Jura, the leader ofBoruto: Two Blue Vortex’s main villainous group, the Shinju (self-aware Divine Trees), is one of the most intriguing characters in the series. The origin of this ominous character has been one of the most recurring questions asked by fans of this amazing series. Due to his nature as a Sentient God Tree, the manga strongly hinted at Jura being created with another notable character as his base.
Yet, chapter 14 of the manga series disproved the well-researched and exciting theories fans crafted by revealing the slightly underwhelming truth behind Boruto’s nemesis. Unlike the rest of his group, Jura was not created when a powerful individual was absorbed by a God Tree.He is the physical manifestation of the Ten-Tailswho used to be under Code’s control.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Revealed That Jura Is Not Based on Any Person
Jura Is the Direct Incarnation of the Ten-Tails
During chapter 14 of theBoruto: Two Blue Vortexmanga series, Konohamaru questions the main character about the mysterious enemies that attacked the Hidden Leaf. Naruto’s son shares what he knows about these intriguing beings, revealing that they are sentient creatures born fromthe Claw Grime created by Code. Most members of this group were bornafter a powerful shinobi was absorbed by one of these monsters. For example, Hidari was created by using Sasuke Uchiha as the base, while Matsuri utilized Moegi as her prototype.
Boruto continues by revealing that Jura, the leader of these cruel creatures, was not based on anyone. Rather,he is the incarnation of the Ten-Tails, a being who wishes to absorb knowledge and understand the world in which he awakened. He is pushing his comrades to obtain as much information as they can to fulfill his goals. This might also explain why he seems to be so much more powerful than his allies. It could also be the reason why none of the other Sentient God Trees goes against his orders.
Chapter 14 also contained the first appearance ofa new member of this ominous group, Ryu. This being was created after Shinki,the adoptive son of fan-favorite Gaara, was absorbed by a Claw Grime. The moment this being awakens, Jura calls him by his new name, despite this interaction being their first. The leader of the group having a direct connection with the Ten-Tails, as well as a possible link with all his comrades, could explain why he was aware of this fact seconds after Ryu’s birth.
The More Interesting Theories About Jura’s Identity Proved to be Wrong
Neither Kawaki Nor Jigen Participated in the Creation of This Villain
While an interesting origin for the series’ main villain, this reveal also seems slightly disappointing. For months, fans of theBoruto: Two Blue Vortexmanga hadtheorized about the individual whose energy gave life to Jura. Due to his looks and impressive abilities, many fans speculated that he could have been created by utilizing Jiren’s energy. Before being possessed by the cruel and neigh-unbeatable Isshiki, the leader of Kara was proven to have a deep connection with the Otsutsuki. Fans theorized that he could have imbued the Ten-Tails with his energy, giving life to the first Sentient God Tree.
Another popular hypothesis claimed thatJura had been created by using energy left behind by Kawaki. Both characters share many traits, like their facial features, interest in Naruto, and desire to kill Boruto. Their abilities are also alike, with both having enhanced senses, the ability to fly, and superhuman strength. Kawaki’s sudden urge toprotect Naruto and Hinata by trapping them in another dimensioncould have come from his connection to Jura. Nonetheless, all these theories have been proven wrong with the release of chapter 14.
Jura being the Ten-Tails himself was also among the possibilities fans predicted for the characters. Still, this theory was not as popular nor as exciting as others, as it was seen as too obvious and simple by most fans. Jura not being created with the life force of any major character does not take away from the impact his character has had and will have in the future. Nevertheless, giving him a more intriguing origin could have helped increase the tension and explain his fierce interest in Naruto.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’s story will continue developing with the release of future chapters.Jura’s origin will likely become more relevant in the future, which is why the creators of this beloved manga decided to follow this particular route. He is already one of the most unique villains and could become an iconic part of the franchise if he is given the correct treatment.
