It is still a jutsu that looks the same but is not the same. Except that it's not a loose definition if it describes exactly what the Rasengan is; a spinning ball of chakra that's formed and held in the palm of the user's hand. Nothing more, nothing less. Your Fire Release example is reductive. Although most Fire Release techniques are formed from the user's mouth, they don't all look the same and behave differently. A volley of small fireballs is obviously different than a dragon head-shaped fireball, for example. Like I said before, they are the same technique where one is simply an augmented version of the other. They appear on Shukkaku's sealing techniques, and Gaara's partial transformation They don't look exactly the same Of your argument is "it looks the same therefore is the same" tgen it should have the same or similar effect: spreading curse marks across the user. But that isnt what happened. I just now realized that you made a straw man out of my argument, which ticks me off. Here's my argument.... when two identical techniques are used by the same person, it's more likely than not that they are of the same nature I wasn't even arguing that they were the same techniques in the first place, so talking about similar techniques between users and the behavior of the two techniques are completely meaningless. Also, I suggest you drop your curse mark spread argument, since the MR: Rasengan needs constant contact for the curse mark to spread throughout the target's body. In the case of the particular Rasenshuriken, it and the other Rasnshurikens exploded immediately after making contact with Kaguya. Last time I checked, seals/curse marks don't occur within an instant.
