Sasuke and Naruto are in a different situation. Reincarnation is a bit of a different matter. Sasuke and Naruto are not stating to be or acting as a family unit. “Brother” can be a term of close male bonding, not strictly meaning blood relation.

If the question of who Oro was with comes up, as stated, one glance over Mitsuki’s bio page will clear it up. The way Oro made him is not important, it’s just a bit odd removing the fact that Oro is his parent for the sake of reassuring everyone that Oro didn’t have sex with anyone. That clarity is obvious come the bio page. I also feel telling people Oro is his parent is more important and relevant than telling people Oro didn’t “mate”.

I really feel it changes the tone of Oro and Mitsuki. It’s more misleading as generic template. Now the evolution of character is lost. Mitsuki is reduced to an experiment, Oro a scientist. When the show has displayed the relation of parent/son despite the experiment thing. Genetic template causes quite a bit of confusion regarding this. It completely changes the original tone the show Boruto is offering currently. If Oro refers to themself as his genetic template, or Mitsuki refers to Oro as his genetic donor, and they both specifically drop the family dynamic, then fine. But right now it seems very out of place.

I get its an unorthodox manner of being a child and parent, but it does somewhat ruin character development and character bond by placing such a strangely scientific version. By not putting parent, under a section named family, it’s implying Oro isn’t Mitsuki’s parent. It strongly comes across as Oro being an absent part of his life and only forming part of the creation (if that, genetic template doesn’t even mean Oro created him just that their dna was copied), when we see many parent/child interaction.
