Eida discovers her enchantment powers are ineffective against Sarada and Sumire, leading fans to speculate about the reason behind this anomaly. According to a popular theory, Eida's deep-seated desire for genuine friendship may explain why Sarada and Sumire are immune to her charms. Supporters of this theory highlight Eida's immaturity and lack of mastery over her abilities as factors that lend credibility to this idea.
A fresh Boruto fan theory proposes that Eida, driven by loneliness and a lack of companionship, may have inadvertently undermined her own powers.
Since arriving in Konoha Village, one of Boruto's biggest mysteries has been why Eida's enchantment abilities fail to affect Sarada and Sumire, who have no familial ties to her or the Otsutsuki Clan. However, a fan theory suggests an intriguing explanation for this anomaly, potentially altering the future paths of these characters significantly.
According to the theory shared by TikToker @fw.quan1x and subsequently discussed on Reddit's Boruto: Two Blue Vortex page by @Any_Cranberry_4599, understanding Eida's powers is crucial. Eida's abilities stem from Otsutsuki shinjutsu known as Omnipotence, described by Momoshiki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations #79 as a "programming language" to manifest desires into reality. Members of the Otsutsuki Clan purportedly used this power to create entire worlds from nothing.
For Eida, Omnipotence manifested primarily in two ways: first, it enabled her to compel almost anyone she encountered to fall in love with her, fulfilling her longing for affection. Second, it fulfilled Kawaki's desires, leading to significant events involving Boruto. Momoshiki cautioned that the Otsutsuki wielded Omnipotence cautiously, suggesting its effects were difficult to evade once activated.
The theory posits that Sarada and Sumire's immunity to Eida's charm isn't a flaw in her abilities but a deliberate exclusion. Beyond her desires for love and companionship with Kawaki, Eida harbored a deeper, subconscious wish for genuine friends who were impervious to her charm. While her first two desires were active and conscious, this third desire remained dormant, influencing outcomes without her awareness.
While some fans may be skeptical, the theory gains credence considering the circumstances of how Eida acquired Omnipotence. Given its rarity and potent nature, it's reasonable to infer that previous wielders were mature individuals with profound self-awareness and control over their powers—qualities Eida, as a teenager, lacks.
The theory suggests that granting a friendless teenager the power to unwittingly manifest desires could inadvertently create loopholes in their own abilities. This explains why Sarada and Sumire remain immune despite Eida's attempts to befriend them, as depicted in the manga. Moreover, once Omnipotence is activated, its outcomes are irreversible, ensuring Sarada and Sumire will never fall under Eida's charm.
This revelation could be pivotal in future developments, particularly regarding Kawaki's plans and the evolving dynamics between Sarada, Sumire, and Eida. However, many questions remain, such as why Sarada and Sumire were initially immune before any friendship attempts, and how their immunity extends beyond charm to affect significant events like the Boruto-Kawaki swap.
Nevertheless, the evolving relationships among these characters promise to be a crucial element in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, potentially shaping its narrative and consequences in unforeseen ways.
