5 Shocking Reveals And Key Moments In Boruto TBV Chapter 23: The Apex Of The Jura Showdown
As of today, December 21, 2025, *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex* continues to dominate the manga world, with fans still reeling from the pivotal events of Chapter 23. This chapter, a major turning point in the ongoing Shinju conflict, delivered one of the most anticipated confrontations in the series: Boruto Uzumaki versus the terrifying, sentient Shinju clone, Jura.
The significance of Chapter 23 cannot be overstated. It was the moment Boruto was forced to unleash a new level of power to combat a threat unlike any he had faced before, setting the stage for the narrative's current, high-stakes trajectory toward Chapter 29 and beyond. This deep dive uncovers the five most crucial revelations and epic clashes that defined the chapter and solidified Boruto's role as the Hidden Leaf's only hope.
The Boruto vs. Jura Showdown: A New Era of Power
Chapter 23 served as the definitive battlefield for Boruto’s post-timeskip training, finally putting his new abilities to the ultimate test against a foe who possessed both the raw power of an Ōtsutsuki and the terrifying, single-minded focus of a Shinju. Jura, a clone of the Ten-Tails with a terrifying intelligence, was solely focused on locating and consuming Naruto Uzumaki, a pursuit that brought him directly into conflict with the protagonist.
1. Boruto Unleashes the Purple Lightning (Shiden)
The highlight of the chapter was undoubtedly Boruto’s counterattack against the overwhelming power of Jura. In a stunning display, Boruto utilized a potent new technique: a powerful strike of purple lightning. This technique is a clear homage to Sasuke Uchiha's infamous Chidori and Kakashi Hatake's signature move, now adapted and mastered by Boruto.
- Technique Name: Often speculated to be a variant of *Shiden* (Purple Electricity) or a specialized *Rasengan* infusion.
- Impact: The strike was powerful enough to momentarily disrupt Jura, proving that Boruto has developed formidable techniques capable of damaging a Shinju clone, a feat few others could attempt.
- Topical Authority: This moment cemented Boruto’s growth, showing he has not only mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique but also inherited/developed high-level elemental jutsu, moving beyond just the Rasengan variants.
2. Jura's Chilling Full Power Revealed
While Boruto’s attack was impressive, Chapter 23 also made it clear that Jura is an existential threat. The chapter provided a glimpse into the Shinju clone’s true capabilities, showcasing a raw, unbridled power that far surpasses the Claw Grime.
Jura's power is characterized by:
- Ōtsutsuki-level Chakra: His energy reserves and destructive force are on par with the higher-tier Ōtsutsuki.
- Regenerative Abilities: The effectiveness of Boruto's attack was quickly negated by the Shinju's rapid healing, forcing Boruto to adopt a more strategic approach.
- The Pursuit of Naruto: Jura's unwavering goal to find and consume Naruto remains the core driving force, making him a relentless and focused adversary.
The Hidden Leaf's Defensive Front and Kawaki's Aura
Chapter 23 skillfully balanced the main confrontation with the escalating side-conflicts within the Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha), highlighting the chaotic state of the world under Eida's Omnipotence. The focus shifted briefly to the defense efforts, showcasing the resilience of the Shinobi forces against the Claw Grime.
3. Mitsuki and Konohamaru's Coordinated Defense
The chapter provided much-needed screen time for supporting characters, specifically Mitsuki and Konohamaru Sarutobi. Mitsuki, despite the confusion caused by Omnipotence, was shown to be highly effective, reportedly wiping out a significant number of Claw Grime on his own. This impressive feat was followed by Konohamaru joining the fray, presumably on Boruto’s orders, setting up a coordinated defensive effort.
This development is crucial for topical authority, as it addresses the LSI keywords of 'Mitsuki' and 'Konohamaru' and shows that not all of the village is paralyzed by the main conflict. It also hints at Boruto's leadership and strategic thinking, utilizing his allies even while engaged in a life-or-death battle.
4. The Looming Threat of Kawaki's New Power
While Boruto and Jura dominated the action, the chapter subtly built up the tension surrounding Kawaki. Discussions and leaks from the chapter suggested that Kawaki was "pulling up with mad aura," indicating a significant increase in his own power and a looming confrontation.
Kawaki's presence is the ultimate wild card. His goal is to protect the village and his 'father' (Kawaki believes Naruto is his father due to Omnipotence), which puts him on a collision course with Boruto, especially as Boruto is the one actively fighting the Shinju threat that is targeting Naruto. This foreshadowing in Chapter 23 was a powerful narrative hook, promising an even more explosive clash in subsequent chapters.
The Long-Term Impact on the Two Blue Vortex Saga
Chapter 23, now a historical benchmark as the series progresses toward Chapter 29, fundamentally changed the stakes of *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*. It moved the narrative past the initial re-introduction phase and into a full-scale war against the Shinju.
5. The Shinju Weakness and Boruto's Strategy
The most compelling long-term reveal was the subtle hint at a potential weakness for the Shinju. Boruto's ability to land a powerful, focused strike—combined with his tactical use of the Flying Thunder God Technique—suggests that the Shinju clones, while powerful, are not invulnerable. The Shinju’s weakness is likely not purely physical but tied to their consciousness or the core of their being, which Boruto’s specialized jutsu may be designed to exploit.
This chapter solidified the following narrative pillars:
- Boruto as the Apex Fighter: His mastery of new techniques makes him the only one capable of engaging the Shinju clones directly.
- The Shinju as the Central Villains: They are a more immediate and terrifying threat than Code, whose relevance has been sidelined by their emergence.
- The Inevitable Brother vs. Brother Conflict: The foreshadowing of Kawaki's power surge ensures that the Boruto vs. Kawaki conflict remains the emotional core of the series.
In conclusion, *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex* Chapter 23 was a masterclass in action and narrative progression. It delivered the spectacular Boruto vs. Jura fight, showcased the protagonist’s new Purple Lightning technique, and expertly set the stage for the escalating conflicts involving Kawaki, Mitsuki, and the ever-present threat of the Shinju. The reverberations of this chapter continue to shape the storyline, making it essential reading for anyone following the saga.
