Ōtsutsuki Clan

A mysterious race of so-called celestial beings who have been involved in mankind's affairs since even before the dawn of the Age of Ninja. Kaguya's defeat and imprisonment has only drawn the attention of more Otsutsuki, who are now descending upon the world with the intention of doing what she could not.

The main antagonist of Boruto: Naruto the Movie, alongside his servant Kinshiki, they are members of the mysterious clan of celestial beings, the Ōtsutsukis. Arrogant, sadistic and psychotic, Momoshiki will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals and considers anyone other than himself to be insignificant. He interrupts the Chunnin Exams in order to capture Naruto, or more specifically, what's sealed inside of Naruto.

Adaptational Badass: He is a more dangerous of a foe in the Boruto anime than he is in the movie. In the movie, once he transforms and fights Naruto and Sasuke, the two almost completely wipe the floor with him with minimal difficulty. In the anime, he is much more capable, able to actually take them by surprise and seemingly gaining the upper hand initially, and even during the fight, he fares far better.
Adaptational Curves: After absorbing Kinshiki in the movie, he becomes a muscle-bound oni-like creature who towers over Naruto and Sasuke. In the manga and anime, he retains a sleek appearence.
Ax-Crazy: He keeps it sealed up usually, but he positively drools at killing innocents and wanton destruction.
Big Bad: He's the main antagonist of the Boruto movie (as well as its retellings in the manga and anime), seeking to retrace Kaguya's chakra energy and collect the scattered energy of the Shinju in order to become all-powerful and immortal. Him, Kinshiki, and Urashiki showed by themselves why Kaguya was scared enough to turn thousands of humans into an army of White Zetsus; to fight off the entire clan.
Big Bad Ensemble: Shares the title of Big Bad with Kara, and ends up competing with its last member Code for the chakra fruit that Kara sought to cultivate. Compared to the members of Kara, however, Momoshiki is a more personal threat to Boruto as his resurrection would result in Boruto's Death of Personality. Kawaki throws a wrench in his plans by severely injuring Boruto enough to force Momoshiki to rewrite some of the Karma to save Boruto's life in order to preserve his existence. But while Momoshiki can longer revive himself, this won't stop him from possessing Boruto anyway and resuming his plans. Not only that, but his lingering presence causes Kawaki to become paranoid enough to try and kill Boruto, which spirals into a series of events that results in Boruto becoming a fugitive.
Body Backup Drive: The true purpose of Karma is to turn the vessel into a perfect copy of the Otsutsuki who gave them the Karma, and now Boruto is his vessel.
Can't Kill You, Still Need You:
- He needs a sacrifice for the Ten-Tails and decides to use Kawaki, whose body is close enough to an Otsutsuki's due to Isshiki's Karma being 80% extracted. This means he has to capture Kawaki without killing him, but Kawaki sets himself on fire with a jutsu in order to force Momoshiki to absorb the jutsu's chakra, giving Boruto enough chakra to resist Momoshiki's control.
- When Momoshiki takes control of Boruto's body in the fight against Code, the latter attempts to exploit this by taking Kawaki hostage and pointing out that he can't risk killing his sacrifice. Momoshiki simply shoots Code with his new Spiralling Bullet jutsu.
Character Development: After his death and having possessed Boruto's body, Momoshiki learns to be far more pragmatic and strategic given that he's nowhere near as powerful as he was when he was alive. Previously, he simply relied on absorbing attacks sent at him before using his sheer power to overwhelm anything in his way. Now he chooses to play the long game, biding his time before taking control over Boruto's body when the time is right.
Clone by Conversion: How he initially planned to resurrect himself through Boruto's Karma.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Kaguya had good intentions for her children and humanity before her Motive Decay and fear of the entire clan consumed her while Toneri was motivated by misguided loyalty to his family. In contrast, Momoshiki has no higher goals than stealing power and has no care for his father figure or the rest of his clan. A mentality that the clan grooms the current generation to have.
Cruel Mercy: Rather than die with Boruto, he rewrites some of the Karma data meant to be used to build parts of his own body to instead restore Boruto's heart and lungs. However, this means the Karma data for Momoshiki is now permanently incomplete, preventing his revival. He states he only did this because he wants to see some future grisly fate he has foreseen for Boruto come to pass.
Curbstomp Battle:
- He manages to easily defeat Killer Bee who is a perfect Jinchuriki in order to capture him.
- After absorbs Kinshiki, he effortlessly defeats the other four Kage, before being matched and overwhelmed by Naruto and Sasuke.
- When he possessed Boruto for the first time, he easily defeats and kills the Kara member Boro, though Boruto was low on chakra and had to absorb some of Kurama’s chakra to battle Boro.
Dimensional Traveler: He can somehow access Kaguya's dimension and other worlds, presumably with his Rinnegan.
Death of Personality: Once the Karma takes full control over Boruto, Momoshiki's genetic profile and personality will overwrite and replace Boruto's, effectively erasing Boruto, though he would still retain Boruto's skills and knowledge.
Demonic Possession: It turns out people marked by Karma can become possessed by an Ōtsutsuki. Boruto briefly ends up controlled by Momoshiki when he finally destroys Boro. It gets even worse when it's revealed that the Karma will overwrite Boruto's genetic profile with Momoshiki's, effectively resurrecting Momoshiki and erasing Boruto's personality while still retaining Boruto's knowledge and skills.
- It seems that Boruto needs to be in great discomfort for this to happen, as Momoshiki can't manifest himself whenever he wants.
