"BORUTO" is a very popular manga and anime. The previous work is "NARUTO", which is so famous that everyone knows about it, and BORUTO is its sequel. It features familiar characters from the "NARUTO" era, as well as children of Naruto's generation, so it is a must-see for "NARUTO" fans. "BORUTO" features a variety of characters, some of whom are allies and some of whom are enemies. In this article, we will introduce "Jigen", one of the members of an organization that appears as an enemy, including spoilers.
What kind of character is Jigen?
Jigen is a member and leader of the organization "Kara" that appears in "BORUTO". "Kara" is an enemy organization, and at first it appears as an organization that should not be involved. However, as the story progresses, it appears before Boruto and his friends. When Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki attacked, "Kara"'s behavior also changed little by little.
What is "Kara"?
The organization "Kara" is composed of the "inner circle" of members and the "outer circle" of collaborators, and states that a "vessel" is needed to achieve their "long-cherished wish". And that vessel was said to be Kawaki. Jigen is the leader of this group, a man with a monk-like appearance and a queue haircut who has a "wedge (karma)" on his chin. By the way, Jigen paid a large sum of money to Kawaki's father to adopt Kawaki, who was abused. Karma is also engraved on the palms of Boruto and Kawaki's hands.
Kawaki's substitute father? But...
Jigen paid a large sum of money to adopt Kawaki. Although he acts like a father figure, he actually treats Kawaki badly, performing human experiments to inscribe his karma on him and performing surgery to modify him. He also says that Kawaki is his vessel, but is that really the case?
What is Jigen's true identity? Spoiler Introduction!
In fact, Jigen's true identity was Isshiki Otsutsuki. Isshiki Otsutsuki was a person who was sealed away by Sasuke and Naruto during the "NARUTO" era, and descended to the earth with Kaguya Otsutsuki. He is currently the true leader of "Kara".
Originally a normal human
Jigen himself was originally a normal human. Otsutsuki Isshiki teamed up with Kaguya and came to the surface together. However, when Kaguya betrayed her clan and was ambushed, Isshiki was seriously injured. Isshiki was on the verge of death, but he managed to survive by parasitizing the body of Jigen, a monk who happened to be there, and carving a "Karma" into him. Therefore, Jigen was originally a normal human, but since his body was parasitized, Isshiki is his true identity.
A pretty strong Jigen!
Jigen appears to retrieve Kawaki, who was protected by Konoha. Here, he will fight Naruto and Sasuke for the first time. Jigen, who has extraordinary strength, is stronger than any other character so far, and one has to say he is the strongest. Even when Naruto and Sasuke fight together, they are no match for him, Sasuke is on the verge of death, and Naruto is sealed away.
He actually has a weakness
Although Jigen is said to be the strongest, he actually has one weakness. That is, he is originally a human. The "Wedge" passed down to the Otsutsuki clan is originally a way to rewrite information by taking over a body and reincarnate, but at the time he possessed Jigen, he was near death. Therefore, he did not have the time to carve the "Wedge", so he used his unique technique "Shoumyohikone" to shrink his own body and enter Jigen's body. Therefore, it was difficult for Jigen, who was originally human, to hold the energy of Isshiki, who has a considerable amount of power. He boasts overwhelming strength in battle, but he also consumes a lot of chakra. After the battle, he needs to refuel for a long time using scientific ninja tools.
Attacking while resupplying!
So he attacked Jigen who was resupplying. Isshiki was cornered and headed to Konoha to get back Kawaki, his original vessel.
What technique does Jigen use? Introducing with spoilers!
From here on, we will be introducing spoilers about the techniques that Jigen uses in the story! As it is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest character, he uses some very powerful techniques.
Kushi
This is a curse seal passed down to the Otsutsuki clan. It duplicates and compresses the existence of the person who uses it, and can also take over the information of the person engraved on it and revive them.
Sukunahikona
This is Isshiki's unique technique, and is the ability to shrink and restore matter. It can be used at a considerable speed, making it suitable for surprise attacks. It cannot be used on any living being other than the user, and the condition for its use is that the object being shrunk must be in view. If the view is blocked, it cannot be used. Jigen himself is a character that is likely based on the "Issun-boshi" character, and this technique is also said to be based on the magic mallet.
Secret Technique: Daikokuten
This is a pupil technique that he was able to use after reincarnation. After shrinking an object with Sukunahikona, he can take it out at his original size anywhere he likes.
[BORUTO] Spoilers for Jigen's true identity! Summary
That was the spoiler introduction about the true identity of Jigen, a character that appears in "BORUTO"! What did you think? Jigen was the true leader of "Kara", but originally he was just a human, and it turns out that his true identity is Isshiki Otsutsuki. All the enemy characters that appear in "NARUTO" and "BORUTO" are quite strong, but this time, the scene where Naruto and Sasuke are also cornered was impressive.
