. Denji then asks Sugo about the girls, but the latter chooses to avoid the topic for the time being. Nobara introduces himself as Sugo and Denji’s guide. The latter is surprised to see students everywhere, so Nobara explains how adults have been affected by the American’s ultraviolet ray weapon in the air. He then says that’s the reason why students had to take responsibility for the church. Denji comes across the Chainsaw Man wedding chapel and is shocked as he has never seen something like that. Nobara then explains to him that he will get an opportunity to get physical with a girl, but after that, he has to marry her. Denji does not look convinced by that. Denji then encounters Barem and gets involved in a conversation with him. Barem asks him if he loves to lead his regular life or if he would like to live as the Chainsaw Man.

Besides that, she also revealed something that comes as a surprise for Denji. The previous chapter has also set the stage for the upcoming attack the hybrids will unleash on innocent civilians. So, there are possibilities we will see Denji returning as the Chainsaw Man to fight every hybrid trying to harm the humans.

Denji says that he will never be Chainsaw Man again. Hearing this, Fumiko mistakenly reveals that she, along with public safety, was keeping an eye on Denji every time, even when he was in the bathroom. Denji gets shocked hearing this. Fumiko wonders if the identity of Chainsaw Man can give Denji respect and acknowledgment, then why does Denji want to live a boring life like a common man? However, Denji says that Chainsaw Man’s life is not a bed of roses either. Well, he is not lying because we all know that his Chainsaw Man identity involves many difficulties, including random attacks from his enemies. After some time, Fumiko tells Denji that she is her fan, but he does not take it seriously and says that every girl literally hates him. Fumiko says that she hates him a bit, too, as he did not save her parents. She then tells him the entire story of her parents’ demise. Later, Fumiko reveals that she is not a Chainsaw Man fan; instead, she admires Denji. Later, Barem approaches Denji and tries to convince him to become Chainsaw Man and fight the devils in the most brutal fashion.

  • Chainsaw Man anime yet to confirm release date or second trailer – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man anime yet to confirm release date or second trailer Shonen JumpThe Chainsaw Man anime is still on the way, however fans are yet to receive a release date, or even a second trailer Chainsaw Man, the hilariously gory upcoming anime which is being overseen by Studio MAPPA and Crunchyroll, is assumed to be coming out this year. However, while many fans expected the release date to be revealed at this month’s Anime Expo 2022, no date ended up being revealed. Not only that, but despite it being over a year since the first trailer was released, no other trailer has been revealed yet either. Chainsaw Man release date: when is it coming out? While no release date has been revealed – and it is unclear when that date will be given – Crunchyroll and MAPPA did tell fans to expect news coming in August at an Anime Expo panel. Could this be the release date? Time will tell. This information was stated by the Anime Trending Twitter account, which was covering the panel. It also stated that additional details would be shared soon, and to “stay tuned to Crunchyroll Expo 2022, set for August 5-7 at San Jose.” So it seems like Crunchyroll Expo could be the place for the release date, and possibly another trailer. If the show is going to premiere in October as people expect then it’d better be, as Chainsaw Man is running out of time to tell people. Chainsaw Man: what is it about? The upcoming Chainsaw Man anime will be based on the Shonen Jump series that is as massively popular as it is dark and gory. You can check out the intense first trailer for the series below: https://twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/1526231008672198657 Created by mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto, the show’s plot, according to Crunchyroll, is as follows: “Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. “One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as ‘Chainsaw Man’ — a man with a devil’s heart.” The series will be directed by Ryu Nakayama, and produced by Studo MAPPA, the same people who did Attack on Titan 4. It will be simulcast on Crunchyroll with subtitles, along with dubs in English, French, and German.

  • Chainsaw Man chapter 138: Release date & spoiler speculation – Dexerto

    Chainsaw Man chapter 138: Release date & spoiler speculation Manga PlusChainsaw Man chapter 138 will be arriving soon – so, here’s all the details regarding its release date and time schedule and theories revolving around spoilers in the next chapter. The previous chapter introduced us to a girl who appears out of nowhere and entices Denji. However, she doesn’t get any signal from Denji, which is actually the most strange part. That’s because every Chainsaw Man manga reader knows about Denji’s perverted desires. There is definitely something behind Denji’s mature behavior that may get exposed in the upcoming chapter. Ahead of chapter 138 of Chainsaw Man, here’s its release date and time, as well as spoiler speculation. Chainsaw Man chapter 138 release date and time Chainsaw Man is returning with chapter 138 after a break of one week, and that’s what makes the chapter even more anticipated. The chapter will get released in Japan on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at 1:00am JST. The readers residing in other time zones must check out the below timings to find out at what time the forthcoming chapter of Chainsaw Man will get dropped at their location on Manga Plus and Viz Media: 8:00am Pacific Time (August 8th) 11:00am Eastern Time (August 8th) 4:00am British Time (August 8th) 5:00am European Time (August 8th) 8:30am Indian Time (August 8th) 11:00am Philippine Time (August 8th) Chainsaw Man chapter 138 spoiler theories The entry of the mysterious girl in the previous chapter gave us goosebumps as she asked Denji to get physically involved with her (no girl has ever done that before). Although, several girls have made fake promises to Denji just to get their work done. No one ever took Denji seriously, and suddenly this girl appeared and started honey-trapping Denji. It is obvious that she is showing interest in Denji to fulfill her motives. However, we don’t have any idea about her intentions yet. Besides that, the chapter also shows several boys with baseball bats waiting for the girl outside the Karaoke Club. Keeping that in mind, we can say that there is something not right about her. The fandom has also started thinking that there are chances we get to see her getting transformed into an enigmatic devil. Post her demonic transfiguration, we might also see her getting into a fight with Denji as she appears holding a bat in the 137th chapter, saying: “This seems more fun.” How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023 Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

  • Castlevania Nocturne: Who is Richter Belmont? – Dexerto

    Castlevania Nocturne: Who is Richter Belmont? NetflixCastlevania: Nocturne finally arrived on Netflix with its spectacular first season, and the first eight episodes of the series made us fall in love with Richter Belmont, the protagonist of the new series. The much-awaited spin-off of Castlevania is set 300 years after the original series, taking us to the brutal days of the French Revolution. Richter Belmont, 10 years after losing his mother to a deadly vampire, lives with his adoptive family. Richter and his adoptive sister, Maria, spend most of their youthful days hunting the monsters lurking in the shadows. In many ways, Richter is just like his ancestor, Trevor Belmont; however, since the boy is only 19 years old, he is shown more carefree and playful. Castlevania: Nocturne does a great job with the characters, be it the side characters or the main protagonist, Richter. However, if you wish to learn more about Richter and his journey in Nocturne, we are here to help you. Who is Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Nocturne? Richter Belmont is the main protagonist of the series Castlevania: Nocturne. He is the last descendant of the Belmont clan. Well, that’s what he says in the series while fighting every vampire. Richter Belmont witnessed his mother’s death at the hands of a vampire when he was very young. Since then, he vowed to kill every vampire out there. So, he was basically carrying on the Belmont family tradition. Richter first appeared in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood video game, where he fought against Count Dracula’s forces. Interestingly, in this story, Annette was Richter’s girlfriend, so now you understand why Nocturne was hinting at the chemistry between these two characters. It’s possible that these two characters will end up together in the series as well. After Rando of Blood, Richter also appeared in Symphony of the Night, Nocturne of Recollection, and Portrait of Ruin. In the last game, Richter guided another Vampire Slayer to use his whip’s full power. So, he was, in fact, the previous Belmont to ever live in the video games. In Nocturne, it was teased that Richter is the most powerful Belmont, thanks to the incredible magic he inherited from his ancestor, Sypha. Well, that was confirmed in the Symphony of the Night game as well. However, Richter was far from being a perfect Belmont, as he got manipulated by an evil entity into reviving Dracula. So, he was as naive in the video games as was shown in the Netflix series. So, get ready to see Richter get even stronger in the upcoming seasons. It’s possible that he’ll get powerful enough to defeat the fearsome Vampire Messiah without any help from other characters.

  • Castlevania producer creates twisted Pokemon universe with terrifying fan trailer – Dexerto

    Castlevania producer creates twisted Pokemon universe with terrifying fan trailer Octopie YouTubeanime, gave a grittier take on Ash Ketchum’s famous world. Shankar has created some of the internet’s more favorite alternate storylines featuring popular franchises. Called his “Bootleg Universe,” the Netflix producer is credited in film shorts revolving around properties like Power Rangers, Judge Dredd, and Punisher, among others. The short films he produces typically deliver on storylines or aspects of a beloved franchise that fans wish were more explored in the official universe but that have no chance of ever releasing. In a June 19 release titled “The End of Pokemon,” audiences meet up with an older Ash whose Pikachu has recently died. Torn from the loss of his best friend, Ash embarks on a new journey to end the “mindless entertainment” that are Pokemon battles. To do this, he starts a revolution to “Free them all” that sees him going to incredible lengths to create a rebellion against the “spectacle of violence” that took away his longtime pal. The fan trailer contains some of the darkest imagery in Pokemon creations, especially since it paints a horrid perspective on the good-natured games that people have been playing since the mid-90’s. But the story in the trailer expands on the morality behind catching ‘em all and shows how gruesome basic Pokemon fights really are through bloody as well ferocious battles laced throughout the video. This is definitely one of the more epic portraits Pokemon has ever been given. While some might hope for an official full featured version that this trailer deserves, it might be a while before Nintendo ever let that happen to their beloved franchise.

  • Castlevania Nocturne ending explained: Who is Alucard? – Dexerto

    Castlevania Nocturne ending explained: Who is Alucard? NetflixCastlevania: Nocturne recently arrived on Netflix, but Richter’s story is far from over – so, here’s our breakdown of the ending, including Alucard’s big appearance. Castlevania: Nocturne is available to stream on Netflix, and within a few hours of its official release, it was praised by fans thanks to the gripping storyline and entrancing animation. From the beginning of the series, there was something that kept every fan on their toes. That’s because the story felt quite unpredictable. No one could imagine what would happen next in the story, especially during the events that took place in the closing moments of the series. Well, if you are in a dilemma thinking about Castlevania: Nocturne’s ending, we have got you covered. Castlevania Nocturne ending: Whose form did Messiah take? The eight-episode titled Devourer of Light starts with showing Messiah getting a transformation of the Egyptian God Sekhmet, whose blood she consumed to become this powerful. Messiah was already worshiped by the vampire army, but by taking Sekhmet’s form, she was feared even more. In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet is said to be the god of war and medicine. She is the daughter of the god of light, the sun. As Messiah was said to be the Devourer of Light, she ultimately took the form of the sun god’s daughter to show her dominance in the world. Honestly, it’s awe-inspiring to see how the creators have incorporated the mythological aspect in Castlevania: Nocturne’s story. Castlevania Nocturne ending: Was Maria rescued? When Maria approached Abbot to help him, she was held captive by the older adult’s night creatures. However, the religious knight of the church, Mizrak, went straightaway to Tera, Richter, and Annette to inform them about Maria’s condition. The trio left for the church immediately, and when they reached there, they saw Maria lying down and Abbot standing beside her with a knife in his hand. Before Abbot could stab Maria with the knife, Tera attacked the father with full force. Abbot asked Tera why god did not send someone else to take Maria’s place. His tears clearly indicated that he wasn’t in favor of all the madness, but he did not have any other choice. Tera says to Abbot that the night creatures are serving the evil and not the god. After that, Richter jumped in as a night creature appeared to harm Tera. While the young Belmont was taking care of all the evil entities, Tera directly went to the place where Maria was held captive to help her. Castlevania Nocturne ending: Does Tera die? Tera loved Maria so much that she couldn’t see her daughter getting sacrificed. When Messiah was coming toward Maria, Richter was the one to use his powers on the vampire, but nothing worked. So, Tera jumped in and tried her magical abilities on Messiah, but she failed as well. Tera asked Abbot to use his night creatures against Messiah to stop her from killing their daughter, but the father didn’t help. Messiah clarified that she did not want to kill Maria; in fact, she wanted to turn her into one of her own kind and bless her with eternal life. However, Tera can’t let it happen, so she sacrifices her mortality, gets bitten by Messiah, and gets turned into a vampire. Hence, she does not die but gets a vampiric transformation. Was the night-creatures forging machine sent back to hell? Messiah used to send the human dead bodies to Abbot, and he used to transform them into night creatures using his forge mastery. The deadly creatures were used by the vampires to fight their battles against humankind. The only way to get rid of the demons was by sending the night-creature manufacturing machine to hell. Tera started chanting the spells to open the portals of hell, and Annette, on the other side, lifted the device so that she could push it toward the doorway. However, Tera had to leave the chanting mid-way to save her daughter from Messiah, so the machine couldn’t pass through the portal. Who is Alucard? Just when Drolta was about to kill Richter, she was stabbed by someone from behind. It was none other than Dracula Tepes’ immortal son, Alucard, who helped Trevor and Syphia fight his own father 300 years ago. In the Castlevania show that came out in 2017, we saw Tepes trying to end humankind after his wife was killed by humans for practicing science. However, Alucard, Dracula’s son, knew that his mother wouldn’t have wanted this genocide. So, Alucard stood against his own father, and in the end, he joined forces with Trevor and Syphia to kill Tepes. However, it’s safe to assume that Alucard went into hiding after that, and that’s the reason why he was considered a myth even by the future generations of the Belmont family. Alucard is from the ancient time, and that’s why, in the new entry, he was seen in a black-and-white palette. Alucard was the biggest surprise Nocturne came up with. The way he said, “I am Alucard,” was enough to give us goosebumps. Out of everyone, only Richter knew who he was but never believed in his existence. Richter admitted in front of Alucard that he believed Dracula Tepes’ son was a myth. See our other Castlevania coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

  • Castlevania: Nocturne – Release date, plot, cast, & more – Dexerto

    Castlevania: Nocturne – Release date, plot, cast, & more NetflixA new Castlevania chapter is coming to Netflix, so here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming anime. Very few video game adaptations have taken the world by storm. True, there’s been the recent The Last of Us HBO series. But before that, there was Netflix’s hit anime series, Castlevania. Based on the gothic video game, the series ran until 2021, where peace was restored in an emotional and beautiful final season, based on the 1989 game Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. However, as fans may well know, peace doesn’t last forever in the Castelvania world. So, here comes another series, with more vampires, and more Belmonts. Here’s everything we know so far. Does Castlevania: Nocturne Have a Release Date? Yes, the animated spin-off show is set to drop on Netflix on September 28. The show was first announced at Netflix’s 2022 Geeked Week, alongside a teaser, more of which you can check out below. Is There a Trailer for Castlevania: Nocturne? Yes, an official trailer just dropped as of July 27, 2023. Watch it below: There has also been a teaser trailer out since 2022, which was released as part of the show’s announcement during Netflix’s Geeked Week. Check it out: The main trailer dropped on September 7, 2023, showing fans even more of Castlevania: Nocturne’s plot and characters. Castlevania: Nocturne cast – Who is working on the show? Not much is know about the voice cast of Nocturne, as it will likely be an entirely new main cast rather than those from the original series. However, that doesn’t mean that they won’t cameo. So far, only Sophie Skelton has been announced as playing Julia Belmont in Episode 1, and not much is know about the character. The voice actors of Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, characters that have been confirmed in the upcoming series through teasers, have not been announced yet. As for characters from the original series, we may hear glimpses of Richard Armitage as Trevor Belmont, and Alejandra Reynoso as Sypha Belnades in flashbacks. Also, if the plot follows the games, Alucard and Dracula could also return in the spinoff, meaning that so will James Callis and Graham McTavish. As for behind the camera, Kevin Kolde, who served as co-executive producer of the original series, will be showrunner, as Warren Ellis will not be returning to helm the project. Clive Bradley will write. Production of the series will be overseen by Project 51 Productions, alongside Powerhouse Animation. What Do We Know About the Plot of Castlevania: Nocturne? Castlevania: Nocturne will likely continue to draw inspiration from the popular Nintendo Konami games. Specifically, the games Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The spin-off will be set in 1792 during the French Revolution, and feature Richter Belmont, a descendant of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades, who takes on the family business of vampire hunting. If the show were to follow the games, the series would follow Richter Belmont after he, Alucard, and Maria Renard kill Dracula. However, Richter is then tricked into falling to the darkness and resurrecting the big vampire. And thus Alucard and Maria must help the hero come back to his senses. Castlevania Seasons 1-4 are currently available to watch on Netflix.

