It's true and confirmed by Ikemoto.
"Switching places with Kawaki allowed Boruto to shine as a protagonist"
He had to switch their places and put limiters on Kawaki to make Boruto feel like a protagonist.
I love this panel because it just summarizes everything that led to the time-skip
This was the author spoon feeding this fandom the reasons to why Kawaki took the initiative into solely dealing with Momoshiki
But some still wanna blindly hate
@portalborutobr Bruh Eida lived with Kawaki and watched him closely for three years and understood him well
She knows Kawaki doesn’t return her feelings (and isn’t obligated to) and knows that she is not of his priorities, yet she still helped him pre-time skip
She’s just worried about him
@RoginaSmail333 Like it’s obvious and it’s pathetic
I don’t care about the ships either, but at least I want the Eida thing to at least go somewhere for a bit just to spite these stupid Boruto fans..
Eida watched Kawaki closely for theee years and she must know everything about him now
@Kurorealciel2@Thugnificent950 Yeah
And the thing is Most of his fans are actually people who either dislike Boruto manga or have no interest in following it.. just people from outside who appreciated his writing
that’s why his fandom might look lesser than the other ones, where in reality it’s much more
Plot convenience.
KK claimed all of the times Boruto used STN, it was coincidental so he can't replicate it but Kawaki very consciously used STN to free Naruto from Jigen's seal.
There's no reason why Kawaki can't use it unless he's subconsciously limiting his access.
