Fans Have Spoken: Boruto’s Endgame Love Interest Isn’t Sumire or Eida

Spoiler alert: this digs into Boruto manga beats.

Fandom question of the week: who does Boruto actually end up with? The debate is somehow louder than the ongoing grumble about JC Staff supposedly mangling One Punch Man Season 3. Reddit has been chanting one answer on a loop:

"It is Sarada. It has to be Sarada. It better be Sarada."

So is that just wishful yelling, or does the story actually point that way? Short version: the text keeps nudging in one direction, while a couple of wild cards keep things interesting.

Why the Sarada momentum is real

Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha have had future-partner energy since episode 1 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The show practically underlined it the moment Boruto told her he would back her dream to become Hokage. It flips the old Naruto formula in a clean way: she wants the hat; he wants to stand with the person wearing it.

They train together, bicker like a couple that already knows each other too well, jump in front of attacks for each other, and get a little shy when the room gets quiet. Not overstated, just consistent. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex then cranks the emotional dial even more: after Eida uses her Omnipotence ability to rewrite reality so the world sees Boruto as the villain, Sarada is one of the very few who still remembers him correctly. If that is not long-term-bond coding, I do not know what is.

The contenders (and what the story is actually doing)

• Sarada: Topping fan polls and getting the most narrative oxygen. Her connection to Boruto is built on teamwork, shared trauma, and trust, not mind magic or manipulation. She is also positioned as the moral and strategic counterweight he needs. The story keeps circling back to the two of them.
• Sumire: She actually confessed to Boruto and, like Sarada, remembers the pre-Omnipotence timeline. For a while, fans pegged this as a potential Naruto-Hinata 2.0 path. But the manga shifted her into scientific ops, support missions, and Eida-adjacent drama, while the Boruto-Sarada dynamic kept developing. She feels more like the important childhood-crush-turned-ally right now than endgame.
• Eida: The wild card. Immensely powerful, narratively spicy, and a chaos engine. But she is not set up as Boruto's long-term anything. Her fixation is on Kawaki, her godlike power literally turns the world against Boruto, and she functions more as a plot catalyst than a romance endpoint.

The bigger pattern: Uzumaki + Uchiha, remixed

Sarada is not just winning popularity votes; she is winning placement. Her arc blends Naruto's idealism with Sasuke's restraint, and her dynamic with Boruto feels like a fresh mash-up of Naruto-Sakura's steady support and Naruto-Sasuke's push-pull, without copying either. Also, Boruto's generation is not exactly overflowing with standout female characters, so when the story invests, it shows.

So, who does Boruto end up with?

Officially, nothing is confirmed. But unless Kishimoto swerves hard at the buzzer, all signs point to Boruto x Sarada as the likeliest destination. You can root for monk-mode Boruto if you want, but the current fan verdict is loud and weirdly unified: "It is Sarada."
