Boruto's quick defeat of Code establishes him as incredibly powerful, with few able to match his strength, so he needs a truly threatening villain. Daemon has shown unprecedented levels of power, with his immense strength, speed, and ability to redirect attacks making him a formidable opponent who surpasses Ishikki and Naruto. Daemon's recognition and understanding of Boruto's Uzuhiko technique highlights his power and sets the stage for him to take over as the main antagonist now that Code is no longer a threat.

The latest chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex teased who could be the series' next big villain, and it's not a character that fans were expecting to step up to that role so soon. After witnessing just how powerful Boruto is now, neither Code nor Kawaki seem able to match his strength. However, Daemon has proved to possess unprecedented levels of strength, and he could be just the opponent that Boruto needs.
