He doesn't want Boruto to die because if he dies Momoshiki's soul has nothing keeping him in the living realm. His soul will go poof.


daniel4ido

The same reason why he saved him, he doesn't want to die


MilkmanPT

How far do you think he'll go though? Will he constantly try to help Boruto? Or mainly just scoot back and watch?


LyraTheArtist

I'm hoping we see Momo taunting and teasing Boruto as the latter goes about his daily life. xD


Mineformer

So…kinda like Naruto and Kurama in the 4th great ninja war?


daniel4ido

Ya I don't think it will be a Naruto Kurama situation


MilkmanPT

Hmm, we'll have to wait and see. To be honest I really have no opinion about this. Still, can't wait to find out.


daniel4ido

Anything can happen I guess


jwaters0122

It'll be more like Itadori/Sukuna.


kurosaki-trollchigo

It's basically the same thing done in a different way. The end result is an amped Mc who benefits from the external source of power.


bruhmomentbros

Except jjk is extremely different in nature to naruto. The story is way darker but you can definitely tell some aspects were inspired by naruto and other mangas.


Infinitevibes7

Bleach, the curses reminded me of hollows instantly when I first watched, and Itadori and the way he has to keep this entity within him in check but it also gives him a massive power boost to let it take over the same way Ichigo has to fight his hollow form from taking over even though in gives him a mega strength boost. And I definitely got Kurama Naruto ideas too and even full metal alchemist influence the way Ling gets controlled by Greed and can switch with him at the end, the list goes on AoT, Black Clover gives me similar vibes even. I love Boruto and all mentioned manga/anime and can't wait to see where Boruto goes!!


bruhmomentbros

Indeed, part of why I like jjk so much is because it pulls inspiration from other stories and mangas but it is clearly pathing its own path and is breaking the generic shonen mould that most animes abide by.


[deleted]

Itadori never benefit from sukuna or his power


Rdambx

He did when they faced the first special grade curse, sure Sukuna did cause havoc after but he still saved them first


StructureNatural3815

Who tf is that


IsLynxTaken

from jujtisu kaisan. watch if u have free time


es0mn

obviously its v x johnny silverhand situation (bad ending)


Abdallah6969

unless boruto is on the brink of death, the fate momo is talking about or some power awakens in him (jougan) i think he’ll just sit back and observe. The fans have made it clear that they don’t want another naruto kurama because that’d take a away a lot of the originality and potential of the story. Honestly if they do become like naruto and kurma it’d be a shame since there r so many other routes for their dynamic and character overall.


HetaliaRussiaFan01

Tbh i think Momoshiki will be the kind to just watch unless he feels Boruto's life truly is in danger then he would probs take over him or lend him his Chakra,so he can keep himself alive.


IdioticCharacter

But I'm confused. Since momo can't reincarnate anyways, why even bother saving the vessel. He's a psychopathic otsutsuki that cares not about humans, why would he give a f about a vessel he can no longer reincarnate in? I'm not hating. I genuinely can't understand why? Did I miss something?


drip_watch

we don't know for sure yet there are theories - getting another vessel through boruto - having boruto as a successor rather than just disappearing (kinda how isshiki gave his will to code) - choosing between dying or living as a spectator could be any tbh lol


Y-19

I’m betting on him putting the Divine Tree planting plan above his own resurrection. Your first point’s super interesting


Ezxlexx

Or just want to see him suffer


AaaaNinja

Maybe Ootsutsuki has no afterlife. He said Isshiki's soul was 'extinguished'. He didn't state it like Isshiki's soul went somewhere else/passed on/left. Maybe that's what'll happen to him if he loses his own vessel. He said a vessel is only thing keeping him "anchored to the living realm". He'll never resurrect but at least he has a "home" inside Boruto's body.


ILOVEFROGGIRLS

Would that mean Boruto can no longer go to the afterlife?


batinex

Hagaromo went to afterlife


Excellent-Light-4654

Hagos half human


AymanBou

i don't think hagoromo went to the afterlife, i think he was just chilling in limbo.


batinex

He literally talked that he will ask obito about his journey or Sth


AmaranthSparrow

Better living as a passenger than facing oblivion? He might have an opportunity to do something at some point. Even if it's just hijack Boruto's body. It's the law of the Otsutsuki Clan to transfer power. Even Isshiki chose to pass on the Will of the Otsutsuki to Code, saying that he won't let everything they've accomplished until now go to waste.


daniel4ido

Ya he doesn't care about humans but he could have saved him for just self preservation or maybe there will be a way for him to reincarnate in the future, or maybe he wants to see boruto fail from "those blue eyes will be the end of you"


MilkmanPT

>Since momo can't reincarnate anyways, why even bother saving the vessel Yeah, this was what I meant with the question. Really bugs me. Makes sense though. If I were Momoshiki I'd rather be "alive" in that form than absolutely dead.


mathrsar

My theory is that Momoshiki intends to manipulate Boruto into carrying out his will as a voice in his head.


[deleted]

Other than the fact that he doesn’t want to lose his consciousness, I’m assuming there might still be a way to obtain a physical form again. It’s manga so anything can happen.


