Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 is set to be released on Friday, June 21, 2024. Hence, a week before the manga chapter's release, the series released a preview sneak peek for the same. This preview sneak peek saw fans catch a glimpse of the fight between Himawari Uzumaki and God Tree Jura as the two fighters charged up their Bijuu bombs against each other.

However, not many fans were in favor of this as Himawari using a Bijuu bomb this early in the story seemed like a disgrace to Naruto for them. However, as evident from the previous chapter, manga creator Masashi Kishimoto had already explained why Himawari pulling off the feat wasn't surprising.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11: Why is Himawari performing the Bijuu bomb not really surprising?

Himawari Uzumaki using the Bijuu bomb in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 isn't surprising because her status as a jinchuriki is completely different than her father Naruto's situation with Kurama.

When Naruto Uzumaki was the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast, he had to defeat Kurama in a battle and extract his chakra to use the Bijuu bomb. Kurama was actively trying to gatekeep his chakra away from his host, causing Naruto to forcefully try and take it from the tailed beast. Meanwhile, as seen in the previous chapter, Kurama is now very much willing to share his chakra with his new host Himawari Uzumaki.

The previous manga chapter even saw Kurama stating that he and Himawari were now one body and soul. That should be enough reason for fans not to question Himawari's usage of the Bijuu Bomb.

This may lead fans to argue that Himawari had it far easier than Naruto when it came to using the tailed beast chakra and that it isn't fair. But in reality, Naruto Uzumaki himself was why Kurama was so willing to work with Himawari. Kurama was previously a tailed beast filled with hatred. But after becoming friends with Naruto, he was more than willing to share his chakra to safeguard people close to his vessel.

Moreover, the manga's previous chapter saw Kurama explaining how Himawari had more affinity with him than any of her predecessors, even her father Naruto. With that, one can say with certainty that manga creator Masashi Kishimoto had already explained why Himawari using Kurama's powers easily made sense.

Additionally, unlike the situation with Naruto which saw the Jinchuriki try and figure out what he needed to do by himself, Himawari has Kurama to direct her on how to use his chakra. This must mean that Kurama must have instructed Himawari Uzumaki on how to use the Bijuu Bomb making her learning curve even more easy to climb. This is why Himawari Uzumaki using the Bijuu Bomb in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 isn't surprising at all.
