Naruto Cosplay Puts Cool New Spin on Momoshiki

Momoshiki might still be trapped in Boruto’s body in both the Shonen franchise’s anime and manga, but that isn’t stopping his shadow from looming large in the series. While Code has taken the reins of the Kara Organization, the Otsutsuki are still pulling the strings as the underling to Jigen is attempting to get revenge following his master’s death. Now, one cosplayer has perfectly given Momoshiki a gender swap using some spot-on cosplay for the most terrifying look that the villain has sported in the series to date.       

Momoshiki has effectively been Boruto Uzumaki’s version of the Nine-Tailed Fox, with the Otsutsuki member residing inside of his body and granting him more chakra but at a horrible cost. While Boruto has seemingly gained much more control over Momoshiki following the recent encounter with Code, in which the son of Naruto suffered a grievous wound that took his life, the alien ninja is still biding his time and remains a looming threat to the Hidden Leaf Village. In the latest chapter of Boruto’s manga, Konoha has received two surprising new allies as both Eida and Daemon, formerly the first and only members of Code’s Kara Organization, broke off from the villainous collective. While they might not be actively attempting to murder Boruto and Kawaki, these are two loose cannons that are going to need to be monitored closely as the Shonen series continues.

Boruto: Momoshiki Generations

Instagram Cosplayer Sassy Kat Cos took the opportunity to share this wild new cosplay that gives Momoshiki a brand new look, with the villain still causing problems in the Shonen series but certainly having some major power stripped away from him as a result of the manga’s events:

The anime adaptation has taken a step away from following the events of the manga series, focusing on events such as Boruto and company navigating their way through a war raging in the Land of Water along with Kawaki becoming a student at Ninja Academy. With the creators behind the anime series working on a new arc in the future, it might be some time before we see the anime once again adapt the story laid out on the printed page.