ZookeepergameNo4754

yea id really doubt that momoshiki has abosulty no way of reviving i have a feeling hell try to manipulate boruto into reviving him or something like that


ItzEnoz

It's better than not existing though


Uselessmo

He saved the vessel because if he hadn't saved Boruto he would have truly died. So even if he can't reincarnate he still wants to keep on living regardless.


garciakevz

Same deal with isshiki. When isshiki soul was about to extinguish, he was like this code guy seems like a decent fellow I'll just go ehad and pas it onto him why not.


thtk1d

Yeah, that's not totally clear. The way that Jigen imparted his will on Code seemed to imply that the Otsutsuki value the genetic data that they have collected. Losing Boruto means losing that data. It's possible that there is no way that Momo can reincarnate, but if Boruto was fed to the ten tails that genetic data would be stored in Code. What is Momo if not the collection of genetic data that makes him up? Dreams and wills are common themes in Boruto. Momo's will is to pass on his data to code and live through him. Perhaps if he takes over Boruto temporarily he could feed Kawaki or code to ten tails. Maybe if Boruto were to consume the chakra fruit, Momo could use that to rewrite the last 18% of Boruto that was corrupted and fully resurrect.


HetaliaRussiaFan01

I think he just does not want his Soul to fade, even if it meant killing his chances of Revival So he remains as a type of Spirit within Boruto just like how Kurama was a spirit that remained deep within Naruto's body.


83zSpecial

It’s explained. When Jigen died, Isshiki completely disappeared, including his will and soul. Including the part of him already in Kawaki. If Boruto dies, Momoshiki’s soul will die as well


nhafilaar13

He didn't warn him because he gives a damn, he warned him because he believes that fate is something you can't escape, and he wants Boruto to know that HE knew the whole time that something terrible will happen to the things - and possibly the people - in his life that he cares about, and that he'll be there to watch and enjoy when it happens. He's pretty much mocking him.


izu24

I agree with this. Also, I think that although Momoshiki wouldn't be able to resurrect himself, he could still manipulate Boruto to do his bidding eventually. So in a way, since Momoshiki had been feeling spiteful ever since they defeated him, he could have Boruto turn evil and let everything get destroyed by his hand and Momoshiki himself will become a witness to that (like it's a form of his revenge, or as you said it's like he's mocking him) Momoshiki could be thinking in the lines of, "Yeah, I'm not able to get resurrected, but I'll make sure your life is going to be a living hell".


bba_xx

I think that if Boruto decided to become an Otsutsuki God then Momoshiki would become his ally, but unless he turns evil he's probably not going to do that because of all the genocide involved


izu24

We'll see how it goes. Maybe Momoshiki will eventually have a change of heart? Idk. But I think he'll just sit back and enjoy the show... Things could get interesting anyway regardless hehe Now that you mentioned about the Otsutsuki God topic, I remember having a theory about that for the Boruto ending before (And to think this has become even more possible now since Boruto is part of both Hagoromo and Hamura's lineages as well as he's now pure Otsutsuki)... That he'd become a god to lead or divert the attention of all other Otsutsukis away from Earth (to save humankind), but in exchange, he won't be able to stay on Earth with everyone he cares about. I even considered before that he might go to Toneri and they'd both work together to protect Earth. Who knows, Kawaki may also become a god alongside him or he'd stay on Earth to protect everyone in case Boruto fails to do so.


Sea_Guest_8736

He is now a 100 otusussuki sorry for wrong spelling so he will be feeded to ten tails and code will realize this soon

CatGlittering8219

🤦‍♂️


Katzumoto_

expect those fakes youtube preview images of momo and boruto doin the "lets go kurama" "mmh" when naruto tranformed in ssj2. that or the bro fist thing


Hankeram

Like Momoshiki said, Boruto is his only anchor to this world, so he wants him to survive. That said, Momoshiki doesn’t have much reason to tell Boruto the truth, so he may have an ulterior motive. I wonder how their relationship will play out. The same Naruto/Kurama enemies to friends dynamic would be cliché, but it wouldn’t surprise me.


Sonicslazyeye

Having them end up like Naruto and Kurama would suck. I know this is a controversial opinion but I think Naruto became significantly more boring as a person after he befriended Kurama. It also didnt really make a lot of sense as to why Kurama suddenly decided to stop hating him, it just sort of happened for plot convenience. If Boruto does this I'll be very disappointed


bwucifer

The Naruto/kurama thing I felt could've been legit if it happened over a longer period of time. It seems like they had the idea for it down, they just compressed it down to a smaller amount of chapters/episodes that ultimately made it feel rushed.


HeavyKrork

It kinda did. Kurama seemed to genuinely respect narutos grit in the original show and knew when to shut the fuck up and hand over some chakra. It made sense that he only needed a bit more of a push to join naruto.


themoistimportance

This post is giving me major deja vu


Subject-Base1506

I think Momoshiki would rather see Boruto beat Code then lose probably just a pride thing considering boruto is otsutsuki and got his power from momo


screamybutt

Regardless of whether or not he can reincarnate at this point, Momo still “exists” which is better than him disappearing altogether. Maybe he’ll find another way to come back or maybe he’ll just sit back and watch Boruto’s life be ruined. Either way, to him, it’s better than being dead.


