Recap for Chapter 37

This chapter focused on the biggest problem that Boruto might be facing in the future: Momoshiki might end up taking control of his body. Kashin Koji is now aware of certain future events that could push Boruto to lose control. That is why he is withholding some information because Momoshiki knows everything that is going on in Boruto’s mind.

Meanwhile, Sarada was captured by Code but secretly used Ohirume to remove one of her earrings and leave it infused with her chakra. Boruto discovers the earring and realizes that Sarada wants him to use Flying Raijin to reach her. Code and Hidari also fight over Sarada, while Jura begins learning what friendship means through his relationship with Hidari.

What to expect from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38? (Speculative)

After the ending of the recent installment, here is what fans could expect from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38:

• Boruto may teleport directly to Sarada: The biggest expectation for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38is Boruto attempting to use the Flying Raijin on Sarada’s earring. This could give Boruto his first real opportunity to enter the Divine Tree’s hideout without relying on Code.

• Sarada could confront Code and Hidari: Sarada is currently caught between Code and Hidari, but the situation may actually give her an opportunity to fight back. A popular possibility is that Sarada inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38 will attempt to use Ohirume against one or both of them before Boruto arrives.

• Momoshiki could interfere with Boruto: Momoshiki’s appearance in Chapter 37 could become extremely important. He specifically taunted Boruto about Sarada, seemingly recognizing how emotionally important she is to him. This raises the possibility that Momoshiki will deliberately try to destabilize Boruto during the rescue attempt inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38.

In the end, the biggest question is whether Boruto can save Sarada without triggering the future Koji is desperately trying to prevent. For now, fans will have to wait until October 20, 2026, when the next chapter officially arrives.