  • Castlevania: Nocturne – Release date, time and episode count – Dexerto

    Castlevania: Nocturne – Release date, time and episode count NetflixHalloween 2023 is around the corner, and what could be the best time for Netflix to add the popular show Castlevania’s spin-off Castlevania: Nocturne? So, when is the upcoming vampire-themed show getting released on the digital platform? The previous Castlevania series has always kept the Belmont family in the spotlight, especially Trevor Belmont, our main protagonist. In the spin-off, the focus will still be on the Belmont Clan, but this time, it will be Richter Belmont, the last descendant of the family. Besides that, the Castlevania series was set up in the Wallachia region of Romania, and in Castlevania: Nocturne, we will be seeing the events taking place in France in the midst of the French Revolution. Like the previous Castlevania won every viewer’s heart with its old-school animation and horrifying storyline, we expect to get the same experience from the upcoming series. Castlevania: Nocturne – Release date and time Castlevania: Nocturne will be released on Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 9:00am PT on Netflix. Fans in different time zones can follow the below given time schedule for a hassle-free viewing experience: 9:00am PDT – 11:00am CDT – 12:00pm EDT – 5:00pm BST – 6:00pm CEST – 9:30pm IST – Castlevania: Nocturne episode count Castlevania: Nocturne will consist of eight episodes, all of which will be released on September 28, 2023 on Netflix. Each episode will have a runtime of 25 minutes, so you will get to watch the new content for around 200 minutes. While the previous Castlevania series showcased the ruthlessness of Dracula Vlad Tepes, the upcoming one will come with a different threat to humankind in the form of Vampire Messiah. Apart from her, we will get to meet the new characters in an entirely new storyline. Until now, the new Castlevania series has received three visually appealing trailers that give us a glimpse of the new characters and the plot. The animation style and the character designs can be considered the show stealers. Moreover, this time, we can get an even more spectacular action-packed storyline with lots of emotional depth.

  • Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 officially confirmed by Netflix – Dexerto

    Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 officially confirmed by Netflix NetflixCastlevania: Nocturne just dropped on Netflix, and fans have already started wondering if the series has been renewed for Season 2. Well, after a week-long break, we finally have a piece of good news for the Castlevania fandom. Back in 2017, Castlevania made its name by offering us a thrilling story with fantastic animation. Well, the new series in the same universe comes with an even more mesmerizing animation style that no fan will ever get tired of praising. Besides that, what makes the new Castlevania intriguing is the fantastic characters and the surprise entry of Alucard, a fan-favorite character from the original series. And by bringing Alurard into the picture, the creators have put the eagle-eyed fans in a dilemma. Even if Drolta gets killed by Alucard, there are more significant threats that the Belmont has to deal with, especially the strongest of all, Messiah. So, if the cameo of Alucard means that he will once again help the Belmont clan deal with the vampires as he did before, there are possibilities of the next season becoming even more action-packed. Castlevania: Nocturne will be back with Season 2 Yes, Netflix has officially confirmed that Castlevania: Nocturne is getting a Season 2. The news surfaced online within a week of the first season’s official release. The official announcement thanked the fandom for all the support they provided to the show, and the studio also released a captivating teaser for season 2. You can also see glimpses of Alucard in the teaser. Seeing the positive reception and the cliffhanger ending, we already knew the series would be renewed, but it’s surprising that the streaming giant announced the season so early. The production studio of Castlevania: Nocturne is currently working on several projects, including Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, and now they have Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 on their table as well. We can’t be more sure that the second season will return with even better quality compared to the first one. Also, we should keep our hopes high for the second season getting much darker, especially after the surprising entry of Alucard in the finale. Since the season got greenlit in October 2023, we can expect the series to come back sometime in 2024. The studio hasn’t given us a release window for Season 2, but seeing the pattern that the original Castlevania series followed for the four seasons, a 2024 release window for Nocturne Season 2 sounds possible. See our other Castlevania coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

  • Netflix drops massive Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 update, and it’s good news – Dexerto

    Netflix drops massive Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 update, and it’s good news NetflixThe Belmonts are finally returning to our screens, as Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2’s release window has been confirmed. In 2023, we were introduced to Richter Belmonte, a vampire hunter during the French Revolution who’s working to prevent a particularly nasty entity. Descended from Trevor, Richter and his allies stand against Erzebet, a vampiric messiah boasting incredible strength. Netflix has just confirmed that Season 2 of the anime show is coming January 2025. Not a moment too soon, as updates have been light since we heard about the renewal. Castlevania: Nocturne followed the lineage of the games by jumping from Trevor Belmont to another in his bloodline who’s also tackling bloodsuckers. Richter’s situation is considerably different, taking place in France in 1792, rather than in Romania. Ultimately, though, the war rages ever onward, and Richter has to try to stop a new super-vampire from acquiring full power. He’s eventually joined by Alucard, Trevor’s ally who decides to join this crusade as well, providing a more explicit connection between the two TV shows. After running for four seasons, Castlevania was finished in 2021, paving the way for Nocturne to take over, replicating the structure of the games where different eras have different heroes and so on. Clive Bradley is the writer and showrunner, while Sam and Adam Deats directed all the episodes of Season 1. We don’t yet know the full creative team for the second season, but it’s probably safe to assume everyone is returning too alongside Bradley. January 2025 is a good time to put these episodes out, as the end of this year has become stacked with upcoming anime. We have Dandadan, Dragon Ball Daima, Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3, and more. Great as it is to have selection, it’s good for there to be breathing room as well. Now, the only rival Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 has is Solo Leveling Season 2. A fine start to the year!

  • Castlevania Nocturne: Who is Julia Belmont? – Dexerto

    Castlevania Nocturne: Who is Julia Belmont? NetflixSometimes the characters who receive the least screen time in a show leave a never-lasting mark on the hearts of the viewers – and one such character is Julia Belmont from Castlevania: Nocturne. Castlevania: Nocturne is a spin-off to the original series. The events of the new entry take place three centuries after the events of the previous one. The new series came with even better animation and the fight sequences that are way more impactful. Even though the series is an animated adaptation of the video games of the popular franchise, the creators showed their creativity and reworked several elements for good. For instance, the Annette we met in the games is way more different from the one we saw in the recently released series. There are plenty of things from Castlevania: Nocturne that are worth discussing. And this article sheds light on Julia Belmont. Who is Julia Belmont from Castlevania: Nocturne? Julia Belmont is Richter’s deceased mother and a vampire hunter who possessed free-hand combating skills and magical abilities running in the Belmont bloodline for ages. She was seen in the early moments of the series when we learned how desperate she was to send her son to France. In the source material, the character was never mentioned, so it’s safe to assume that the creators crafted this character especially for the new show. In the series, when she walks through the lane in Boston with her son, the duo is approached by a vampire, who without any delay releases several attacks on Julia. The poor woman uses magic to defend against the attacks, but unfortunately, her skills do not help her fight the strong foe. Hence, the 10-year-old Richter sees his mother dying in the middle of the street. Why does Orlox kill Julia? Orlox once loved someone who was a revolutionary, who made him trust the concept of freedom. As Orlox loved him, he wanted to spend his entire life with him, so he turned him into a vampire. However, one day, the man-turned-vampire is killed by Julia Belmont. So, Orlox avenged the death of his loved one by killing Julia. Orlox also vowed to kill Richter, but he wanted the young boy to grow up first. Who voices Julia Belmont in Castlevania: Nocturne? Julia Belmont is voiced by the English actor Sophie Skelton. The 29-year-old actor has appeared in several series and films, but she is mainly recognized for her spectacular performances in the historical drama Outlander, in which she portrayed Brianna Fraser. How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023 Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

  • Hayao Miyazaki’s first movie coming back to theaters for 45th anniversary – Dexerto

    Hayao Miyazaki’s first movie coming back to theaters for 45th anniversary TOHOHayao Miyazaki’s first movie is turning 45 this year, and a special re-release has been announced so more fans can finally check out the historic film. Although he’s synonymous with Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki had a considerable career in anime movies and TV shows before co-founding the legendary production house. Starting in the late ’60s, he spent years performing various jobs, growing his skills and accruing experience. He transitioned to the director’s chair in the late ’70s, for The Castle of Cagliostro, a film in the long-running Lupin III franchise. The picture came out in 1979, and now it’s returning to cinemas. The Castle of Cagliostro is coming to theatres in Japan starting November 29, 2024. Right now, the extent of this release and other details haven’t been announced, but it’s an exciting prospect nonetheless. Given the success of Studio Ghibli, Hayao’s career beforehand has been totally eclipsed by pictures such as My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Spirited Away. He’s synonymous with the studio he helped create, build and sustain, and that’s only fitting. But one disappointing aspect is that Castle of Cagliostro doesn’t always get a huge amount of attention, despite being a distinctive part of Hayao’s filmography. It’s not fantastical in the way much of his other work is, but still has that vitality and infectious zest that comes from his narratives. Whatever kind of story Hayao is telling, there’s always an upbeat energy, a sense of optimism and adventure, and his Lupin III has that in spades. He co-wrote the script with Haruya Yamazaki, a screenwriter for whom this was his biggest credit. All told, Castle of Cagliostro is a gem that doesn’t often come to the big screen, so if you’re in Japan, check it out. We’ll keep you informed of anything in the US or elsewhere for the film. You can use our upcoming anime guide for other legends of the medium to keep an eye on.

  • Castlevania Nocturne: 10 strongest characters ranked – Dexerto

    Castlevania Nocturne: 10 strongest characters ranked NetflixIt’s been a couple of weeks since Castlevania: Nocturne was released, but the community is not getting tired of discussing the series, especially the well-written characters. Well, as the series came with a plethora of powerful characters, here, we have ranked Nocturne’s 10 strongest characters based on their combating skills. Castlevania: Nocturne followed Richter Belmont, upon whom falls the responsibility of carrying forward the legacy of the Belmont family. Even though he seems a young and carefree boy, there’s so much more about him that needs to unfold, which, of course, opens the door for a potential second season. Apart from Richter, there were so many characters in Nocturne who deserve to be acknowledged, be it the side characters or the villains. Even though there are several characters who are in their growing phase, we have prepared a non-biased list from the experience we’ve gathered after watching them and their unique abilities on our screens. 10. Julia Belmont Julia Belmont is a descendant of the Belmont family, and she is one of the rare members of her bloodline who has the ability to perform magic as well as being an excellent fighter. Despite her brilliant capabilities, we have ranked her the lowest because we couldn’t get the chance to learn her true potential. Leaving that aside, it’s worth noting that she is a fearsome character from the Castlevania universe who almost killed the deadly vampire Olrox when she and Richter were approached by the foe himself. 9. Juste Belmont Juste Belmont is Richter’s grandfather who went into hiding after his wife and best friend’s death. He spent several years in isolation, but one day, he crossed paths with Richter while having a meal at a bar. He showcased his fighting abilities when he killed a bunch of vampires in one go with Richter’s leather whip. Juste himself revealed to Richter that he was the most proficient magician of the entire Belmont family. Unfortunately, he lost all his magic abilities when he decided not to hunt vampires in his prime following the death of his precious ones. Even though he can not perform magic, he is still good at killing the foes with the whip. Castlevania: Nocturne does not divulge the true potential of the oldie, but we can expect to see his abilities add to Richter’s abilities in a potential second part. 8. Abbot Abbot doesn’t come with any physical abilities. Instead, he uses black magic to forge night creatures and supply them to the vampire community. He does this to ensure that whenever the revolutionaries try to harm the church, he will receive help from the evil. His manipulative yet complex nature helped Messiah become the strongest and get what she wanted. Even if he isn’t a good combatant, there is no denying that he is, of course, one of the strongest characters of the series because of the black powers he holds. 7. Maria Renard Maria plays a crucial role in the series as she is one of the main protagonists in the Nocturne universe. She is the daughter of Tera and possesses magic abilities. Most of the time, she is seen summoning birds whenever an enemy shows up. In Castlevania: Nocturne animated series, Maria was seen fighting toe to toe with the deadly vampires, including Drolta. However, she’s not ready to fight an enemy alone yet, so we must wait and see her return as a potent warrior in the upcoming seasons. 6. Annette Annette travels to meet Richter all the way from the Carribean. Her skills and abilities are seen when she, along with Edouard, protects Richter and his adoptive family from the night creatures. Later, her magic abilities blow everyone’s mind when she creates an entire bridge using her sorcery to run from the vampires. She also has proficiency with metal which allows her to create any weapon out of that. Annette also excels in swordsmanship, as she is able to fight several vampires using two swords at a time. Besides that, she is not just physically strong but mentally strong too. When Richter asks her to kill Edouard to free him from the night creature life, she agrees, saying that if it’s good for her friend, she will do it. 5. Richter Belmont You might be thinking, why have we listed Richter as the fifth strongest character and not the first one? Well, that’s because he needs time and has to train hard to become number one. Even though he fights the vampires using his whip, he is not confident of his powers. Coming from the family of Belmonts, Richter possessed immense powers since childhood, but he lost all his abilities when he lost his mother to death. When he meets Juste, his powers get awakened as Nikolai and his men almost kill him. Even though he got his powers back, he must take time to get a grip on them. 4. Olrox Olrox was the first vampire to appear in the Netflix series. He killed Julia Belmont and haunted Richter in his nightmares for years. Like every vampire, Olrox also possesses superhuman speed, strength, and agility. But apart from these, what makes him a formidable foe is his shapeshifting abilities. For instance, he can take the form of minimalistic things as well as a gigantic figure. Olrox is also a great manipulator who can brainwash anyone to accomplish his goals. After Graham’s death, he manipulated his followers and used them for his own selfish desires. 3. Drolta Drolta is the right hand of the main antagonist of the show, Messiah. She is a sadistic vampire who does not like to kill humans instantly but loves to watch them suffer. Drolta’s cruelty knows no limits, and that’s why she is one of the loyal vampires of Messiah’s troop, who is always ready to hunt down the teenage boys and girls for the queen. She possesses every trait like the other vampires, but what makes her different is her cunningness. 2. Alucard Alucard came as a surprise in Nocturne’s universe, as no one saw his cameo coming. He is the one who helped Trevor defeat the mighty Dracula in the original Castlevania. Castlevania: Nocturne sees Alucard making a shocking entry in its last episode, where he kills Drolta while she attacks Richter from behind. He also confirms his hatred for vampires, so we can expect to see him standing beside Richter in his fight against Messiah. Apart from incredible physical strength, Alucard has flight abilities and can control his sword through his mind. 1. Messiah Messiah is the strongest character in the series, who controls everything from start to finish. She influenced Abbot to create multiple night creatures. Besides that, she drank the blood of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet and became more powerful. Before getting the vampiric transformation, Messiah’s character was no different as she was a serial killer in her human life who loved to torture people before killing them. And now that she is a vampire, it is almost impossible to defeat her. Hence, it remains to be seen how the characters will face this strong entity in the further seasons.

  • Castlevania Nocturne: Belmont family tree explained – Dexerto

    Castlevania Nocturne: Belmont family tree explained NetflixNow that Castlevania: Nocturne on Netflix has brought the franchise into the 1790s, here’s a breakdown of the Belmont family tree, including Trevor Belmont. In the first Castlevania anime show, we met Trevor Belmont, the potent fighter of his clan who battled against Dracula Tepes for the sake of humankind. The latest entry in the franchise, Castlevania: Nocturne, features Richter Belmont, whom we saw fighting against the strongest vampire, Messiah. Although we have been introduced to the aforementioned Belmonts in the Netflix original anime based on the popular video games, it doesn’t mean they are the only vampire hunters of their bloodline. So, if you are intrigued to learn about the other vampire slayers of the iconic Belmont clan, read on, and we’ll explain all. Castlevania Nocturne: Belmont family tree The Belmont family spans many generations, across almost 1,000 years. In all that time, one thing has remained: Belmonts hunting vampires. From the first Belmont to seek out bloodsuckers right to their modern day ancestors, the clan has remained steadfast in dealing with any vampiric activity. Leon Belmont – 11th Century (1072) Leon Belmont was the first Belmont to get the title of Vampire hunter in the late 11th century. He was the main protagonist of the game Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Leon became the reason why his family got into the business of vampire hunting. After losing both parents at a very young age, Leon became a knight when he was 16. One day, one of his close friends informed him that his fiance, Sara Trantoul, had been abducted by a vampire. While embarking on the journey to rescue his love, he met an older adult who handed him a magical whip to fight the evil. And since then, the whip has been passed on to his descendants to smack every vampire. Trevor C. Belmont – 15th Century (1456) Trevor Belmont played primary as well as supportive roles in several video games of the franchise. He also appeared in the animated series Castlevania, in which he had to fight the evil Dracula, Tepes, who vowed to kill every person in Wallachia. Trevor made several allies, including Sypha and Dracula’s son, Alucard. Trevor and his family were initially feared by the people, but he made a good reputation for the family, so later, everyone started greeting them with respect. Trevor and Sypha eventually fell in love and got married. Well, that’s why every future generation inherited physical abilities as well as magic. Christopher Belmont – 16th Century (1576) After getting killed at the hands of Trevor, Dracula resurrects himself 100 years later, and that’s when Christopher has to step in to stop him from causing chaos in the human world. He used the same whip that his ancestor used to defeat the deadly creature. However, before he could defeat Dracula, he saw his son getting influenced by his enemy. So, he had to go through a lot before the victory. Christopher Belmont appeared as the main protagonist of the first two games created by Konami for Nintendo. Soleil Belmont – 16th Century (1576) Soleil Belmont served as the antagonist in the story of Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge, as he was manipulated by Dracula after 15 years of getting defeated by his father, Christopher Belmont. Instead of helping his father, he turned against him as he was influenced by Dracula to a greater extent. Soleil Belmont was kidnapped by Dracula ahead of the ceremony that was held to announce him as the next vampire hunter of the family. Fortunately, Christopher freed him from Dracula’s influence before he could resurrect the blood-sucker. Simon Belmont – 17th Century (1669) Simon is the most renowned character the franchise has given us, as he is the one who has appeared in the majority of the Castlevania games. In fact, he has also appeared in other titles that were not created by Konami. As Simon grew up listening to the story of his brave ancestors, he became determined to train harder so that he could maintain his family’s reputation. When, 100 years after the defeat, Dracula again resurrected, Simon decided to fight him all alone, so he entered the enemies’ castle to fight him. He had the best grasp over the Belmont whip and his abilities when compared to the other members of the clan. Juste Belmont – 18th Century (1730) Juste Belmont is Simon’s grandson, and he possesses every skill that a vampire slayer must have. Since childhood, he used to be very reserved, and that’s why he never made any friends except Lydie and Maxim. Juste Belmont was protective of his loved ones and was always the first one to take the damage to protect his family and friends. Seeing his efforts while fighting evil, the Belmont Clan was once again accepted by society with open arms. Richter Belmont – 18th Century (1773) Richter Belmont witnessed the death of his mother at a very young age. He spent his entire life with his adoptive family in France. Richter is one of the toughest and hot-blooded vampire hunters of his clan. After his mother’s death, he decided to avenge her death from every vampire, so he trained himself harder. On his journey, he received alliance from his cousin Maria and two survivors, Annette and Edouard. Later in the story, he falls in love with Annette and gets married to her. Julius Belmont – 20th Century (1980) Julius is the last known descendant of the Belmont family. He is considered one of the most vital members of the family, as he was the one who finally brought down Dracula in 1999. However, after this battle, Julius suffered from amnesia. For several years, Julius wandered the lands, trying to unravel his past. Julius then stumbles upon Dracula’s castle and learns the truth about his identity and the fact that a cult is trying to resurrect the dark lord. So, Julius once again finds himself fighting against the evil. See our other Castlevania coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

  • Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix review: Not a typical adaptation – Dexerto

    Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix review: Not a typical adaptation Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon remix blasted onto our screens as the video game adaptation game-changer we needed. Before Netflix‘s The Witcher, the “video game adaptation curse” cast a shadow over the entertainment industry – until now. Renowned for his work on the critically acclaimed Castlevania series, executive producer Adi Shankar takes viewers on an exhilarating journey into the Ubisoft universe. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sets out to push the boundaries of video game adaptations. By weaving beloved characters from Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, Watch Dogs 2, and Rainbow Six Siege into a compelling narrative, the series offers a unique blend of nostalgia, high-octane action, and a sometimes uncomfortable exploration of themes prevalent in today’s society. So prepare for a rollercoaster ride through Ubisoft‘s rich history. Shankar’s signature creative input, alongside producers Gerard Guillemot, Hélène Juguet, and Hugo Revon, brings to life a world that shouldn’t work as an anime series – but somehow does. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix – what’s it all about? Even if you think you know everything there is to know about the Ubisoft universe, it’s time to empty your mind. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix isn’t a typical adaptation. If you expect Far Cry with animated characters, then you’ll likely be disappointed. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix takes an unconventional route that’s almost nothing like its source material. Loosely inspired by Far Cry 3’s Blood Dragon, the show introduces an array of characters from various games and seamlessly integrates them into a single, coherent world. It’s a bold move that pays off, creating a reality where this assortment of characters coexist and unite as heroes against a formidable authoritarian regime. Dolph Laserhawk, portrayed by Nathaniel Curtis, is our main protagonist. Once a former cybernetically enhanced super soldier, we meet him as a disgraced fugitive with a tragic past and follow his journey alongside his boyfriend, Alex Taylor, portrayed by Boris Hiestand from Ubisoft’s “The Crew.” But the series (and their relationship) takes a dark turn when a final heist ends in betrayal, leading to Laserhawk’s imprisonment in the high-security Supermaxx prison. While in prison, Eden implants an explosive device in Laserhawk’s brain, forcing him into the unwanted position of leading a group of captive rebels known as the “Ghosts.” The alternative is gruesome: the explosives will detonate, and they’ll lose their heads instead of being returned to prison. So, if you’re not a fan of animated violence and gore, be warned as Captain Laserhawk doesn’t pull any punches. A compelling universe with a lot to take in As Season 1 unfolds, Dolph Laserhawk seeks revenge against Alex, who has taken it upon himself to lead a new rebel movement. But what’s the catch? Achieving his goal requires working with Eden and the people who set him on this dangerous path. The 20-minute episodes deliver a whirlwind of action – and if you blink, you might miss crucial transitions. However, Shankar’s ability to weave a myriad of references from video game-inspired shows like Captain N: The Game Master and the hit film series The Suicide Squad adds another layer of depth to the series. Captain Laserhawk blends influences from Shankar’s previous work, creating a post-apocalyptic megacity similar to the film Dredd. Collaborating with animation studio Bobbypills and Crisis Jung, the series merges traditional cel animation with 3D game graphics – that was initially disconcerting – embracing its Remix title to the full. What truly sets Captain Laserhawk apart is its audacious experimentation. The series pushes the boundaries of storytelling with a unique stylistic approach. It brilliantly integrates pixelated live-action footage to distinguish timelines and tackles complex character transformations with remarkable agility. The result is a breathtaking season that keeps viewers engaged from start to end. Is there room to improve? Beyond the action sequences, Captain Laserhawk dives deep into the workings of an oppressive society, and explores how they exert control over their subjects. Yet somehow, alongside all this, the series manages a delicate balance between dark humor and thought-provoking themes. That being said, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon’s Remix still has its flaws. With only six episodes, there’s a lot to cram in, and at times, it struggles to maintain focus, with significant events from earlier episodes forgotten as the story progresses. Furthermore, the series leaves several elements unresolved. This results in viewers searching for closure while they’re whisked away to the next act. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix review score: 3/5 Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix offers a unique and exhilarating viewing experience and a bold fusion of action and comedy that pays tribute to Ubisoft’s rich character universe. For fans of the Castlevania series and gamers alike, Captain Laserhawk presents a treasure trove of binge-worthy enjoyment as fans wait for the announcement of Season 2.

  • Bungou Stray Dogs fans slam manga’s “bad” habit with character deaths – Dexerto

    Bungou Stray Dogs fans slam manga’s “bad” habit with character deaths BonesThe latest chapter of Bungou Stray Dogs has fans unhappy over one “bad” habit of the series relating to character deaths. Bungou Stray Dogs, written by Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Sango Harukawa, just released its new chapter. Numbered as Chapter 114.5 and titled ‘Ressurectio, Part 2’, it has a number of shocking revelations. While the latest installment is very important for finally revealing Fyodor’s ability Crime and Punishment, it also makes the unexpected revelation that Fukuchi is still alive. This is a shocking twist as he seemingly got his conclusion only two chapters ago. Ever since his introduction in Bungou Stray Dogs, Fukuchi has faced a number of death scares. He was seemingly killed by Atsushi and Akutagawa’s tag team but he survived by using his ability and turning back time. His last and most prominent death was by Teruko in Chapter 113. In the chapter, Teruko stabbed him through the chest after Fukuzawa failed to kill his childhood best friend. The stab was lethal and pierced through his heart, seemingly leading to his death. However, Chapter 114.5 reveals that despite the lethal wound, Fukuchi still didn’t die. This doesn’t sit right with the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom. Fans are now criticizing the series for never killing any of its major characters, with the exception of Oda. Characters like Dazai and Fyodor have had multiple fake-outs with no real damage in the end. The only character who has is Oda, with his death changing the trajectory of Dazai’s life. The criticism centers on the idea that frequent fake-outs diminish the impact of a character death. Bungou Stray Dogs has always excelled in infusing emotions within its characters, but failing to include real deaths has sparked criticism. “The day Asagiri kills someone important in the manga, a world ends (apart from Odasaku etc),” comments a user on X/Twitter. “Seriously, it’s bad writing how nobody actually dies when they’re supposed to,” says another. Another user writes, “I fully thought Fukuchi was dead. Some characters really need to start actually dying in this show, I swear.” Despite the criticism, the series might be on its way to correct this habit. In the latest chapter of the Bungou Stray Dogs manga, Bram died, having Fyodor subsume him with his ability. However, whether Bram stays dead for long is yet to be seen.

  • Bungou Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 5: Release date, time & preview – Dexerto

    Bungou Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 5: Release date, time & preview CrunchyrollBungo Stray Dogs season 5 is so far said to be the best of all seasons to date. Well, that’s because the ongoing season is quite unpredictable. As soon as we start thinking that everything is going smoothly, the story takes a heart-wrenching twist, leaving us dubious about what’s going to happen next. The previous episode reveals Fukuchi’s real identity and intentions. Even though he couldn’t succeed with his first plan, he becomes determined to proceed with the second. Now, as the anime moves further, it would be exciting to see Atsushi fighting a smart-witted villain like Fukuchi. So, without any further ado, let’s find out the release details and the preview information ahead of Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 5’s release. Bungou Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 5: Release date and time Bungou Stray Dogs season 5 episode 5 will get released on Japan’s local broadcasting channels on Wednesday, 9, 2023, at 11:00pm JST.

It is said that the loathsome relics born from such a war will be delivered to Fukuchi, who commands the “Human Army”, which has all the armies on earth under its umbrella. The detective agency employees headed to the airport to stop the plan of “Tenjin Goshu”, which is trying to conquer the world.” What to expect from the upcoming episode of Bungou Stray Dogs? As per the manga, the upcoming episode titled ‘At the Portway to the Sky, Part 1’ will show Atsushi and his peers going after Kamui to stop him from succeeding in his mission. On the other side, while wandering at the Airport, Aya overhears something that scares her. Later, she crosses paths with Jono, a cop whom Fukuchi wants to get included in his plans. So, it would be interesting to see how Aya will react to all this. Without spoiling anything for the hardcore fans, let’s just say that several other things in the upcoming episode will blow everyone’s mind. It’s surely going to be the best episode of the season so far and will lay the foundation for the upcoming events that’ll unfold in the ongoing story arc.

    Burn The Witch #0.8: Official trailer, release date & more CrunchyrollDiscover everything you need to know about the high-anticipated prequel to Burn The Witch, including its official trailer, release date and more. From the mind of Bleach creator Tite Kubo and set in the same universe as the iconic series, the spin-off series Burn The Witch unfolds 12 years after the Quincy Blood War and two years from the events in Chapter 686: Death and Strawberry. Burn The Witch first appeared in 2018 as a 62-page one-shot published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Less than two years later, it expanded into a four-chapter miniseries accompanying the 2020 film. And it continued to captivate followers through a collaboration with the gacha game Bleach: Brave Souls. After a three-year pause, fans had reason to celebrate on September 17 due to the announcement of the prequel series via an enticing teaser trailer that followed the ninth episode of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. So, here is everything we know. Burn The Witch #0.8 release date Burn The Witch #0.8 will premiere worldwide on December 29, 2023.

As agents of the Wing Bind, they’re both eager to climb the ranks within their organization and reap the financial reward. But it won’t be easy. They have a new (boring babysitting) mission: to protect a young man named Balgo Ywain Parks and his Pomeranian, Osushi, from the menacing dragons. Will they succeed?

  • Can Gear 5 Luffy beat Ultra Instinct Goku? – Dexerto

    Can Gear 5 Luffy beat Ultra Instinct Goku? CrunchyrollOne Piece gave one of the powerful transformations to its main protagonist Luffy in the form of Gear 5. Since the day the transformation made it to the screens, every fan wondered can Luffy beat Goku’s Ultra Instinct in his Gear 5 form. While Gear 5 is considered to be the most potent transformation Luffy ever had, Goku’s Ultra Instinct transformation made him the strongest he ever was in the Dragon Ball universe. Both the power-ups come with their own perks, and it’s not easy to decide which one gives its user the ability to surpass the other. However, still, we have presented to you a calculative summary that sheds light on One Piece‘s Gear 5 and Dragon Ball’s Ultra instinct, which will definitely help you to find a solid answer to your questions. Luffy Gear 5 abilities explained Luffy awakened his Gear 5 abilities during his final battle with the deadly Yonko Kaido, who pummeled the strongest creature in the world. The Straw Hat pirate was already a rubber man, and Gear 5 gave him even more physical strength to channel his maximum power. Not only that but the Gear 5 Luffy can also morph the surroundings into rubber, just like his body. Gear 5 also provides Luffy with immense freedom to fight as he pleases, superhuman strength, speed, and durability. All of these enhanced aspects gave him the courage to stand in front of Kaido as an equal competition. For instance, Luffy looked like an ant in front of the massive dragon Kaido, but after awakening Gear 5, Luffy was able to manipulate his size, which helped him acquire a gigantic build. Besides that, when Kaido swallows him, it doesn’t take him much time to blow himself out of the dragon’s mouth. Due to Gear 5, Luffy came out of Kaido’s Bolo Breath attack barely injured – thanks to the newfound transformation that basically made him the only character in One Piece that has the powers of God. With the abilities of Gear 5, Luffy can also make use of his Gear 3’s limb inflation and Gear 4’s muscle inflation with ease. Despite having these abilities, will he be able to defeat the mighty Goku in his Ultra Instinct form? Well, before getting to the conclusion, let’s just discuss Ultra Instinct Goku’s responsibility. Goku Ultra Instinct Explained Ultra Instinct is said to be such a godly power that snatches the consciousness from its user and allows them to fight more effectively despite being subconsciously awake. In the entire Dragon Ball universe, there is no other power that matches the level of the Ultra Instinct. In fact, the one who masters it gets the ability to surpass the powers of the most powerful Saiyan, i.e., Super Saiyan Blue. When Goku initially found the UI abilities, the mighty god Beerus was shocked because until then, not even a god was able to achieve the power-up. In fact, Beerus himself trained to master the ability for several years, but he couldn’t succeed. Full context: Beerus is the God of Destruction in the Dragon Ball universe and holds the power to destroy an entire planet by simply snapping his fingers. However, unlike Goku, he couldn’t master UI, which indirectly implies that Goku is even more powerful than Beerus because of Mastered Ultra Instinct. UI’s abilities were measured when Goku fought against the powerful alien Jiren and knocked him down without even breaking a sweat. Jiren was a being who was feared even by the Gods of his universe, and Goku being able to dominate Jiren says enough about Saiyan’s powers. When fighting Jiren, Goku, in his UI form, was able to release massive defensive and offensive attacks that helped him surpass the opponent. Luffy Gear 5 vs. Goku Ultra Instinct- Who Would Win? Even though Luffy’s Gear 5 is the most powerful of all other power-ups in the One Piece universe, it can’t defeat Goku UI for the time being. Firstly, Goku has taken several years to master the Ultra Instinct abilities, and secondly, he has beaten Jiren, who is considered the most powerful being in the multiverse. Gear 5 Luffy is obviously powerful, but there’s no chance that Luffy is stronger than Jiren, and if he is not stronger than him, how can he knock down someone who has surpassed even Jiren’s powers? Moreover, as Goku has mastered his technique, UI doesn’t tire him up even after he utilizes it for several hours, but Luffy starts getting exhausted once Gear 5 exceeds its time limit. Thus, Luffy has no option but to finish the ongoing battle as soon as he can. Well, we are not saying Luffy won’t be able to beat Goku’s UI ever, but it’s just that he needs to master the ability before facing off against someone as powerful as Goku’s Mastered UI version.

  • Bungo Stray Dogs: Is the manga finished? – Dexerto

    Bungo Stray Dogs: Is the manga finished? Studio BonesBungo Stray Dogs Season 5 has finally delivered its last episode, leaving fans wondering whether or not the manga is already finished or if there is more content in the source material for the next season of the anime – here’s what you need to know. The Bungo Stray Dogs manga started its serialization in 2012, and since then, it has received several spin-offs, one of which focused on the past lives of its prominent characters, Dazai and Chuya. The spin-off was titled Bungo Stray Dogs: Dazai, Chuya, Jugosai. The franchise also released several light novel adaptations of the manga over the years. The story of Bungo Stray Dogs revolves around a detective agency, every member of which possesses special abilities which help them to solve the complicated mysteries that come their way. Despite coming with a complex storyline, Bungo Stray Dogs is a seinen franchise that needs to be acknowledged by the community as the shonen franchises are. So, it’s no wonder fans who want the series are heartbroken that Season 5 has come to an end. Is Bungo Stray Dogs manga finished? No, the Bungo Stray Dogs manga is not yet finished. For the time being, the manga is at its 23rd volume and is about to get chapter 111 soon. The first episode of Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 started with chapter 78, and in the 10th episode, the series covered the events from chapter 108. Hence, it would be safe to assume that the 11th episode will feature the events from Chapter 109 and possibly 110. No matter how hard the reality hits, it’s true that the anime has caught up with the manga, and there are not enough fresh chapters left for the anime to come up with Season 6 anytime soon. The manga of Bungo Stray Dogs follows a monthly release schedule, so the anime studio will have to wait a really long time to get enough content to bring a new season. It’s evident that fans will miss seeing their favorite characters on-screen, and if you’re one of those fans, you can rely on Crunchyroll for re-watching the series from the beginning. Either that or you can follow the manga to get updated on the upcoming events.

    Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 11: Release date and time CrunchyrollBungo Stray Dogs Episode 11, the final episode of Season 5, is nearly here – so, here’s its exact release date and time. Like the romantic/supernatural-themed anime series My Happy Marriage, this week’s episode will mark the end of Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5. Even though the loyal fandom of the series is not ready to let go of it, they are also eager to see what the conclusion of their favorite series will look like. Bungo Stray Dogs has been a masterpiece from the very beginning, as it involved brilliant character development and a great narrative. Despite the good parts, the series never received the praise it deserved. To be precise, it remained an underdog in terms of viewership. Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 11: Release date and time Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 11 will be released on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, on Crunchyroll at 7:30am PDT. The following time schedule will help you track the thrilling last episode of the anime series in your region: 7:30am PDT – 8:30am Mountain Time – 9:30am CDT – 10:30am EDT – 3:30pm British Time – 4:30pm European Time – 8:00pm IST – What happened in Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 Episode 10? In the last episode, we saw Sigma and Dazai getting into a difficult situation where they found it challenging to come out alive. On one side, they were surrounded by magma, and on the other hand, the space around them also lacked breathable air and became poisonous. So, they could only escape by finding a safe passage through diving underwater – and to make things worse, Fyodor decided to shut the elevator to make their escape even more difficult. This gives Fyodor an opportunity to target Dazai, so he orders Chuuya to end Dazai’s life. At this point, Sigma decided to side with Dazai and confronted Fyodor. Now, this is where things went too dark for the fans. On one side, we see Fyodor allowing Sigma to explore his mind and overwhelm it with too much information (think of it as Gojo’s Infinity in Jujutsu Kaisen). On the other hand, we see Dazai getting shot by one of his enemies. While all this was happening, the UN ordered to basically end the world by activating One Order. So, you could say that the upcoming episode will not bring good news for several characters.

Despite receiving the One order, Fukuchi wasn’t able to open it. It seemed as if some unseen power was stopping him. On the other side, Nikolai and Sigma helped Dazai and Fyodor to flee from the prison through an underground tunnel. However, Nikolai asked both of them to participate in a game that will start by injecting the duo with poison and the one who would find a way out in 30 minutes would be provided with the antidote of the poison, and the one who’ll lose with have to let go his life.

  • Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6: Everything we know – Dexerto

    Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6: Everything we know Studio BonesFans remain hopeful that Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 will happen, since we got a brief tease at the end of the fifth season. Here are all the details we have so far. Bungo Stray Dogs is lowkey one of the best anime of the last decade. Not quite reaching the level of Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen, the anime show has remained steady, leading to five seasons, with a sixth something many are clamoring for. A dark, strange universe, Bungo Stray Dogs follows a special agency of detectives with supernatural powers who tackle cases regular people simply can’t. This leads to some creepy situations, as well as some harrowing circumstances that make it difficult to look away. Dazai and several other characters encountered brutal circumstances at the end of Season 5, leaving us on tenterhooks for more. But are we getting Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6? Will there be a Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6? Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 hasn’t been confirmed by Studio Bones yet. Fans haven’t had to wait this long for confirmation before. Each season prior was confired shortly after the preceding finale. The problem now, though, is that the show has officially caught up to Bungo Stray Dogs manga, leaving no more source material. Unlike in American productions, anime won’t jump ahead of the manga, instead waiting for chapters to be published first. The good news is more chapters are being made, so it’s just a matter of time. Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 will kick off the next saga When it happens, Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 will be the start of a new saga. The show sill move into the Resurrection Arc, which kicked off in Chapter 114, as part of the followup to the Decay of the Angel Saga. It should be noted these titles are from the fandom, the creative team aren’t so particular. But the point is, Season 5 was the end of an era for Bungo Stray Dogs, and Season 6 will mark the beginning of another. What that looks like is hard to say – at time of writing, we’re less than six chapters in – but morre is coming it’s just a matter of time. Unfortunately, Bungo is printed on a monthly schedule, so it could be quite a lot of time. Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 has some big questions to answer Season 6 of Bungo Stray Dogs has to answer is who Fyodor really is and what actually happened to him first and foremost. Then, it needs to clarify about the war Fukuchi warns about before dying and the mysterious enemy Atsushi and Akutagawa are fighting in the post-credit scene. Then there’s the fallout of Dazai’s death and the infestation of vampires. It’s a mess, really. This is not a happy story, but that’s why people love it. There are some spin-offs to check out while we wait. Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! has enough material for multiple seasons while the Stormbringer light novel and Beast spin-off has the potential to become some of the best but probably underrated anime movies. The studio can also make anime original films like it did with Dead Apple. Bones still has enough to work with even if Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6 won’t be possible in the near future. Bungo Stray Dogs is streaming on both Crunchyroll and Netflix. If you need something new, you can check out the Spring 2024 anime lineup and some short anime that deserves more recognition.

  • Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 118 brings 2 major characters together for the first time – Dexerto

    Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 118 brings 2 major characters together for the first time BonesAtsushi and Fyodor interact with each other for the first time in Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 118. Despite being the protagonist and primary antagonist of Bungo Stray Dogs, they’ve never had a scene together before. A major reason behind that is how they individually work. Atsushi is a straightforward guy who rushes into a fight while Fyodor operates behind the scenes. As such, the Russian’s true enemy has always been Dazai, who shares his cunningness and taste for twisted plans. The two have been at odds for a long time, though neither has managed to get the better of the other (permanently, that is). However, Fyodor finally seems to have won this game against Dazai. After tricking Chuuya and him with his supposed death, the villain subsumes Bram’s body and revives himself, before he unleashes the murderous Ame-no-Gozen upon the Armed Detective Agency members. In Chapters 117 and 118, the mysterious being kills three members – Kunikida, Tanizaki, and Kenji – in gruesome ways, leaving Atsushi in despair. As the young man is grieving, he’s approached by Fyodor, who says he’s come to save Atsushi. This is where Chapter 118 ends, so we don’t know how Fyodor is planning to ‘save’ the protagonist. But knowing the villain, it’s clear that he has something sinister in mind that has nothing to do with saving anyone. Maybe he’s plotting to use Atsushi’s damaged mental state to serve his agenda. Like the protagonist, readers are also wary of the Russian’s sudden arrival. One tweeted, “Breaking Atsushi, taking everything away and meeting him at his lowest, welcoming him with his usual kindest smile. Oh Fyodor, the man you are.” “FYODOR SPARED HIM?! WE FINALLY HAVE THEIR INTERACTION?! PLEASE, WE HAVE TO FIND OUT SOMETHING NEW ABOUT ATSUSHI, IF NOT FROM FYODOR, THEN FROM NO ONE,” wrote another. A third pointed out, “I need to remind people that Fyodor is a pathological liar and everything coming out of his mouth can have a totally different meaning or none at all. So whatever he’s gonna tell Atsushi, needs to be enjoyed with caution.” Fyodor’s real intention will hopefully be revealed in the upcoming Chapter 119, which will be released sometime around October 4, 2024. For more, find out why Bungo Stray Dogs was criticized by fans and which major character dies gruesomely in Chapter 115.

  • Bungo Stray Dogs manga shocks everyone by killing 3 main characters – Dexerto

    Bungo Stray Dogs manga shocks everyone by killing 3 main characters BonesBungo Stray Dogs Chapters 117 and 118 have collectively killed several main characters, leaving readers in shock. One of the most underrated seinen manga out there, Bungo Stray Dogs is an exciting concoction of supernatural action and thrilling mind games. It’s also frequently criticized for not killing its characters or bringing them back from the dead. Despite the complaints, no one was prepared to see so many main characters die in the span of only two chapters. In Chapter 117, titled ‘Understood’, we see Bram finally perish, leaving behind Akutagawa to protect Aya. But that’s not all. Towards the end of the chapter, Kunikida and Tanizaki face the mysterious Ame-no-Gozan as Atsushi rushes to stop them, but he’s too late. In a shocking scene, Kunikida is killed gruesomely as Atsushi saves Tanizaki in time. However, the bad times are far from over. In Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 118, titled ‘Mystifying Being’, Tanizaki tries to avenge Kunikida, only to die in front of Atsushi. But things start to look up – at least for some time – as Kenji and Suehiro arrive at the scene. It doesn’t last long, though, as Kenji is sliced to death as Atsushi looks on in horror. In the span of two chapters, he’s lost three colleagues (whom he considers family) from the Armed Detective Agency. Needless to say, he’s in despair. But it’s not just Atsushi who’s grieving the deaths of Kunikida, Tanizaki, and Kenji. Fans are equally shocked that the Bungo Stray Dogs manga has killed three main characters. As one wrote on X, “None of us know what’s happening but we do know we’re all sobbing.” “I’M CONVINCED ASAGIRI AND GEGE SWITCHED BCUS WHY THE F**K IS JJK GETTING A HAPPY ENDING AND SUDDENLY EVERYONE’S DYING IN BSD??” commented another user, referring to Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator Gege Akutami. “He decided not to kill Chuuya and Dazai but at what cost..?” added a third. A fourth joined, “Nooo, my child! Asagiri, why are you doing this to them? Just look at their little faces. I want to die – I still haven’t gotten over Kunikida, and now you’re killing off the sunshine of BSD.” It looks like Bungo Stray Dogs has finally escaped its “no killing” allegations. Before the Armed Detective Agency members die in Chapters 117 and 118, Chapter 115 horrifyingly killed Teruko. Now fans are left to wonder which character will die next. While we get over the shock of the new BSD chapter, find out what happened in One Piece Chapter 1125 and Oshi no Ko Chapter 159.

    Bucchigiri?! Episode 6: Release date and time CrunchyrollBucchigiri?! has finally picked up the pace in the fifth episode, so it’s understandable why fans are excited for Episode 6. Here, we have revealed the release information of the much-awaited episode. Bucchigiri?! is an original anime from MAPPA, and that’s why no one has a single clue about the upcoming events. Neither we can assume things with the help of the source material nor we can expect the early spoilers from the sources on social media. So, there’s no option other than waiting for the next episodes. Previously, the anime showed us how Arajin takes Mahoro’s stand and punches Shindo for her sake. Besides that, we also learn what happened between Arajin and Matakara in childhood. Now, like the previous episode, fans expect the upcoming one to be full of surprises. Unfortunately, we do not have any verifiable spoilers for the episode at the moment, so let’s delve deep and find out about its release details. Bucchigiri?!

The duo was bullied by several boys in school but when Matakara was tackling them, Arajin decided not to get into the conflict and ran away, leaving his friend behind. However, returning to the present, we see Mahoro in danger and that’s when our hero Arajin decides not to step back. He fights for the sake of Mahoro as he likes her and wants to see her safe.

  • Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 115 kills major character in a gruesome way – Dexerto

    Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 115 kills major character in a gruesome way BonesThe newly released Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 115 reveals the gruesome death of a major character that has fans shocked. The latest chapter of Bungo Stray Dogs doesn’t take long to shock readers. Picking up right where the previous chapter left off, Chapter 115 shows the consequences of Fyodor subsuming inside Bram’s body with his ability, Crime and Punishment. The chapter also mercilessly kills Teruko Okura, the vice-captain of the Hunting Dogs. While Bungo Stray Dogs manga has previously had many death scares, this time it doesn’t hesitate to show her die a horrific death. It starts with when she decides to kill Fyodor for murdering Fukuchi, the man she respects above all. Teruko almost manages to do so, at least that’s what she thinks, until someone suddenly turns up before her. It’s Fukuchi, but he isn’t who he was anymore. Thanks to the holy sword Fyodor impaled him with, he’s turned into the Divine Being. As Teruko notices her beloved captain, she’s ecstatic until he impales her head with his sword. In the gritty scene, Teruko’s head liquifies and explodes, before the rest of her body follows. This painful moment is followed by another shocking scene as the Divine Being is seen consuming the liquid. That’s heartbreaking enough, but the brief flashback following this is even sadder. The flashback reveals that Teruko was a child soldier and despite having her age-altering ability, she was only 12. One day Fukuchi found her on a battlefield and if he hadn’t saved her, she would’ve died. This explains Teruko’s devotion to the Decay of the Angel leader. It also makes her death more gut-wrenching as her killer wears the face of the person she cherished the most, not to mention that she’s only a child of 12. Bungo Stray Dogs fans are also shocked by the turns of events in Chapter 115. Initially criticizing the manga for its bad habit of not killing characters, they are surprised by two back-to-back deaths of major characters in recent chapters. “I love her so much! I still can’t believe he did this! I am grieving!” writes one fan on X. “He killed Teruko, he killed her, wtf,” comments another. A third posts, “It’s not just the fact that Teruko died with a smile (similar to Jouno) but the way she also looked right into the face of a man she respected and cherished, the very same man that also saved her life.” The shocking Bungo Stray Dog Chapter 115 has fans anxious over what’s to come next. Chapter 116 will be released in July 2024, and should reveal what else Fyodor has planned for the world and Yokohama.

  • Boruto’s Timeskip Character Design teased on the upcoming VJump Magazine cover – Dexerto

    Boruto’s Timeskip Character Design teased on the upcoming VJump Magazine cover CrunchyrollBoruto gets his time skip design in the upcoming VJump magazine, and here we have discussed the same. The upcoming VJump issue features the Boruto sequel’s first look on its cover page, and fans are going bonkers after seeing their beloved boy’s entirely different version. Before the manga went on hiatus, we got to see how Sasuke agreed to save Boruto even when he was convinced that the boy (thanks to Momoshiki) was the enemy he wanted to see as a corpse. Nevertheless, Sasuke decides to help Boruto because of Sarada’s unrelenting efforts. Besides that, Eida, who was responsible for Boruto’s helplessness, also apologized to him in the end and said that she just wanted to help Kawaki – she didn’t know things would get so bad. VJump Magazine October issue introduces us to a matured Boruto Initially, the Boruto manga faced several backlashes, as fans used to criticize it for being children-centered. That’s because of its immature narrative and rushed pace. However, fans’ opinions on Boruto will likely change after seeing the new character design for the protagonist in VJump’s next issue cover. The time skip thing was already hinted at by the anime and manga before, but we were not sure of what to expect in reality. Now, we are pretty much familiar with how the fan-favorite Boruto will look in the sequel, which will resume from Chapter 81. As the main protagonist’s character art has made an appearance ahead of the project’s release, we may expect to see other characters show up soon as well. Boruto in Boruto: Naruto’s next generation was a kid, so he used to wear funky outfits, but in the time skip arc, he will be seen in a mature avatar, and we got to see that in his new character design. Obviously, Boruto will be four years older now, so he is supposed to act and dress accordingly. Now, acknowledging his new avatar, it’s worth praising that the color theme of the character is not getting toyed with (which is actually a good thing). The first thing that can be said to be the scene-stealer is that young Boruto’s t-shirt gets replaced by a white shirt. Besides that, he will still be seen wearing a black jacket but with a different design. The last thing to notice is the second chain he’s wearing, which is an Uzumaki spiral. Boruto is returning to confront Kawaki in a new form in terms of appearance and strength, and we can’t wait to see him reveal his true potential.

  • Boruto’s villains are “purely evil” for one reason – Dexerto

    Boruto’s villains are “purely evil” for one reason Studio PierrotBoruto creator Mikio Ikemoto revealed the reason behind the manga’s “purely evil” villains in a recent interview. On August 25, Ikemoto sat down with Masashi Kishimoto, the co-creator of Boruto and the creator of Naruto, for an interview with French publisher Kana, discussing the process of creating the ongoing manga and sharing little titbits about both series. When Kishimoto was questioned about Naruto’s well-written and sympathetic villains, he revealed: “It’s true that I want to tell human stories. From the start, I had opportunities to introduce characters as supervillains. “But since One Piece was already doing that, I wanted to do something different with Naruto. My villain characters also had a story. Manga is also an industry where you have to create what doesn’t exist yet, which pushes you to try different approaches.” Following Kishimoto’s answer, Ikemoto also shared why Boruto’s villains don’t get the same treatment. The mangaka said, “I try not to duplicate what was done in Naruto. That’s why there are more purely evil villains in Boruto. Real villains.” Both answers make a lot of sense for the respective stories. Naruto’s antagonists aren’t portrayed as mindlessly evil. Instead, they’re written as deeply flawed characters and the victims of their world and circumstances. This gives us some of the most iconic villains – like Nagato, Obito, and Madara – in the manga and anime world. Boruto, on the other hand, has a different approach to the bad guys. But as Ikemoto mentioned, this acts as an advantage for the manga to get out of its popular predecessor’s shadow. Speaking more about this, Ikemoto added: “In Naruto, the antagonists had clear goals and reasons for opposing the heroes, and Mr. Kishimoto fully realized that concept. As for battles, I couldn’t add more to it. “I wanted to create villains who are different from those in the Naruto era. I prefer irrationality in villains and wanted to show their differences compared to the enemies in Naruto.” Kishimoto joined his co-creator: “In Naruto, I focused more on the lighter side, while Ikemoto is facing much more complex challenges. Please support him as he navigates this difficult situation…” Ikemoto’s take on villains is definitely working as Boruto Two Blue Vortex is one of the most popular new-gen shonen manga at the moment. Thanks to his interview, fans will look forward to more evilness from its current antagonists, the Shinju.

