Boruto’s Jogan is still one of the biggest questions in the Naruto universe. The eye is seen sparingly, but what it can do hints at incredible power. In contrast to the Byakugan, the Jogan can see chakra flows and sense interdimensional rifts. Toneri Otsutsuki is somehow associated with its awakening, but little explanation is given by the anime and manga.

Fans wonder if its origin relates to the Otsutsuki Clan’s missing powers. Boruto is not able to use it effectively, and nobody knows its full potential yet. The Jogan may even be better than the Rinnegan, but there isn’t much information regarding it yet. Though very important, Boruto hasn’t unlocked it entirely. Here is everything we know so far about Boruto’s Jogan.

What Is Boruto’s Jogan?

The Jogan is a very rare dojutsu and holds an exclusive link to the Otsutsuki Clan. It translates to “Pure Eye.” Only Boruto Uzumaki has this particular dojutsu. He had it awaken in his right eye. The exact incident is left unclear. In contrast to Byakugan or the Rinnegan, Jogan is a latent ability rather than an inheritance.

The eye grants a number of potent abilities to Boruto. It lets him sense chakra channels, like the Byakugan. Yet it also senses bad emotions and views interdimensional rifts. This makes it especially effective when facing Otsutsuki opponents. Even though it has lots of potential, Boruto hardly has any mastery over it. It only unlocks randomly, many times at strategic moments.

Toneri Otsutsuki appears to be connected to Boruto’s Jogan. He appears in Boruto’s visions, forewarning him of his fate. Few details on the eye’s full potential are given by the anime and manga. Some fans speculate that it is stronger than the Rinnegan, but no confirmation of the fact exists yet.

When Did Boruto Awaken His Jogan?

Boruto initially activated his Jogan in a short flash-forward scene in Boruto Episode 1. However, the first actual activation occurred in Episode 14 when he was battling Sumire and Mitsuki. The eye opened up by itself, indicating that Boruto had no control over it. Nevertheless, he used its powers instinctively to his own benefit.

Boruto was not aware of the Jogan’s importance at this point. It would activate at random, usually when confronted by threats associated with the Otsutsuki Clan. Unlike other dojutsu, he never learned to awaken it. Instead, it naturally manifested, suggesting a greater connection to the Otsutsuki.

Interestingly, the Jogan is only seen primarily in the anime. The manga never mentions it except very rarely, causing arguments on whether or not it’s canon. Some feel that the Chapter 1 flash-forward establishes it as significant, but the plot has not touched upon it yet.

The activation of the Jogan in Episode 14 was only a start. As Boruto continues to move forward, its true nature might finally be unveiled. For now, its unpredictable appearances continue to create speculations.

How Strong Is Boruto’s Jogan Compared to Sharingan?

The Sharingan is among the strongest dojutsu in the Naruto series. It provides increased vision, genjutsu power, and strong techniques such as Kamui and Tsukuyomi. Boruto’s Jogan, however, seems to be on a different plane.

The Jogan is superior to the basic Sharingan in many aspects. It is able to see chakra paths, sense negative emotions, and feel interdimensional flaws. In contrast to the Sharingan, which must be activated, the Jogan naturally appears in Boruto. Its space-time powers also make it superior, as Boruto can perceive various dimensions.

How Strong Is Boruto’s Jogan Compared to Rinnegan?

The Rinnegan grants access to the Six Paths techniques, space-time methods, and techniques such as planetary destruction. No dojutsu has so far officially outclassed it. However, Boruto’s Jogan could do that.

As of now, the Jogan is not as powerful as the Rinnegan. Jogan’s abilities are beneficial; they are nothing compared to the devastating force of the Rinnegan. But the Jogan’s potential remains unknown. Being connected to the Otsutsuki Clan, it may have abilities greater than even the Rinnegan. Some fans are guessing that it may be able to nullify Rinnegan methods, particularly because Boruto is depicted fighting strong Otsutsuki enemies in the future.

The Jogan’s space-time powers can also compete with the Rinnegan’s teleportation methods. If it develops further, it may overcome the Rinnegan in unforeseen ways. Currently, the Rinnegan is still more powerful in brute force. But if Boruto continues to evolve, the Jogan might turn out to be an even stronger dojutsu.

How Strong Is Boruto’s Jogan Compared to Byakugan?

Byakugan is a strong dojutsu that possesses a 360-degree view and the capacity to visualize chakra pathways. It offers outstanding sight, and its users can even see minute movements. Boruto’s Jogan seems to be way more advanced.

Both dojutsu are similar. The Jogan is also able to see chakra paths and feel emotions, so it appears to be an upgraded version of the Byakugan. As Boruto is a descendant of Hyuga, most assumed that the Jogan is a development from the Byakugan. The creators did confirm that they have no genetic relation.

As opposed to the Byakugan, the Jogan is capable of perceiving and engaging with dimensional rifts. It senses danger outside normal sight, allowing Boruto to gain the upper hand in combat. Its powers also indicate a tighter bond with the Otsutsuki, making it much more diverse than the Byakugan.

The Byakugun is still a strong dojutsu, particularly for close-range combat. Yet it is missing the Jogan’s ability to manipulate space-time as well as its advanced senses. At this point, the Jogan is the more powerful dojutsu. As Boruto develops, its real capabilities could turn out to be so much stronger than those of the Byakugan.

Conclusion

Boruto’s Jogan is still mysterious in the Naruto world. Its powers surpass the Byakugan and has the potential to compete with the Rinnegan. The eye provides perception of chakra, sensing emotions, and interdimensional vision. Unlike all other dojutsu, it appears innately and binds strongly to the Otsutsuki Clan.

Although it holds tremendous potential, Boruto cannot master it. The anime foretells its significance, yet the manga barely touches upon it. Speculations persist, and some hope it will surpass every other dojutsu. As long as Boruto learns to control it, the complete power of Jogan remains untold.
