Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Release Tracker
This is a living Boruto: Two Blue Vortex release tracker, updated as news drops: current status, the full announcement timeline, what the season will cover, English dub info and where to watch when it airs. Everything is sourced from official announcements and checked against two independent outlets — last verified June 12, 2026.
📅 Expected release
Our honest read: No date exists as of June 12, 2026, and the June 4 anniversary event conspicuously did not include one — so a 2026 premiere is looking tight. The May 9 trailer plus the year-long 10th-anniversary campaign suggest Pierrot is building toward a reveal; realistic window is late 2026 at the absolute earliest, with 2027 the safer bet. Treat any 'confirmed 2026' claims on social media as fan speculation.
🗞️ What we know — announcement timeline
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| March 26, 2023 | Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (Part 1) ended at episode 293 'Farewell', pausing the anime right before the manga's timeskip. |
| August 21, 2023 | Two Blue Vortex manga (the timeskip 'Part 2') began serialization, moving to monthly chapters in V Jump. |
| January 15, 2026 | Studio Pierrot president Michiyuki Honma confirmed the next Boruto anime abandons the weekly model — produced and released as regular seasons, leaving 'no room' for anime-original filler. |
| May 9, 2026 | On the manga's 10th anniversary, a commemorative trailer linking Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex was released, officially confirming the anime is in production — no release date. |
| June 4, 2026 | 10th-anniversary project day: retrospective video, ~600-page Story Guide, TBV volume 8, the first Two Blue Vortex figure and a mystery game tease — still no anime premiere date. |
📖 What it will cover
Adapts the Two Blue Vortex manga from chapter 1: a 3-year timeskip after Eida's Omnipotence swapped Boruto's and Kawaki's identities — a 16-year-old Boruto, trained by Sasuke, returns to a village that sees him as the enemy, while Code's Divine Tree beings threaten the world. Pierrot's seasonal format means a tight, manga-faithful adaptation with essentially no filler — a first for the Naruto franchise.
🔚 Where Part 1 ended
Episode 293 'Farewell' (March 2023), stopping exactly at the timeskip so Two Blue Vortex picks up cleanly. Check our Boruto filler list to catch up on Part 1 the fast way.
Keep reading: Two Blue Vortex manga: monthly in V Jump since August 2023, by Masashi Kishimoto (story) and Mikio Ikemoto (art). 34 chapters out as of June 12, 2026 (ch. 35 due June 18); volume 8 just released. Read officially on Manga Plus or Viz Media's Shonen Jump app.
🎙️ English dub
No dub announcement exists yet. Precedent is strong: all 293 Part 1 episodes received a Viz Media English dub, with Hulu as the dub home in the US. Expect a Viz-produced English dub to follow the sub with a delay, likely on Hulu first.
📺 Where to watch
- Crunchyroll (Part 1 sub home — posted the TBV trailer, near-certain simulcast pick-up)
- Hulu (Part 1 sub + dub in the US)
- No official simulcast announcement for TBV yet
❓ FAQ
Is the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex anime confirmed?
Yes — Studio Pierrot officially confirmed it is in production, underscored by a 10th-anniversary commemorative trailer on May 9, 2026. No premiere date has been announced as of June 12, 2026.
Will it be weekly like Naruto and Boruto Part 1?
No. Pierrot's president confirmed in January 2026 that it breaks franchise tradition: produced and aired as seasonal cours, not a continuous weekly run — which also means little to no filler.
What does the anime adapt?
The Two Blue Vortex manga from chapter 1: the post-timeskip story where 16-year-old Boruto returns from training with Sasuke to a village that, due to Eida's Omnipotence, believes Kawaki is the real Boruto.
How much manga is there to adapt?
34 monthly chapters as of June 12, 2026, with volume 8 out during the June 2026 anniversary campaign — roughly enough material for two seasonal cours.
Where did Part 1 leave off?
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations ended at episode 293, 'Farewell,' in March 2023, stopping exactly at the timeskip. Our Boruto filler list shows the fastest canon path through Part 1.
Will there be an English dub and where will it stream?
Nothing announced yet, but all 293 Part 1 episodes were dubbed by Viz, and Part 1 streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu — the same homes (and a dub) are widely expected for Two Blue Vortex.
