When it comes to Boruto, the anime is on the up these days. The series has been plagued with mixed reviews over the last year thanks to its weak arcs. A few weeks back, things changed when fans were reintroduced to Urashiki Otsutsuki. The baddie prompted a huge time-travel arc that sent Boruto and Sasuke back into the past. And thanks to a new update, Boruto fans can check out a mysterious new baddie who will join the arc soon.
Not long ago, Weekly Shonen Jump dropped a new episode, and it was there fans got a little teaser. The magazine published a silhouette photo of a Boruto villain which fans had never seen before. The blacked-out image has kept the baddie's identity a secret, but a better scan of the villain has appeared.
So you better voice of your guess now! Who do you think this Boruto villain will wind up being?

As you can see above, the villain seems to have spiky hair that comes down to their nape. Some headgear is also seen in shadow here that goes with the figure's loose robes. The final detail to note comes with the villain's clawed hands as they look rather imposing.
Of course, fans have been quick to share their guesses about this figure, and they believe it is none other than Urashiki. The fighter is a member of the Otsutsuki clan, so it makes sense he'd have a transformation like Momoshiki. Now, fans are waiting to see if their prediction comes true before this Boruto arc end next month.
What are your thoughts on this villain's design? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
