Boruto’s Jougan and Kashin Koji’s Awakened Powers: A Possible Connection

The most recent installment of Boruto Two Blue Vortex has offered several interesting revelations that may offer insight into the enigmatic Jougan, Boruto Uzumaki’s unique eye technique. In Chapter 13, it was revealed that Shibai Otsutsuki’s cells were implanted in all cyborgs, including Kashin Koji.

This discovery prompts the inquiry of whether the Hokage’s son may have also experienced a comparable metamorphosis. To comprehend his Jougan, it is important to consider the activation of Kashin Koji’s abilities and how they could potentially impact his own potential for growth.

The Mystery of Boruto’s Origins

According to a convincing theory, Boruto’s exceptional powers may not only be attributed to his ancestry but could also be connected to the influence of Otsutsuki Toneri. Toneri has been suspected of manipulating his destiny for some time, as shown by the fact that Urashiki sealed him away for his actions towards Hinata’s child.

According to the theory, Toneri may have implanted something within Hinata or her unborn child that could enable Shibai cells or a similar substance to merge with the child’s biology, potentially paving the way for their future advancement.

This theory is supported by Kashin Koji’s own experience. As revealed in Chapter 13, Amado implanted him with Shibai cells, but it was not until he was on the verge of death during his battle with Jigen that his powers fully manifested.

This implies that the presence of Shibai cells in near-death experiences could potentially activate latent abilities. In the case that Boruto possesses Shibai cells or a comparable genetic enhancement, his Jougan could potentially manifest in moments of intense stress or peril.

The sporadic appearance of the Jougan could provide additional evidence for this theory. It seems that the Jougan may need time to mature or specific requirements must be fulfilled for it to fully manifest. In contrast to the Sharingan or Byakugan, which can be controlled at will once mastered, the Jougan’s intermittent activation suggests a more intricate process for its awakening.

It is possible that genetics also have a significant influence on the abilities that are activated from Shibai cells. This can be seen in the example of Jiraiya, who was tasked with finding and mentoring someone capable of saving and uniting the ninja world, which aligned with his unwavering optimism and future-oriented perspective.

On the other hand, Ada’s longing for love could have sparked her potential. This implies that a person’s genetics and individual goals may play a role in shaping the distinctive capabilities that arise from implanted Shibai cells.

Boruto’s genetic background sets him apart from others. As the offspring of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, he shares a close genetic connection to Kaguya Otsutsuki, a rarity among living humans. Furthermore, from birth, Naruto has been bonded with Kurama, the Nine-Tails and a fragment of the Ten-Tails, making Boruto even more unique.

The Otsutsuki clan has a strong relationship with the Ten-Tails, as it is a powerful entity that they use to consume chakra fruits and spread new Ten-Tails to other worlds. It is rumored that Shibai Otsutsuki achieved godhood by consuming numerous chakra fruits. This connection implies that the Karma wielder may possess a distinctive combination of Otsutsuki and Ten-Tails genetics.

Considering Boruto’s ancestry and the potential impact of Kurama, he could be a promising candidate for receiving Shibai cells or a similar implantation. With this genetic makeup, a distinctive fusion of Otsutsuki and Ten-Tails traits could potentially lay the groundwork for the emergence of the Jougan.

There are striking resemblances between the awakening of Kashin Koji and the potential requirements for Jougan’s emergence. This suggests that Jougan’s dormant abilities may also awaken in the near future, particularly if he encounters life-threatening situations similar to those that Koji faced.

It is possible that the Jougan will achieve its full potential by observing how other characters, particularly Kashin Koji, activate their abilities. The combination of genetic factors, a near-death experience, and the influence of the Otsutsuki may all play a crucial role in unlocking Boruto’s true power.
