Boruto fans were surprised to discover that Code had lost his left eye and received a scar in the Two Blue Vortex manga, similar to Boruto's fate in the time skip. Code lost his eye to Sasuke a year after Boruto's departure from the Hidden Leaf Village. Sasuke sacrificed himself to create an opportunity for Boruto to escape Code's attack, resulting in Code losing his eye and developing a scar. The protagonist later returned to face Code, inheriting Sasuke's katana to honor his promise to protect Sarada Uchiha.

Their confrontation was hinted at during an attack on the Hidden Leaf Village before being fully depicted in the manga's fifth chapter. This development sheds light on the events leading up to Code's eye loss, adding depth to the story.
