What to expect in chapter 22?
Without diving too far into spoiler territory, Ch. 21 sent readers reeling in a real pulse-pounding cliffhanger that featured loaded character-driven motives and escalating combat. Boruto, now a more mature and hardened version of himself, is moving towards an eventual showdown with Code, the current main villain who still poses a huge threat to the shinobi world.
As Chapter 22 nears, here are some important storylines that have enraptured fans thus far.
Boruto vs Code Rematch— Anime Exclusive Clues indicate that we'll soon get to witness the long awaited rematch between Boruto and Code, with Boruto's new, time skip evolved powers on display.
The character of Sarada Uchiha quickly won over fans with her fiery determination and strong leadership ideals. Those two elements—or rather her rich dynamic with Boruto and her burgeoning Sharingan powers—are likely to be crucial to the arc's ultimate resolution in the chapters that follow.
The internal struggle of Kawaki, who is ready to go to the ends of the earth to defend Naruto, could go on a more sinister route. Chapter 22 might have provided a clue as to what his next move is going to be.
Return of Naruto?! Fans have long speculated some sort of indication at Naruto's return with a series of rumors circling the anime community. Though not officially verified, just the hint of Naruto would surely set the world ablaze.
The mood of Two Blue Vortex is still much more serious and somber than the original manga Boruto was: The opening arc of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations perfectly exemplifies this new approach to storytelling that resonates with established Naruto fans and newcomers alike.
The importance of this chapter
Chapter 22 is a watershed moment for the comic book series. With the story already building full steam ahead towards a climax between the new generation shinobi and the remnants of the Ōtsutsuki threat, every single chapter feels like it has some huge narrative stakes. The artistic quality has taken a huge leap forward under the new direction, with action panels hailed for their detail and clarity.
Even from a fan-engagement standpoint, this chapter is sure to light the fuse on THOUSANDS of conversations on various social media outlets like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and of course the communities on Discord. In fact, global search trends for 'Boruto Chapter 22 spoilers' and 'Boruto vs Code' have already shot up worldwide during the past week leading up to its release.
Whether you're a Naruto series old hand or a newcomer to the Boruto world, Chapter 22 of Two Blue Vortex is sure to be a dynamic chapter to the story.

David Beckham to receive knighthood in King Charles's birthday list
David Beckham is finally getting the honour many believed he should have received years ago. The former England captain will be knighted next week as part of King Charles III's birthday celebrations. He will officially become Sir David Beckham, while Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham. Beckham turned 50 last month and has long been linked with a knighthood. His contribution to English football, with 115 appearances for the national team and iconic moments like his free-kick against Greece, still fresh in many minds. But it is not just football that led to this honour. His charity work, especially with underprivileged children, and his strong relationship with King Charles have played a big part too. David Beckham and King Charles shared a moment at the Chelsea Flower Show The King and David Beckham's friendship appears to be going from strength to strength! HM asked whether DB had received his 50th birthday gift, much to David's delight. The Queen added: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' Beckham said it was 'incredible' gesture 👑 Last month, Beckham had a warm exchange with the King during the Chelsea Flower Show. Charles asked him, 'You got it, didn't you?' and Beckham replied, 'It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.' That moment now feels like a quiet confirmation of the honour to come. Beckham is also an ambassador for The King's Foundation. He supports programmes aimed at helping young people connect with nature, a cause close to his heart. In his Netflix documentary, he even spoke about beekeeping at his Cotswolds home. From football pitches to royal circles Sir David Beckham and Lady Beckham David has been awarded a Knighthood 🎖️ Beckham's journey has gone far beyond football. After his success with Manchester United, he played for Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and AC Milan before retiring. Off the pitch, he became a global icon and later co-owner of MLS club Inter Miami. Recently, he also joined a group aiming to take Salford City up the English football ladder. Back in 2003, Beckham received an OBE. In 2011, he was in line for a knighthood after helping with London's 2012 Olympics bid. But things were delayed after his name was caught up in a tax issue. He was cleared in 2021. Today, he is a long-time UNICEF ambassador and recently received the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award for his work in children's rights. During his speech in Davos, he spoke about creating equal chances for girls, including his daughter Harper. From football fame to royal honours, Beckham's story continues to grow. And with his knighthood finally arriving, fans across the world will no doubt be calling him Sir David Beckham with pride.

