The upcoming release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 32 brings the battle fans have been demanding since Daemon first appeared. After spending most of the series as Eida’s silent bodyguard, the overpowered younger brother is finally getting his chance to fight. Official previews confirm that the “demon thirsty for battle” will be unleashed when hundreds of Shinju Mamushi clones swarm the Hidden Leaf Village .
Set to drop on March 18, 2026, this chapter marks the explosive conclusion to Shikamaru’s risky plan. The acting Hokage made a dangerous bet by using Eida as bait to gather all the clones in one place. Now Daemon, who never leaves Eida’s side, has no choice but to engage the enemy directly .
Shikamaru’s Bold Strategy Forces Daemon’s Hand
Acting Hokage Shikamaru Nara put everything on the line with his latest order. Instead of continuing the exhausting fight against multiplying Mamushi clones, he commanded all shinobi to retreat and lure the creatures toward Eida’s location. The clones are naturally drawn to her Senrigan (All-Seeing Eye) ability, making her the perfect trap .
The problem? Daemon stands guard over Eida at all times. When hundreds of enemy clones come charging at his sister, Daemon cannot stay on the sidelines. Chapter 31 ended with a wide grin spreading across his face as he realized the fight was finally coming to him .
For a character introduced as one of the most broken abilities in the entire Naruto and Boruto universe, Daemon has seen almost no real combat. His power reflects any killing intent back at the attacker, instantly neutralizing threats. Even Isshiki Otsutsuki reportedly avoided fighting him directly. Chapter 32 will finally show whether Daemon’s power has limits when faced with overwhelming numbers .
Sarada Pushes Her Limits Against Endless Clones
The previous chapter, titled “Shut Up,” put Sarada Uchiha in the spotlight. She activated her Mangekyo Sharingan and used her unique ability, Ohirume, to trap clones in black spheres. The technique proved effective but came at a heavy cost. Blood streamed from her eye as she admitted she could not maintain it for long .
Sarada fought alongside Delta to hold the line while the village prepared Shikamaru’s trap. Her growth as a fighter continues to impress, but Chapter 32 may push her beyond her current limits. If Hidari—the Shinju clone created from her father Sasuke Uchiha—appears during the chaos, Sarada will face an impossible emotional battle against a version of her own trapped parent .
Kashin Koji’s predictions, which have proven accurate so far, warn that total chaos in Konoha will draw the two strongest Shinju into the fight. Hidari targeting Sarada would create one of the most heartbreaking confrontations in the series .
Inojin’s Sacrifice and the Cost of War
While Sarada fought on the front lines, Inojin Yamanaka played a crucial role behind the scenes. Under Kashin Koji’s direction, he used his Mind Body Transmission jutsu to connect the village’s communications. This allowed all shinobi to coordinate their retreat and lure tactics effectively .
The effort left Inojin completely vulnerable. Chapter 31 ended with him in critical condition, and his fate remains uncertain heading into Chapter 32. If Inojin does not survive, the consequences will ripple through the village. His parents, Sai and Ino Yamanaka, both hold key positions in Konoha’s leadership. Losing their son to Shikamaru’s plan could fracture the alliance holding the village together .
The Mamushi clones themselves present a growing mystery. While they share physical stats, they show different durability levels when attacked. This suggests something more complex than simple cloning is at work, possibly tying back to the nature of the Shinju themselves .
Jura’s Eyes Remain Fixed on Himawari
Beyond the immediate Mamushi threat, Jura waits in the shadows. As the strongest of the Shinju, Jura has shown particular interest in Himawari Uzumaki. She recently awakened her connection to Kurama’s chakra, inheriting a piece of the Nine-Tails that once resided in her father, Naruto .
If Jura enters the battlefield during Chapter 32, he will likely target Himawari directly. A confrontation between Jura and Himawari would carry enormous emotional weight. It would force Himawari to defend the legacy of Kurama while facing an enemy who may see her as nothing more than a vessel for power .
The parallel to Naruto’s own battles against tailed beast enemies adds depth to this potential matchup. Himawari has grown tremendously since the timeskip, but facing Jura would be her greatest test yet .
Boruto’s Jougan May Finally Appear
Fans have waited years for the Jougan to take center stage in the manga. The mysterious dojutsu has appeared in the anime and been heavily teased in promotional material, but it has barely featured in the main story. Chapter 32 could finally change that .
With Boruto facing overwhelming numbers and enemies wielding Rinnegan-level abilities, the situation calls for something extraordinary. If the Jougan does awaken fully, it would give Boruto a power distinctly his own—separate from Momoshiki’s influence and Kawaki’s Karma abilities .
The Jougan’s known properties include seeing invisible threats and sensing negative emotions, making it the perfect counter to the Shinju’s nature. Its return would signal a major shift in Boruto’s development and set up future conflicts against stronger enemies.
