I watched Boruto: Naruto the Movie, so I'm well aware of his capabilities.
Boruto has that special vanishing Rasengan going for him. His strategic feats are nothing really impressive. He used some decent, devious tactics during the Chunin Exams. And his victory over Momoshiki was obviously thanks to the chakra Naruto lent him and the plan Sasuke came up with.
By feats, Boruto is average. By expectations we have for him due to his parentage and him being the new main character, he's formidable.
Naruto = Sasuke, Kurama = Sharingan/Rinnegan/Rinnesharingan.
Boruto < Sarada, average chakra reserves < Sharingan.
And Mitsuki just seems way too much of a skilled genius to be taken down by Boruto as they are as we've seen them.
Plot would have to give Boruto major power-ups for him to gain superiority over his teammates.
How are you going to say you watched the Movie but you wrote an entire paragraph of nonsense?
Nope. Boruto has the Rasengan, and the Vanishing Rasengan, which according to Kakashi, any Rasengan variant becomes S Rank. If you didn't know, Bolt increased the size of his Rasengan at the very end of the movie before the credits.
Strategeic feats? Can you name one character who has strategic feats in the Next Generation? Anyway, Boruto used a shadow clone to tag himself into Shikidai's shadow possession jutsu, allowing another Boruto to jump off of that clone and come inside Shikidai's range for close combat. If you don't understand how intellectual that was, basically Boruto allowed Shikidai to capture his clone with shadow possession jutsu, knowing that Shikidai would have focused on that clone with the technique, allowing another version of him to come into Shikidai's range to attack him while his technique was already attached to someone else, meaning he was defenseless. The only counter Shikidai had for this, was the expanding shadow technique. Mind you in this fight alone, Boruto used one technique, the shadow clone jutsu, while Shikidai had to resort to using two after Boruto started to use 'strategy'.
Defeating Momoshiki? Excuse me... where exactly did you see the panel of Sasuke and Boruto's conversation to defeat Momoshiki? That's because you didn't. What you did see what Naruto and Boruto making the Father/Son Rasengan, and immediately afterwards Boruto and Sasuke started to take down Momoshiki. There wasn't even an on screen shadow clone being made for Bolt that transformed into Sasuke's sword.
Both Sasuke and Boruto were working together as master and student, they didn't need time to make a plan, this was the performance of their skills.
By feats, Boruto is a Genius.
- Mastered the A Rank Rasengan, full sized by the End of the Movie.
- Learned to utilize three elemental natures, when most Jonin ranked only learn/master two.
- Applied nature chakra to his Rasengan, which made the ability S Rank in difficulty.
- Stated that the Rasengan itself is the highest form of shape manipulation, and Boruto took it on another level by making the Vanishing Rasengan, plus, it was noted by Naruto that making this technique was impossible, which Kakashi noted that he needed to use clones to eaven the process.
And Bolt does this without shadow clones. Naruto too after receiving Rikudou chakra.
- Sasuke taught him shuriken jutsu, which he excelled at until he got extremely impatient with the second step, which involved hitting two shuriken at once to move the direction of the arc.
Yeah who else has this amount of feats, or Genius? Shikidai? He learned the shadow possession jutsu, hardly impressive. The expanding shadow technique shows his Genius, for sure, but, it wouldn't be on the same level as learning the A Rank Rasengan, or the S rank Rasengan /w chakra nature.
Sarada? Mastered CES at a young age, clearly a talented kunoichi. However, CES is only a C Rank technique via databook, making that compared to Boruto's techniques, lackluster.
Mitsuki? He doesn't have one feat bar stretching his arms once in the Movie ... So the fact that you are hyping a feat-less character is beyond me. Will Mitsuki being strong? Clearly, but the lack of feats here is confusing, especially when you know so 'little' about the Movie.
I don't know what comparisons you were trying to make below, but like I said before, by feats, Boruto can defeat any next generation kid.
Right now he isn't inferior to Sarada, Shikidai, or anyone else for that matter. In fact, he can even defeat Part 2 Sakura (early) before the Sasori fight, the one who fought Kakashi. All by feats.
