If Iwabe, the repeater, was canon then we would have definitely seen him in the Chunin Exams in the movie and the manga. The new characters are anime-only, therefore non-canon. There is no way for them to be in the canon continuity unless the author suddenly adds them and ignore what was shown in the Momoshiki Arc. Stop making excuses and get over it Just because we didn't see them, it doesn't mean they weren't there. For all we know they were, but the story was focused on Boruto. The movie had nothing to do with those characters. And in the manga, Boruto is with his own team now, not with his classmates. So maybe we haven't seen him interact with the other class members as much because he wasn't as close to them
