Jōgan

The Jōgan ( 淨眼 , literally meaning: Pure Eye) is a unique dōjutsu that is known only by the Ōtsutsuki Clan , whose members claim that it is troublesome and a power strongly inherited from their clan. In the manga, the dōjutsu is featureless in appearance with a barely visible pupil. When depicted in the anime, the dōjutsu is light blue in colour with a darkened sclera and visible pupil.

When first used during his time in the Academy , Boruto did not appear to have the ability to activate it on command; instead, the eye would involuntarily activate when Boruto focused his attention on a particular person or object. As a teenager, he displayed the ability to activate it at will.

## Abilities [ ]

The Jōgan perceives chakra pathway systems down to the tenketsu , enabling the user to observe changes in chakra flow and identify individuals by their chakra signatures. It can access Space–Time Ninjutsu , able to generate portals to different dimensions. It has heightened analytical powers, being able to uncover and thoroughly comprehend hidden details to better react to and counter the opponent's next move. Likewise, it can see through invisible barriers between dimensions and can predict where they will appear.

The Jōgan activates automatically in the presence of high-level threats, including those that are otherwise undetectable. With sufficient mastery, the user can also activate it at will. Unlike other dōjutsu, the Jōgan is usable even if the eye is damaged in its natural state, retaining full sight and access to its powers.

## Trivia [ ]

- In early production materials its name was tentatively spelled with modern kanji as "Jōgan" ( 浄眼 , literally meaning: Pure Eye), however upon officially appearing in writing the spelling was changed to the traditional form, "Jōgan" ( 淨眼 , literally meaning: Pure Eye).
- After the airing of episode 15 , Chengxi Huang, an animator for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations , made a blog post hoping to offer clarification to debating fans. The animator explained that the eye was neither a Byakugan nor a Tenseigan , and at the time was being referred to as a "Jōgan" ( 浄眼 , literally meaning: Pure Eye). He also explained that the eye is related to the Ōtsutsuki clan 's dimension and its powers are the dōjutsu equivalent of Naruto's ability to sense negative emotions . However, he also noted that he personally hadn't read all the scripts and that this information was tentative and would be explained in detail in the future, and that fans should not think too much of it for now, as the author hadn't thought everything through himself. He included an illustration of Boruto putting eyedrops into his right eye, captioned "Jōgan" ( 浄眼 , literally meaning: Pure Eye).
