Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 2 - What Anime Fans Need to Know
Hey, fellow anime fans! If you’re as hyped as I am about Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 2, let’s dive into the latest scoop on what’s coming, when we might see it, and why every Naruto stan needs to be ready for this. As someone who’s been glued to the Hidden Leaf Village since Naruto’s ramen-slurping days, I’m buzzing to share what we know about Boruto’s next chapter. So, grab your headband, and let’s get into it!
The Big Question: When’s the Release Date?
Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room—when is Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 2 dropping? The anime wrapped up its first part with episode 293 back in March 2023, leaving us on a cliffhanger that still has me shook. Studio Pierrot, the legends behind the series, confirmed Part 2 is in the works, with a sneaky update on their website saying, “A second part has been confirmed.” No grand trailer or flashy announcement yet, but that’s enough to keep the hype train rolling!
As of May 2025, there’s no official release date, but the rumor mill is churning. Some sources speculated a late 2025 release, but that’s looking unlikely since we’re halfway through the year with no major updates. More recent chatter, including posts on X, points to 2026 or even 2027 as a safer bet, especially since Studio Pierrot is juggling other big projects like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. One X post suggested marketing might kick off this year, but production could start post-2026, aiming for a 2027–2028 air date.
Why the wait? Well, the Boruto manga, especially Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, is still dropping monthly chapters, and the anime needs enough source material to avoid filler overload (we’ve all suffered through those, right?). The manga’s Two Blue Vortex arc, which started in August 2023, is likely what Part 2 will adapt, and it’s packed with jaw-dropping moments we’ll get to in a sec. My guess? We might hear something concrete at Jump Festa 2025 (December 2025), so mark your calendars and keep your eyes on Studio Pierrot’s socials!
What Should You Know About Part 2?
So, what’s in store for Boruto and the gang? If you’re an anime-only fan, brace yourself—Part 2 is shaping up to be a game-changer. Here’s the lowdown on why you should be hyped and what to expect, without spoiling too much for those avoiding manga leaks:
The Two Blue Vortex Arc Is Coming
The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is the sequel to the original Boruto manga, kicking off after a three-year time skip. It’s darker, more intense, and gives major Naruto: Shippuden vibes. Part 2 of the anime will likely dive into this arc, focusing on an older Boruto facing new threats and some wild plot twists. Think epic battles, new jutsu (hello, Rasengan: Uzuhiko!), and a Konoha that’s not quite the peaceful village we know.
Boruto vs. Kawaki: The Showdown Looms
If you’ve seen the flash-forward in episode 1, you know Boruto opens with an older Boruto and Kawaki duking it out in a ruined Hidden Leaf Village. Part 2 is building toward that moment, and the manga’s already dropping hints about how we get there. Kawaki’s role gets super complex, and let’s just say Boruto’s not exactly Mr. Popular in Konoha anymore. No spoilers, but expect emotional gut-punches and some serious ninja action.
New Villains, New Stakes
Part 1 ended with the Code Invasion arc, introducing baddies like Eida and Daemon, who have powers that make even Naruto sweat. Part 2 will up the ante with new antagonists from the Two Blue Vortex arc, like Jura and Hidari, who bring a whole new level of chaos. If you thought the Kara Organization was tough, just wait—these guys are next-level.
A More Mature Vibe
Studio Pierrot has a chance to refine the anime’s pacing and animation for Part 2. Fans have been vocal about Part 1’s filler episodes (looking at you, Water Clan arc), and there’s hope Part 2 might go seasonal (13–16 episodes per cour) to keep things tight and manga-focused. The time skip also means older, more badass versions of Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki, and the rest of Team 7, so expect deeper character arcs and slicker fight choreography.
Catch Up on the Manga (Or Don’t!)
If you can’t wait for the anime, the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is available on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump app or Shueisha’s Manga Plus, with new chapters dropping around the 20th of each month. It’s already 14 chapters in as of May 2025, so there’s plenty to binge. But if you’re an anime purist, you can rewatch Part 1 on Crunchyroll, Hulu, or Netflix to refresh on the Code arc and that heartbreaking finale.
Why This Matters for Anime Lovers
As a Naruto fan, I know Boruto gets mixed vibes—some say it’s not as epic as the OG series, while others vibe with its fresh take on the ninja world. Part 2 is Boruto’s chance to shut the haters up. The Two Blue Vortex arc feels like Masashi Kishimoto (who’s now writing the manga himself) is cooking something special, blending nostalgia with a bold new direction. For anime lovers, this is a must-watch for the stunning visuals (Studio Pierrot’s fight scenes are chef’s kiss), the emotional stakes, and the chance to see the next generation carve their own legacy.
Plus, let’s be real—nothing beats the thrill of a new Naruto arc dropping. Whether you’re here for Boruto’s glow-up, Sarada’s Sharingan flex, or just to see Naruto and Sasuke being the GOATs they are, Part 2 is gonna hit like a Rasengan to the feels.
Where to Stay Updated

Final Thoughts
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 2 is coming, and it’s shaping up to be a love letter to Naruto fans and a bold step forward for Boruto’s story. We might be waiting until 2026 or beyond, but good things come to those who wait, right? In the meantime, hit up the manga, rewatch Part 1, or just vibe with the fandom on X or Reddit.
