Alright, I'm no longer buying the technology plot. Lemme break it down.

Boruto Movie -- This is the first taste we get of the ninja world about a decade and a half after the series ended. Technology has clearly made a jump both because people naturally do that over time, and we can assume because of shared resources between villages. We see that there are handheld games now, ninja mcdonald's, public transit, and we get to see Katasuke's invention the "kote". That is cutting edge stuff. A gauntlet that shoots sealed jutsu.

Ao Arc -- This cannot be more than a couple of months after Momoshiki, but even if we were to be generous and say that it was a year or even two, I refuse to believe that ninja Steve Jobs, who was helping Boruto cheat on his Gameboy and who was busy designing the Kote, has somehow jumped ahead technologically so that his new "cutting edge" is a damn mech suit. And of course, because Katasuke can't be the coolest guy out there, he's quickly outdone by gatling lasers and lightsabers.

Kawaki Arc -- And now Katasuke tells us (from a strange cursory observation of his passed out form) that Kawaki is a cyborg who's innards have been scooped out and replaced by highly advanced tech.

It defies all logic, unless we assume that there are places in the world that have been highly technical all along, and the ninja villages are the the old-fashioned bumpkins of the world. And despite a few pieces of evidence that kind of suggest that, it's still a lame plot twist.

/rant. Sorry. Just disappointed.
