In the early scenes of the manga and anime Boruto, the protagonist shinobi named Boruto Uzumaki is shown as an adult who has some drastic changes. His appearance clearly looked very different. The scar on his left eye is visible with various tattoo marks, and there is something different in Boruto's eye called Jougan.

When the older Boruto Uzumaki was revealed, fans immediately paid attention to the design of adult Boruto. Over time, both Jougan and his karma have indeed been given names. But his Jougan power is still shrouded in mystery. Boruto's power has indeed been shown only a few times, but the mysterious kekkei genkai has yet to be revealed in detail.

Even the author can’t fully understand what Jougan can and can't do. From everything we know about Boruto's power, it is revealed that the eye's ability is quite strong. Although this power has not yet been fully revealed, there are many things about Jougan that have been explained.

Fans of the Naruto universe have also started theorycrafting about this eye. It's been almost four years since the Boruto manga ran, and now we have a lot of assumptions and theories about Boruto's power. What is Jougan, does it come from Otsutsuki? Here are the facts about this eye!

1. Literally Means Pure Eye

Almost nothing was known about  Boruto’s eye until one of his animators released some information via social media. A simple sketch of Boruto was released with a word written at the bottom. It was later confirmed that Jougan is the name of Boruto's eye.

In the anime, Boruto's eye has not been officially named. An animator on the series, Chengxi Huang, posted a picture of Boruto on his blog, along with the name Jougan. He also said that Ikemoto and Kishimoto had not thought about this power completely. He noted that these powers would be further refined over time and better incorporated into the plot of the story.

Jougan literally means pure eye in English. The creators of Boruto have not revealed why this kekkei genkai is called pure eye. After the full power of this eye is revealed, perhaps its name will also be explained again.

2. Great Ability

Jougan can see and feel chakra. In the Naruto franchise, chakra is the power used by every ninja. Using his eyes, Boruto can track certain chakra signatures.

All of Jougan's abilities have not been shown. However, from what we have seen, we can say that this eye's ability can see the flow of chakra, like the Sharingan, as well as sense it. But this power can also see the chakra pathway system, like in the Byakugan. Since the concept of chakra plays an important role in the series, Boruto might use this ability to gather information in defense and even in his attacks as well.

Like Naruto, even Boruto can sense negative energy thanks to his kekkei genkai. He could see through the invisible barrier that connected the two dimensions. The first is the physical realm where the main story takes place, and the second is the connecting dimension that comes after the first physical realm.

The power of this eye also allows Boruto to predict and locate the portal that the Otsutsuki clan members use. An animator from the series revealed that Jougan is stronger than the Byakugan and even the Tensegan. Boruto is already very skilled, and along with these powerful abilities, he will be a great shinobi in the series.

Although Boruto's eye is still in the process of developing, we know that it is connected to the dimension used by the Kage clan. Boruto couldn't activate it on command. On the other hand, when Boruto is focused on an object or other person, that power will be activated unconsciously. When he gets older, Boruto can activate it at will.

We've seen that Boruto can travel between dimensions, but he doesn't realize what he's doing and just activates it by accident. Previously, the only ninja who could freely move between dimensions was Sasuke with his Rinnegan. By doing so, Sasuke lost a large amount of Chakra, and his Sharingan was deactivated for a long time. We believe that Boruto will be an important part in helping Naruto and Sasuke travel to another dimension without using Sasuke's energy. Thus allowing him to fight with his full strength against the higher-ups of the Kage clan alongside Naruto.

3. An Existing Kekkei Genkai From the Past

No one seemed to know what a Jougan was, though few shinobi actually looked him in the eye. However, Otsutsuki immediately recognized this kekkei genkai. This has led to speculation that the Jougan may be an old kekkei genkai that hasn't been seen in generations.

This Kekkei Genkai has probably been asleep for decades. Boruto might end up meeting with Otsutsuki again for answers because the alien clan is the only one who understands about his eyes. Unfortunately, Otsutsuki probably won't be too open about this classified information.

4. Boruto’s Ability to Control It

Adult Boruto is shown to have complete control over Jougan and Karma. The young Boruto hasn't mastered the ability to control these two things yet. Unlike the ninja in the previous generation, Sasuke, Hinata, and Neji have proven to have mastered their kekkei genkai since childhood.

Even though Boruto can't control his kekkei genkai yet, he will learn to control it. Right now we can only wonder what training or events Boruto has to go through to master his powers. Jougan and Boruto's karma can appear randomly, but one day he will be able to control them too.

5. Its Connection to Byakugan

Byakugan is a kekkei genkai of the Hyuga clan. Himawari, Boruto’s younger sister, is known to inherit this power. Although Naruto writer Masashi Kishimoto originally planned to give Boruto Byakugan as well, Kishimoto ended up admitting to forgetting to give Boruto that ability.

