A fan theory published on Reddit by user WashedUpFratStar5 suggests that Amado Sanzu could resort to extreme measures to guarantee the resurrection of his daughter, Akebi. According to the theory, Amado might place a lethal device on Himawari Uzumaki to force Kawaki into reviving Akebi.

The core argument rests on Kawaki's deep devotion to protecting Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga's family. In Chapter 38 of the Boruto manga, Kawaki explicitly vows to ensure Himawari's safety for the sake of her parents. Since Amado possesses the ability to monitor sensory data through Kawaki's mechanical modifications, he is fully aware of Kawaki's emotional attachment to Himawari and can exploit this vulnerability.

To justify Amado taking such a ruthless route, the theory highlights his past actions during his defection to the Hidden Leaf Village. Amado previously fitted Shikadai Nara with a fake bomb collar to force Shikamaru Nara and Konoha's leadership into accepting his asylum request. This precedent demonstrates that Amado has no moral hesitation regarding using a child as political leverage or a bargaining chip when pursuing his ultimate objective.

Furthermore, the author argues that Amado cannot afford to wait passively for the conflict against Jura to resolve itself. As revealed by Kashin Koji through his Prescience ability, Jura defeats and kills Kawaki in nearly every possible future timeline. Relying on Kawaki or Boruto Uzumaki to survive and willingly assist him afterwards is an immense risk. Desperate to ensure Akebi's revival, Amado might attempt to force Kawaki's hand before the final showdown with the Shinju.

In the narrative of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Amado's primary motivation remains the recreation of his deceased daughter Akebi through Karma technology. To achieve this, Amado restored Kawaki's Karma without his consent, embedding Akebi's biological data into Kawaki's cybernetic body. Kawaki's cooperation is essential to transfer that Karma onto a suitable host, making Amado dependent on Kawaki's compliance.

If Amado decides to execute such a plan, it would escalate tension between Konoha's leadership, Kawaki, and Amado. Fans continue to discuss whether Amado will remain an ally to Konoha or take desperate measures as the battle against Jura and the Shinju reaches its peak.