Devour the Dragon: Absorbs Kinshiki to power up for his confrontation against Naruto and Sasuke.
The Dreaded: Kaguya was so afraid of his eventual arrival that she created the White Zetsu army in preparation in order to fight him.
Early-Bird Cameo: Debuts in the Boruto anime and novel after the Nue arc, shown eating a Chakra fruit with Kinshiki on some other planet, chronologically much earlier than when he arrives during the Chunin Exams from the movie.
Energy Ball: Seems to be fond of this, since he has used attacks that involve this trope every time he fought. Justified in that they are often simply the strongest or most useful attacks available to him.
- In the Boruto movie and its adaptations, he used a giant sphere of chakra (a Bijuu Bomb he had absorbed from the Eight Tails and enhanced) to destroy the chunin exam stadium, and later he used one to attempt to wipe everyone away during the final battle.
- When he first possesed Boruto, he used one of these (a humungous rasengan) to finish off Boro.
- He borrows Boruto's vanishing rasengan to stun Sasuke during his next appearance.
- In chapter 65, he used the massive rasengan thrice, and not only that, he also created a new variant of the rasengan, the rasendan (possibly inspired by the compression rasengan Boruto already knew) and shot it like a bullet, piercing Code's shoulder.
Eyes Do Not Belong There: He has Rinnegan in the palms of his hands. Later gains one on his forehead after absorbing Kinshiki.
Eye Scream: The Rinnegan in Momoshiki's palm that can absorb techniques is gauged out by Sasuke in the final battle with him, leaving him vulnerable to the Boruto's final Rasengan.
- He himself gets to inflict this trope upon someone else when he possess Boruto and stabs Sasuke's Rinnegan with a kunai in revenge.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He is utterly shocked and frustrated when after events that he foretold would take everything away from Boruto come to pass, Boruto, instead of giving up and retreating into his own mind so Momoshiki can take over, instead uses the circumstances as motivation to understand Kawaki more and to better himself.
Evil Counterpart: To Boruto. Like him, he thinks that hard work is for fools and if one simply attains power easily, what more is needed? The major difference is Boruto learns to appreciate the nature and benefits of hard work and abandons this mindset, ultimately becoming a better person in the end; Momoshiki sticks with his mindset and it ultimately gets him killed. Reinforced more when we learn that Momoshiki plans to take over Boruto's body through the Karma.
Evil vs. Evil:
- With Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, who wants to use Momoshiki's essence inside of Boruto to create a new chakra fruit. Momoshiki, meanwhile, also wants the chakra fruit for himself and seeks to do the same with Kawaki once Isshiki kicked the bucket..
- Once Isshiki dies, Code becomes his main competition in obtaining the Chakra Fruit.
Evil Is Petty: In chapter 67 he saves Boruto's life at the expense of his own resurrection, apparently also for the sake of wanting to watch something spectacular and terrible that is going to happen in the near future (Boruto dying would have severed his soul's connection to the living world, so by keeping Boruto alive, even if Momoshiki now can't resurrect, he can still watch what is going to unfold). Simply put, he saved Boruto's life for his own twisted amusement, wanting to see the boy suffer later.
Extra Eyes: Notably, he's to date the only Ōtsutsuki who has eyes embedded on both his palms. Thanks to them, he's capable of absorbing jutsus and shooting them amplified.
- He also gains a 5th eye on his forehead upon transforming in the movie, manga and anime.
Fairytale Motifs: He is inspired by the folklore hero Momotarō the peach boy and his animal shaped attacks of monkey, pheasant and dog are based on the familiars of Momotaro.
Foil: To Kurama. Momoshiki takes a similar role to the one Kurama had in the original series, being a powerful supernatural entity sealed inside the young protagonist, giving him power at the risk of taking over his body and being unleashed. The first difference is that Kurama is ultimately a misunderstood Jerk with a Heart of Gold who came to bond with Naruto over time, while Momoshiki remains a self-serving sociopath who wants to use Boruto for his own ends. There is also a difference in regards of their Superpowered Evil Side status, with Kurama being a looming threat, that would have been freed in case Naruto got weak enough or was killed, and Momoshiki's resurrection being inevitable instead, with little to no hope to prevent it at the moment, except perhaps killing Boruto before the process is complete. Both sacrifice themselves for their hosts, but Kurama does so out of genuine care for Naruto while Momoshiki sacrifices his chance for revival, just to prevent his soul from disappearing from the mortal plane, and also for an opportunity to watch Boruto suffer.
Foreshadowing: Although he had already appeared in the Boruto movie at the time, he was shown in silhouette during Kaguya's flashbacks in the anime, along with Kinshiki and Urashiki. And is alluded to as a threat greater than Kaguya in Naruto Gaiden.
A God Am I: Sees himself as one, as he refers to himself as a god when speaking to Boruto after his first defeat.
Hoist by His Own Petard: His chakra absorption powers thwarted his initial plan to take over Boruto's body, which he could only do so due to the latter's chakra being too drained from the fight with Isshiki to resist Momoshiki's influence. But when Kawaki forces Momoshiki to absorb an attack, it ended up replenishing Boruto's chakra reserves and allow him to resist Momoshiki.
Horned Humanoid: He has a pair of forward-curved horns resembling rabbit ears.
Laughing Mad: Momoshiki devolves into this whenever he's causing pain and/or gets the upper hand on his foes.
Lazy Bum: He is thoroughly against training and building up one's own power, and instead wishes to kill and take someone else's.
