The best quotes in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex will become more numerous as the series enthralls readers.

10 "Could This Be the Thing...Known as Aesthetics?"

Jūra, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #10

Jūra's remark is perfectly timed, a diabolical yet darkly playful taunt preceded by glimpses of a trapped Himawari and a grievously injured Inojin in a moment of pure, darkly wry wit.

Jūra made a quick impression as the new big villain in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex with some elegantly cruel remarks. This particular one comes after incapacitating Himawari while impaling Inojin in the fight against Team 10, causing a significant shock for his opponents. Jūra's remark is perfectly timed, a diabolical yet darkly playful taunt preceded by glimpses of a trapped Himawari and a grievously injured Inojin in a moment of pure, darkly wry wit. This moment has the bonus effect of setting off Himawari as she flew into a white-hot rage.

9 "This Is None Other Than My Story!"

Boruto Uzumaki, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #1

Although the comparisons to the original are inevitable, Boruto is growing increasingly different from Naruto as a protagonist, especially with the plot of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex in mind.

The most crucial step Boruto takes when trying to appeal to longtime fans and new readers is a hook persuasive enough to set itself apart from Naruto, and the first chapter's quote does a pretty good job with this. From the prologue, in the beginning, showcasing a post-timeskip Boruto fighting Kawaki atop Konoha's ruins, to the final panels depicting a plucky Boruto wishing to be taken under Sasuke's wing, it's certainly not the same path Naruto took. But finally, with contemporary manga like Black Clover being compared to Naruto, it's important to introduce a different yet endearing protagonist.

8 "You Better Study Hard or You'll End Up Like Me."

Naruto Uzumaki, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode #196

Naruto stayed a genin through the events of the original series, performed poorly at the academy, but still managed to become the village's hero, develop his immense power, and become Hokage.

This quote is amusing for its immense irony, as its meaning boils down to him complaining about working from home without assistance, such as from Shikamaru, making him seem hopeless with administrative tasks. In this scene, in a silly anime-canon interaction between him and Kawaki, Naruto embodies the Peter Principle of rising to his level of incompetence. After all, Naruto stayed a genin through the events of the original series, performed poorly at the academy, but still managed to become the village's hero, develop his immense power, and become Hokage. Where did studying factor in?

7 "The Cold Stares Directed At Me Were More Painful Than Any Amount Of Training."

Naruto Uzumaki, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode #193

Naruto talks about how, if he couldn't surround himself with supporting friends, he might have crossed a point of no return and truly lost himself to the dangerous power for which people feared him.

For anime-only viewers, this scene is a special example of Boruto's dynamic with his father and Naruto's sympathetic stance toward Kawaki. Given what's known about Kawaki's past, with some of Boruto's best episodes revolving around his fraught position in the overall plot and how he fell in with Kara, it's easy to see that Naruto understands the boy's outcast status. Naruto talks about how, if he couldn't surround himself with supporting friends, he might have crossed a point of no return and lost himself to the dangerous power for which people feared him.

6 "Those Blue Eyes Will One Day Take Everything from You."

Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #10

Fans love to pick apart Momoshiki's quote, as it clearly has long-lasting implications hanging over Boruto's plot.

Momoshiki's words are as fascinating as they are ominous, as people have continued to examine what this could mean. Boruto's blue eyes are the same as his father's. Still, the translation crucially leaves out personal pronouns, indicating it could be another person's eyes entirely, with speculation including Eida due to her omnipotence ability, setting the stage for Two Blue Vortex. It's a fantastic Boruto quote due to its diverse, lore-specific interpretations, alongside the question of when the true moment will strike or whether it's already happened.

5 "You Need to Know About the Naruto Who Made It This Far."

Sasuke Uchiha, Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Listen, he was full of weaknesses. He was a good-for-nothing. You don't need to understand who Naruto is now. You need to know about the Naruto who made it this far. -Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke's bond with Naruto has matured over the many years they've known each other, to the point where Sasuke can make succinct statements acknowledging his former teammate and rival, while respecting how much he worked to achieve what he did. This is why Boruto's question about his weaknesses falls flat; Naruto was all too aware of his shortcomings, often ostracized or penalized for them as a kid. It's a good Boruto quote preaching empathy and showing how Sasuke, a formerly hateful village traitor would go on to praise and acknowledge its greatest hero.

4 "The Age of Shinobi...Shall End."

Kawaki, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #1

It's an instance of the series trying to shake up the Naruto formula, and is a lastingly popular quote attributed to Kawaki and the series' writer at the time, Ukyō Kodachi.

Plenty of appealing quotes appear in Boruto's first chapter, but the chilling world rendered in the flash-forward indicates a bold claim that longtime Naruto fans might find challenging to embrace. It's an instance of the series trying to shake up the Naruto formula, and is a lastingly popular quote attributed to Kawaki and the series' writer at the time, Ukyō Kodachi. Whether this rings true remains to be seen, especially as Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has done well to re-establish the prominence of ninjutsu users against the Otsutsuki, Code, and the Ten-Tails threat.

3 "What's Most Important Is Accepting the Circumstances and Moving Forward."

Kurama, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #10

This quote is delivered by Kurama despite his original death in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, rekindling fan excitement over how jinchuriki will still factor into the new story.

Kurama's return in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is a sight for sore eyes, especially in Himawari's case when the urgent need to rescue Inojin kicks in. Still, this introduction of the Nine-Tailed Fox to a new jinchuriki plays out far more differently than for Himawari's father, as Kurama shows maturity and wisdom while reflecting on Naruto's experiences as shown in this quote. Himawari's shock is quickly assuaged when she realizes the two can work together to take on the God Trees threatening her friends.

2 "Why Don't You Do One Good Thing for the World Instead of Wasting Your Life?"

Boruto Uzumaki, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #2

Boruto's new confidence and clear influence from Sasuke shines in his confrontation with Code.

Boruto is frighteningly edgy in the new manga. Still, his quotes are nothing short of peak shonen hype, as he delivers a combination of Sasuke's brutal wits with Naruto's prevailing kindness, but with some spice. This results in strangely beautiful advice for Code, which could just as easily be taken out of context as a quote a more optimistic Naruto would say. Instead, it's the same cocksure delivery as Sasuke's, confident he can kill his opponent with ease, and that instead of such a trivial death, Code could simply lead Boruto to the Ten-Tails, and its delivery is profoundly ice-cold.

1 "Even if Times Change, the Soul of a Shinobi Remains the Same."

Sasuke Uchiha, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #1

As the series continues, especially in Two Blue Vortex, it shows that in the face of omnipotent cyborgs and sentient alien chakra trees, the shinobi of Boruto are at their strongest when they dig deep for their individual and unique strengths.

This quote seems to ring truer several dozen chapters after it's first spoken by Sasuke while discussing Boruto's qualities with Naruto. The protagonist spends the story's beginning resenting his father, committing risky rebellions like cheating in the Chunin Exams, and contracting Otsutsuki traits after confronting Momoshiki. Yet, as the series continues, especially in Two Blue Vortex, it shows that in the face of omnipotent cyborgs and sentient alien chakra trees, the shinobi of Boruto are at their strongest when they dig deep for their individual and unique strengths.
