Warning: This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapters 70 and 71.
Now that the latest chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is out, fans get to see a brand new full colored look at Code's new form. The new look was featured in the cover of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 71, titled Hindrance, which sees Code's attempts to kill the former Kara scientist, Amado after he removed Code's limiters in the end of Chapter 70.
Shonen Jump has shared the new image of Code's new transformation that not only makes the villain feel like he "can defeat any opponent" but also changes his hair color in the style of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series.
Despite the major power-up, Code still gets his ass kicked by Daemon after Eida calls his little brother to dispose of him after trying to kill Amado. It looks like the series hasn't revealed the full potential of Code's new transformation as he never gets a chance to dominate the fight against Daemon. However, thanks to Bug, Code learns the weakness of Daemon's reflection ability. Even with this knowledge, Daemon's incredible combat ability makes him the dominant fighter, punishing Code hard.
Eida and Daemon's opposition to get Amado killed forces Code to teleport away with Bug, and the end of Chapter 71 clearly shows the villain's anger and envy. It's likely that we will see him unleash his full potential in future battles against the ninjas of Konoha soon enough, but fans will have to wait a bit longer.