Magical Eye: He has the Byakugan and Rinnegan. With his Rinnegan, he's able to absorb Ninjutsu and fire it back at his opponents many times stronger or choose to covert the energy into Chakra Pills to power/heal himself.
My Death Is Just the Beginning: The Karma that Momoshiki gives to Boruto just before his death has the same function as the Karma that Isshiki gave to Jigen (and through Jigen to Kawaki) many years ago. Namely, that it will eventually allow Momoshiki to come back to life through Boruto.
One-Winged Angel: His appearence upon transforming varies depending on the media:
- He turns into a red demonic ogre after absorbing Kinshiki, vastly increasing his raw power and gains the ability to generate weapons for himself. Even Naruto and Sasuke working together barely slowed him down.
- In the novelization instead, he doesn't awaken the Rinnegan on the forehead, and his skin turns black after consuming the last of his pills.
- In the manga and anime, he instead gains black lines across his body and a demonic, but almost regal-like look as well.
Outside-Context Problem: Of Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, being the subject of Sasuke's top-secret investigation.
Planet Eater: An indirect example. He will plant a Shinju on a planet, draining it of all its life and produce a chakra fruit for him to consume.
Powers as Programs: As Boruto noticed, Momoshiki's ability to absorb ninjutsu and fire them back as ammo is very similar to the Kote tool.
Pressure Point: In the Anime version of his fight, he uses taijustu similar to the Hyuuga Clan's Gentle Fist.
Pride: This man oozes this trope all over the place. He constantly looks down on others and has absolutely no respect for others, including his own partner.
Psychopathic Manchild: He shows signs of this during his attack on Konoha, randomly launching his attacks to his surroundings while laughing maniacally. Also, he holds a grudge against Boruto simply for ruining his garments.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: His Rinnegan are blood-red, giving them a striking resemblance to Kaguya's Rinne-Sharingan.
Sadist: Momoshiki destroys the surrounding area around Naruto just because he can and laughs at the thought of innocents dying at his hands.
Skilled, but Naive: Compared to his movie counterpart, Momoshiki in the anime has far more finesse when fighting hand-to-hand, being able to fight using the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist and later a nagitana when fighting Naruto and Sasuke. However, his lack of experience in an actual fight causes him to be overwhelmed by Naruto and Sasuke's coordinated assault.
Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Can create Black chakra rods and later, after absorbing Kinshiki, energy weapons instantly.
The Sociopath: A prideful, narcissistic psychotic that holds no loyalty and is positively gleeful at the thought of killing civilians.
Starter Villain: Of the Boruto movie and manga. Played with because on the Sorting Algorithm of Evil he is one of the most powerful entities in the verse. Not so much later on, when we learn that Boruto's Karma seal is actually a failsafe for Momoshiki to continue living, because he wants to be reincarnated into Boruto. And once Isshiki is defeated, the prospect of his resurrection becomes a threat that Boruto has to deal with.
Superpowered Evil Side: Through the Karma, he eventually becomes one to Boruto. When the seal briefly overrides his body, Boruto becomes Momoshiki both in power and personality, such that his teammates don't recognize him.
Take a Third Option: Chapter 72 reveals Momoshiki has decided to try to do this. Rather than content himself to simply watch Boruto suffer, or die alongside him, he reveals his real plan is to take over Boruto's body after he is traumatized enough by a coming tragedy to simply retreat into his own mind, leaving Momoshiki to take the reins and live out the rest of Boruto's life himself. He notes that since Boruto's body is all Otsuksuki already, the end result will be in effect almost as good as if he revived via the Karma, though he will be stuck in Boruto's form rather than his original form.
This Cannot Be!: Momoshiki's final thought process when Boruto slams his Super Rasengan into him, sending him flying into space and blowing up into nothingness.
Undeathly Pallor: He has chalk-white skin and hair, which coupled with his horns and Byakugan indicate he's a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Ungrateful Bastard: While Kinshiki does insist, Momoshiki still unhesitatingly absorbs his father figure in order to power himself up. The anime even reveals this is a custom/law amongst the clan, Momoshiki referring to it as "the transfer of power".
Unskilled, but Strong: Moreso in the movie, with Sasuke noting that Momoshiki relies on using ninjutsu in his fights and is weaker at taijutsu. Even after boosting his physical strength by absorbing Kinshiki, he noticeably lacks technique finesse when fighting hand-to-hand, spamming Kinshiki's ability to spawn energy weapons as he would do with his ninjutsu. As a result, Naruto and Sasuke were able to overwhelm him thanks to a combination of experience and teamwork.
Variant Power Copying: His Takamimusubinokami ability allows him to absorb ninjutsu through the eye in his right hand and unleash an amplified version of that same jutsu from his left hand.
Villain Takes an Interest: Takes a brief interest in Boruto's destiny upon seeing his future with the Byakugan, but prioritizes his mission first and foremost. When Momoshiki dies he becomes completely invested, hoping to see his cursed fate play out. It's later revealed that the Karma that Boruto gained after defeating him is actually a way for Momoshiki to come back to life. Resurrection is eventually made impossible for Momoshiki, but he still wishes to stay within Boruto's body to watch the fate he predicted come about.
Villain Team-Up: In Chapter 65, he briefly teams up with Kara's leader, Code, in order to take down the Hokage.
White Hair, Black Heart: He has silvery hair and is noted to have no real understanding of things like love.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki

Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (JP), Wally Wingert (EN), Santos Alberto (Latin America, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4)

Debut: Boruto Chapter 2 (Manga), Boruto: Naruto the Movie (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin.png

The loyal servant of Momoshiki, who raised him as a son. Silent, strong and serious to a fault, Kinshiki follows his master wherever he goes and attacks anyone who displeases Momoshiki. Of the two, Kinshiki is more skilled at Taijutsu while Momoshiki is more skilled at Ninjutsu.

Body Horror: His muscles get torn up from breaking out of the Kages' binding jutsu. Despite that, he still has enough strength to chop down his planet's Shinju tree. Averted in the anime and manga where he is instead pulled out of the binding by Momoshiki.
The Brute: He is massive enough for Momoshiki to sit on his shoulder, and skilled in Taijutsu. To give an idea of how skilled he is, he's able to fight Sasuke to a standstill and can briefly fight off several of the Kage off.
Determinator: When the Kages bind him and then corner Momoshiki, he uses all his strength to escape, even though doing so tore up his muscles.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: A minor example. His actual death (turning into a Chakra Fruit and being devoured) is the same, but what leads up to it is different. In the movie version Kinshiki tears his body up freeing himself of the kage's binding, then uses the last of his strength to put some distance between Momoshiki and his opponents before being transformed into the chakra fruit. In the manga and anime series version of these events however, Momoshiki pulls Kinshiki out of the binding with a simple hand gesture, transforming him into a chakra fruit as Kinshiki flies toward him and powering up quickly enough that when Sasuke tries to interrupt the change he is too late.
The Dragon: He's Momoshiki's loyal subordinate.
Early-Bird Cameo: Debuts in the Boruto anime and novel after the Nue arc, with Momoshiki on some other planet that they have "harvested", i.e. drained of life, chronologically much earlier than when he arrives during the Chunin Exams from the movie.
Energy Weapon: Kinshiki is able to generate several weapons from his back to use against his enemies: this includes swords, spears, hammers, axes, etc.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Kinshiki risks his life and body to ensure that Momoshiki is safe and willingly gives up his life to power up Momoshiki. The novel reveals that Kinshiki cares for Momoshiki like a son. Too bad, the feeling is not mutual...
Evil Is Petty: Is hellbent on killing Sasuke for chopping off part of his horn in their first battle.
Fairy Tale Motifs: He is based on the folklore hero Kintaro the Golden Boy, a giant of a youth with supernatural strength raised by a mountain witch to become a warrior of unsurpassed martial skill. The giant axe wielded by Kinshiki is based on the signature weapon of Kintaro.
Horned Humanoid: He has a single sideways sweeping horn resembling Madara's.
Lightning Bruiser: Don't let his size fool you; Kinshiki can keep up with, and sometimes overwhelm, Sasuke in sheer speed. Sasuke would have died in his first tussle against Kinshiki if not for his abilities with the Rinnegan.
Magical Eye: He has the Byakugan.
Super-Strength: Kinshiki's raw strength surpasses even Tsunade and Sakura's. When he first appears in the Chunnin Exam stadium, slamming his fists into the ground while he was in the middle was enough to turn the stadium into rubble. During the climax, Kinshiki swings his spear to fend off the Five Kage and Sasuke, chopping off his planet's Shinju tree like nothing.
Undeathly Pallor: Like Momoshiki, he has pale skin and hair, which along with his horn indicates he's a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: During the fight with Naruto and Sasuke, Momoshiki transforms and eats him to absorb and enhance his powers.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki

Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai (JP) Ben Diskin (EN)

Debut: Boruto Episode 53 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uraa.png

^{Click here to see his transformed appereance}

A member of the Ōtsutsuki clan who was sent to deal with Toneri and act as a scout by orders of the main clan. He arrives simultaneously with Momoshiki and Kinshiki, assisting them as he sees fit and gathering information on just what has happened on Earth since Kaguya's rebellion. When Momoshiki falls, Urashiki continues his plan to hunt down the Tailed Beasts while keeping an eye on Boruto Uzumaki, bearer of Momoshiki's Karma.

