Boruto has elicited mixed reactions from the fanbase of Naruto, yet Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is effectively enriching the franchise’s lore by unveiling exciting new techniques, with more anticipated in the future.
The Rasengan stands out as one of the most potent keitai henka techniques in the original series. In Two Blue Vortex, an evolved form known as Rasengan Uzuhiko makes its debut, enhancing the jutsu’s strength by utilizing “planetary chakra”. However, what distinguishes this new technique from its predecessor, and how was it developed?
How Does Rasengan Uzuhiko Differ from Rasengan?
The original Rasengan was created by Minato Namikaze to empower his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, who was the jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. Understanding the threats she faced on various missions, Minato aimed to develop a jutsu that could effectively utilize her extensive chakra reserves, drawing inspiration from the Tail Beast Ball.
Notably, Rasengan does not rely on hand seals; instead, the user concentrates chakra into their palm to form a sphere. This technique is incredibly powerful, capable of surpassing even the Chidori, and is recognized as one of the most advanced shape transformation techniques. However, mastering the Rasengan requires exceptional chakra control, making it a challenging endeavor.
In contrast, Rasengan Uzuhiko was innovated by Boruto Uzumaki. This advanced version incorporates not only Boruto’s personal chakra but also planetary chakra, significantly boosting its destructive potential.
What is “Planetary Chakra”?
Planetary chakra refers to the energy derived from a planet’s rotation, encompassing the centrifugal energy produced. The effectiveness of Rasengan Uzuhiko correlates with the amount of planetary chakra the user can summon, allowing for theoretically limitless power.
To tap into this energy, the user must maintain contact with the ground, which could limit their mobility during the jutsu’s preparation. While this positions the user disadvantageously, it does offer enhanced safety when coordinated with allies, as they can guard the user while charging this formidable attack.

Furthermore, the potency of this jutsu may diminish over time on planets with Divine Trees, as those Trees can gradually absorb the planet’s chakra, although this effect would likely be negligible within an average human lifespan.
Who is Capable of Using Rasengan Uzuhiko?
Boruto is the sole creator and current user of Rasengan Uzuhiko within the Two Blue Vortex narrative. Nonetheless, there exists the potential for other characters to master this jutsu in future chapters.
Imagining the scenario of simultaneous execution of this jutsu by multiple users is intriguing. For instance, Himawari might be able to harness a powerful Rasengan Uzuhiko if she inherits the role of the next jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. Additionally, characters possessing the Sharingan, such as Sarada Uchiha, could find themselves capable of replicating this technique as the story progresses.
