Why does Boruto's dialogues from the opening scene make sense after the reveal in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 13?

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 13 made the shocking reveal of Kashin Koji's jutsu technique titled the 'Ten Directions.' This technique allowed Kashin to witness all the possible futures of a situation and deduct the best one.

This technique awakened when he was nearing death and was part of the arsenal of techniques Shibai Otsutsuki possessed. It also confirmed the existence of multiverses in the series as Kashin Koji's abilities showcased a few other timelines where the protagonist had died alongside his father.

All of these timelines were triggered by the death of Kawaki, which led to the protagonist claiming that he would prevent the trigger from happening in the future.

While this changed the whole perspective of the series on its own, it also made a few encounters from the past understandable. The spotlight is on the infamous opening scene from the series, where the protagonist and Kawaki clash over a destroyed Hidden Leaf Village.

Everything that the protagonist says to Kawaki indicates that he could have Kashin Koji's future sight in mind. Boruto said that he wasn't expecting Kawaki to continue fighting. It could mean that in one of the timelines, Boruto saw himself beating Kawaki at some point before the opening scene.

Moreover, the dialogue that made sense after the revelation was when Boruto questioned Kawaki whether this was the only possible outcome of their fates. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 13, Boruto admitted how he would knock some sense into his brother, Kawaki, and bring back the Uzumaki family to how he was.

His dialogue in the opening scene of the series gives it a new meaning as he expresses his sorrow over how he couldn't prevent any timeline where he and Kawaki came to terms. Moreover, he had to exchange fists with his brother because he couldn't bring his family back together.

Final thoughts

The introduction of multiverses in the series could be the rising point that would either make or break the series, depending on how Kishimoto and Ikemoto execute the storyline afterward.

If they make the series entirely centered around the multiverses and make it too complicated, it could impact adversely. Therefore, a measured approach to the multiverse concept could positively affect the series' reputation and popularity.
