Ah, my apologies, I did not state that clearly. It is not odd that it should be listed. It must be known that he is a synthetic human with one parent. However, having it under family is still out of place to me. It prioritizes something that ends up implying he has no parent. The show does mention he is a synthetic human yes, but he is primarily referred to as Oro's son, and Oro calls him son, and Mitsuki calls Oro parent (as does everyone else when referring to the two of them). Oro went to his parent/child day etc. It is a parent/child relationship. Even if Oro did it in a strange way. The oneshot of Mitsuki especially delves in to this.

"The fact that under family roles Orochimaru is the parent doesn't impact the fact that Orochimaru is not actually the parent of a clone."

This is the reason I brought up the adoptive parent argument earlier. You seem to be discrediting Oro as a parent simply because the creation process differs. If you adopt a child (and in this case Oro decided to parent a child who has their dna on top of it all), the person is still a parent. Doesn't matter if they adopted Mitsuki, mated with someone for Mitsuki, or made a child from scratch in a lab. They have classified him as their child, biologically and legally, he is their son. Not their clone. Rogu and Mitsuki are no closer than Oro and Mitsuki. They share the same coding, but technically, brothers and sisters share more in common than genetic clones. That's been proven when people clone pets in hopes of identical reincarnations etc. So I'm not going to go in to the science of that, but there is no basis for saying Rogu and Mitsuki are closer.

Also, Mitsuki is a synthetic human, he is still a human. He still should have a listed family. Clone or not, he's still being portrayed as human, such was the entire 30 episode arc we had that explained him maturing in to a person. It doesn't really matter that Sarada and Boruto were conceived normally. Saying that because Mitsuki was in a test tube not a womb does not really make a difference to this conversation. It holds no weight.

The Family section is supposed to tell you who the person is related to, not how the character was created/born.
