Mitsuki’s biggest moment in Boruto may be coming soon (& Jura is the key)

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set to be released on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. However, before its official release, the series released two sneak peek previews for the chapter, hinting at a confrontation between Boruto and Jura.

Most fans might believe that this encounter will be the crux of the upcoming chapter. However, there is a chance that the chapter's crux might focus on Mitsuki, giving him a chance to shine against the Divine Tree.

With Boruto and Sarada already having gotten their big moments and Kawaki likely set up to have one, the only Team 7 member left out was Mitsuki. Therefore, fans can expect to witness the same in the next manga chapter.

Mitsuki could receive a huge power-up in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22

As seen in the two sneak peek previews for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22, the manga's next chapter will see Divine Tree Jura confront the protagonist in the Land of the Wind. While the manga has convinced fans that this encounter will be the crux of the chapter, that does not have to be the case.

From the available information, it is clear that Jura will arrive at the Land of the Wind and later fight his target. However, there is no indication that both events will take place one after another. Therefore, there is a big chance that Jura might arrive at the Land of the Wind at the start of the chapter and fight the Otsutsuki in the end. Between these two events, fans can likely witness a confrontation between Jura and Mitsuki.

As seen in the first preview, Jura arrived at the Land of the Wind at a location near Mitsuki. With that, there is chance that fans get to watch Mitsuki fight Jura. This is because the protagonist had convinced Mitsuki that he was his Sun. Hence, Mitsuki could fight the Divine Tree, hoping to protect his Sun.

Additionally, as fans must remember, both Boruto and Sarada had received new power-ups in the sequel manga. While Kawaki had yet to receive a power-up, Amado was set to increase his offensive capabilities, hinting at a possible new power-up. Therefore, the only left out character from Team 7 that was yet to receive a new power-up was Mitsuki.

Hence, there is a likely chance that the manga's next chapter could see Mitsuki surprise fans with a huge power-up that goes beyond his Sage Mode. With that, the Shinobi could slow down Jura from reaching his Sun. Unfortunately, while Mitsuki would want the protagonist to get away in such a situation, he is set to fail. The question is whether Mitsuki will be able to hold his own or get defeated instantly.
