Boruto Uzumaki’s New Jutsu – Purple Electricity, Explained

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 dropped recently and it appears to be one of the most incredible chapters that fans have witnessed in the story so far. This chapter of Boruto has proven itself to be nothing short of extraordinary as many interesting plot points were tackled and at the same time, fans got to see glimpses of the strength of the next generation characters once again.


Given that all of these characters are now fresh out of a 3-year timeskip, they have leveled up to incredible degrees of strength. Fans have been pleased by the author giving them glimpses of their current power level over the course of the first few chapters of the story and that pattern seems to continue, with Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 giving fans a glimpse of Boruto Uzumaki’s new ability, Purple Electricity.


Boruto Uzumaki’s Timeskip Training

Boruto Uzumaki left Konoha 3 years ago with Sasuke Uchiha. This came on the back of him and Kawaki switching their lives, thanks to the power of Omnipotence. Fans know Omnipotence to be an incredibly powerful technique. This technique was responsible for Boruto and Kawaki switching their lives. Essentially, Omnipotence is an ability that belonged to Shibai Otsutsuki, who is the only known Otsutsuki to ascend to godhood and fulfill the will of the clan. After he left his mortal body behind, his remains were used to infuse humans with his powers, and as a result, Aida got the power of Omnipotence.

Although Ada does not have full control over the power of Omnipotence, fans do know for a fact that she is incredibly powerful and can channel this ability on certain occasions. Towards the end of the first part of the Boruto series, Ada did just that and Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki swapped lives. Sasuke helped Boruto escape from the village in an attempt to grow stronger so that he could face his enemies better and save the world. After just a single year of training, Boruto Uzumaki had learned the basics of everything that Sasuke possessed in his own arsenal.

From there onwards, Boruto was on his own as he had to hone his skills in these abilities that Sasuke taught him and reach the peak as a Shinobi. It appears that one of the incredible techniques that Boruto picked up from Sasuke was Purple Electricity, which is an incredible Lightning Release technique invented by none other than Kakashi.

Boruto’s Usage Of Purple Electricity

When speaking of Purple Electricity, one wonders as to what this jutsu actually does. Essentially, this jutsu is somewhat similar to the Raikiri, however, it appears to be a stronger variant of the technique. This jutsu was invented by none other than Kakashi Hatake, the 6th Hokage. Kakashi invented Raikiri after his Sharingan was lost during the 4th Great Ninja War. As a result, he could not channel the power of Raikiri anymore and he had to come up with an alternative, which is how he developed Purple Electricity.

Essentially, this powerful jutsu sees Kakashi manifest lightning in his palm, just like Chidori, and then either hit enemies with it, or, use it from range as a projectile. The power of Purple Electricity appears to be absolutely incredible. It was used in the series on many occasions and it appears to hold tremendous devastating potential. Now, Boruto Uzumaki appears to have mastered this technique and even an advanced application of it.

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 6, Boruto Uzumaki was seen fighting against Mitsuki. As soon as Mitsuki got to Boruto, he wrapped his snakes around him in an attempt to constrict him and then inject venom into his body using the fangs of his snake. Thankfully, Boruto was smart enough to know how to escape this technique and, making use of the Flying Thunder God, he repositioned himself better for combat. Mitsuki did not stop his assault and continued launching powerful techniques at him, one after another.

When he launched his hidden shadow snakes technique, Boruto Uzumaki responded with Purple Electricity. This confirms that he is now a capable user of this Jutsu. However, Boruto didn’t just use Purple Electricity like one would normally. Instead, he showcased an advanced version of purple electricity where he channeled this power directly into his sword This suggests that boruto has mastered the ability to channel Purple Electricity, which is nothing short of staggering. Using his sword coated in Purple Electricity, Boruto was able to chop through all of Mitsuki’s snakes.

Given that Mitsuki himself has reached quite a high level as a Shinobi, the fact that Boruto easily countered one of his strongest techniques just goes to show the strength of the jutsu that is Purple Electricity, and, at the same time, also the level that Boruto has hit during the timeskip as well.

Boruto Vs Mitsuki

Now that Boruto has learned an advanced jutsu such as Purple Electricity, among others, fans are itching to see him display all of his abilities in combat properly. It appears that fans will soon get the chance to see that as Boruto Uzumaki will be taking on Mitsuki in the upcoming chapter of the story. On the outskirts of Konoha, Boruto is left with no choice but to engage in combat with his friend. Fans will most likely see Boruto utilize skills such as the Flying Thunder God and even Purple Electricity once again. Whether that will be enough to take down Mitsuki or not remains to be seen. What fans know for sure is the fact that this upcoming chapter of Boruto will give them the opportunity to see these two powerful individuals to the best of their abilities.

So far, neither Boruto nor Mitsuki have had the opportunity to showcase what they are truly capable of. Now, however, both of them can showcase their newly learned arsenal of weapons in combat as they attempt to take the other down. Given that Boruto has learned everything that Sasuke has had to offer, fans can rest assured that he will whip out some of the most powerful techniques on the same level as Purple Electricity, or potentially even stronger, in the upcoming chapters.

At the same time, fans can also expect something similar from Mitsuki. In 3 years’ time, Mitsuki has trained his abilities to the absolute best and he appears to be in complete control over his sage transformation and whatever he has picked up during these three years will be put on display in the upcoming chapter as well. It must be remembered that Mitsuki himself is a user of Purple Electricity and, thus, fans could actually end up seeing a clash of two Purple Electricity users in the upcoming Boruto chapter, and just the mere idea of that is incredibly exciting.

Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of Boruto, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 7, is set to be February 20, 2024.