The creators of Boruto have repeatedly stated that Jougan is not related to the Byakugan. This kekkei genkai is said to be something new, or rather a power too ancient to be part of any known thing in modern ninja life. So officially, this kekkei genkai is not related to the Byakugan.

6. The Byakugan Evolution Theory

Masashi Kishimoto is known by his fans as an author who likes to release misleading information. He will include misleading text in his writing and intentionally give misleading interviews. A popular fan theory is that Jougan is actually related to the Byakugan regardless of what Kishimoto says.

Many fans have pointed out the similarities between Jougan and Byakugan. The two kekkei genkai have similar strength and appearance. Jougan is also only known by the Otsutsuki, the clan that has the Byakugan as well. Fans believe that the Jougan is actually an enhanced evolution of the Byakugan, despite being told otherwise by Kishimoto.

7. Boruto can train His Kekkei Genkai with the Aid of the Hyuga Clan

Gentle fists are a fighting technique unique to the Hyuga clan. The Byakugan is required to use the chakra-blocking aspects of the gentle fist. Boruto's fighting style has long been compared to his mother's from the Hyuga clan.

Even without the Byakugan, Boruto shouldn't be able to use chakra-blocking. Since Jougan can reveal chakra flow, it's likely that Boruto will be able to use all of Hyuga's techniques in the future. This means that Boruto has to rely on his maternal relatives to train him to use this kekkei genkai.

8. Hereditary Theory

Kaguya Otsutsuki has two sons. One of her sons is Naruto's ancestor. The other boy is Hinata's ancestor. Therefore, Boruto is a descendant of Kaguya through his parents. There is a theory that Boruto may have inherited the more powerful Otsutsuki gene due to his ancestry.

Jougan may be the result of Boruto's genetics. If so, there is a possibility that Boruto will inherit other powers through his Otsutsuki lineage. Boruto is probably the only person who poses a real threat to the Otsutsuki clan.

9. The Result of Toneri Kidnapping Hinata?

In The Last: Naruto the Movie, Hanabi and Hinata are kidnapped by Toneri Otsutsuki. Toneri, who is actually interested in Hinata, becomes a great threat to the earth. When Hinata is unconscious in her abduction, Toneri performs some kind of inexplicable experiment on Hinata.

A theory from fans of the story suggests that Toneri may have somehow altered Hinata's DNA. Fans believe this is what produces Jougan in Hinata's son, Boruto. While this may be just a theory, there are fan theories that are even more extreme. The theory is that Boruto turned out to be the child of Toneri and Hinata when he was kidnapped and unconscious, because Naruto didn't come quickly to save Hinata.

10. Momoshiki’s Prophecy About Blue Eyes

Momoshiki made a prediction when he faced Boruto, "Those blue eyes of yours will take everything from you." The meaning of this prophecy has not been revealed, but it could be related to Jougan. However, this kekkei genkai is often depicted as bluish-white in color.

Otsutsuki also called Boruto a troublesome person. It is possible that these divination and troublesome labels are indeed related. The blue-eyed prophecy may have more to do with the Jougan than it does with the color of his eyes, even though the kekkei genkai is only present in one eye.

11. Future Boruto Power

In the future, it might be possible for Boruto to use his eyes to track down anyone. He might also be able to act offensively just by observing one's chakra network. There is a theory that the power may have the combined ability of the Sharingan and Byakugan. Only time will fully reveal Jougan's abilities.

Initially, the creators of Boruto aimed to give adult Boruto characters an edgy and catchy first look to attract the audience's attention. Those creators didn't fully think about the markings on Jougan Boruto's body and eye power.

It also seems that this kekkei genkai gives Boruto an increase in speed and power. As we saw Boruto easily dodged Momoshiki's attacks, as well as hit him with the Rasengan. This was the moment when the great Kage even had to fight hard against Momoshiki.

When Boruto killed Momoshiki, he was given the Karma seal by Momoshiki. This makes Boruto a vessel for his Chakra by transferring Karma to Boruto's body. This incident gives Boruto some mysterious abilities, and as the seal develops Momoshiki will be able to manifest into Boruto's body.

Due to the seal, Momoshiki can retain the knowledge and skills learned by Boruto and will be able to control the container once Boruto is in a weak state. When we glimpse an adult Boruto scene, signs of karma are visible all over his body and it seems to be related to his Jougan as well.

That's the 11 facts about Jougan, Boruto's ability that seems to come from Otsutsuki. Do you think there are other facts about Boruto's Dojutsu that haven't been discussed here? Share them in the comment section.