Netflix's Dept.Q is a masterful Scottish crime drama that rewards patience
Can you imagine Dr Gregory House as a detective? Well, you don't have to anymore, as another English actor, Matthew Goode, brings the same abrasive, difficult personality to DCI Carl Mork in Netflix's 'Dept. Q'.In Netflix's latest thriller series, 'Department Q' (stylised as 'Dept. Q'), Goode delivers a masterful performance, playing the Detective Chief Inspector as an uncompromising figure who makes no attempt to be likeable. He's angry, bitter, traumatised and emotionally closed performance is just one of the many things working in favour of this crime thriller. With 'Dept. Q', Netflix delivers a thoughtful, character-driven police procedural drama that respects both the audience's time and intelligence. Based on Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen's acclaimed book series and brought to life by Scott Frank (the mastermind behind 'The Queen's Gambit'), this nine-episode Scottish crime drama proves that sometimes the best stories unfold it is slow. With nine episodes, each around 50 minutes long, the audience needs to be patient with the series opens with a brutal ambush that sets the tone for everything that follows. DCI Carl Morck and his partner DI James Hardy (played by Jamie Sives) walk into what appears to be a routine call, only to find themselves targeted by a masked gunman. The incident leaves one officer dead, Hardy paralysed, and Morck physically and emotionally shattered. advertisementFour months later when he returns from the medical leave, the already caustic Morck finds himself relegated to a newly formed cold case unit - Department Q, which takes its name from the only remaining letter 'Q' from the shower quarters - housed in an abandoned basement bathroom complete with unused shower stalls and clearly a bureaucratic move to sideline him; but that is just part of the build-up. With each episode, a collection of 'misfits' join the team, transforming into something extraordinary as the series central mystery - the four-year-old disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie) - might seem like it will be stretched thin across nine episodes. But that's the ruse; it's actually the show's greatest strength. The slow, methodical approach is a simile of genuine police work. Unlike many crime dramas that rely on convenient breakthroughs, 'Dept. Q' commits to showing the actual work of an investigation: file reading, interviews, following up on leads - slowly connecting the audience knows from early on that Merritt is alive, trapped in a hyperbaric chamber by captors who won't release her until she figures out why she was taken. This parallel narrative adds psychological tension while avoiding cheap mystery tricks. And it keeps the storytelling subtly non-linear as well: the audience, like Merritt, can't understand the passage of time throughout her forced elevates 'Dept. Q' is also its commitment to authentic character development. Apart from Goode's masterful performance as the tetchy Carl Morck - there is no hidden teddy bear beneath his crusty exterior, and that honesty makes him compelling rather than frustrating - there are others who deliver their own stellar is Morck's growing partnership with Akram Salim (played by Alexej Manvelov), a Syrian refugee and former police officer now working in IT but wants something more to do. Akram is the perfect stoic counterbalance to Morck's volatility, while Manvelov brings quiet depth to the there is Leah Byrne, who shines as Rose - the young cadet with her own trauma trying to prove herself. Kelly Macdonald brings nuanced touches to Dr Rachel Irving, the therapist officially assigned to help Morck process his trauma. Kate Dickie provides pragmatic authority as their boss, while the ensemble of suspects and witnesses feels authentic rather than merely series uses Scottish locations to create a distinctly atmospheric backdrop. The grey-toned gothic police offices and cold coastal villages feel integral to the storytelling. There is a grounded approach to the direction that lets the drama emerge naturally from character interactions and plot Q' succeeds because it understands how to keep crime drama compelling. The writing is sharp and engaging, balancing dark themes with moments of genuine humour and series tackles issues of mental health among emergency responders like the police, and organisational politics, without becoming preachy. Instead, it focusses on how these systems affect real 'found family' that gradually forms within the basement office feels genuine, and the resolution of Merritt's case proves deeply satisfying because it's properly pacing will test viewers' patience, but those who invest in the slow burn will find themselves rewarded with a deeply satisfying 'bright' resolution, despite the grey, morose tones is 'competence porn' at its finest - watching intelligent, determined people solve problems through persistence and teamwork rather than genius-level deduction.'Dept. Q' stands out as one of Netflix's strongest crime offerings in years. It's a series that earns its emotional moments and plot revelations through careful character work and methodical Reel
