Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 has finally been released, and this chapter is undoubtedly lore-heavy, and it seems like the fight against the people of Konoha versus Mamushi might be in favour of the heroes. In this chapter, the biggest highlights are Boruto unlocking a new ability, Kawakii making an entrance in the battle and absolutely dominating it, and Shinju forces starting to crumble. But if we look past this fast moment in Chapter 29, we see that there is something horribly wrong starting to take place.

The title of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 is Pest Control, which is accompanied by a tagline, "Charge into battle, become superhuman." There is a chance that the creator used the term pest in reference to Mamushi because of his ability to split himself into multiple clones. Moreover, Boruto is no longer holding back, and the cost of that freedom is finally coming into focus.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 shows us a conversation between Boruto and Momoshiki, and it is chilling. We see that the protagonist offers his body on one condition that Momoshiki needs to help him fight against the Shinju. As their thoughts are linked, it is not possible for Boruto to lie or to scheme. It is revealed that he is genuinely ready to give himself up to get more power.

This exchange has massive implications. Momoshiki openly states that once the Shinju are gone, Kawaki will come for him next. The fact that Boruto doesn’t deny this suggests he truly believes Kawaki can defeat a fully manifested. Then, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29, Momoshiki ultimately agrees, activating Boruto’s Karma and granting him access to his power without resistance. This moment confirms that Boruto now has full control over the abilities he once feared.

The most shocking reveal in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 is Boruto awakening the Byakugan. Unlike traditional Hyuga or Otsutsuki usage, Boruto activates his abilities without visible veins, suggesting a unique evolution tied to his Karma extraction.

He effortlessly uses this ability to fight against Mamushi, and does not even break a sweat as he is engaged in this battle. It is interesting to note how he decimates Mamushi clones effortlessly, teleporting, slicing through multiple enemies, and combining Rasengan-based attacks with flawless spatial awareness.

While Boruto controls one front, Kawaki steals the spotlight in Area C. He cruises through destroying Mamushi's clone, as we see it takes him a single punch to obliterate them. This just shows that it is not only Boruto who has gotten stronger. Then in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29, we see that Kawakii also makes a cold declaration showing us on serious he is taking this battle and also sends a shiver down readers' spines.

Away from the battlefield, tensions rise within the village. Mitsuki’s interrogation over Boruto’s escape spirals out of control, especially when Konohamaru’s attempt to protect Shikamaru backfires. Political pressure mounts just as the village comes under attack, threatening to remove key strategists at the worst possible time.

The chapter closes with Team 10 and Himawari successfully holding their ground against Mamushi’s forces. On paper, everything is going well. But Kashin Koji’s silent, troubled expression tells a different story. Even as the enemy numbers fall, Koji knows the future hasn’t changed enough.


Final thoughts

That final panel makes one thing clear: Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 isn’t setting up a victory; rather, it is setting up a tragedy. While they might win against this villain for now, that does take away the fact that something terrible is coming, and no amount of power may be enough to stop it.
