Things are going to get much more exciting in Boruto moving forward, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what's next in store for these beloved characters. For now, the most exciting thing that fans picked up from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 is that Himawari Uzumaki now has powers so passing that of a Jinchuriki.

Himawari's Kurama Power

Himawari Gained The Power Of Kurama Recently In Boruto

Himawari wasn't focused on all that much in the original Boruto series. In that series, fans saw the vast majority of the focus being thrown on the likes of Kawaki and Boruto. There's nothing wrong with that approach, especially because these two individuals are the main characters, however, when the author starts neglecting every other side character in the series, that's when it becomes a problem. It can be said that despite having moments where the story was very enjoyable, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was lacking in terms of a diverse cast that received their own moments and could stand on their own, aside from the main character.

The only ones who have ever achieved true control over the Biju are Uchiha Madara, and Hashirama Senju, along with Fourth Mizukage Yagura and Lord Raikage's younger brother, Killer Bee. That's about it. - Danzo

That was somewhat remedied in the early half of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Whether the author can actually go on to maintain that throughout the run of the series is something that fans will have to see, but for now, readers have seen characters such as Himawari get a lot of attention. Right from the beginning of the story, Himawari Uzumaki has seen more screen time. Fans could see her train with the likes of Team 10, and at the same time, her potential shining bright, unlike any other individual in the story.

At the same time, soon after, it was confirmed that Himawari was now the next Jinchuriki of Kurama. Fans were expecting Kurama to return at some point in Boruto, and now, it has finally happened. Himawari Uzumaki was recently confirmed to have had Kurama spawned inside of her. How exactly this happened isn't clearly explained in the story. In fact, Kurama himself was not sure what exactly happened, but according to him, it doesn't matter, and what matters is that she has this power inside of her. Now, fans wanted a glimpse of what she could do in combat, and her true strength came forth when Inojin was injured in the previous chapter of Boruto. Jura made sure to stab him right through his gut, leaving him for dead. This essentially caused Himawari to rage and bring out her true powers, which fans saw a proper display of in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11.

Himawari's Power Surpasses That Of A Jinchuriki

Himawari's Healing And Chakra Control Is Beyond That Of A Jinchuriki

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11, Himawari showcased incredible powers for the very first time in the story. She was able to manifest Kurama's powers enough to the point where she could essentially force Jura to take her seriously in combat. Himawari's speed was absolutely exceptional, to the point where she could actually punch him across the face and send him flying. This caused Jura to utilize his true powers as well, and that was absolutely incredible for the fans to see. What's more, Himawari, who had broken her leg, was able to heal this within an instant. This should not come as a surprise to the fans. The chakra of the Nine Tails has healing properties and fans have already seen that long ago in the story. For instance, when Sasuke punctured one of Naruto's lungs with a powerful Chidori, he was able to heal this damage within an instant. This is also true for Himawari.

What astounding healing power. Something far beyond a human or a Jinchuriki possesses. Something almost like what a Biju has.

What's more, Himawari could also save other individuals around her. Inojin, who was stabbed right through the gut and was dying, was healed by Himawari in an instant. Later down the line, Himawari was injured by Jura once again, and her healing came in clutch here as well. Himawari can essentially heal from any damage that she takes instantly, however, the chakra consumption is massive for this healing. Right now, at the level that she is on, Himawari is not strong enough to sustain this. That said, this power of Himawari is one that surpassed that of a Jinchuriki by quite a margin. In fact, in Jura's own words, Himawari isn't like a Jinchuriki. She is like a Tailed Beast herself, in terms of how she utilizes this power.

This should not come as a surprise to any fan. This simply means that Himawari has much better synchronization with Kurama's powers. Kurama explained this himself in the previous chapter, where he stated that out of all the Jinchuriki he has had, Himawari has the highest affinity with his chakra, meaning that she can make the best use of it effortlessly. In many ways, it is as if there is no Jinchuriki, and Kurama's chakra is entirely Himawari's own, which means that his healing properties, as well as every other bit of his chakra, can be utilized by her without any restrictions.

Himawari's Limitations

Himawari Might Be Stronger But Her Powers Are Limited

While Himawari's powers are certainly incredible, she also has some limitations placed on her. Fans have seen these limitations across her last battle, and the stamina drain this form causes her is absolutely immense. At the same time, Kurama is also very small right now. Baby Kurama can only supply Himawari with so much chakra. For her to be at maximum strength where she can rival the likes of the Otsutsuki by herself, Kurama needs to be fully mature, and when that happens, Himawari can then utilize his powers and gain an almost infinite pool of chakra. Right now, this is a major restriction for her.

At the same time, Himawari receiving Kurama's Powers does not make her a genius of combat. She still needs to brush up on her basic skills and then improve her overall fighting abilities. Right now, Himawari is still an unfinished product and it will take her quite some time and training in order to take her skills to the next level.

This is precisely why she ended up losing to Jura in battle, and this also makes perfect sense. Right now, she is not ready for a challenge this big. But, her strength is already immense, and fans have been given a glimpse of what she can accomplish in the future. If this keeps up, she will be the strongest Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails to have ever existed, potentially only aside from Naruto Uzumaki.

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 12, is set to be July 20, 2024.