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: He mentions that since Toneri is also a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan no matter how divided by dimensions and time, he is forbidden to kill him; so instead he traps him in a time prison. This is also why he is more interested in keeping Boruto alive, albeit in pain, then in killing him outright.
Arc Villain: Of the One-Tails Escort Mission and Time Slip arcs.
Canon Foreigner: He is yet to appear in the manga.
Early-Bird Cameo: He appeared for the first time as a silhouette alongside Momoshiki and Kinshiki in Shippuuden Episode 461, when Kaguya mentions them to Hagoromo and Hamura as an upcoming threat.
Eye Scream: He eats both of his Rinnegan to get a power boost after getting cornered by Boruto, Jiraiya and Naruto.
Fairy Tale Motifs: Urashiki is based on the title character of the Japanese fairy tale Urashima Taro, a fisherman who saved a turtle who then took him to the undersea palace of the dragon king as a reward for his kindness. In the fairytale the Palace of the Dragon King has a Year Inside, Hour Outside time flow which is used as the basis for Urashiki's sealing jutsu which freezes Toneri in time for ten thousand years and his use of a turtle as a time-traveling device. Like Urashima, Urashiki is also a fisherman and wields a fishing rod as his main weapon.
Faux Affably Evil: He speaks very softly and politely, but he has an enormously sadistic attitude. He even feigned to be offended by Mirai's hostility and rudeness when he's being so polite.
Feathered Fiend: His final form as a humanoid white bird-like creature.
For the Evulz: During the Urashiki Returns arc, he attacked and destroyed the home of the farmers who helped Boruto nearly killing the father; when questioned by Boruto on why he did it, he answers that he was just frustrated and destroying the farm amused him and relieved him of his boredom.
Magical Eye: Like the rest of his clan he can use the Byakugan. He can also use Rinnegan, including his own special blue variation that gives him powers of time manipulation. All of them turn golden after his transformation.
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Being a scout, Urashiki isn't as powerful as other Ōtsutsuki members we've seen thus far. But he's still powerful enough to hold his own against Kage-level shinobi, and with his power to manipulate time makes him an especially dangerous opponent.
I Am Not Left-Handed: He kept his full power a secret from Gaara and Chojuro, using his Rinnegan to escape.
Killed Off for Real: Boruto and Naruto used a parent-child rasengan attack to finally defeat him for good. Unlike Momoshiki, Urashiki didn't have the time to put a Karma on anyone, meaning that his death is permanent.
Logical Weakness: When Jiraiya traps Urashiki in the mountain toad's stomach, he tries to escape using his time skip power, but because of this, he winds up succumbing to the stomach's poisonous fumes faster than Jiraiya, Naruto and Boruto do.
One-Winged Angel: After eating his Rinnegan, he transforms into a bird-like humanoid.
Power Copying: He steals other's chakra with his fishing line, storing it within his gourd which allows him to use their power.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: A favorite tactic of his. Urashiki uses his Rinnegan to escape Gaara and Chojuro after being cornered by them during the Chunin Exam arc. He later uses another Rinnegan to escape Sasuke after his scuffle with Boruto and Shinki. Unfortunately it didn't work in his final encounter with Boruto and Naruto.
Time Travel: Small scale. He can invoke a "Temporal Rewind" to turn back time a few seconds and escape.
Villain Takes an Interest: After observing Momoshiki's battle during the Chunin Exam arc, he takes an interest in Boruto. This is because Boruto is now Momoshiki's vessel, something he obliquely refers to at their final confrontation.

Toneri Ōtsutsuki

After being an antagonist in The Last: Naruto the Movie, Toneri tries to make amends. See his entry in Naruto - Ohtsutsuki Clan.

Isshiki Ōtsutsuki

Debut: Boruto Chapter 35 (Manga)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isshikis_appearance1.png

"All people have a predestined fate"

A member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who used Jigen as a vessel and is the true leader of Kara. He came to Earth with Kaguya.

