Eida’s Omnipotence in Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Explained
Eida, the mysterious and dazzling cyborg introduced in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, quickly became one of the most controversial and intriguing characters in the franchise. Her ability, Omnipotence, is as confusing as it is game-breaking. So let’s break it all down—what it is, how it works, and what it means for Boruto and the shinobi world.
What is Omnipotence?
According to Daemon in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3, Omnipotence is:
Daemon: A Shinjutsu that makes one’s desires reality. In short—it’s like a universal law rewriting ability. She doesn’t even need to be aware of it.
In other words, Omnipotence is not a genjutsu, jutsu, or even reality manipulation in the traditional sense. It’s a divine ability that transforms a user’s inner desires into actual universal truths, restructuring memories, relationships, and even reality itself.
Eida’s Unconscious Wish
Here’s the kicker—Eida didn’t even activate it on purpose.
In Boruto Chapter 80, Kawaki pleads with Eida to help him protect Naruto:
Kawaki: Switch my place with Boruto’s…! I’ll take all the blame. Just make it happen.
This desperate plea triggered Eida’s Omnipotence, flipping reality. Suddenly, Boruto was seen as the criminal who killed Naruto, and Kawaki was viewed as Naruto’s “TRUE" son. Even Eida was stunned by what happened:
Eida: This wasn’t me…! I didn’t do this on purpose!
This scene proves that Omnipotence is subconscious even involuntary. It doesn't require hand seals, chakra concentration, or activation—it just rewrites the world according to an inner wish.
Not Just Memory Manipulation
A common misconception is that Omnipotence only manipulates memories. But Sarada, Sumire, and eventually Mitsuki all prove otherwise. They remember the original timeline despite the global shift. Why? Because they’re immune to Eida’s charm—another one of her abilities.

This is bigger than genjutsu. Even Sasuke, one of the greatest genjutsu detectors, fell for it:
Sasuke (Chapter 81): I have no idea why… but I believe in you, Boruto.
That single line shows the power of both Omnipotence and Boruto’s bond with Sasuke—strong enough to resist a divine rewrite.
Why Is Eida’s Power So Broken?
Eida’s ability comes from Shibai Ōtsutsuki, a godlike being who ascended by consuming multiple Chakra Fruits. His powers transcended traditional ninjutsu, leading to Shinjutsu—godly techniques that operate like universal programming.
Omnipotence is one such Shinjutsu. The reason Eida has it is because Amado implanted Shibai’s DNA into her during her cyborg construction.
But this also makes her a victim of her own power.
Eida (Chapter 81): I can’t control it! I just wanted Kawaki to be happy!
Her wish to help Kawaki led to the global downfall of Boruto—and she can’t undo it. That’s the tragedy of Eida. She's a god with the emotional maturity of a teenager and the burden of powers she can’t even manage.
Love or Control?
Another layer of Eida’s Omnipotence is its charm effect. Anyone who meets her falls in love with her—instantly and obsessively. But this isn't part of Omnipotence; it's another ability granted by her modified DNA.
Daemon explains:
Even her charm ability—people don’t love her, they’re just forced to.
This devastates Eida. She longs for real connection but is constantly surrounded by artificial affection. Only Kawaki and Boruto are immune, and their rejection hurts her more than any villain’s punch.
What Happens Next?
Now in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, we see the long-term effects of Omnipotence play out. Boruto is on the run, branded a traitor. Kawaki lives in Konoha as the supposed hero-son of Naruto. Eida watches from the sidelines—regretful, passive, and arguably the most powerful being alive, yet unable to fix her mistake.
And that’s the brilliance of her character: power without control, love without choice, and a desire that reshaped the shinobi world.
Final Thoughts
Eida’s Omnipotence is a perfect metaphor for unchecked power and emotional vulnerability. In a world of chakra, jutsu, and strategy, her ability rewrote the very rules of existence—by accident.
She’s not your typical villain. She’s a divine bystander, burdened with a god's gift she never asked for. And in a manga where power usually comes with discipline and training, Eida stands out as a symbol of how dangerous raw, emotional power can truly be.
