This article contains spoilers for theBoruto: Two Blue Vortexmanga.
A love triangle is brewing inBoruto: Two Blue VortexinvolvingSarada Uchiha, Boruto Uzumaki, and Sumire Kakei. Most fans are supporting the BoruSara ship, but others are also rooting for the class president. However, in recent chapters, Kishimoto is clearly setting up a new love interest for Boruto, which could turn the love triangle into a love quadrangle.
While Boruto remains in a tough spot inBoruto: Two Blue Vortexbecause of Jura and Kawaki, one woman is watching him closely, and it’s neither Sarada nor Sumire. She keeps her eyes on Boruto, following his actions and decisions anytime she wants. Instead of focusing on other urgent matters involving her original love interest, she’s more concerned about Boruto’s endeavors.
Boruto Is Gaining Eida’s Interest and Attention
Eida Is Pulling Away from Kawaki
As the plot unfolds inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex, Eida is pulling away from Kawaki little by little for different reasons. She’s clearly getting tired of Kawaki’s cowardice, his outbursts, his obsession with Naruto’s safety, and most especially his abuse. Her relationship with Kawaki is toxic and unhealthy, built on one-sided affection instead of genuine connection. In fact, she’s highly aware thatKawaki is only using her shinjutsufor his own gain, unable to return her feelings no matter what she does to please him.
On the contrary, Eida is clearly taking an interest in Boruto, especially now that he has drastically changed after the time skip. In the past, Eida refused to take Boruto seriously, seeing him as a boy rather than a mandue to their age difference. She was even willing to hand him over to Code just to fulfill her fantasy with Kawaki. In Eida’s eyes, Boruto was just an annoying brat and not a potential partner.
At this rate, Boruto will really be killed. I’m sorry, I can’t watch anymore.—Eida
However, things have changed, and so has Eida’s impression of Boruto. She’s now impressed with Boruto, particularly his level of maturity at his age, which Kawaki obviously lacks. In addition, she’s also concerned about Boruto’s well-being and curious as to what kind of person he has become after he went rogue. It’s also worth noting that Eida isn’t interested in causing trouble for Boruto now, which is the complete opposite of her former self.
Eida Can Become Boruto’s New Love Interest
Eida’s Growing Connection with Boruto
Since Eida’s ability to charm men of all ages became known inTwo Blue Vortex, Boruto is already established as a potential partner for her. Apart from Kawaki, Boruto is the perfect candidate who could become Eida’s genuine romantic partner in the future. If she wants to experience true love, her only hope is to end up with Kawaki or Boruto, sinceboth are immune to her charm. Hence, it will not be a surprise if, at some point, Eida can truly become Boruto’s new love interest.

Going back, the only reason Eida rejected Boruto was because of his age. While she found him cute and charming, their age difference was a sure deal-breaker. This was the reason why she pursued Kawaki over Boruto, although there are some fans who believe that looks also came into the equation. Regardless, Boruto’s drastic glow-up internally and externally is growing on Eida.
Can Eida Steal Boruto from Sarada?
It’s Too Early to Tell
WhileSarada holds the advantage in Boruto’s heart, Sumire and Eida still have a fighting chance to own his love and affection. However, in Eida’s case, it’s too early to tell, as she, herself, refuses to act on it. After all, she remains in love with the concept of love, refusing to let go of her fantasies with Kawaki in theBorutomanga.
Still, Eida can change her mind somewhere down the line, considering the amount of attention and interest she gives to Boruto at the moment. If she let Kawaki go, she might truly come after Boruto, disregardingSarada and Sumire’s feelingsin the process. With Boruto completely clueless about the feelings of his love interests, his final girl in the manga might not be who fans are anticipating.