For tropes as they relate to Jigen, see his profile on the Kara page here

A Father to His Men: Surprisingly, towards Code. After dying his spirit appears to him through his White Karma, imparting some final words to him; wanting him to carry on his plans/The Otsutsuki’s will after his death. Notable in that most Otsutsuki members think very little of and look down on humans, Isshiki himself included.
Abusive Parents: The guy experimented on his adoptive son, right after "saving" Kawaki from his real father.
Badass Longcoat: Favors a long open chested jacket with his personal emblem stamped across the back. He summons it immediately once he is revived.
Big Bad: He’s the true mastermind behind Kara and he was using Jigen as a vessel to keep himself alive after Kaguya betrayed him.
Boring, but Practical: Unlike Kaguya or Momoshiki, Isshiki doesn't rely on grandiose techniques with destructive power. Similar to Obito before him, he mainly relies on skillfully applying his power to shrink objects and weapons to catch his opponents off guard as well as taijutsu. This is how he fares much better than either Otsutsuki in his fight against Naruto and Sasuke.
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: After Isshiki goes out of his way to avoid landing a fatal attack on him, Boruto deduces that Isshiki won't kill him because the former having a Karma seal means the latter will want him alive for his plans, which is confirmed very quickly when Boruto threatens to kill himself. Amado reveals that a Ten-Tails can only bloom into a Divine Tree if a living Ōtsutsuki is sacrificed to it, and while Isshiki originally intended to feed himself in Jigen's body to his Ten-Tails once Kawaki was fully prepared as his vessel, learning that Boruto has been marked with a Karma seal by Momoshiki has made Isshiki decide to make Boruto the sacrifice instead because a stronger and healthier sacrifice will produce a more powerful Chakra Fruit. Unfortunately for Boruto, Isshiki makes it clear that just because he won't kill him doesn't mean he won't severely injure him if that will make him easier to capture, proving his point by casually breaking Boruto's arm as he says this.
Curb-Stomp Battle: In his second battle with Naruto and Sasuke, he dominates them both. While it is unclear just how much the two had recovered from the previous match that left them greatly weakened, neither get to even use their many techniques before Isshiki incapacitates them. He then gets on the receiving end when Naruto enters Baryon Mode.
Curb-Stomp Cushion: He defeats Naruto and Sasuke in their first battle, but exhausts himself to such a degree in the process that he opts to not kill Naruto as it would cost too much of his remaining strength. He is still left in such a drained state that even after resting for days he is still weakened so much (barely at 10% of his usual strength) that Amado and Koji are able to put their own plan into action.
Deader than Dead: After his physical death, he has a final conversion with Code before his soul completely vanishes.
Deal with the Devil: He convinced Amado to join him with the promise to see his daughter again after helping him achieve his goal. Given what would have happened once completed, it's possible that he never intended to keep his promise.
Demonic Possession: Currently controlling the body of Jigen as something of a brain parasite, the leader of Kara. Upon the death of Jigen's body, Isshiki takes over the corpse and turns it fully into his own body. Kawaki has been groomed as his ideal vessel that he seeks to do the same thing to.
Disc-One Final Boss: Just after he's finally dispatched, his spirit appears to Code and informs him of the current events and encourages him to continue his plans and evolve into an Otsutsuki, with Code to take his place as the main threat.
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Amado states that if Isshiki successfully takes over a suitable host, the world will have no chance against him. This assertion is supported by how Isshiki is presented as powerful even by his own clan's standards (Momoshiki noting he can't believe it when Isshiki is beaten), and that while his raw powers do not reach Kaguya's levels, Naruto and Sasuke no longer have the seals that allowed them to defeat Kaguya either, meaning they have to actually find a way to kill Isshiki (whereas with Kaguya they didn't have to do this because she had Complete Immortality). Fortunately, he's in Jigen's less suitable body, which means using his incredible power will start breaking him. When he does activate a Karma to revive himself, he's forced to use Jigen's Karma, reviving him at full power but also in a state where he has only a few days to live.
The Dreaded: His mere existence is enough to scare Sasuke into a Not So Stoic moment.
Evil Laugh: He laughs after he seemingly puts the karma back on Kawaki.
The Faceless: Serves as this throughout his initial appearances from Chapter 36 to 47. During these sporadic appearances, he is always shown to the audience from an angle that obscures his face, hinting at something unique about him. When we finally do see his face, we discover that he has a never-before-seen ocular jutsu in his right eye.
Fairy Tale Motifs: Like the other members of the main Ōtsutsuki family, Isshiki is named for a fairy tale character, in this case Issun Kotaro, also known as Issun-Boshi. Like the diminutive Issun, Isshiki's fights with needle-like weapons and has the power to shrink himself. The symbol on the back of his jacket is that of the magic hammer wielded by Issun.
The Fatalist: His very first quote, once revealed, implies this. Admittedly, he isn't exclusively pessimistic about it, as he respects that Jiraiya died in service to a cause greater then himself. Furthermore, he believes his ultimate victory to be destined. Given the Flash Forward...
