This article contains spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga. If you’d like to experience the storyline fully, consider reading up to chapter 20 first.
How and When Did Sarada Obtain Her Mangekyou Sharingan?
Sarada’s journey to awakening her Mangekyou Sharingan is a poignant one. Unlike the assumption that she achieved this power during her confrontation with Ryu, the truth lies in the traumatic events that Uchiha clan members must endure to unlock this strength. When Sarada hears of Naruto, the beloved Seventh Hokage’s demise, and learns that her best friend Boruto is being wrongfully accused of murder, it sets the stage for her awakening. As she reaches out to her father for help for Boruto, she awakens her Mangekyou Sharingan for the first time in Boruto chapter 80, a moment confirmed by Sasuke through his emotional acknowledgment of her new eyes.
Sarada’s Reawakening of Mangekyou Sharingan: Ohirume in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
Fans have eagerly awaited the opportunity to see Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan in action, and that moment has officially arrived in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Team Konoha collaborates with Sunagakure’s ninjas to tackle formidable foes, Ryu and Matsuri. During this intense battle, when Ryu inflicts significant harm on one of her allies, Sarada taps into her Mangekyou Sharingan abilities once more in chapter 20. This activation serves as an essential turning point as she unleashes the power of her sun-patterned eyes.
Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan is named ‘Ohirume,’ paying homage to Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess. Continuing her family’s legacy, Sarada’s dojutsu could follow suit with the abilities held by her father Sasuke and uncle Itachi, both of whom also identified their powers with the revered name Amaterasu.
Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan Abilities
As Sarada journeys through the evolving narrative of Boruto, she receives a substantial boost by reactivating her Mangekyou Sharingan. After displaying her abilities for the second time in front of her father, fans are eager to uncover what else lies in her arsenal. Based on her battles with Ryu, new insights into her powers have been revealed through an official database. Here’s what we know:
Sarada: Mangekyou Sharingan Ohirume’s Gravity Ability
During fierce conflicts, Sarada shows remarkable strategy against Ryu and shocks her friends with her newfound strength. When the battle escalates, she summons her Mangekyou Sharingan to generate black spheres capable of drawing in Ryu’s Iron Sand into a void. The spheres, up to four in total, can vary in size from 5 cm to 250 cm, providing her with considerable control over the battlefield.
Beyond this, Sarada can manipulate gravity through these black spheres. This enormous power allows her to lift targets and create unexpected opportunities in combat. For example, in chapter 21, she manages to make Ryu levitate and is able to dismantle him with precision.
As she navigates her powers, Sarada’s spheres also permit her to fly if she synchronizes her movements correctly. This could mean she inherits a form of “Space-Time Ninjutsu,” akin to Obito’s famous Kamui technique.
Sarada Uchiha’s Second Mangekyou Sharingan Ability
In typical fashion, each Mangekyou Sharingan user wields a unique ability tied to their ocular powers. At the moment, we are only aware of one principal ability. However, it is highly speculated that Sarada could inherit the famed Amaterasu technique, renowned not only for its deadly black flames but also for its cultural significance linked to her namesake.
Weaknesses of Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan: Ohirume
Like every other Mangekyou Sharingan user, Sarada’s Ohirume abilities come at a cost. Constant use drains her chakra quickly, leaving her vulnerable after extensive battles. Additionally, if she pushes her eyes too far, she risks losing her sight, a common danger all Mangekyou Sharingan wielders face.
The evolving narrative promises even more revelations about Sarada’s powers in the future. Until then, what are your thoughts on her impressive new abilities? Feel free to share in the comments below.