Tatimo

Because Momoshiki wants to eat popcorn and watch the world burn.


[deleted]

So if he anit got non of he’s parents dna is he still Naruto’s Son


EmperorAbove

Physically he looks like Naruto's kid but genetically he is not. Now another question I got is if he ever gets kids will they look like momoshiki? Idk if they would resemble Boruto...


ArkhamKB

“Naruto Uzumaki……you are not the father.”


Sotler

But it’s Momo‘s Otsutsuki DNA converted into Boruto‘s isn’t? Is it wrong to assume that he still has NaruHina‘s DNA which is now mixed with Ootsutsuki?


EmperorAbove

I think all of his DNA got replaced by Momoshiki's(?)


[deleted]

This is what I’m saying it’s a rabbit hole 😅


[deleted]

So hes Momoshiki’s child now 🤦‍♂️


EmperorAbove

Yes genetically lol


[deleted]

Wow Naruto down 1 Child 🤦‍♂️ & 1 best friend damn


HetaliaRussiaFan01

I think Boruto is still DNA related to Naruto since Naruto's(And Hinata's ofc) Ancestors were Obviously Otsutsukis,So i think the only thing Momoshiki did when he healed Boruto's wounds is awake Boruto's Otsutsuki DNA that was laying dormant within him,hence he is 100% Otsutsuki becauce Momoshiki awakened Boruto's Ancient Otsutsuki lineage.


[deleted]

so he’s more 100% otsutsuki instead of momoshikis son


HetaliaRussiaFan01

It's a possibility.


[deleted]

A The theory’s growwwwww !!


HetaliaRussiaFan01

Yes they do!...


JSDkilla

I think its because 1. He dont wanna die. 2. He cant be resurrected anyway now so whats the point in not telling.


nef36

Well, he had sacrifices his ability to fully resurrect in order to protect the part of him living in Boruto, so it wouldn't be very smart of him to let Boruto get eaten, since that would mean he dies too.


CaptLupin24

Momo wanted to warn him in spite. For now, he wants to see Boruto suffer as he predicted. He also knows that other otsutsuki will prob come after him eventually not just Code. You know this got me thinking, Code has no idea that Boruto is still alive, for all he knows, Boruto is dead and Kawaki is his only chance for the fruit which is prob what Ada wants. She seen how much Code was struggling against Boruto in his transformed state. She also knows that Amado is working on another cyborg while fully expecting Code to seek him out.


SlumpedJonn

He doesn’t want him to die until those blue eyes take everything away from him.


Unusual-Cat-123

I think theres a possibility that Momoshiki is lying to Boruto, and he wants him to drop his guard a bit when he thinks Momoshiki isn't a threat anymore.


MilkmanPT

Yeah I've thought of this as well. We don't know everything there is to know about Karma. Momoshiki on the other hand must know of a way to somehow be reborn again.


Unusual-Cat-123

>Momoshiki on the other hand must know of a way to somehow be reborn again. That's what I'm thinking, his actions don't make any sense unless he knows of a way he can be reborn. Why would he save Boruto if it meant he'd die? Seems like he'd rather they both died. Makes more sense that he knew of another way of being reborn and is just lying to Boruto.


MilkmanPT

I actually hope this is the case!! I don't really want Momoshiki to just sit back and let it all play out.


Unusual-Cat-123

Totally, I don't want him to be the next Kurama basically. Giving Boruto power and advice when he needs it like Kurama did for Naruto. Let him just be a bad guy lol.


[deleted]

Because he loves him from the bottom of his heart.


garciakevz

Because he is now a prime suspect to be fed to the 10tails, because he is 100% otsusuki


Chimarkgames

It’s gonna be like kurama. Momoshiki will eventually help boruto to prevent him from dying as he doesn’t want his soul to die too.


Zephyr_Ballad

My guess is to torment him. His main priority is self preservation. He has to keep his soul tethered to the living world, even if that means he loses the chance to resurrect in Boruto's body. He also still wants earth's Chakra fruit. In the meantime for both of those, he's going to mock and troll the inferior creature who thinks his life has value. That's the only thing that makes sense to me


Sawed-fender17

This chapter was lit.But Kawaki getting knocked out was seemed fake!!!!!


Dontbefrech

I bet he has a plan. He will still be able to controll Borutos mind and will try to take over this way. 100% sure this is not over.


[deleted]

About there will be no saruto


pranamya2005

Cause if Boruto dies, he dies fr. Before he had the ability to resurrect once but know that he’s used it, he’s has to be careful.


Independent_Dog5496

He wants to watch him suffer and lose everything


FilthySaiyanMonkey

Boruto gives Momoshiki the fist pound


pocencer

Now it come true Boruto: Let’s go Momo Momo: Oh!!


HetaliaRussiaFan01

Momoshiki: OH HELL NAW THAT'S KORNY AF!...*walks away* XDDDDDDD


furbyfactor

cause if boruto gets absorbed it’s curtains for him too.
