Code awakening his third eye could complete the iconic trio in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

The iconic karma trio of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex consists of Boruto, Kawaki, and Code, with the former two having true karma while the latter one having a fake white one. However, Code could be destined for greatness through a secret that the author has been keeping to himself since the character was introduced, and it has to do with Code's hidden forehead scar.

All of the karma wielders' eyes could be the parallels of Shibai Otsutsuki's eyes, which can be seen through his silhouette. However, Shibai Otsutsuki also had a third eye, the Rinne Sharingan, which none of the three have, at least not yet. Code's hidden forehead could hide an unawakened Rinne Sharingan, who would awaken when he consumed the chakra fruit.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex: Speculating Code's future as the inheritor of the Rinne Sharingan

Boruto Uzumaki, the series's main protagonist, gets karma after defeating Momoshiki Otsutsuki. The karma gives the protagonist Byakugan-like eyes, which is titled the Jougan. As of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 15, Momoshiki could be close to his rebirth as the protagonist's words hinted at a future of despair where the Otsutsuki could fully take over his body.

Kawaki is the series' deuteragonist who was intentionally given karma because Isshiki Otsutsuki feared his lifespan on Earth was negligible. After the death of Isshiki Otsutsuki, Kawaki retained his karma, which Amado modified. As of the latest chapter, Kawaki has more or less control over his karma. His karma gave him yellow-striped eyes titled the Kokugan.

Code is one of the main antagonists of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, who got his karma after the death of Isshiki. However, like the other two karma wielders, Code was a fake White karma because he wasn't compatible with the true form of karma. Just like Kawaki, Code also has control over his karma. Although he hasn't shown any doujutsu like Boruto and Kawaki, he might also have the Kokugan.

These two doujutsu (Jougan and Kokugan) could be the doujutsu used by the strongest Otsutsuki God, Shibai Otsutsuki, as hinted by his silhouette in the series. However, Shibai also possessed the Rinne Sharingan as his third eye on his forehead, which none of the three karma wielders have.

However, Code could be the one to awaken this doujutsu because he is hiding something behind his forehead from his first appearance. The thing behind his hidden forehead might just be a scar, but it has the potential to awaken as a Rinne Sharingan once Code eats the chakra fruit.

The same happened with Madara and Kaguya, as confirmed in the Naruto series, and presumably to Shibai Otsutsuki. This could be why Code was so desperate to attain the chakra fruit that he lost his arm during his negotiations with the Shinju.

Final thoughts

Currently, Code's potential as one of the final antagonists of the series is the weakest, making his chances of becoming a grand villain negligible. Moreover, another condition for the awakening of the Rinne Sharingan is to be the jinchuriki of the Ten-tails, a task for which the Code seems unfair currently. So, take this theory with a piece of salt and see how Code's power scaling goes in the series.
