I'm praying that Koji has nothing to do with Jiraya!
- he uses the Rasengan
- he evokes frogs with his kuchiyose no jutsu
- he's able to enter Konoha without getting discovered
- he looks similar to Jiraya
first off, that bit with mitsuki trying to shake kawakis hand is peak and i just love it so much. for boruto, he's training. he's getting stronger, smarter in battle, learning about his karma, he's becoming him I believe. almost taking the upper hand in training against his dad.
I'm beginning to see many themes develop here between Boruto and Kawaki. First being they came from completely different upbringings, polar opposite you could say. Yet they end up in the same situation. We start the series with Boruto disliking his dad, and turning to Sasuke for guidance/training. Where as Kawaki is turning away Jigen and I believe has taken an interest in Naruto, or Borutos life in general. He's become curious about naruto and borutos training, asking about the unison sign and even saying it looked fun... cut to Jiigen beating him across the face with a pipe.
I alr just know naruto wants them to be rivals lmao from these panels. Also I see everyones getting stronger right now. Kawaki is now interested in training, Boruto has gotten stronger and when Sarada noticed she said she couldn't afford to fall behind now she's getting Chidori training. They gettin stronger for somethin 👀 (7-8-23)
small theory i wanna post here just incase it comes true. this is my second comment lol. for a couple months i was thinking Karma was something similar to a curse mark/seal hybrid. we see many similarities from the curse mark such as it covering your body at further stages, amping your strength and speed, even causing body modifications like we seen in shippuden when Taka raided jugos prison or sasukes form himself. i've seen pictures of kawaki and boruto with the horn things, although im not there yet. so overall i assumed it to be the mark given to those who defeat gods. assuming gods cant truly be defeated, only their physical form, this had me believing the Vessel was a body momoshiki was going to reside in eventually. assuming his consciousness was floating in space or something, but things took a wrong turn and he had to flee to borutos body. i assumed kawakis to be his mark from defeating jigen. meaning kawaki and boruto had a god sealed in each of them. yeah that theory is completely out the window bc kawakis had karma for years. with all that being wrong, i really dont know that much about karma itself, what it is, or how it works (7-8-23)
