-he calls sarada a fellow comrade, -he calls sasuke "master", which can mean a lot of things: 1. he is uberpowerful in his(and actually everyone elses) eyes, 2. he shows up only a bit which adds to "he goes around the world and experiences awesome things which only a super-powerful ninja can survive, 3. sasuke became borutos teacher (i actually like the idea, boruto becomes more attached to sasuke and sarada (given her "follow the rules-look) becomes more attached to naruto (exspecially since sasuke is gone for months) ^_^

conclusion: boruto calling his father "hero" is: boruto talking about narutos general status in the public view, and than "shitty old dad" is his own view on naruto, exspecially the "old" part, afterall he is still a kid, and from a kids perspective the father always looks "old", the "shitty dad" part is obvious ^_^

I mean, if we assume that Sarada and Sasuke are labeled as a "fellow comrade" and "master" from Boruto's perspective, how can we be certain that he did not inherit his father's, well...quirky overconfidence and casually labeled himself the next ninja-god? I mean, it's kinda the movie's premise, isn't it?

Just sayin' though....

Funny enough the Kanji for 戦友 means Comrade, not rival. They literally called Sarada his comrade in Japanese, but translated it to say rival in English. They don't correlate.

Anything bar of trying to squeeze out of the meaning is a bit funny. There is no double meaning or anything else to be explained, the Kanji represent the character in what role they will play in this movie, or a characterization.

Naruto - Hero. Obvious, he is the hero of this story. <--- Characterization

Sasuke - Master. Obviously his role in this movie will be with Boruto, anything else is just a plus. <-- Role

Sarada - What-ever yet. Comrade or Rival, she will play a large role in thsi movie. <--- Role

Boruto - Prodigy. Meaning that the MC is the genius archetype, and his rival might be the hard worker. <--- Characterization.

Note how both Naruto/Boruto had traits, while Sasuke/Sarada have character roles.
