Notes
The chapter sits within the Mamushi portion of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex and was collected in the eighth volume. Its title plays on Boruto likening Daemon to a devil, rendered in the original as akuma. The VIZ edition instead calls him a demon, echoing his name, a nuance absent from the Japanese text.
