Two of the biggest shonen manga series are each releasing a new chapter this week, and one of them is already creating a lot of buzz on social media because of a shocking scene. While the new Dragon Ball Super chapter has its own surprises, it was Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 66 that had many fans questioning about the fate of a major character.
Warning: Spoilers from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations ahead.
Major spoilers from this month's chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations have already leaked, including its final pages, which feature one of the most shocking scenes in the Naruto franchise yet. Chapter 66, which is titled Killed or Be Killed, features Borushiki (Momoshiki taking temporary control of Boruto's body) fighting Kawaki.
Close to the end of the chapter, Boruto is struggling to take control of his body, and as he is kneeling on the ground, he says that there's a "last resort" option. Then Boruto clasps his hands together and make the serpent hand seal as Naruto screams out in horror. Naruto is able to touch his son again, but Boruto blasts him out of the way using Wind Release Gale Palm.
Kawaki says that Boruto has been preparing for this moment, as Boruto looks at Kawaki, and asks him to kill him while his consciousness is still suppressing Momoshiki.
Kawaki then pierces Boruto straight to the chest... "at least a meter of Kawaki's transformed arm has gone out the other side", which is now pouring blood. This is where the chapter ends. Although the chapter didn't confirm if Boruto died, the injuries were clearly severe, so fans are wondering if the titular hero actually survived Kawaki's devastating blow?
Now, fans of Masashi Kishimoto's popular shonen franchise have shared their reactions on Twitter, with many expressing a mix of shock, disbelief, wild speculation, hilarious memes, and panels from previous chapters that will give new meaning to Kawaki's cold words.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 66 is expected to release on Thursday, January 20. For more details about the latest chapter, check out everything we know about the manga's Chapter 66 here.
