So in other words, current Boruto's ability is Otsutsuki level just because of his potential? If yes, i'm sorry but that would be incorrect.7
SP is making Boruto Otsutsuki level with his innate potential tapped into. The reality was Boruto was out of his league even though he managed to fool the overpowered villain, but the underlying assumption from it can be made that with his better performance than the Kage's who were partnering together and still couldn't perform as better he's at least Kage level or above that, and this is a consequence of the writing that went into that episode. I personally don't think that but the existence of fans thinking in that manner goes to show we may think Boruto is Otsutsuki level threat, and my point with this in the beginning was to shed light on the injustice of the series with Boruto looming to Otsutsuki level threat with characters heigheted to be immensely strong being mistreated. It opens the wounds of what they did to Madara/Obito, characters that were actually powerful, in their own right.
- You say Momo was out of fuel then go and compare scenarios between that Momo and the freshly transformed Momo who wrecked the Kages?
A fly is still a fly, if you and I were tired out, would a fly pose any danger if we could swat it? Not saying Boruto is a fly equivalent, but the disparity in power between the two can be metamaphorically links to that point. We can compare to that to how Madara had depleting chakra in his half blind state, yet was able to knock away Tailed Beasts with ease and lodge a sword into a remotely fresh Sasuke when he was more tired from fighting, and the power difference between them is not close to the difference between a god and a Genin. No matter how strong Boruto may have been, the difference them was of a greater amount than Hinata and Pain, and Hinata wasn't even able to land one hit on Pain. Can we then assume then that in that instance, Boruto surpassed even Hinata and could take out Pain if he was equipped with a non-absorbable Big Ball Rasengan?
- The only badass scene between Boruto and Momo was when the Jougan temporarily activated and he was able to maneuver around Momo's arm but iirc, Momo still destroyed that clone easily so i'm not sure what logic you are referring to especially since we don't have the full details of what exactly Jougan does to its wielder.
You're right on the Jougan front, we don't know yet what it can do, it may have better precognition than an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, pragmatically contemplating the situation. Base Boruto couldn't dodge Shinki without clones, though with Jougan he's able to dodge a close quarters assault from Momoshiki. 3T Sharingan precognition is out of the picture since VOTE 1 Sasuke couldn't possibly dodge it. The scene wasn't all too badass for me, probably because the choreography that went into Sasuke and Naruto was that much good, but it was badass nonetheless.
This is where context in a sense comes in again.. Do you honestly believe that Momo we were given would have posed any sort of problem to Kaguya? Kaguya thrashes Madara, thrashes Boruto and also thrashes Madara and Boruto together lmao.. Not sure why we are even having this discussion.
Considering Boruto could pose a problem to a fused Momoshiki, it's kind of logic to assume that a god would be able to. And we don't really know whether Kaguya would beat JJ Madara, she could out last him, but Madara was at least x2 stronger than Sasuke and Naruto individually and had just about enough chakra to keep things going to the point the two forced her to awaken her Bijuu state. And JJ Madara is kind of impossible when both have to be JJ and there can only be one JJ, or we're going into the fictional realm? As for her thrashing Boruto, you might want to rethink. Boruto with Jougan was able to push Momoshiki to his limits. Boruto with Jougan and Karma is on a whole other level. Any ninjutsu she can throw at him is absorbed via the seal, so Boruto is already a threat. Boruto Stream is also good distraction when the enemy is worn out, if she lets her guard down for a second, she gets hit by a Rasengan, and there's also the Vanishing Rasengan which she cannot dodge. With timing, and the seals, he has better chances than any shinobi besides the two that already did it. I shouldn't be conceiving these ideas, but thanks to the writing of the series, they may be sensible.
I'll respond to the other points later, I accidentally deleted them in the quoting process, and I'm kind of indolent to re-quote at the moment.
