Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is ready to release chapter 24, and fans will witness a crucial moment between Kawaki and Jura that has the potential to change the trajectory of the story. Since Kawaki had trapped Naruto and Hinata in an alternate dimension and managed to alter everyone's memory, readers have had a conflicting view of him.

This chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will show us how much he has evolved and matured as a character. Chapter 24 starts with a flashback between Boruto and Kawaki, and they are sitting on the top of the iconic Hokage stone faces.

Boruto gives him a Flying Thunder God. This gesture has a deep meaning, as it symbolizes the emotional connection between the brothers. In a world where trust is fragile, especially between two boys with so much shared bloodshed and betrayal, this is a big deal.

This flashback effectively sets the tone for the rest of the chapter, as we see Kawaki is still someone Boruto believes in. And if Boruto still trusts him, maybe readers should, too.

In true Boruto: Two Blue Vortex fashion, the action quickly escalates as Kawaki engages Jura directly. The battle choreography is fast and brutal, with Kawaki absorbing a Bijuu Dama (Tailed Beast Bomb) and then retaliating by summoning four massive black cubes to crush Jura. While the cubes miss, this shows his strategic planning and refined use of Isshiki’s techniques.

This battle between Jura and Kawaki, this section of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 24, is visually stunning and narratively important. Kawaki isn't reckless; he's controlled, tactical, and deadly. For fans who saw him as someone who would never take any action, he proved them wrong.

When Jura, now healed by Mokuton roots, sits atop a throne of vines and mocks Kawaki, the response is chilling. Kawaki doesn’t fly into a rage or lose focus. He calmly praises Jura’s instinct for wanting to go after Naruto, then tells him he’ll kill him one day, without fail.

This moment might be the most important character beat for Kawaki in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex so far. He isn’t screaming, isn’t wild-eyed, and isn’t reckless. He’s resolved. Focused. Unapologetically dangerous. But with a purpose. It’s the first time he’s truly felt like a protector rather than a destroyer.


Kawaki’s role is changing in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

The core of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has always been about passing the torch. In this chapter, we see that playing out clearly. Kawaki’s Karma resembles a new-age Sharingan.

His black cubes function like a miniature, weaponized version of Chibaku Tensei. His bond with Boruto reflects the best parts of Naruto and Sasuke’s complicated brotherhood.

But here’s the catch: Kawaki isn’t just filling Sasuke’s shoes. He’s carving out a new archetype: a protector who once broke the system and is now trying to preserve what’s left. He isn’t about ideology or clan pride; he’s driven by loyalty, grief, and hard-earned trust.

This chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex tries to reframe his character while not erasing his past actions. While there is no denying that he made a bad decision before, chapter 24 shows that he, too, is capable of maturing.

Kawaki partaking in this fight symbolizes that he is ready to fight for his village for selfless reasons. Moreover, looking at an incredibly strong character supporting the heroes is a huge step for an anti-hero character.


Final thoughts

In a story full of morally gray characters and shifting allegiances, Kawaki’s actions in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 24 prove he’s one of the most compelling figures in the series. Whether or not readers agree with his past, it’s hard to deny his growth, bravery, and tactical brilliance in this chapter. Respect isn’t handed out freely; it’s earned. And in this latest installment, Kawaki might have finally earned his.
