I'd like to know other people's thoughts on Kara.

1) Kara Members

From what we've seen in the manga, it's clear that Kara are studying/worshipping the seals such as the one Boruto and Kawaki have been shown to possess at some point. We've also seen that the leader, Jigen, has a similar mark on his chin. From this, I think we can safely assume that everyone within the Kara group has a seal of this nature, as inferred by Shojoji.

Boruto recieved his seal right after defeating Momoshiki and being told by him that those who defeat gods, become something more. If this is the process by which these seals are achieved, are we to assume all Kara members have also defeated gods? I don't believe so.

From memory, only the Otsutsuki clan members have been referred to as gods previously. From what the clan have said themselves, there wouldn't be enough of them on Earth in present day for there to be that many ninjas who have defeated them. Let alone enough strong enough to defeat them.

Plus, given that Naruto and Sasuke defeated Kaguya, that should mean they recieved a seal similar to Boruto's back then too, which they did not.

It seems like there are a set of requirements in order to recieve a seal. Any other ideas as to what they may be?

2) Kara's Intention

I believe the group is focused on bringing about the end of the "age of shinobi".

With Momoshiki's statement to Boruto, those who defeat gods become something more. If members of Kara have been told similar lines, they may believe that they are superior and that shinobi should be wiped out to make way for their own kind, something greater and more evolved.

It makes sense with what we've heard are Kawaki's own goals and why he would want to end the age of shinobi. I'm sure it's not his only reason and that we'll discover a much more personal motive as well, but it's a point in the direction that he can align with.

Thoughts?
