Did You Know?
- Code's Claw Mark clones can be reanimated even after being destroyed, making them nearly impossible to permanently eliminate without destroying Code himself.
- The arc introduces Delta, a clone created from Isshiki Otsutsuki's cells, who possesses the same destructive power as his creator but lacks his strategic mind.
- Kawaki's alliance with Code is driven by his fear of losing Boruto and his desire to protect Konoha at any cost, even if it means becoming a villain.