Isshiki: All genes, all people have a predestined fate. That man bore a mighty fate... a star of change. Now I understand. Amado had wanted to cling to it. To that man's mighty fate... to the minescule possibility of change. Kashin Koji, clone of Jiraiya of the great three. That you shall die here, was also predestined by your genes!
Faux Affably Evil: Upon entering Naruto's house, he apologizes for entering with shoes on and claims he's trying to bring back his wayward son. He then attempts to kidnap Kawaki while abusing him physically and emotionally. Admittedly, it's not entirely an act: he genuinely was sorry. It's just that he didn't care enough to stay sorry for very long. This actually applies to many interactions he has with characters in the series: moments of politeness followed by senseless brutality.
Foil: To Orochimaru. Both are crazy scientists whose experiments are out of this world and bring suffering to others at large when abused. Both also have otherworldly powers that make them a huge threat when confronted. Both have "sons" that they experimented on to give them more power, and have taken efforts to groom a host suitable for them. However, Orochimaru has made a switch to good and became an ally that can provide intel our heroes can't get on their own. In his own way, his actions were genuinely meant to help Mitsuki grow. His experiments favor organic technology. Isshiki, on the other hand, couldn't care less about Kawaki and only seeks to enhance himself. His own experiments favor ninja tech.
Fragile Speedster: Downplayed as you still need to be quite powerful to pose a threat to him, but Isshiki seems notably frailer than other enemies that share or approach his power level. Where the likes of Obito, Madara, Kaguya, and Momoshiki could take a ton of damage and only be inconvenienced by it, Isshiki suffered what would have been fatal wounds from apparently a single surprise attack (admittedly said surprise attack came from Kaguya, but this was most likely before she had even made the chakra fruit's powers all her own), and Naruto's Baryon Mode has him reeling from only a few hits even before he realizes it's life-draining properties. Notably though he is so good at avoiding taking damage in the first place that this comparative frailty usually isn't much of a weakness, his fighting style focusing heavily on agility and reducing the enemy's movements rather than on launching huge jutsus that could leave him open to counters. This frailty is also potentially justified by him having a unsuitable vessel, especially considering that what worried him about the Baryon mode were the aforementioned life-draining properties, not really the attacks Naruto inflicted him.
Grand Theft Me: The Karma is a seal which allows Otsutsuki clan members to possess and be reincarnated into other people. Jigen was marked by Isshiki a long time ago as an emergency vessel after he sacrificed half of himself into the Divine Tree, while Kawaki is the perfect vessel that Isshiki plans to possess in the near future. Notably, the Karma doesn't allow him to choose who to use as a body, in case he had more than one vessel at the same time, and this weakness ends up playing a part in his downfall, as Kawaki was not yet fully ready to be used as a vessel, when the resurrection process started, thus forcing him to ressurect in the less than ideal body of Jigen.
Greater-Scope Villain: He's the one who gave Jigen his Karma, slowly turning the once human Jigen into a real Ōtsutsuki. It is said that should he regain his full strength in a body that can handle the power, he will become unstoppable. He is eventually revealed to have been around since ancient times and in fact was Kaguya's partner before she turned on him, making him a threat on par with her in scope. Also seems to be this for Code as even though Isshiki failed he encourages Code to continue his plans and evolve himself into an Otsutsuki.
Half the Man He Used to Be: Kaguya bisected him when he dropped his guard, but he barely survived by hijacking an unlucky monk's body (Jigen).
Hyperspace Arsenal: Has one. Literally. His powers grant him access to a pocket dimension where he stores items he shrinks for later use. Time does not pass within it. He makes liberal use of it both in and out of combat, summoning a dinner table, candles, a wine bottle, and a fully cooked meal out of thin air to replace the ones Delta had just destroyed.
Incredible Shrinking Man: He can shrink himself and any non-living thing, making it hard for anyone other than Sasuke to keep track of his movements.
Invincible Villain: While he doesn't exhibit the same kind of destructive jutsus as Kaguya before him, Isshiki is still capable of beating down Naruto and Sasuke (the two strongest shinobi in the world) without breaking a sweat, and notably, with his Sukunahikona and Daikokuten abilities, he's able to shrink and store away literally anything thrown at him that isn't organic and living, effectively neutralizing almost every possible attack that may be used against him. It's quite telling how much of an invincible figure he is, if Naruto’s Baryon Mode was the only thing that was able to turn the tables, allowing Naruto to beat him up like a rag doll. And even then, the reason it worked wasn't because of the hits Naruto inflicted him, but because of the fact the Baryon Mode reduced his lifespan enough that his body started falling apart, due to resurrecting in Jigen's body, before he could ensure his revival in Kawaki.
Karmic Death: Isshiki's actions make the circumstances leading to his death very fitting and well-deserved.
- Isshiki stole Jigen's body to survive and is implied to have kept his mind a prisoner within his body for centuries, forcing Jigen to experience agony as Isshiki kept it alive through unnatural means and abused it by forcing it to use his power, all the while mocking him for his body's weakness. When Isshiki has to use his Karma to resurrect himself, he's forced to use Jigen's incompatible body and is left living on borrowed time.