  • Bruno Mars reveals he’s a Jujutsu Kaisen fan – Dexerto

    Bruno Mars reveals he’s a Jujutsu Kaisen fan MAPPA and Bruno Mars’ Instagram handleBruno Mars recently posted a picture on Instagram – and anime fans were excited to see it, since it confirms the singer’s love for the incredible Jujutsu Kaisen series. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 was released in 2020, and since then, the animanga series has come a long way. The manga’s sales have skyrocketed and the anime series has grown tremendously in terms of popularity. Fans cannot stop talking about it with their friends and family – thanks to Gege Akutami who blessed the community with such a masterpiece. However, things got even better for the series when the second season arrived with the breathtaking animation quality. Besides that, the anime also featured several significant events from the manga, such as Gojo getting sealed and Nanami’s death. At the same time, the manga series is also keeping the fandom on its toes by delivering spectacular chapters every week. So, it’s no wonder that the dark fantasy series is also getting love from some of our beloved celebrities. Bruno Mars surprises JJK fans with his latest Instagram post Bruno Mars, a popular singer and songwriter, posted a picture on Instagram where’s he’s wearing a Pikachu cap. He is also holding a soft toy in his right hand – however, the part that caught everyone’s attention is the Jujutsu Kaisen manga’s 25th volume in his left hand. Judging from the caption, Bruno Mars might be on vacation or for an event in Tokyo. The photograph received more than one million likes and approximately 19,000 comments from global fans. Jujutsu Kaisen fans who follow Bruno Mars seem excited to know that their favorite singer is a JJK fan. A fan has also mentioned ‘You Are My Special,’ Season 2’s opening song in the comments section. This also comes during a time of controversy for JJK, with criticism directed at its studio MAPPA.

  • “Brutal” anime that makes viewers feel ill is streaming on Crunchyroll – Dexerto

    “Brutal” anime that makes viewers feel ill is streaming on Crunchyroll CrunchyrollIf you’ve been looking for something really grim and gory, anime fans have the perfect choice, and it’s available to stream. Not all of the best anime are cheery or heroic. The medium has quite a few properties that are full to the brim of blood and guts, well beyond what you’ll find in the likes of Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer. Hardened viewers started listing the most “brutal” anime on Reddit, with one clear winner at the top – Gantz. The anime show has a reputation for not being for the faint of heart, as evidenced by the fact commenters are stating it made them a little unwell. “Gantz was one of a few anime that actually made me nauseous. I don’t remember much of it, but there are some scenes that are still burned into my brain,” says one comment. Starting off with a pair of teenagers who are killed in a subway crash, Gantz becomes a bizarre sci-fi horror series wherein the protagonists are forced to join a war against extraterrestrials. It’s strange, alluring, action-packed, and hugely violent. Gantz swiftly earned a reputation upon release in 2004 across the internet for being so out there, with all sorts of grotesque scenes and imagery. It’s one of the bigger productions from studio Gonzo, who also made Afro Samurai and Rosario + Vampire among a slew of other, lesser-known series. As much as people recommended the small-screen version, the manga from Hiroya Oku is considered just as worthwhile. “One of the few times I will say to just read it. Whatever is in the anime is dialed up to 11 in the manga as the stakes keep raising. And the art is clean and brutal,” one Redditor says. Gantz can be found on Crunchyroll, if you’ve had enough of One Piece or My Hero Academia and want something a little tougher.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Is Himawari Kurama’s new jinchuriki? – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Is Himawari Kurama’s new jinchuriki? ShueishaIn one of the most shocking moments in Boruto Two Blue Vortex, Kurama reincarnates inside Himawari. But is Himawari Kurama’s new jinchuriki? Boruto Two Blue Vortex brings back Kurama in Chapter 9. In the manga’s first part, the nine-tailed fox sacrificed himself for Naruto’s Baryon Mode. After that, we all thought Kurama was gone for good. However, it’s already been established that tailed beasts cannot die permanently. So, although Kurama’s return has come as a shock, the possibility was always present. What’s surprising is that Himawari is the one who houses him now. After the reveal, Himawari has already shown some incredible power. But if she wields this power as Kurama’s new jinchuriki or if it’s something else needs to be discussed. Is Himawari Kurama’s new jinchuriki in Boruto Two Blue Vortex? Himawari is not Kurama’s new jinchuriki. According to the nine-tailed fox, they are a single body and soul instead. In Chapter 10, Kurama explains to Himawari that the kernel of his life appeared inside her after his life force was extinguished. This is an unprecedented incident in the franchise, and the nine-tailed fox confesses that he doesn’t understand it fully himself. But one thing’s clear: Himawari isn’t his vessel. Unlike with Naruto, Kushina, and any other jinchuriki, Kurama wasn’t sealed within the girl. Instead, he was born naturally and thus is a single being. This is why Kurama appears as his younger self after his revival. This makes Himawari one of the most enigmatic and powerful characters in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. She’s the only person – outside of the Shinju – who is a tailed beast personified. That means her already immense potential has reached new heights. What are Himawari’s powers? As the human form of Kurama, Himawari is currently one of the strongest characters in the series. At least, on paper. Since she’s young and hasn’t had any training with him, she can’t unleash her full potential just yet. But still, she shows extraordinary abilities after she transforms into her first tailed beast mode. When she transforms, she grows sharp fangs and nails and gets markings similar to Naruto’s on her face. Her hair changes too, flowing in the air like the nine tails of Kurama. The fact that Himawari can transform into a different form is the strongest proof of her not being a jinchuriki. If she was one, she would’ve needed extensive training like the other jinchuriki. However, the transformation comes instinctively to her since she and Kurama are the same. Her tailed beast form grants her incredible healing abilities, much greater than that of Naruto’s. With those, she can not only heal herself instantly but can also heal the lethal injuries of others. This is seen when she cures Inojin after he’s almost killed by Jura. Himawari’s regeneration ability is to such an extent that even Jura is surprised. When the Shinju relentlessly attacks her, she keeps healing herself constantly. And though it saves her life, it also takes an enormous amount of chakra from her. So, her healing is more of a double-edged sword, at least at this point. The youngest Uzumaki also gets tremendous physical strength in the tailed beast form. But her strongest technique is the tailed beast bomb, a jutsu so powerful that it took Naruto completely losing himself to Kurama to use it before he mastered his power towards the end. Himawari’s tailed beast bomb can keep up with that of Jura, who is the incarnation of the Ten-Tails. But since she’s still so new to her power, she can’t go on for long. However, given time, she’ll become a force to be reckoned with.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex promo teases the fight fans have been waiting for – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex promo teases the fight fans have been waiting for Studio PierrotBoruto Two Blue Vortex appears on the cover of the latest V-Jump issue and teases the fight fans have been looking forward to. Boruto Two Blue Vortex graces the cover of the June 2024 issue as a promo for the upcoming Chapter 11. It shows Boruto fighting Jura as the other three Shinju — Hidari, Matsuri, and Bug — surround him. It has fans hoping to see the much-anticipated fight between the titular protagonist and the new villains. The manga is currently at an exciting point in the story. The Shinju have invaded Konoha looking for Naruto. However, what they’ve found is Himawari instead. Now that Kurama has revived inside her, she is the new jinchuriki and their new target. In Chapter 10, Jura seemingly kills Inojin. This enrages Himawari so much that she finally unleashes her first Bijuu mode, promising an exciting battle ahead. But what fans have been waiting for the most is to see the Shinju clash against Boruto. The three-year gap between Boruto Two Blue Vortex and the prequel has served the protagonist well. He’s become a lot stronger. In fact, he’s the strongest member of his generation. The brief Boruto vs. Kawaki fight in Chapter 9 serves as a reminder of that. So, it makes sense that he’ll be the toughest opponent for the Shinju. Besides, Himawari is still new to her power and may not be able to hold her Bijuu form for long. So, despite her fight against Jura being an intriguing prospect, her chance of victory isn’t great. As such, fans have piled all their hopes on her big brother instead. Not only is Boruto currently the Shinju’s strongest opponent but he’s also trying to protect his sister. In other words, he’s not going to hold back. And it certainly looks like that in the new promo on V-Jump’s cover. Fans are beyond excited by this prospect. One X/Twitter user commented, “This might be the best V-Jump Boruto cover yet after the one in which Boruto’s design was revealed!!!! Are we getting Boruto solo vs all the Shinjus??” Another agreed, “That’s a fire cover, I already know my GOAT is about to take minimal damage fighting Jura ngl,” while a third added, “The legend has returned and he looks like a beast.” The much-awaited Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 will be released on June 20, 2024.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex just reunited two key characters, and fans are delighted – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex just reunited two key characters, and fans are delighted Studio PierrotFans have been waiting for some time to have Boruto reunite with Himawari, and it finally happened in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11. Boruto Two Blue Vortex started on a heartbreaking note, with everyone forgotting about the titular protagonist, even his beloved sister. And, even after he returned to Konoha three years later, she didn’t remember him, thinking of him as her parents’ killer instead. On top of that, both siblings had their hands filled with the Shinju infiltrating Konoha. While Boruto’s goal was to protect the village, things were a little more complicated for Himawari. She was the target of Jura, who wanted to consume her to get to her Bijuu powers. Since Jura announced his plans for Himawari, fans have been waiting for Boruto to come and save her. It’s no secret he’s very protective of his sister, and if anyone can best the Shinju at this moment, it’d be him. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 finally saw this wish come true. In the chapter, Himawari unleashed her Bijuu form and used her strongest technique. But she still couldn’t keep up with Jura, leading to her almost getting killed. But, Boruto appeared in a flash to snatch her out of Jura’s grab. This is the first time the Uzumaki siblings have reunited after three years, and fans collectively agree it’s a glorious moment. Still, the pair don’t get much time to catch up as Boruto rushes to Sarada’s side with her to save the Uchiha from Hidari. Nevertheless, readers are delighted to have the Uzumaki siblings together again. One X user praised Boruto saving his sister and tweeted, “Boruto saves Himawari. That’s why he’s the GOAT.” Another pointed out the panel where Boruto’s carrying Himawari, “Why is he carrying her like that, cute,” while a third posted, “And the best big brother award goes to… Boruto!” Given that Chapter 11 ended without them getting to talk, we’ll see a proper (and emotional) reunion scene in Chapter 12. But we’ll have to wait for it as the next chapter will be released a month later, on July 20. Until then, find out how Kurama comes back, what happened to Naruto, and whether Inojin dies in the manga. You might also like our takes on Boruto vs. Kawaki.

  • The Shinju ranked: Who’s the most powerful Boruto Two Blue Vortex villain? – Dexerto

    The Shinju ranked: Who’s the most powerful Boruto Two Blue Vortex villain? ShueishaThe God Tree Incarnates, aka the Shinju, act as the primary antagonists of Boruto Two Blue Vortex – we’ve ranked all five of them from weakest to strongest. Boruto Two Blue Vortex begins three years after the events of Part 1. After Isshiki Otsutsuki’s death, the control of the Ten-Tails (God Tree) was passed down to Code. To better utilize the tree’s powers, he created four Shinju from four different shinobi. The Shinju were created after Code’s Claw Grimes consumed different individuals. But, despite their sources, they all have different personalities and motivations. They also turned out to be stronger than their creator. At present, there are four Shinju in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. However, Chapter 13 teases the arrival of a fifth member, though their source is unknown at the moment. But since they’ll play a significant role in the story forward, we’ve included the unborn Shinju in our ranking. 5. Unborn Shinju In Chapter 13, Jura and Mamushi retreat to their hideout to revive Hidari from the Soul Thorn. But there’s another object there; a new seed that Matsuri is cultivating. By the end of the chapter, the object is about to hatch, birthing the fifth Shinju. As of yet, we don’t know which character was consumed to create the new incarnate. Many believe it’ll be a familiar character like Guy or Kakashi. But the most plausible case is that it’s created by Shinki, who appears in Kashin Koji’s foresight as a Shinju. 4. Mamushi Created from Bug, an Outer from Kara, Mamushi is likely the current weakest Shinju. It’s difficult to say for sure as neither he nor Matsuri have had many opportunities to fight yet. Still, given he’s created from a non-shinobi, it’s safe to assume he’s weaker than his peers. That being said, Mamushi is still incredibly strong. In Chapter 4, he has a brief clash against Boruto where he demonstrates exceptional strength and speed. He can also turn his arm into a huge carnivorous plant. What’s more, he appears to be a strong sensor as he’s able to sense Eida spying on him with her Senringan in Chapter 5. 3. Matsuri The only female member of the group, Matsuri is created from Konoha’s Meogi, Konohamaru’s friend and Team 10’s instructor. She appears to be just as strong as Mamushi, but unlike him, she has the edge of being created from a ninja, and thus, having access to her ninjutsu. Aside from this, Matsuri has another ability which is hinted at in Chapter 13: she can harvest Soul Thorns to create new Shinju. This could mean they no longer need Code to increase their numbers. It also makes her invaluable to the team. 2. Hidari In a shocking twist, Chapter 4 reveals Sasuke was consumed by Code’s Claw Grime and turned into a tree. From his chakra, Hidari was born. He’s currently the second strongest Shinju, which is to be expected as he’s created from one of the most powerful shinobi of all time. Hidari has access to most of Sasuke’s techniques that don’t require a Sharingan. He can use Chidori and Lightning Release fluently. Hidari can also use Uchiha Clan’s Fire Release and Wood Release as well. Hidari is strong enough to instantly defeat Konohamaru. Though Sarada gives him a tough fight, she ultimately loses to him. Boruto successfully defeats the Shinju with his Uzuhiko technique. 1. Jura Jura is the apparent leader of the Shinju. He’s also the indisputable strongest of the bunch. Out of the four (soon to be five), he’s also the most mysterious as we don’t know his source. All we know is, he must’ve been created by a very powerful individual as he’s even stronger than Hidari. So far, he’s shown his prowess out of his group the most. He can sense specific chakra inside a person; most notably he’s able to tell Himawari contains Kurama inside her even before she finds out. He’s also exceptionally fast and strong and is proficient in Wood Release. Jura can create miniature-tailed beast bombs with his eye, a feature none of his fellow Shinju has demonstrated. He’s strong enough to have defeated Himawari in her Bijuu mode and to have Boruto rescue her silently without trying to fight him. Kashin Koji’s vision in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 shows the Shinju prominently. This means they’re likely going to be major antagonists throughout the entire story. The vision also shows Jura as the leader, so he’s going to stay as the strongest God Tree Incarnate.

