It has been quite some time since Code appeared in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga. The last time fans saw him, he tricked the protagonist and escaped from his hideout to get away from the God Trees.

This development left fans infuriated as the protagonist had already trapped the White Karma user using his Rasengan Uzuhuko. The only reason he left him was in hopes of receiving some help fighting the God Trees.

However, the latest updates from the manga suggest that Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko was not only capable of making its target lose their sense of balance but also erase them from existence.

As fans might remember from the manga's third chapter, the protagonist's Rasengan Uzuhiko caused Code to lose all sense of balance and fall. No matter how many times he tried getting back up, he could not and landed back on the ground.

As explained earlier by the franchise's website and the protagonist in chapter 12, Rasengan Uzuhiko made use of a planet's centrifugal force caused due to its rotation and orbit. Hence, when Code was hit with the attack, fans were led to believe that the attack was only capable of debilitating an opponent, leaving them in a vulnerable spot.

Such pieces of evidence saw fans believe that Rasengan Uzuhiko was a jutsu only meant to make one's opponent immobile and kill them slowly rather than an instant kill attack. However, all such theories were made irrelevant with the developments in chapter 12.

As seen in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 12, Rasengan Uzuhiko was more dangerous than what fans previously believed. In the chapter, the protagonist and Sarada were faced up against God Tree Hidari.

While they were able to deal significant damage to the God Tree, Hidari had the means to heal himself back at his hideout. Hence, he kept moving back and forth between his hideout and the battlefield through his Claw Marks' teleportation ability.

Given the situation, it was very clear that Boruto and Sarada needed to kill the God Tree with a single attack. Sarada Uchiha suggested to the protagonist that he use his Rasengan on Hidari, but the protagonist had a better plan in mind.

Boruto intended to use his Rasengan Uzuhiko at its maximum output against the God Tree. Soon after, the protagonist was presented with the opportunity to hit Hidari with the attack. Unfortunately, the attack wasn't fully charged.

Nevertheless, the incomplete Rasengan Uzuhiko ended up being a devastating attack that erased most of Hidari's body. The sheer fact that Boruto was able to erase most of Hidari's body with an incomplete Rasengan Uzuhiko was proof that the protagonist could have defeated Code at any moment.

This is because Code was much weaker than all God Trees. Moreover, he was a human. Hence, being hit with an attack capable of destroying a good portion of his body would have spelled his doom.
