Eida's overwhelming power of Omnipotence allows her to control the memories and feelings of others, but smart characters like Shikamaru and Amado can still recognize the truth, even when Eida's abilities seem overpowering. As Eida's power is constantly tested and challenged, the limitations and vulnerabilities of her abilities become a central focus of the narrative, generating intrigue and leading to the development of compelling side stories and subplots.
While Eida's power in Boruto has been established as the epitome of "broken," recent revelations suggest that she possesses limitations that could render her nearly unstoppable.
Despite Jigen's overwhelming concern for Eida's power and abilities, chapter #6 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex demonstrated that even those who fall victim to Eida can still recognize the truth, showcasing that her allure and seductive nature could be a deceptive facade.
In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #5, the creators revealed instances where Eida's grip on the minds of others seemed to be faltering. First, Amado, after discovering Abeki's data input on Kawaki's kama, believed that he was the sole perpetrator due to conflicting memories between his fabricated reality and Boruto's inscription. Second, Shikamaru, spurred by Amado's revelation, embarked on an investigation to uncover the truth behind Eida's control
In Chapter #6, this leads to his realization - despite being under Eida's Omnipotence power - that Boruto is Naruto's son and that his memories have also been tampered with. However, when Shikamaru concludes, there's an overwhelming cognitive dissonance between what his memories say and what reality shows. When Eida's powers fully manifested at the end of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, more than a few fans believed that they'd witness the most broken ability in the series, which can be detrimental to the development of a good story.
Power balance has been a persistent source of complaint among Boruto fans since its inception. However, the creators' recent actions suggest a deliberate attempt to address these concerns by setting limits on the most broken ability in the series. This has reignited narrative tension and revived the relevance of other side stories and subplots, strengthening the overall story and engaging the Boruto fanbase in a deeper way.
