A brief summary of chapter 75

Boruto chapter 75 began with Amado providing a detailed list of every ability Eida and Daemon possess, before delving into their origins. He stated that rather than create such marvelous abilities by himself, Amado had transplanted the abilities using the DNA extracted from the remains of an Otsutsuki God called Shibai.

The scientist elaborated that Shibai underwent karmic resurrection numerous times and finally achieved godhood, the ultimate aim that all members of the Otsutsuki clan aim to reach.

He reassured them that Shibai no longer existed in their plane of existence and stated that while it was possible that he had been killed, Amado himself believed that the Otsutsuki God had willingly discarded his physical body.

Amado went on to define Shibai’s godlike abilities known as “shinjutsu,” and revealed that Eida and Daemon’s abilities, Code’s claw marks, Kawaki’s dojutsu inherited from Isshiki and the karma seals were all instances of shinjutsu.

He then recounted how his daughter, Akebi, had died 12 years from an unknown disease and admitted that Delta’s numerous versions were his failed attempts at recreating Akebi’s personality along with her appearance and memories.

Jigen had convinced Amado to help him create the perfect vessel for Isshiki in return for resurrecting his daughter, but the latter soon realized that Jigen may have no intention of helping him.

The scientist confessed that he incorporated his deceased daughter’s genetic data into Kawaki’s karma while reconstructing it, in hopes that Kawaki would help Amado resurrect Akebi by implanting the karma onto another clone he creates.

Chapter 75 raised more questions, however, when Momoshiki contacted Boruto, stating that their thoughts had begun spilling into each others’ consciousness after the former used his own genetic material to save his vessel.

Momoshiki confirmed Amado’s theory regarding Shibai’s ascension to a different plane and the definition of shinjutsu, but expressed his suspicions regarding Eida’s love charm, insisting that he had never come across a shinjutsu ability like that. Boruto chapter 75 ended with the younger Uzumaki manifesting Momoshiki’s dojutsu and seeing a glimpse of the village in chaos, searching for someone.
