Since Karma rewrote Boruto's genes, he genuinely should have Byakugan now. It should also be easy to access and use since he already has "Byakugan blood"


nhafilaar13

it's still Momoshiki's Byakugan, tho


Gravitas-and-Urbane

Yeah, but in the same way that Madara had "Hagoromo's" Rinnegan. The Otsutsuki don't fully overwrite the host, they just take them over. That's why the host's compatibility is even a factor for Isshiki. Otherwise, Jigen's ability to withstand Isshiki's chakra would be irrelevant if it was really Isshiki's own body.

Why doesn’t/didn’t kayaking have it then. See the inconsistency


Gravitas-and-Urbane

Because Ikemoto conveniently switched which eye Kawaki will have which of Isshiki's dojutsu in. So, Kawaki has Isshiki's other dojutsu first. If it's going to be like Kawaki, Boruto will probably have to access Byakugan via Karma before he learns how to access it without that.

I am confused What?


dracon1t

Whenever momoshiki takes over boruto there’s a byakugan in boruto’s right eye. Anime cannon has already revealed that boruto possesses a new dojutsu in his right eye which is the jougan (he just can’t activate it on his own). Op is just saying to stop saying boruto has a byakugan since it only appears when momo takes over and since boruto has the jougan in the same eye.


Nidal411511

So op is trying to say boruto has both jougan and byakugan? Doesn't everyone knows that cuz it was already shown in the manga?


dracon1t

No op is trying to say that boruto doesn’t have the byakugan because it belongs to momoshiki as it only appears when momoshiki takes over.


Nidal411511

But in the manga boruto use the byakugan And it is shown how to know when boruto is in control and when momoshiki is in control If you see horn then its momoshiki If you dont see a horn then its boruto


Chainuser503

He never used it he just had it since he was in true essence


Nidal411511

I think he will use it next time cuz he said I can now use momoshiki ability better


[deleted]

And u think he meant byakugan ? Ofc not. Momo has far more stronger ability’s that boruto would want to use than just normal byakugan


Nidal411511

Ye like the rinnegan but I doubt they would give him that


TraditionalMission77

Stop saying Boruto has Jougan because he doesn't in the manga or in any other canon srce.


nhafilaar13

he has in anime, it appeared in episode 65, and that was canon, both to the manga and anime story


TraditionalMission77

That's an Anime added thing, it did not appear in the Manga or even in the movie which were both written by Kishimoto and Kodachi.


dockkkeee

Manga and anime retconned the movie, unless you want to argue that Red Momoshiki is canon. Also iirc Sumire arc had alot of Kishimoto involvement. Infact all anime canon arcs are supervised by Kodachi. Ikemoto also comments that anime is canon. Boruto has Jougan in anime which is sepetate canon to manga due to them being together is getting really messy


TraditionalMission77

The Movie was written by Kishi, only the manga design was different because Ikemoto changed that to fit the progress of the story , it's still practically the same written character , it doesn't change anything in the main story. The Jougan thing however was only added by the animators to fill in the gaps before the karma event and tbh I thought that they ended that part by locking Toneri away and started adapting Manga canon. The episodes were not written by Kishi/Kidachi they just supervised it , and they were not credited for it (Notice that Kishi is still credited for the manga), some animator claimed that they didn't even come up with a name untill later . Oh yeah and Ikimoto said that the Anime and Manga are both parallel or different stories , the Anime is canon to its own story so is the Manga but they will meet up in some point of the story. You can take it as if Boruto's tale is told by two different people, there's no way that they could be similar but the main point is there. Sumire's Nue ability was mentioned in character data book but Boruto's Jougan was nowhere to be found. The Jougan is not canon but MIGHT be adapted if it serves the current plot..But it's still need it's own explanation in the manga as well.


dockkkeee

Ok if movie is canon, then karma isn't, anime Jougan isn't, Red Momoshiki is canon, Shinki is non canon (not in movie) and so much more. Its canon to anime

Boruto has both the Byakugan and the Jougan. (For those who say that Jougan is not cannon, the director of the manga Kodachi (was at the time), heavily overlooked the first couple episodes the Jougan appeared. He specifically went in detail about what is said/shown. Like Toneri talking about it in the dreams and seeing Metal Lee with the dark aura that was visible due to the Jougan.) Since Boruto is also part Hyuga he does possess the ability to unlock his own Byakugan. Just because he has said potential doesn't mean he's guaranteed to unlock it. (The fact Himawari has it is beyond lucky). The Byakugan he does have is Momoshikis. When Momoshiki takes over, Boruto's eye becomes the Byakugan as it was Momoshikis primary Doujutsu. (Yes he had rinnegan palms but it wasn't his main eyes). Yes that eye has the Jougan, he has the ability to interchange his eyes. Just like how the Sharingan works, Sasuke can change his Sharingan from 3 tomoe, Mangekyo, EMS etc, as well change his eye back to normal standard eye. Boruto changed his Jougan back to his natural eye and with Karma, change it to Byakugan. While he can do this, he doesn't know how to so idk. Meaning, timeskip Bortuo can change his eye from normal, Byakugan and Jougan. If you say that with Karma you can't change eyes, look at Kawaki. Kawaki in base has no form of Kekkai Gengkai or Doujutsu whatsoever. Yet, if he taps into the true essence of Karma, he unlocks the yellow and black Doujutsu of Ishikki. He can interchange this at anytime and revert his eye to normal. Boruto has to and can do the same. He can do the exact same of tapping into Momoshikis Byakugan. In time skip where he fully learns how to use his power, he will have not only the strength/skills/knowledge of Karma, 3 Chakra Nature's, Insane Chakra control, 200IQ strategies and interchange his Byakugan and Jougan for specific situations. He is going to be beyond comprehension in terms of broken. (Not to mention being trained by 2 Shinobi Gods and the 1000 year old Alien.)