  • Boruto vs. Kawaki: Who is stronger in Boruto Two Blue Vortex? – Dexerto

    Boruto vs. Kawaki: Who is stronger in Boruto Two Blue Vortex? CrunchyrollBoruto vs. Kawaki is the most anticipated event of Boruto Two Blue Vortex. Find out who is stronger between the two of them. The Boruto manga established early on that Boruto and Kawaki are each other’s biggest opponent and rival. Despite considering each other brothers, things are tense between the two. With their differing personalities and philosophies, they are fated to clash once and for all in the story. Though Boruto and Kawaki are expected to have their ultimate showdown at a crucial point somewhere later in the series, the two have a brief encounter in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9. The clash makes it clear where each stands in terms of strength and abilities. The chapter featuring Boruto vs. Kawaki finally answers the question of who is stronger, and we break down exactly how. Warning: The following section contains spoilers from the manga. Boruto vs. Kawaki: Who is stronger? Currently, Boruto is stronger than Kawaki. As evidenced by Boruto Part 2 Chapter 9, Boruto can overpower Kawaki without using any jutsu or his karma. On the other hand, Kawaki has trouble matching Boruto despite using his Otsutsuki jutsus and his karma from the start. It’s clear from the chapter that Boruto has gotten a lot stronger during the timeskip. He is calmer and more focused than before. Though he is yet to show the full extent of his abilities, his confidence and approach strongly hint that he has more in his arsenal than he reveals. Kawaki has also gotten stronger during the timeskip. But unlike Boruto, his progress is far slower. During the three years he spends in Konoha after Boruto’s departure, he masters the jutsu he inherited from Isshiki Otsutsuki and gets a better control over his karma. But the brief Boruto vs. Kawaki match points out the differences between their abilities. Despite the powerful Otsutsuki jutsus, Kawaki is inferior to Boruto in terms of taijutsu. His reaction time is also slower than Boruto. When the two encounter each other for the first time in three years, Kawaki is quick to attack Boruto with his chakra rods. However, Boruto easily dodges them and counters Kawaki’s Big Hand with a strong punch at the other’s stomach. This leads to Kawaki attempting to unleash his karma. Though Kawaki goes all-out against Boruto in Chapter 9, Boruto very evidently isn’t all too involved in the fight and holds back. In fact, he tries to prevent his karma from awakening with all his might. Even then, Boruto overpowers Kawaki in their tense battle. This means if Boruto does go all-out, Kawaki has no chance of winning, at least for now. Boruto Two Blue Vortex is taking the world by storm and is considered a must-read by many.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex: How does Kurama come back? – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex: How does Kurama come back? CrunchyrollBoruto Part 2 Chapter 9 shockingly reveals Kurama’s return at the end of the chapter. Now the question is, how does Kurama come back in Boruto? Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9 is an explosive chapter in many ways. Not only does the chapter give a glimpse into the highly anticipated Boruto vs. Kawaki clash but it also brings back a fan-favorite character like Kurama back. This chapter also establishes a connection between Kurama and Himawari. The last time readers saw Kurama, the tailed beast sacrificed himself after Naruto activated his Baryon Mode. He helped Naruto achieve his strongest form yet by exchanging his own life force. This led to the heartbreaking death of the nine-tailed fox. Kurama’s death was so conclusive to its character arc that his return in Chapter 9 raises a lot of questions. How does Kurama come back after dying and what does it establish about the nature of the tailed beasts? How does Kurama come back in Boruto Two Blue Vortex? Kurama is reincarnated inside Himawari in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. However, she’s not his jinchuriki. Instead, they’re the same being, sharing a single body and soul. In Chapter 10, he explains it happens for tailed beasts since they can’t really die. However, no one can predict when or inside whom will it appear. He also admits he doesn’t know for certain why he’s reincarnated inside her. The reason he’s revived inside Himawari may be due to her being born with both Uzumaki and Hyuga blood. Or maybe she was born with a part of Kurama’s chakra as Naruto’s daughter. The fox confesses he doesn’t know for certain. But he thinks it may just be Himawari’s destiny. Though Kurama’s return is a truly shocking twist, his comeback adds a significant detail to the nature of tailed beasts. He’s a tailed beast, made entirely of chakra. In Naruto, when the history of the tailed beast is revealed, it’s also made clear that tailed beasts cannot die. They reincarnate after being destroyed. Kurama’s revival inside Himawari makes the youngest Uzumaki one of the most promising characters in the series. She’s already shown some jaw-dropping skills after transforming into her first Bijuu mode. And she’ll only get stronger with time.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex interview appears to confirm the most popular ship – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex interview appears to confirm the most popular ship Studio PierrotIn a recent interview, Boruto Two Blue Vortex creators revealed a key detail about Sarada’s outfit, and fans are convinced that it confirms her romance with the protagonist. While Boruto Two Blue Vortex is centered around the brotherhood between Kawaki and the titular protagonist, Sarada is a big part of the story. She’s one of the few people who haven’t been affected by Eida’s Omnipotence. She’s remembered Boruto all this time and has been sure of his innocence. But it appears there’s been more to her feelings than we’ve previously thought. Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto shared the truth behind Sarada’s oversized jacket in a recent interview. She wears the boy’s jacket deliberately as a remembrance of Boruto. What’s more, she even buys the same brand as him. This detail makes it obvious how much he means to her and how she’s missed him during the time skip. Fans are convinced that it means the Boruto-Sarada ship is all set to sail, if not now, then sometime in the future. “Yes, it’s too big for her, but she still wears it because of Boruto. This is true love ngl,” wrote a user on X. “You can’t tell me this isn’t adorable, the fact that Sarada wears the same brand of clothes as Boruto to remember him. No wonder her jacket is so big on her,” tweeted another user. “Sarada standing up for Boruto and rebelling against Konoha by wearing his brand of clothing is so goated. She’s truly Boruto’s ride or die,” shared a third. “I’m just waiting for Borusara to announce that they’ll be a couple!!!” one more fan commented. The manga’s creators also shared the truth behind Boruto’s serious personality in Part 2, as readers have noticed that the hero acts more serious and edgy than in Part 1. It turns out to be deliberate on his part, as Boruto acts more like Sasuke to remember him. For more on the interview, find out the Naruto creator’s regret about the story’s most hated character.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex is dividing everyone with Himawari’s new technique – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex is dividing everyone with Himawari’s new technique ShueishaA Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 sneak peek revealed Himawari using her new technique, but not all fans are convinced by this development. The upcoming Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter continues Himawari’s fight against Jura from Chapter 10. After seeing Inojin seemingly die, she transformed into her first Bijuu form, finally unleashing her powers after Kurama’s comeback. Chapter 11 shows her attacking the Shinju with a tailed beast bomb. It’s no secret that the tailed beast bomb is one of the strongest jutsus out there, and only tailed beasts and their jinchuriki can use it. However, it takes a human a lot of training to master this technique. This one fact has the fandom divided. Given that Himawari didn’t know she had Bijuu powers in the first place until Kurama appeared before her in Chapter 9, she wouldn’t know how to do such a complex jutsu. Besides, it took Naruto going on a rampage before he could manage such a feat. So, Himawari using her strongest technique perfectly without any proper training doesn’t sit right with some fans. One such fan commented on X/Twitter, “Oh wow, a kid with no experience over Kurama can now do stuff that Naruto needed to learn, such good writing,” while another added, “This is not the issue lol. How did Kurama get this strong?” A third joined, comparing this to another similar incident in Dragon Ball Super, “Haha no, this is the WORST writing I’ve ever read. This is like giving Goten mastered ultra instinct and he just surpasses Goku just because.” However, some are pointing out that there’s a perfectly reasonable logic behind Himawari being able to use tailed beast bomb without training. For once, unlike with Naruto, Kurama is actually cooperating with the youngest Uzumaki and providing her his chakra intentionally. The bond Naruto formed with Kurama eases the path for his daughter. What’s more, the nine-tailed fox earlier said that he and Himawari share the same body and soul. Meaning, she’s not just a jinchuriki like her father, rather she’s the nine-tailed beast herself. As one user tweeted, “Kurama is literally working with her instead of gatekeeping his chakra and trying to take over and destroy humanity. Comparing Hima and Naruto as if they’re not from polar opposite situations.” Another user had a snarky comment to go with it, “Boruto manga might need a narrator cause these haters are too dumb to realize Kurama is helping her through the hair.” A third commented on Reddit, “Do people actually want a rehash of Naruto and Kurama’s dynamic, down to their original lack of cooperation? I much prefer it the way it is, it makes sense narratively and it skips an unnecessary process which we’ve already seen.” The sneak peek just revealed the tip of the iceberg. What actually happens and how the manga goes about it will only be seen when the chapter releases on June 20. Until then, check out our guides on Boruto episodes, Naruto episodes, and Naruto filler to know more about the ninja world.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Does Inojin die in the manga? – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Does Inojin die in the manga? Studio PierrotBoruto Two Blue Vortex might only have 11 chapters but a major character, Inojin Yamanaka, has already had a close death encounter. There’s some ambiguity about the deathblow, though, making readers wonder if they really died in the manga. Boruto Two Blue Vortex is the sequel to 2016’s Boruto: Naruto the Next Generations and follows the lives of the titular protagonist Boruto after he’s written out of people’s memories. It’s a direct continuation of, and picks up three years after, the events of the first part. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10, many shocking incidents happen. As Kurama comes back from the dead, going back on the series’ best moment, and explains his connection to Himawari, Sarada gets her moment to shine as she gets into a Chidori face-off against Hidari. On the other hand, the new Team 10 tries to protect Himawari from Jura, leading to the heartbreaking possibility of Inojin dying. But does Inojin really die in the manga or is there any possibility of him surviving? Let’s find out. Does Inojin die in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10? Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 reveals Inojin is alive. In Chapter 10, Jura is hellbent on eating Himawari to get the Bijuu chakra he senses inside her. As Inojin tries to protect Himawari from the God Tree incarnate, he is pierced through by a branch of the tree Jura summons. It’s a grotesque scene where the artistic ninja is caught in the sharp branch and is bleeding. By the nature of the attack he receives, it’s clear that his vital organs have been wounded, leaving a very slim chance of him actually surviving this. The chapter doesn’t show whether Inojin really dies as it ends before he loses consciousness. But we get the answer in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 where he’s revealed to be still alive. Does Inojin survive in Boruto Two Blue Vortex? Inojin survives Jura’s lethal blow in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11. After Himawari enters her first Bijuu mode, she unlocks many of Kurama’s powers. This includes incredible regeneration power that can not only heal her but others, too. With that, she heals Inojin’s wounds enough to keep him from death’s door. However, the youngest Uzumaki also reveals while the wound appears completely healed from the outside, it’s not fixed properly. Inojin still needs medical care to survive his injury. So, she asks Shikadai and Chocho to take him to the hospital while she fights Jura. Thanks to Himawari’s ability, Inojin will survive to see another day. But he still hasn’t gotten his consciousness back yet. So, there’ll be a long time before he can fight again. For now, his survival is enough for us.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex finally explains Kawaki’s craziest techniques – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex finally explains Kawaki’s craziest techniques PierrotAs an Otsutsuki vessel, Kawaki has some powerful and mysterious jutsus in his arsenal, and his craziest techniques are finally explained in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. Boruto Two Blue Vortex starts three years after the events of its prequel. So, all the characters have grown stronger than before, yet two characters who get the most attention are Boruto and Kawaki. As the protagonist and deuteragonist respectively, they’ve changed the most. While Kawaki has already demonstrated his skills in the manga, their maneuvers have remained a mystery for the longest time. But the official Boruto database finally explains how Kawaki’s strongest techniques, Sukunahinoka and Daikokuten, work. These two techniques are known as Shinjutsu i.e., Otsutsuki clan’s jutsus. Being the vessel of Isshiki Otsutsuki, Kawaki is currently the only one in the manga who can use these techniques. These are also more powerful than most ninjutsu. According to the database, Sukunahinoka is a doujutsu that enables Kawaki to shrink himself or anything in his field of vision. The effect is instantaneous, and can revert the target back to its original size at the same speed. So, it’s quite an effective technique to wield in battles. But despite its usefulness, it has some limitations. Kawaki cannot use this jutsu on anything that isn’t in his immediate vision. On top of that, Sukunahinoka cannot be used on any living being other than the user. Daikokuten, on the other hand, is a jutsu that fans already have an idea about. This jutsu also plays a crucial role in the plot of Boruto Two Blue Vortex. The technique allows Kawaki access to a pocket dimension where time doesn’t flow. He can store anything he wants in that dimension and retrieve it at will. Kawaki uses this technique to keep Naruto and Hinata unconscious and hidden from the world. He does this to protect them and keep them from interfering with his goal of killing Boruto. People are unaware of this because almost nobody knows about Daikokuten’s ability. These two powerful techniques prove Kawaki’s potential strength. After the timeskip, he’s shown to be clearly weaker than Boruto. But armed with Sukunahinoka and Daikokuten, he’ll undoubtedly be a fearsome threat in the future.

  • Two Blue Vortex is giving Boruto his coolest jutsu yet – Dexerto

    Two Blue Vortex is giving Boruto his coolest jutsu yet Studio PierrotBoruto has received an amazing power-up in Two Blue Vortex, as the official website of Naruto confirms he’s gotten his coolest jutsu yet in a new version of Rasengan in the sequel manga. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex, the titular protagonist returns to Konoha after three years of hiding. His arrival makes it obvious from the get-go that he isn’t the same boy who left. In these three years, he’s gotten more taciturn and not to mention, stronger. Boruto doesn’t take long to demonstrate just how powerful he’s gotten during the timeskip. In Chapter 2 of Two Blue Vortex, he has a rematch against Code and it’s during this match that Boruto uses his most dangerous jutsu: Rasengan Uzuhiko. Rasengan Uzuhiko adds a special twist to Naruto’s most beloved jutsu: Rasengan. However, unlike Rasengan, this new jutsu doesn’t just use the user’s chakra but also uses the planet’s rotation. Once cast, the target suffers from loss of balance until they die. The horrifying effects of this justu are shown when Boruto uses it against Code in Chapter 3. Before casting Rasengan Uzuhiko, he warns Code multiple times that he’ll lose his life unless he reveals the location of the real body of the Ten-tails, indicating that the effects of this jutsu are lethal. While Code’s condition after being hit with the Rasengan Uzuhiko is proof enough of its dangerousness, its new description in the official website of Naruto makes it even cooler. The newly added blurb says, “A new form of Rasengan that utilizes not only one’s own chakra, but also the planet’s rotation and orbit, plus the corresponding centrifugal and other forces.” With this jutsu, Boruto also causes the usual destruction from a normal Rasengan, which is dangerous enough, on top of ruining the target’s sense of balance forever. “Due to the unceasing nature of planetary movement, the effects of Uzuhiko do not fade, resulting in not just physical harm but untold psychological damage,” the description continues. When describing this jutsu to Code, Boruto says Uzuhiko uses the “planet’s chakra”. However, it’s not to be confused with “nature’s chakra” that senjutsu user’s like Naruto, Jiraiya, and Mitsuki use for their Sage Modes. Rasengan Uzuhiko sounds simple on paper but it is actually a lethal jutsu. The way Boruto warns Code, it’s obvious that once hit with it, the target dies soon and suffers from spinning vision until their life runs out. This also causes irreparable psychological damage till death. One of the central parts of Boruto’s character is that he represents both Naruto and Sasuke. In Part 1, he’s more like Naruto with his loud, abrasive, and idealistic personality, while in Part 2, he resembles Sasuke more as a sullen, over-serious, and taciturn person. He’s also inherited Naruto’s optimism and selflessness as well as Sasuke’s determination to get things done, even if he has to stay in the shadows for that. Rasengan Uzuhiko is an extension of the duality inside Boruto. It carries the name and basic nature of Naruto’s Rasengan, while also causing vision impairment and psychological damage like the Uchiha clan’s Tsukuyomi. With such a powerful jutsu in his arsenal, Boruto will surely use it in the future. The occasion may come sooner than later as Himawari is also facing an enemy after her life. This means Jura might just be the next target for Boruto’s Rasengan Uzuhiko.

Boruto: Naruto’s Next Generation saw our protagonist not being strong enough to protect himself. Later, with the help of Sarada, Boruto received training from Sasuke.

The chapter didn’t show much of him, but the early spoilers for the upcoming chapter hinted at what we will see further. Some leaked panels of Boruto Part 2 Chapter 2 teased Boruto’s swordsman skills, and fans have started comparing him with One Piece‘s Zoro, who is said to be one of the most potent swordsmen in the anime universe. As usual, social media gets flooded with several comments arguing about the same. Several anime enthusiasts believe Boruto is better than Zoro, and others think he cannot be like the green-haired swordsman. One of the comments also reads that Boruto has been trained by Sasuke, who himself doesn’t have any extraordinary swordsman skills. So, how can he craft a sword battler to compete with someone like Zoro? Well, nothing is known entirely regarding his new skills, so let’s wait and see if he has really become a potent swordsman or if fans are just being biased and comparing him with Zoro.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 2 teases a fight between Boruto and Code’s army The first chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex shows Konoha getting attacked by Code, and, as expected, Boruto arrives on the battlefield to shield the village. Well, the spoilers for Chapter 2 shows Boruto threatening Code and asking him to back out if he wishes to walk out alive of this situation.” For Code, these words are coming from a person who barely survived their last fight, so, of course, Code thinks that Boruto is bluffing. In the midst of all this, we also see a brief conversation between Boruto and Sarada. Sarada, as usual, shows concern for Boruto by asking him if he’s alright; however, Boruto doesn’t even look at Sarada and tells her that they’ll talk later. For Boruto, saving the people is the only thing that matters right now. While all this is happening, Kawaki is also doing his best to protect the village. So, we’re going to see both Kawaki and Boruto in action in this chapter. This also means that the next chapter will focus majorly on action, not dialogue. Boruto showcases his skills by slicing Code’s army like they are nothing, which will be enough to surprise Code. Boruto also asks Code to take him to Ten-Tails, implying that he knows about the “true horrors” of the Ten-Tails, something that even Code isn’t aware of. In the end, Boruto unleashes his new ability, a new type of Rasengan that’s being called “Uzuhiko.” Fans will probably love Code’s reaction when Boruto unleashes this attack. The spoilers indeed tease another fantastic chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and if you don’t wish to miss out on all the action, don’t forget to read Chapter 2 when it officially drops on Viz Media and Manga Plus next week.

  • Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 Spoilers teases the Rasengan: Uzuhiko technique – Dexerto

    Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 Spoilers teases the Rasengan: Uzuhiko technique Viz MediaBoruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 is close to its monthly release, and here, we have revealed to you what the early spoilers of the chapter hint at. In the previous chapter, we see how Boruto and his allies deal with Code and his monsters. Also, we see Boruto finally meeting Sarada after almost three years; however, instead of catching up with his friends, Boruto focuses on the fight in front of him. Boruto overwhelms Code with his new abilities, but he doesn’t use any lethal force against the enemy. Our beloved protagonist keeps asking Code about the location of Ten Tails and promises to spare him if Code reveals the information. However, Code doesn’t take anything that comes out of Boruto’s mouth seriously, so fans expect to see Boruto getting even more severe in Chapter 3. Well, let’s say that you won’t be disappointed with the events that will unfold in the upcoming chapter. Boruto Part 2 Chapter 3 spoilers tease the Ninja’s new abilities Boruto Part 2 Chapter 3 cover page features Himawari in all her glory, making fans awestruck. The chapter will be titled ‘Uzuhiko.’ The anticipated chapter starts with showing Boruto going to Code to flaunt his new fighting techniques, but the latter is already prepared to dodge every attack of the Ninja. Seeing Boruto’s movement, every fan believes that there is no better teacher than Sasuke on this entire planet. Well, Code’s followers pray for his well-being as Boruto can be seen overwhelming him in the panel. The Ninja continues asking Code to take him to the Ten Tails, or else he will not take a second to kill him. Code does not take Boruto’s words seriously. Code tries to hit Boruto, but he misses the shot several times. Initially, he thinks that it’s just that Boruto is able to dodge his attacks, but he cannot figure out the way he is able to do so. The next moment, Boruto sends Code flying using his new technique, which is called Rasengan: Uzuhiko. The new technique of the Ninja is basically similar to the rotation of the stars. In the next panel, we see Kawaki, who makes use of his dojutsu to foil Code’s plan to flee. However, Code escapes using the creature. Shikamaru wants to eradicate his army following his escape. Seeing Kawaki after three long years, Boruto asks him how he is doing. Before Code’s departure, Boruto had placed a Toad in his pocket so that he could learn about Ten Tails whereabouts. Even if Boruto gets to know about Ten Tails’ location, he is astonished at how Code has stolen all the chakras. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 reveals shocking truth about Naruto’s biggest fight – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 reveals shocking truth about Naruto’s biggest fight Studio PierrotBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 reveals what was supposed to happen to Naruto during his fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki. The Naruto vs. Isshiki battle is one of the highlights of the Boruto anime and manga. It not only shows Naruto at peak power with the Baryon Mode but also has the series’ most tragic moment. As repayment for the huge power-up, Kurama sacrifices himself to save his jinchuriki. However, that wasn’t meant to be – at least in most timelines. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13, Kashin Koji reveals his ability of foresight. As time is not singularly linear, he can see every potential future out there. In Boruto’s flashback, it’s revealed when he almost died after his fight against Jigen (and Isshiki), he gained this ability and saw many possibilities for the future. In many of them, Naruto died from exerting the Baryon Mode during his fight against Isshiki. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. Kurama sacrificed himself and was later revived inside Himawari. Some of the credit for that goes to Kawaki who distracted Isshiki and bought Kurama senough time to protect Naruto. Kashin Koji’s reveal is a grave reminder of what could’ve happened to the beloved character. Though Naruto is no longer the protagonist of the story, he’s still the franchise’s most popular character. His death is something nobody wants from the manga. Aside from Naruto’s bleak fate in other timelines, Kashin Koji also reveals what was supposed to happen to Boruto. The boy was killed by Kawaki in most timelines, followed by Kawaki being devoured by the Divine Tree, which led to the world’s end. However, like his father, Boruto survived. He also promised to save the world at all costs, but not by killing Kawaki. Impressed by his determination, Kashin Koji promised to teach Boruto everything he’d learned from his foresight, leading to the protagonist’s power-up. Boruto Two Blue Vortex is getting more serious now that we know what awaits the world. Until the manga’s next chapter is out, find out what is the only way to save Sasuke and what fans wish for when the anime returns.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 scene called out for “plot armor” – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 scene called out for “plot armor” ShueishaOne particular scene featuring Boruto and Jura in Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 is being called out by fans for using “plot armor”. Boruto Two Blue Vortex shows the Shinju invading Konoha to look for Naruto, the Seventh Hokage and the jinchuriki of Kurama. However, since he’s trapped inside a pocket dimension, they find other opponents instead. After Boruto saves Himawari from Jura and Sarada from Hidari, he defeats Sasuke’s look-alike with his strongest technique. But they can’t enjoy the victory for long as Jura shoots Boruto through the chest and promises to kill him in Chapter 12. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13, though, we see Mamushi interrupting the scene. The Shinju tells Jura that Matsuri’s back in their hideout. So, Jura decides to retreat to use the Soul Thorn to revive Hidari, and spares Boruto’s life. While this saves the protagonist, fans find this scene to be the blatant use of “plot armor”. Jura had plenty of time to fatally shoot Boruto in the time he was talking, but he chose to speak instead and ultimately left without killing his enemy. This makes very little sense, but it’s understandable. Shonen protagonists usually receive a lot of plot armor. It’s necessary to show the urgency of a situation while keeping the hero alive for the story’s sake. Still, fans think the lack of subtleness in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 was too much to ignore. “Jura leaving Boruto alive is just plot armor IMO,” posted one user on Reddit. Another commented: “The man’s barely alive and Jura’s not even out of breath. ‘We have to retreat’.” A third wrote, “Dude is casually floating around, shooting the shit with Bug’s Shinju who clearly was in no rush either. In that time he could have got off another shot or used another jutsu.” “Is there a lore reason he didn’t resume taking the shot? Is he stupid?” called out a fourth. While Jura letting Boruto live is controversial, it does move the story forward. But our hero is far from being safe as Konohamaru arrests him after the Shinju retreat in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13. What happens to him next is yet to be seen. For more on the sequel manga, find out the shocking truth behind Naruto’s biggest fight and if Inojin dies in the manga. You can also check out Himawari’s strongest technique.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 spoilers and release date: Boruto’s past – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 spoilers and release date: Boruto’s past ShueishaThings are not going to go well for the shinobi in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 as Jura has found a new target – here’s what happens in the chapter and when it’s released. Boruto Two Blue Vortex introduced its main villains pretty early. But that’s to be expected from a sequel manga. Whereas in the first part, the ninjas had the Otsutsukis as their main obstacle, they have the Shinju in the second part. The manga also goes through several important events in a very short span of time. In only 12 chapters, we’ve seen a lot happen, including a Boruto vs. Kawaki clash, Kurama’s return, and Inojin nearly dying. We’ll see more in the future, given the Shinju have infiltrated Konoha looking for Naruto. With their tremendous powers, there are going to be more exciting fights as we learn more about their mysterious origin. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 spoilers The new chapter picks up right where Chapter 12 left off. After Jura shot Boruto, he’s about to kill the teenager before he’s interrupted by Mamushi. Deeming to deal with the Soul Thorn more important, the Shinju leave the boy alive while theorizing that he must have a partner to aid him. Boruto’s flashback reveals how he met his partner, Koji Kashin. During the past years, after Sasuke was turned into a tree, Boruto was summoned by Koji. There, the artificial human revealed he has the ability of foresight. When he almost died after fighting Isshiki, he gained this ability. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13, Koji revealed he saw a lot of things, including Naruto’s Baryon Mode and Boruto’s clash against Kawaki. In most timelines, Boruto was supposed to be killed by Kawaki. Then Kawaki was consumed by the Divine Tree, leading to the destruction of the world. Boruto promised he’d save everyone but wouldn’t agree to kill Kawaki at any cost. His goal is to beat some sense into his wayward brother and reunite the Uzumaki family. Impressed by Boruto’s determination, Koji decided to teach the boy every new technique he’s learned from his foresight. Back in the present, Himawari wakes up and heals Sarada. But before she can heal Boruto, Kawaki has Konohamaru handcuff him, hinting that he’s now a prisoner of Konoha. Elsewhere, the other Shinju revive Hidari from the Soul Thorn. The chapter ends with them waiting for the birth of a new Shinju, teasing the arrival of a new villain.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 teases the rise of another Shinju – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 teases the rise of another Shinju ShueishaBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 paves the way for a new villain as the Shinju wait for a new member to join them. From the beginning of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, the Shinju has acted as the primary antagonists. After being introduced in Chapter 4, Jura, Hidari, Mamushi, and Matsuri invade Konoha looking for Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchuriki of Kurama. The four of them – particularly Jura and Hidari – have proven to be very powerful opponents. After briefly fighting Sarada, Hidari almost kills her before she’s saved by Boruto. Jura, on the other hand, is even stronger as shown when he almost kills Inojin and fights Himawari. As if the four aren’t dangerous enough, they are about to get a new teammate soon. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13, Jura and Mamushi retreat with the Soul Thorn to revive Hidari. But the chapter’s ending shows there’s another one in their hideout, ready to bloom soon. Matsuri says she’s waiting to see who comes out of the new Soul Thorn, meaning they don’t know whose DNA was cultivated for it. This gives the story the perfect opportunity to introduce a shocking comeback, as the new Shinju may wear a face we all know very well. Jura commands Matsuri to harvest the Soul Thorn while he thinks of a name for their new teammate. This means we’ll see the new villain in the upcoming Chapter 14. Aside from teasing the new antagonist, Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 also reveals Boruto’s flashback of how he met Kashin Koji for the first time. Through his memories, we learn Kashin Koji can see many versions of the future and what was supposed to happen during Naruto’s biggest fight.

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 finally delivers a flashback of the time-skip ShueishaBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 preview reveals what happened to the protagonist during the time skip and how he met Kashin Koji. The events of Boruto Two Blue Vortex start three years after the first part. We see the protagonist returning to Konoha after Kawaki alters everyone’s memories with Eida’s Omnipotence. Since then, Boruto’s whereabouts during the blank period have been a mystery. He’s come back a lot stronger and bleaker than before, indicating something horrible must’ve happened to him. On top of that, there was no sign of Sasuke with him. The mystery of Sasuke is eventually revealed when we learn that he’s been turned into a tree after Hidari was created from his DNA. However, that still leaves questions about how Boruto got so strong and how he knew so much about Shinju. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 is finally answering those questions, at least some of them. In the new chapter, we see a glimpse of Boruto with Kashin Koji. From the preview, it looks like he’s been summoned to one of Orochimaru’s old hideouts. Kashin Koji reveals he’s hidden the entrance of the cave with a genjutsu, ensuring their security. He also shares how the frogs he commands are all artificially made. The preview ends with Boruto asking him who he is and how he knows his name. From the sneak peek, we can expect their complete encounter in the chapter. Boruto’s familiarity with Kashin Koji is another mystery we’ve wondering about. Chapter 13 is now finally giving us the backstory of their connection. Aside from the flashback, we’ll also probably see the Konoha shinobi trying to fight Jura in the upcoming chapter. In Chapter 12, we learned about the Soul Thorn before Jura shot Boruto through the chest. Chapter 13 will show us the aftermath. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 will be released on August 20, 2024. Until then, find out how Kurama came back and if Inojin dies in the manga. You can also find out if Himawari is the new jinchuriki of Kurama.

