@Nekron2

This chapter showed that he can tap into the power if pushed very far. He didn't mean to activate it, but it activated as soon as he was going to die. So basically whenever he's in trouble he'll be stronger than Naruto and Sasuke at age 12 so that's fine lol

Yeah, we aren't at that point yet. But it'd be far more interesting to flesh that out than to watch Boruto surpass his father with pretty much no work at all.

It doesn't matter that we haven't seen the protagonist have it. It's not some innovation lol, and it becomes pretty boring when the protagonist can nullify any tech that is chakra based, considering the entire world and combat style revolves around chakra.

Also I don't follow One Piece.

He didn't have to master Karma in order to be more powerful than Boro, did he? And that's when he didn't have it mastered. If the mark can be actually mastered further, it'll be ridiculous.

Also Kawaki was out of commission when Boruto went OP, so it doesn't need his resonance.

That theme of generations surpassing past generations was introduced in the Kakuzu arc, it wasn't a main theme of the series. It wasn't even a very well supported theme, since the Hokage for example declined in power pretty much all the way until Naruto. A main theme of the series was an underdog who worked really hard to keep pace with the genius's. An actual good direction for the series would have been if it centered on Boruto being a genius but it wasn't enough to contend with the monsters of the series so he had to be a genius who also worked as hard as a failure. Now, that would be a much better way for him to surpass Naruto and Sasuke in power eventually, not at age 12.
