This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Summary
- Minato and Naruto are the best users of the Rasengan technique.
- Naruto evolved the Rasengan into powerful variants like the Rasenshuriken.
- Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko is a strong variant but Naruto remains the superior user for now.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has already revealed quite a lot of exciting characters to the fans, both new and old, and fans continue to be amazed by the quality that it manages to deliver every month. With these incredibly powerful characters in Boruto also come strong techniques, but if there's one technique that has always managed to stay relevant in the story, it is the Rasengan.
Boruto: Kishimoto Reveals The Biggest Weakness Of Rasengan Uzuhiko
Rasengan Uzuhiko is Boruto's strongest ability. It however has one fatal weakness.
This Justu, invented by Minato, is incredibly overpowered, and at the same time, very versatile. Many different users have attained the power to use the Rasengan over the years, and the strongest of them all is revealed by Kishimoto already.
The Best User Of The Rasengan Technique
- Minato And Naruto Are The Best Users
- Naruto Managed To Evolve The Rasengan
When it comes down to the best user of the Rasengan, it is undoubtedly the one who created it, and his son, that is, Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki respectively. Both of them are very powerful, and while there are other users who could rival them in strength, in terms of Rasengan usage, they're clearly superior. Minato could create any size of Rasengan in a matter of seconds, showing his incredible superiority.
Let's name it Rasengan. — Kushina Uzumaki
Boruto: Ikemoto Confirms Naruto Uzumaki Is Still Stronger Than Boruto
Boruto Uzumaki is strong, but Ikemoto has confirmed he has yet to surpass Naruto's peak.
Naruto, although not as good at first, most certainly surpassed Minato in Rasengan usage as the story continued. He can create an even bigger Rasengan, and has multiple variants. On top of that, Naruto Uzumaki also evolved the Rasengan. He created the Rasenshuriken, and to make things even crazier, he was able to infuse the Rasengan with Tailed Beast powers, and even Six Paths powers, creating the Tailed Beast Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken.
The Strongest Rasengan Variant in Boruto
Uzuhiko Is One Of The Strongest Rasengan Variants
While the best user of the Rasengan is, undoubtedly, Naruto Uzumaki, there are other users of the technique too, some that might have stronger variants. For instance, Boruto Uzumaki created Rasengan Uzuhiko, using which he can use the power and the rotation of the planet to inflict semi-permanent damage to his enemies. This technique can also be charged enough to destroy the target in a single blow, as was the case with Hidari.
It utilizes the power of the planet, and I call it Uzuhiko. — Boruto
That said, Rasengan Uzuhiko doesn't make Boruto the best user. He simply has one of the best variants of it. In general, Naruto is still the superior user of the technique, with his better and more versatile usage, and types that surpass Uzuhiko in destructive power too. Naruto is, by far, the best user of this technique, and thematically, it makes sense too. This is especially the case as his parents were the ones who created the technique and passed it down to him.
That said, it must be noted that Boruto Uzumaki is the unfinished product for now. He can still get even stronger and come up with stronger versions of the technique in the future. Boruto surpassing Naruto would be interesting for the fans to see and it is something that many are looking forward to. Hopefully, Ikemoto and Kishimoto deliver in that regard.
