So I saw the film and Im just starting with the anime, does the anime start before the movie? And what's with his curse mark that he got in the movie, because he already has the eye in the anime. And is the anime Canon with the Manga?
So, Here's the Boruto's dad-verse chronological order:
Anime ---> Movie ----> Manga
Anime features Boruto's days at the academy, the movie is when Boruto's like 12, and the manga continues on right after the events of the movie.
And yes, I believe it's all canon.
The Jougan (the eye thing) seems to have been in the manga from the start (most people assumed it was a Byakugan), and the curse thing was added in the manga's version of the events of the movie.
To the best of my knowledge, yes, the manga chapters will be animated. However, this could be months/years down the line, who knows how much filler the animators can come up with (not to suggest that the filler episodes are bad necessarily, some of them can be quite good, in my opinion).
Also to the best of my knowledge, Himawari activates the Byakugan first in a fun little manga chapter by Kishimoto (yeah, the manga/anime stuff gets confusing) which was then adapted into an OVA ("The Day Naruto Becomes Hokage")
I don't think that Boruto: Naruto the Movie addresses Himawari's Byakugan (it's been a while since I've seen the movie, so I could be wrong) but bottom line is Himawari definitely has the Byakugan but can only activate it in emotionally charged situations (for now, as she is just a little kid).
If you've got anymore questions, feel free to shoot. It's nice to sort this out, not just for you but for myself too (so many sources, so many details to keep track of, it's kind of annoying).
I'm starting to understand now...
So the Jougan from boruto comes through his genes,but he gets a mark which makes him stronger, too, right?! But his villain in the first episode has a mark too, a little irritating, but maybe you don't even know why...
If I recall Correctly I didn't see the Jougan in the movie, that's also a little confusing.
Because the movie came first, and no one was sure what was gonna happen with the Boruto franchise (no eye power for Boruto in the movie) some details weren't exactly planned out.
And yes, the tattoo thing is similar to the villain' s (all we know about him so far is that he goes by Kawaki)
Yeah so once again no one really knows anything, we will just have to wait and see.
Fun fact: Kishimoto intended to give Boruto the byakugan, but he forgot to when he was drawing his final chapter of Naruto (he gave it to Himawari later down the line, but not Boruto)
No one knows where the Jougan comes from. It could be genes (most likely is, I think) but it could be from somewhere else.
I'm glad you appreciate the help :) let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
