When an older Boruto Uzumaki was revealed in a flash-forward, fans were immediately interested in Boruto's design.  Over time, both his Jougan and karma have been named.  His Jougan is still shrouded in mystery.  Boruto's Jougan has been shown in action only a handful of times.  The extent of this kekkei genkai hasn't been revealed.

Even the creators are said not to fully understand what the Jougan can and can't do.  From what we do know about the Jougan, the eye is quite powerful.  While that power hasn't been fully revealed, there is a lot about the eye that has already been revealed about the Jougan.

10 Ability Of Jougan

Chakra paths Naruto

The Jougan has been revealed to be able to see and sense chakra.  In the Naruto franchise, chakra is the power used to form the attacks the ninjas use.  Using his eye, Boruto has been able to track certain chakra signature.

In the future, it may be possible for Boruto to use his eye to track anyone.  He might also be able to act offensively simply by observing a person's chakra network.  There is a theory that states it might have the combined abilities of the Sharingan and byakugan.  Only time will reveal the full extent of the Jougan's abilities.

9 Old Kekkei Genkai

No one seems to know what the Jougan is, though few have actually seen the eye.  However, the Otsutsuki recognize the Jougan immediately.  This has lead to speculation that the Jougan may be an old kekkei genkai that hasn't been seen in several generations.

The Jougan may have been lying dormant for decades.  Boruto may end up having to go to the Otsutsuki for answers since they are the only one's who understand his eye.  The Otsutsuki probably won't be very forthcoming with information.

8 Meaning Of The Name

Almost nothing was known about the Jougan was known until one of the creators released some information via social media.  A simple sketch of Boruto was released with something written at the bottom.  It was later confirmed that this was the name of Boruto's eye.

The Jougan, also spelled Jogan in English, translates to pure eyeBoruto creators have yet to reveal why the kekkei genkai has been called the pure eye.  Once the eyes full powers have been revealed, perhaps the name will also be explained.

7 Controlling The Jougan

The teenage Boruto is shown to have full control over both the Jougan and the karma.  Young Boruto has yet to master control over these two things.  Even at a young age, Sasuke, Hinata, and Neji were shown to have mastery over their kekkei genkais.

While Boruto can't control the Jougan yet, he will eventually learn to control it.  Right now, fans can only wonder what Boruto will have to go through to master that control.  Boruto's Jougan and karma both show up randomly; however, someday he will be able to control the Jougan.

6 Relationship To The Byakugan

The byakugan runs in Boruto's maternal family.  Boruto's younger sister is known to have inherited the power.  While Naruto writer, Masashi Kishimoto, had originally planned to give Boruto the Byakugan, he claims to have forgotten to give Boruto that ability.

Boruto creators have repeatedly stated that the Jougan is not related to the byakugan.  This kekkei genkai has been said to be something new, or rather something too old to be a part of what is known.  So officially, the Jougan is not related to the byakugan.

5 Evolution Of Byakugan

Masashi Kishimoto is known by fans to release misleading information.  He would put misleading text in his writing and purposely give misleading interviews.  A popular fan theory is that the Jougan is actually related to the byakugan despite what the creators say.

Many fans have pointed out the similarities between the Jougan and the byakugan.  They have similar powers and appearances.  The Jougan is also only known to the Otsutsuki, all who have the byakugan.  Fans believe the Jougan may actually be an upgraded evolution of the byakugan, despite having been told otherwise.

4 Gentle Fist

The gentle fist is 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 style.

Though without the byakugan, Boruto isn't supposed to be able to use the chakra blocking.  Since the jougan can reveal the chakra network, it's possible that Boruto will be able to use all the Hyuga techniques in the future.  This might mean that Boruto will have to rely on his maternal relatives to fully train him to use his jougan.

3 Genetic Theory

Kaguya Otsutsuki had two sons.  One of her sons is the ancestor of Naruto.  The other son was an ancestor of Hinata.  Therefore, Boruto is descended from Kaguya through both of his parents.  There is a theory that Boruto may have more strongly inherited Otsutsuki genes because of his ancestry.

The Jougan may be a result of Boruto's genetics.  If so, it is possible that Boruto has inherited other powers through his Otsutsuki genealogy.  Boruto may be the only one who poses a real threat to the Otsutsuki clan.

2 Toneri Connection

In The Last:  Naruto the Movie, Hanabi gets kidnapped by Toneri Otsutsuki.  Toneri, who is actually interested in Hinata, poses a major threat to the earth.  While Hinata is in his possession, he performs some kind of unexplained experiment on her.

A fan theory states that Toneri might have somehow altered Hinata's DNA.  Fans believe this is what produced the Jougan in Boruto.  While this may be just a theory, Toneri is certainly keeping a watchful eye on Boruto.  His extreme interest in Boruto has gone unexplained, but may have something to do with the Jougan.

1 Blue Eyes

Momoshiki makes a prediction when he faces his final battle, "Those blue eyes of yours will take everything from you."  The meaning of this prophesy has yet to be revealed, but it could be linked to the Jougan.  After all, the Jougan is often depicted as being bluish-white in color.

The Otsutsuki also refer to Boruto's Jougan as troublesome.  There is a possibility that this prophecy and this troublesome label are related.  That blue-eyed prophecy might be more related to his Jougan than his eye color, though the Jougan does only exist in one eye.
