Boruto Two Blue Vortex might only have 11 chapters but a major character, Inojin Yamanaka, has already had a close death encounter. There’s some ambiguity about the deathblow, though, making readers wonder if they really died in the manga.
Boruto Two Blue Vortex is the sequel to 2016’s Boruto: Naruto the Next Generations and follows the lives of the titular protagonist Boruto after he’s written out of people’s memories. It’s a direct continuation of, and picks up three years after, the events of the first part.
In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10, many shocking incidents happen. As Kurama comes back from the dead, going back on the series’ best moment, and explains his connection to Himawari, Sarada gets her moment to shine as she gets into a Chidori face-off against Hidari.
On the other hand, the new Team 10 tries to protect Himawari from Jura, leading to the heartbreaking possibility of Inojin dying. But does Inojin really die in the manga or is there any possibility of him surviving? Let’s find out.
Does Inojin die in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10?
Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 reveals Inojin is alive.
In Chapter 10, Jura is hellbent on eating Himawari to get the Bijuu chakra he senses inside her. As Inojin tries to protect Himawari from the God Tree incarnate, he is pierced through by a branch of the tree Jura summons.
It’s a grotesque scene where the artistic ninja is caught in the sharp branch and is bleeding. By the nature of the attack he receives, it’s clear that his vital organs have been wounded, leaving a very slim chance of him actually surviving this.

The chapter doesn’t show whether Inojin really dies as it ends before he loses consciousness. But we get the answer in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 where he’s revealed to be still alive.
Does Inojin survive in Boruto Two Blue Vortex?
Inojin survives Jura’s lethal blow in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11.
After Himawari enters her first Bijuu mode, she unlocks many of Kurama’s powers. This includes incredible regeneration power that can not only heal her but others, too. With that, she heals Inojin’s wounds enough to keep him from death’s door.
However, the youngest Uzumaki also reveals while the wound appears completely healed from the outside, it’s not fixed properly. Inojin still needs medical care to survive his injury. So, she asks Shikadai and Chocho to take him to the hospital while she fights Jura.
Thanks to Himawari’s ability, Inojin will survive to see another day. But he still hasn’t gotten his consciousness back yet. So, there’ll be a long time before he can fight again. For now, his survival is enough for us.