The plot of Boruto Two Blue Vortex is becoming clearer with every new chapter. From the beginning, the protagonist’s whereabouts during the time skip have been a mystery. But we finally learn the truth in Chapter 13. Boruto met Kashin Koji during this period and learned of the world’s bleak fate. The Jiraiya lookalike also revealed his power of foresight. Thanks to it, he knew the truth behind Naruto’s fight against Isshiki and Boruto’s death at Kawaki’s hands in different timelines. The chapter also teased the arrival of a new villain as the Shinju prepare for the birth of a new member. With another antagonist in the picture, things are going to get serious in the manga.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14 spoiler speculation Assuming Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14 will be the direct continuation of the previous chapter, we’ll see the aftermath of the hero’s arrest. He’ll obviously have to divulge some information about the Shinju, but whether he’ll reveal anything about Kashin Koji’s Prescience is yet to be seen. The exciting prospect about Boruto’s arrest is how it’ll affect Eida’s Omnipotence. People have forgotten about his true identity, which has been helped by his absence from the village. But now that he’s back, they may sense that something’s wrong with their memories. If this does happen, it’ll put a damper on Kawaki’s plans. But even if not everyone doubts the truth, Himawari will most likely question her reality, especially with Kurama inside her. Maybe she’ll finally remember her brother, leading to a heartwarming reunion. Aside from the Boruto debacle, we’ll finally get to see who the fifth Shinju is. Many theories are going around about the new member, with people thinking it’ll be someone familiar like Guy or Kakashi. However, most plausibly, it’ll be Shinki who appears in Kashin Koji’s vision as a Shinju. We’ll have to wait for the chapter to see what really happens. Until then, find out the only way to save Sasuke and which scene was called out by fans for using “plot armor”. You can also learn Naruto creator’s regret about the story’s most hated character.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 reveals only way to save Sasuke – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 reveals only way to save Sasuke Studio PierrotSasuke Uchiha is incapacitated in Boruto Two Blue Vortex, but Chapter 12 has finally found a way to save him. When Boruto Two Blue Vortex begins, picking up three years after the events of the prequel, readers were left confused by Sasuke’s whereabouts. After much speculation, he’s finally revealed to have turned into a tree by the Shinju. During the time-skip, he was taken down by the Ten-Tails incarnates and his chakra was used to create a new Shinju: Hidari. The new one joins the others to invade Konoha looking for Naruto and finding Himawari instead. When we learn Sasuke’s fate in Chapter 4, it sounds pretty irreversible. However, that’s not the case, as we see in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12. In the chapter, the titular protagonist fights and defeats Hidari. The Shinju is then killed by Kawaki, leaving behind a strange object Kashin Koji identifies as the Soul Thorn. Boruto reveals it’s the only thing that can reverse Sasuke’s condition – but we don’t know how the process turns out. Given its origin, the Soul Thorn appears to be the antithesis of the Shinju’s creation. The chakra they take away while being created must be stored inside the object after their death. And thus, it can turn someone back from the tree to human again. The Soul Thorn’s existence also seems to be a little-known fact. Many don’t know about it, including the Konoha shinobi and Kawaki. Boruto must’ve learned about this during his journey after Sasuke’s encounter with the Shinju. At the end of Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12, Jura decides to kill the protagonist after seeing his knowledge of the Soul Thorn. He attacks both Boruto and Sarada to obtain the object, indicating it’s indeed dangerous to the Shinju and can affect their existence. However, how the ninjas will get the Soul Thorn back from Jura is a big question. But we can expect to find out in the upcoming chapter. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 will be released on July 20, 2024. For more, find out how Kurama comes back and if Inojin dies. You can also check out our take on Boruto vs. Kawaki.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 release date & spoilers: Himawari vs. Jura – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 release date & spoilers: Himawari vs. Jura ShueishaThe next installment is on the horizon, meaning it’s time for us to discuss the Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 release date and spoilers. Though Boruto Two Blue Vortex started just a few months ago, it’s already at an all-time high. With powerful enemies like Jura and Hidari invading Konoha, the major characters are up for some significant power-ups. The most noticeable development is observed in Himawari. After staying in the sidelines for the entirety of Boruto Part 1, Naruto’s daughter is finally having her moment to shine in Part 2. As Kurama comes back, reincarnating within her, she’s promised to have some cool jinchuriki moments in upcoming chapters. The cliffhanger in Chapter 10 understandably made fans impatient for the new chapter. But with the spoilers for the upcoming chapter out, we finally know what’s coming in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 release date Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 will be released on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 7am Pacific Time (PT). Here’s when Boruto Chapter 11 will be released in global time zones: 11:00am Eastern Time – 04:00pm British Time – 05:00pm European Time – 08:30pm Indian Time – 11:00pm Philippine Time – The new chapter will be available on Shueisha’s official platforms, Manga Plus and Viz Media, with multiple translations. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 spoiler speculation The title of Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 is ‘Serious’. It starts with Himawari facing Jura awakening her Bijuu powers. She has supernatural regenerative power, thanks to Kurama, and heals Inojin’s wound with it. After that, she convinces Shikadai and Chocho to leave with Inojin as she’ll face the Shinju alone. After they leave, Jura wonders why Himawari’s powers awakened after Inojin endangered himself for her, not being able to grasp human emotions. Himawari vs. Jura begins. They both attack each other with tailed beast bombs. The Shinju is surprised by her rapid growth as she uses her strongest technique against him. This also excites him as he claims to have ‘understood’ for the first time, motivating him to be ‘serious’. Back in Konoha, Sarada and the other ninjas have cornered Hidari. The Uchiha asks him how he can use Chidori. Hidari, in turn, asks her about her eyes and if the move he just used is named Chidori. He then reveals that he cannot use the technique properly with Sharingan. When Konohamaru asks him about his connection to Sasuke, the Shinju reveals that he doesn’t know, and he’s come to Konoha to learn about himself. Sumire warns the older ninja to protect Sarada, having realized that she is Hidari’s target. But before anyone can act, Hidari shocks Sarada with his claws and burns another ninja. Konohamaru tries to fight him, but the Shinju suddenly appears behind him. He uses Wind Release: Spiraling Barrier to protect himself from Hidari’s Chidori. The Shinju then attacks Sumire, knocking her out, and leaving Sarada in a tricky position. The same is happening with Himawari. She can’t keep up with Jura. Even though her regenerative powers are greater than a jinchuriki’s and closer to a tailed beast’s, it takes a tremendous amount of chakra from her, weakening her and leaving her vulnerable to Jura’s attacks. Kurama says that even with Himawari’s incredible potential, Jura is too strong for her. The next scene shows Kawaki and Delta heading towards Himawari’s spot. Delta questions Kawaki’s ability to defeat those who’ve already bested him. But the young man is determined to protect Himawari. But suddenly, Boruto flies past him. Back to Sarada’s group, Hidari reveals that he doesn’t remember anything but Sarada, and wonders what’ll happen if he consumes her. The Uchiha then notices a frog holding a paper with a symbol on it. Suddenly Boruto appears behind Hidari using the Flying God Technique and cuts the hand holding Sarada. At the same time, both Jura and Hidari react. Jura says, “What a tiresome technique,” just as Hidari says, “Otsutsuki… Boruto!” The chapter ends here.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 reveals Himawari’s strongest technique – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 reveals Himawari’s strongest technique PierrotBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 sneak peak reveals Himawari using her strongest technique against Jura. Boruto Two Blue Vortex just gave readers a glimpse into Chapter 11 ahead of its release. In it, Himawari is creating a tailed beast bomb in her Bijuu form. Her attack appears to be strong enough to knock Jura off his feet. This promises an exciting battle in the upcoming chapter. Since the events of Chapter 10, where Inojin seemingly dies and triggers Himawari’s Bijuu transformation, readers have been waiting for such a battle for the youngest Uzumaki. And now, their wish has come true. Despite being Naruto’s daughter, Himawari hasn’t had a lot of opportunities to shine in the story. It was understandable in Part 1 since she was a child at that time. But she deserves to show off her powers in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. The author seems to think so too as she’s been given a massive power-up in the sequel. In Chapter 9, Kurama revives inside Himawari, making her the newest jinchuriki. He also reveals that she has a greater affinity to the nine-tailed fox’s chakra than anyone before, even Naruto. Many characters have commented on Himawari’s tremendous potential before. But she never got the chance to show it, given that the spotlight was never on her. Despite having extraordinarily powerful Byakugan, she’s never fought any strong opponent. However, Boruto Two Blue Vortex seems to be correcting this mistake by giving Himawari her due. By making her a jinchuriki, the manga has just given the girl her strongest jutsu yet with the tailed beast bomb. This is a technique so powerful that only very few in the ninja world have used it. Fans are thrilled with this development and eagerly await the upcoming chapter. As one user wrote on X/Twitter, “Himawari having her comeback is all I have hoped for.” Another commented, “The only character that made Jura take his hands out of the pocket,” while a third tweeted, “My girl is out here making bijuu bomb on her own, she is unstoppable.” However, some are also doubtful whether this will last long, especially after the new Boruto Two Blue Vortex promo featuring Boruto and the Shinju. One such doubtful fan commented, “I’m calling it now: Kawaki will try to save her after she put up a good fight. But Kawaki will get rocked, and Boruto will save Kawaki and Jura retreats.” What actually happens will be revealed after Chapter 11’s release on June 20, 2024.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 promises doom for protagonist – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 promises doom for protagonist ShueishaBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 ends on a bleak note, with Jura vowing to kill the protagonist. The Shinju have been the main antagonists in Boruto Two Blue Vortex so far. Since the beginning, we’ve already seen them causing mayhem after invading Konoha, and their threat has increased now that the target is Boruto himself. In Chapter 12, the protagonist stands up against Hidari after saving Himawari and Sarada, respectively. This leads to the much-anticipated fight between the two where the Uzumaki completely overwhelms the Shinju. Though Hidari makes a comeback following this, he doesn’t stand a chance against Boruto. One hit of Uzuhiko is enough to destroy the villain and rip off half of his body. This proves how dangerous the young man is to his enemies. While this is happening, Jura is observing everything from afar. After witnessing Boruto’s power and his knowledge of the Soul Thorn, he decides the young man is too much of a threat to do anything but kill him. So, he plans to do exactly that. It seems Jura’s altercation with Himawari has affected him a great deal, as he no longer plans to consume her. Boruto obviously isn’t a choice, so that leaves Kawaki, who hasn’t shown himself to be a threat yet. So, the Shinju decides to eat Kawaki and kill Boruto. While the young man is being questioned by the Konoha shinobi, a laser-like attack suddenly pierces through his body. Following this, we see Jura up in the sky after snatching the Soul Thorn from the ninjas. “Well then… Kawaki alone is more than enough to serve as food for the Ten-Tails,” says Jura. “Otsutsuki Boruto… I’ve decided to kill you.” From now on, the Shinju’s killing intent will be solely on Boruto. And while the young man might’ve given him a tough fight, he’s also currently injured. As such, we can’t say for sure what’s going to happen. Besides, Jura is the strongest of the four Shinju, so it’s not going to be easy. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 will be released on July 20, 2024. Until then, find out if Inojin dies and how Kurama came back. You can also check out our article on Boruto vs. Kawaki.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 spoilers Pick off where the last chapter left off, Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 starts with the protagonist facing Hidari after saving Himawari and Sarada, respectively. He entrusts his sister to Konohamaru before engaging the Shinju. They have a brief altercation where Boruto uses Wind Style: Breakthrough to throw Hidari off. Then the scene changes to Kawaki and Hidari who are observing Jura from the sky. Seeing Himawari or Team 10 no longer there, they head for Boruto’s location. Boruto vs. Hidari continues. Sumire, who’s regained consciousness, tells the protagonist Hidari is targeting Sarada. The young Uchiha reveals the Shinju wants to consume her while Boruto confesses he’s created from Sasuke’s chakra. After they’re surrounded by the tailed creatures Hidari summons, Boruto and Sarada fight side by side in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12. The protagonist reveals he’ll use Uzuhiko at full power but he needs to recharge it first. Sarada offers to buy him time. Konohamaru also joins. But when things get too rough and Sarada is captured, Boruto has to use Uzuhiko despite it not being fully recharged yet. However, the technique is still tremendously powerful and rips apart the lower part of Hidari’s body. But as the defeated Shinju falls on the ground, Kawaki swoops in and kills him. Hidari’s death leaves behind a mysterious object which Kashin Koji identifies as the Soul Thorn. Boruto reveals it’s the only thing which can bring Sasuke back to his original self. However, while he’s being questioned by others, a laser suddenly pierces through him. When Sarada goes to pick it her, same happens to her hand. Delta then notices it’s Jura. The Shinju takes the Soul Thorn for himself before declaring consuming Kawaki will suffice and thus, he’ll kill Boruto. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 12 ends here.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex appears to be following controversial Himawari theory – and fans are split – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex appears to be following controversial Himawari theory – and fans are split CrunchyrollThe cliffhanger of Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 8 has fans split over a controversial Himawari theory and how it will be executed. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex, the kids have gotten older and the problems are more serious now. Naruto and Hinata are sealed by Kawaki and thought to be dead by everybody. Thanks to Eida’s Omnipotence, everyone thinks Kawaki is Naruto’s real son and Boruto is the one who killed the couple. In the midst of all these, Himawari is one character who got overlooked. But this could change in the future as Chapter 8 hinted at Himawari getting a more significant role in the series. Two new villains, Jura and Hidari came to Konoha in search of Naruto and found Naruto’s bijuu chakra inside Himawari. This plotline has split the fandom in two. One section of fans think this might be Himawari’s chance to shine as she could finally have significant moments and impactful fight scenes. As of yet, she’s only ever been used as a side character or a plot device. But the current storyline can change that by the arrival of Jura. Many believe Himawari may awaken some hidden power. However, another section is doubtful whether Himawari will be given such an opportunity in the manga. According to them, the most plausible scenario is Himawari being kidnapped by Jura and Hidari, and to save her, Boruto and Kawaki will have to team up. Given the track record of the manga, they find Boruto and Kawaki will take away the spotlight once again. “Maybe they’re gonna have a rescue arc with Hima that will result in her saving them all,” one user says on the Boruto subreddit. “Even if she gets kidnapped or something It’s too early to assume she will have that role forever, maybe that’s what will awaken her hidden power on the contrary,” says another. “I’m skeptical. Hima doesn’t have protagonist plot armor protecting her from getting captured and becoming yet another damsel in need of rescue can very easily lead to what I would consider worth dropping the series over,” states a contrasting opinion. If this Himawari theory is true, it will be revealed in Boruto Part 2 Chapter 9 which will be released on April 18, 2024. Check our guide on Naruto filler if you want to go right back to the start.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 features Sarada’s most exciting fight yet – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 features Sarada’s most exciting fight yet ShueishaA sneak peak for the much awaited Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 is out, revealing Sarada is finally having her time to shine as she gets a fight that’s been anticipated since the manga began. Boruto Two Blue Vortex is kicking off strong as the manga delivers one great chapter after another. After the shocking comeback of Kurama in Chapter 9, Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 will shed a light on the other characters. A sneak peek of the upcoming chapter reveals that Sarada is about to have her highly anticipated fight against Hidari in Chapter 10. It’ll be the first time she’ll have a major fight in the sequel Boruto manga. The sneak peak shows Sarada using her Sharingan as she dodges Hidari’s Chidori while showing a pretty impressive move. The chapter also shows Konohamaru rushing towards them in worry. This little peak is enough to let the readers know that they’re in for an adventure with Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10. The chapter will undoubtedly feature an intense sequence between Hidari and the last standing Uchiha. Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 will be released on May 20, 2024, at 7am Pacific Time (PT) in the United States, and the Sarada vs. Hidari fight will be the highlight of the chapter. What makes Sarada and Hidari’s battle all the more exciting is that they both have connections to Sasuke. Sarada is Sasuke’s only child while Hidari was created from Sasuke’s chakra. As a result, Hidari resembles Sasuke a great deal and that will be the emotional force behind this fight. Not only that but Hidari also possesses all of Sasuke’s jutsu, so in a way, defeating Hidari would be like Sarada surpassing her father, even if she isn’t as strong as Sasuke. While Hidari has plenty of Sasuke’s jutsu in his arsenal, Sarada has her Mangekyo Sharingan to aid her. They are both proficient in Chidori, so there might be a Chidori face-off in Chapter 10. As the full spoilers of the chapter are not out yet, it’s difficult to say whether Chapter 10 will focus entirely on Sarada or not. There could also be glimpses of Himawari and Kurama facing Zura and Boruto rushing to his sister in the upcoming chapter.

  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 has a clever Naruto callback that you might have missed – Dexerto

    Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 has a clever Naruto callback that you might have missed PierrotBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 has multiple major incidents happening concurrently, meaning you might’ve missed Himawari’s clever Naruto callback amidst all the action. Boruto Two Blue Vortex is a sequel to Naruto, so it’s no surprise that there will be callbacks to the parent series. One such moment appeared in the latest chapter of the manga and it was so subtle that you might’ve passed it by without another glance. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10, Himawari’s team is having a hard time with Jura. The God Tree incarnate is determined to consume the youngest Uzumaki and no matter how hard Team 10 tries to protect her, they’re no match for their enemy. Himawari, on the other hand, is busy with Kurama’s return. But at the end, when it seems like Inojin dies to protect her, she’s overcome with rage and transforms into her first Bijuu mode. This Boruto moment looks like a huge callback to the OG Naruto when Sasuke almost died to protect the titular protagonist. Which led to the knuckle-headed ninja unleashing Kurama’s powers for the first time. But this is not what we’re talking about. There is another Naruto reference hidden subtly within Chapter 10. When Himawari transforms into the Kyuubi mode, her hair flies around in a fashion similar to Kurama’s prehensile tails. This has some fans wondering if she’ll be able to use her hair as weapon in this form, but this is actually a nod to another female Uzumaki. The way Himawari’s hair flies is similar to Kushina whenever she was angry. In the redhead’s case, it was used for comedy to show her explosive moods. And though Himawari hasn’t inherited her grandmother’s fiery disposition, it appears she’s inherited her temper. Like Kushina, she’s not one to be trifled with. Some fans also have the same theory. As one Reddit user commented, “I think this is just a nod to Kushina when she got angry,” while another said, “She takes after her grandma really well.” A third added, “Well, Kushina’s hair also did that to symbolize the 9 tails though.” What happens after Himawari unleashes her Kyuubi powers will be revealed in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11, which will be released on June 20, 2024.

Hidari’s connection to Sasuke will prove to be a strong emotional force for Sarada to deal with the God Tree incarnate. The cover features Mini Kurama and Himawari. Jura goes after Team 10, while Hidari has a brief struggle with Sarada and is injured by the Chidori’s fall to the ground. Meanwhile, you won’t see much of Konohamaru in this chapter besides calling out Sarada’s name. Additionally, Kawaki, Delta, and Shikamaru only appear briefly here.

  • Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 ruins the series’ best moment – Dexerto

    Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 ruins the series’ best moment ShueishaBoruto’s long lived in the shadow of its predecessor, Naruto, and the latest chapter undermined one of the series’ few genuinely great moments: the death of Kurama. It’s fair to say that Boruto and Boruto: Two Blue Vortex have been divisive series. For every fan who’s happy to see the new generation of shinobi rise up to save the world from the omnicidal Ōtsutsuki, there’s another who feels the sequel undermines Naruto’s hard-earned victory in Shippuden. I must admit I find myself in the latter camp. While I can see what fans like about Boruto, the fact that the series undid the long-prophesied world peace that our favorite Naruto characters helped to usher in has left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. With that in mind, however, I do think Boruto has had one truly great moment — the death of Kurama, the nine-tailed fox demon that made Naruto a ninja to be reckoned with. So it’s a shame Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10 just brought Kurama back to life. Goodbye, Naruto… Kurama’s death was genuinely one of the most shocking moments in Boruto and was perfectly written. The introduction of Baryon mode gave Naruto and Kurama one last time to shine — as they delivered a cathartic beatdown to the previously seemingly invincible Isshiki — culminating in a heartbreaking moment where the Nine-Tails said a final goodbye to his old friend. As a staple of the series since the first chapter, Kurama’s unexpected death was like a kunai to the gut that felt like a passing of the baton moment. With Naruto no longer able to channel the demonic chakra that made him a powerhouse (and Sasuke losing his Rinnegan), the series’ narrative guardrails were effectively gone. Boruto, Sarada, Kawaki, and co could no longer rely on the adults to save the day; they needed to step up and master their own powers. It was a cool moment that tied into one of Naruto’s most prominent themes: the idea that each generation surpasses the one that came before it. Basically, Kurama’s death introduced some real stakes to a series that, until that point, had felt slightly listless. Unfortunately, reports of Kurama’s death were greatly exaggerated, and it was revealed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9 that the Nine-Tails had reincarnated inside Naruto’s daughter, Himawari Uzumaki. Now, by itself, this isn’t actually that big of a deal. We’ve known since Naruto Shippuden that the Tailed Beasts are effectively immortal, as after they die, they’re reborn following an unspecified amount of time. Guess who’s back? So what’s the problem? Well, the issue is that Chapter 10 confirms Kurama’s been brought back with all the memories of his past life. Effectively, the only difference between this Kurama and the one sealed in Naruto is that this version of the Nine-Tails is chibi-sized. Is that cute? Yes. But it completely nullifies the impact of his death and reinstalls the guardrails. The feeling that Kurama’s death was permanent was what made his death so effective. The pair, who’d endured so much together, were separated by the very thing they fought to eradicate: war. It was heartbreaking to see Naruto lose his closest companion, just like his parents, Jiraiya, and so many comrades. Now, that poignancy is undone. Effectively, Kurama moved house, and Naruto (if he ever gets unsealed) can chat with his old friend whenever he wants. This problem would have been easily solved by making the new Nine-Tails lose his memories of his time with Naruto or making them a completely new incarnation with a new personality, which leads me to the second issue. By reviving Kurama with his memories of his time with Naruto, the Nine-Tails has no reason not to help Himawari. As such, I can’t help but feel as though Kurama was brought back to serve as a convenient powerup for Naruto’s daughter, who’s been largely irrelevant until now. It feels like a convenient deus ex machina to get Himawari out of trouble while simultaneously curtailing future drama. After all, it took Naruto the best part of 500 chapters to befriend Kurama, but Himawari has skipped all that, effectively gaining his power with little to no effort. This feels like it’s doing a disservice to Himawari, as seeing her working to control the new power inside of her could have made for a nice side story focused on her. But nah, we’ve taken a shortcut and skipped to the end of that arc. It just feels like a wasted opportunity. Kurama’s death was bold and upsetting. It flipped Boruto on its head and gave the series some genuine stakes. The decision to revive him undermines all of that and disrespects the fox’s sacrifice. More than that, it just seems a bit odd; Naruto’s always been a series where consequences matter and avoided easy solutions to difficult issues, so why undo that good work now? Could it be because Kurama is one of the creator’s favorite characters? I suspect so. If you want to know more about Naruto and Boruto, then you’re in the right place.
