Major Boruto character \u201cshould have died\u201d, but Kishimoto was forced to change direction ShueishaBoruto Two Blue Vortex author Masashi Kishimoto wanted to kill a major character but refrained after fellow author and artist Mikio Ikemoto\u2019s request. To promote the return of the Boruto movie in theaters, Kishimoto and Ikemoto sat down for a brief interview. During the session, they answered previously collected questions from fans, revealing many interesting details about the characters. Aside from speaking about his regret over Sakura and the secret behind Sarada\u2019s jacket, Kishimoto also shared his initial plan to kill a major character in Boruto Two Blue Vortex. The author said: \u201cThere is another important character that should have died, but Ikemoto said to keep \u2018him\u2019 alive.\u201d He further added, \u201cIt would be a major spoiler if I spat it out.\u201d So, we don\u2019t know who had a death sentence on their head before Ikemoto made Kishimoto change his mind. It could be Sasuke, who\u2019s in a sorry state right now but still alive. Maybe it\u2019s Inojin, as he faced a near-death experience in Chapter 10, but ultimately survived. Besides this mystery \u201cimportant character\u201d, Kishimoto also wanted to kill Code, but didn\u2019t proceed with it. Speaking about this, he revealed, \u201cI believe that Code should\u2019ve died in one of the fights he had, but I and Ikemoto will move forward on what to plan for him.\u201d This suggests that Code may have a major role further down the story. Maybe he\u2019ll die after he\u2019s done his part, as that was Kishimoto\u2019s original plan for him. As of now, he\u2019s been surpassed by both Boruto and the Shinju in power. Boruto fans are also weighing in on this reveal. One wrote on X, \u201cIf we don\u2019t have Ikemoto, I don\u2019t think we will have at least 5 characters for Boruto in the climax. Kishimoto is literally going to become a soul reaper.\u201d \u201cThank God Ike was there or else Kishi would have been known as the most heartless author,\u201d joined someone else. \u201cThat means they probably have something VERY BIG planned for him in the future, something that can change the story perhaps?\u201d suggested another user about Code. \u201cIkemoto say \u2018we better give them development first before killing \u2019em\u2019,\u201d commented one fan. Kishimoto and Ikemoto will give a full interview on August 25, which means we\u2019ll learn more intriguing details about the manga\u2019s plot and the creators\u2019 writing processes.
