Ever since the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga began serialization, fans can't stop theorizing about what will happen in the series's future. Such theories have become even more prevalent in recent months as Himawari Uzumaki was revealed as the new Jinchuriki to the Nine-Tailed Beast Kurama.

Fans had always known that Himawari had a special purpose to play in the manga but always believed that it had something to do with her Hyuga bloodline and Byakugan. While being the Jinchuriki to Kurama itself is huge, fans believe that Himawari might be divine as well, in a state around Shibai Otsutsuki.

While this may sound absurd, the hint for the same could be hidden in her name, which means "sunflower."

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex - Himawari's name suggests her connection to the divine

While Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga has yet to indulge much in Shibai Otsustuki, fans might remember what the manga explained about the entity in the previous manga. During the explanation, one of the panels saw Shibai standing in a space with a certain pattern in its background.

As one can see, the pattern was quite intriguing. That's when one Boruto fan on X @Marcelpi3 noticed how similar the pattern was to the disk florets of a sunflower. If one were to apply the golden ratio or Fibonacci spiral to the sunflower's florets, one can observe that the florets move in a similar pattern. The same pattern can be seen in Shibai Otsutsuki's background.

According to some people, the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence are God's divine order as such mathematical principles are often found in nature. These are especially evident in the swirl of a galaxy, the arch of an ocean wave, the tail of a seahorse, etc. Therefore, similarly, sunflowers had seemingly been designed using the divine formula of creation.

Considering how Shibai, an Otsutsuki God's background depicted a pattern that is clearly similar to the pattern followed by the florets of a sunflower, there is reason to believe they are interconnected in some way.

Fans should remember that Himawari was not only a Byakugan user due to her Hyuga bloodline but had also become the Jinchuriki to Kurama. Such powers being manifested within Himawari have to mean something. This is also hinted at by Kurama's statement about his return.

Given that a tailed beast's death is never eternal, he was bound to manifest in the world again. However, his return should have taken hundreds or thousands of years. Instead, he returned around three years after his death in Himawari. This suggests that Himawari could be divine, in some way related to the Otsutsuki clan or Shibai.

One must also remember that Daemon felt threatened by her. While Daemon feeling Kurama's chakra within her could be a valid point, there is no reason for the cyborg to feel threatened by a tailed beast.
