‘Boruto’ chapter 46: Jigen unmasks Kashin Koji revealing his identity

The “Boruto” chapter 46 release date will finally arrive next week. But for fans who just can’t wait, here are the recent exciting speculations floating, which includes the possibility that the real identity of the mysterious Kashin Koji might be finally unveiled.

The high-level fight between Jigen and Kashin Koji is expected to continue in “Boruto” chapter 46. With Jigen only at 10 percent of his chakra, Koji will not let the opportunity to take down the Kara leader go to waste.

Some fans believe that Koji will have the upper hand in the upcoming fight. After all, he is still at 100 percent of his chakra level while his opponent is already exhausted due to his recent fight against Naruto and Sasuke.

Some fans, however, believe that Jigen will eventually come out as the victor. After all, Jigen is the vessel of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki so his ability, especially when Isshiki’s direct interference, can never be underestimated.

This can be seen with how Boruto defeated Boro in a previous “Boruto” manga chapter. At that time, Boruto barely had any chakra left but Momoshiki was able to easily defeat Boro when he briefly took over Boruto’s body.

A similar situation could happen in the fight between Jigen and Kashin Koji in “Boruto” 46. While the Kara leader might be low on chakra, Isshiki could take over Jigen - just like what Momoshiki did with Boruto - to ensure that his vessel is safe.

Of course, this does not necessarily mean that Koji will die. In fact, there’s a good chance that he will survive thanks to preparations made beforehand. Both he and Amado already know just how powerful Jigen is, especially with the interference of Isshiki, so it’s not impossible for them to implant a few life-saving measures in Koji’s body for such a scenario.

But what fans got excited is the possibility that Jigen might unintentionally reveal his opponent’s real identity. YouTuber Lord7th speculated that the Kara leader might break Koji’s mask during their fight. Since the fight is being transmitted live, Naruto, Sasuke, and the rest watching from Konoha will finally see just who Koji is.

There have been many theories about Koji’s identity. Due to his ability to use many of Jiraiya’s jutsus there are speculations that he might be a reincarnation of the Sannin.

In addition, there are also theories that he might be an artificially created cyborg due to his statement. “From the very beginning, I was created to kill you,” he told Jigen in “Boruto” chapter 45, which can be read on Mangaplus.

Fortunately, the truth will soon be revealed. “Boruto” chapter 46 will be released on May 20.
