Summary
Boruto's Karma mark is dangerous because it could release Otsutsuki Momoshiki inside him. Kawaki can take advantage of Boruto's weaknesses to his advantage in future confrontations. Having a notable weakness would add to the tension and prevent Boruto from becoming an overpowered protagonist.
Main character of Boruto Two blue tornadoes, the legitimate son of Naruto Uzumaki, has gone from a talented young Shinobi to a proud and powerful warrior. His years of training with Sasuke have proven extremely fruitful, as Boruto has now become one of the strongest characters in the series. However, he is not yet invincibleproven by a small but important detail presented in chapter 9 of the manga.
Boruto seems incapable of controlling his Karma, as Kashin Koji's toad reveals. When Kawaki tried to activate his technique to fight his old friend, Naruto's son had to run away, as doing so would most likely awaken one of Japan's greatest villains. series, Momoshiki. It seems Boruto still hasn't resolved the problem of Momoshiki's presence inside his body.
Karma is Boruto's strength that becomes his weakness
Boruto used to rely on Karma in battles
Since the Karma ability was introduced in chapter 23 of the Boruto manga, it has become the main character's key weapon in the series. Whenever they need to defeat a strong opponent, Boruto and Kawaki will use this skill given to them by the Otsutsuki clan. However, it seems this once powerful tool has become Naruto's son's downfall. The Karma mark on Boruto's hand is directly related to the soul of Momoshiki residing within the young man, using which could release Otsutsuki and let him take over Boruto's body once again.
Momoshiki has made it clear that he will not rest until he can completely take over Boruto's body, the reason why Boruto was marked in the first place. As Boruto grew up, the power of the Karma mark as well as Momoshiki's influence in the shinobi boy's mind also increased. Although it is not explicitly stated in chapter 9, it is possible that when the Karma mark is active, Momoshiki will briefly gain control of Boruto's body. The risk of losing his body under Otsutsuki's control far outweighs the advantages this technique gives Boruto in battle.
Kawaki will use this weakness to his advantage
Boruto's weakness opens new doors for Kawaki
While Boruto was running away from the fight against Kawaki in chapter 9, Kawaki seemed to have noticed that his former ally could not use his Karma mark. This moment could foreshadow Kawaki's strategy against Boruto in the future. In terms of strength and abilities, Kawaki is not powerless against the incredible techniques Boruto learned during the timeskip. The old friend will not have a chance to fight Boruto in a one-on-one match. Things get even worse for Kawaki when the people of Konoha are slowly welcoming Boruto back, threatening the young man's plans.
However, not all is lost, as Kawaki has now realized Boruto's greatest weakness. Just by being able to use his Karma mark, Boruto will be forced to flee their confrontation or risk losing control. While not ideal, this could help Kawaki keep his old friend at bay until he has trained enough to defeat him or find a way to neutralize him. It's good that the “new” Boruto finally shows his weakness. While fans welcomed his new attitude and powers, having an overly strong main character could ruin the plot.
No matter what happens in the future of the series, it seems like the Karma mark will become important to Boruto and Kawaki's relationship. However, it's refreshing to see that Naruto's son, despite becoming an incredibly powerful warrior, still has a notable weakness. This fact not only adds tension and drama to the series but also deters it Boruto Two blue tornadoesThe plot becomes stale and predictable.