- Isshiki abused and raised Kawaki to be his vessel, all the while mocking him for thinking he could be anything more than that by becoming a ninja. Kawaki manages to take advantage of his desperation by tricking him into wasting his remaining time branding a Shadow Clone, and mockingly lampshades that a mere vessel managed to defeat him with such a simple trick before dealing the finishing blow.
Keeping the Enemy Close: He had reservations about Amado and Koji Kashin for some time before their betrayal. However, he also made full use of their respective skill sets in that time, giving them assignments that allowed him to ascertain their true loyalties.
Like a God to Me: Isshiki’s most loyal servant, Code, views him as one.
Love Is a Weakness: While he has some understanding of human relationships and values loyalty, he regards actually caring about anyone's wellbeing above your own as foolish. Notably he mocks Kawaki for coming out of hiding when Isshiki threatens to rip Naruto apart, stating Kawaki's familial love for Naruto has done nothing but ensure Kawaki's own death.
Mad Scientist: His lair and minions give off a creepy atmosphere similar to Part 1 and early Part 2 Orochimaru; the man knows the human body and conducted unethical experiments on numerous victims.
Magical Eye: Besides the Byakugan in his left eye, he has a unique right eye that resembles a camera aperture, and it's seemingly the source of his size-shifting abilities.
Male Might, Female Finesse: Played with and inverted with his partner Kaguya. For while they are both extremely powerful and capable of ending the world, Isshiki does not appear to possess the casual apocalypse-level power Kaguya wielded after devouring the whole Chakra Fruit of Earth's God Tree on her own, and everything we see him do, while being tremendously impressive against any other character, is still on a smaller scale than the things Kaguya accomplished. On the other hand, Isshiki displays much greater skill and technique when fighting, allowing him to be just as difficult to handle for Naruto and Sasuke (if not even more) without any need for instant kill moves or world-ending jutsu. Kaguya infamously seemed to lack much knowledge of tactics or skill, relying on sheer power and advice from Black Zetsu.
Mysterious Past: While we do know about what he was doing when he arrived on Earth, just what he's been doing for most of the past thousand years has as yet not been touched upon. We know nothing about if he was aware of Black Zetsu and Kaguya's plans or what he thought of them, what, if any, role he's played in shinobi history, etc. The Kara organization itself seems to only be a couple decades old at most, and the technology Isshiki uses to help him gain a perfect host is mostly recently invented as well, making it all the more unclear what he may have been doing all those centuries. All the more confusing given how powerful he is even in Jigen's body, yet he's seemingly done nothing with all that power until recently.
- Chapter 75 reveals that he approached a distraught Amado shortly after he realized he couldn't truly revive his daughter Akebi, and convinced the man to join his side in exchange of him reuniting him with her, once his goal was completed.
Near-Villain Victory: He manages to successfully implant his Karma onto Kawaki just moments before his body crumbles away. That is until he finds out that it wasn't the real Kawaki he implanted his Karma on.
Not So Stoic: He finally loses his cool when he realizes Naruto's Baryon Mode has given him just minutes to live, throttling Naruto in impotent rage. He then yells for Kawaki to come out of hiding or else he’ll start tearing Naruto apart. Isshiki even laughs after he supposedly puts the Karma back on Kawaki.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: Compared to many other villains in the series, Isshiki proves to be this. He has no interest in testing his powers, proving some kind of philosophical or moral point to his opponents (unless he is sure he has already won), nor does he have any reason to try to keep Naruto or Sasuke alive as his goals have nothing to do with obtaining their powers. Thus he tries to avoid fighting them, and when he does decide to fight he fights to win and end the fight as quickly as possible. He does admit he sometimes enjoys himself when fighting, but he doesn't let it distract from his goal.
No-Sell: With his karma he can absorb any ninjutsu, including Amateratsu. He can also break through the defensive chakra cloaks of Susanoo and Kurama with ease.
Out-Gambitted: When Kawaki manages to escape from Isshiki with Sasuke and Naruto's help, the Ōtsutsuki Clan member forces him to come out of hiding by threatening Naruto's life. Kawaki tries to take him on by himself, only for Isshiki to easily reach him and mock him for thinking he could be anything more than a vessel before branding him with another Karma seal. Isshiki learns too late however that he actually branded a Shadow Clone, making the seal useless, and lives just long enough for the real Kawaki to mock him by telling him a mere "vessel" managed to defeat him with a simple ninja trick.
Puppeteer Parasite: According to Amado, rather than immediately incarnate himself into him, Isshiki shrunk himself and embedded himself in Jigen's brain to control him and feed on his vital fluids (as turning Jigen into him would give Isshiki only a few days to live).
Pragmatic Villain: As smart as he is strong, Isshiki tends to approach things practically, such as trying to avoid a fight with Naruto while he attempted to retrieve Kawaki. Isshiki could have potentially destroyed him outright, but there was no value in it at the time, as he would be wasting precious time and consuming too much energy.
Sizeshifter: Not only is he the source of Jigen's sizeshifting abilities, he shrank himself in order to enter Jigen's ear and directly control his brain. He is capable of shrinking everything that is in his sight, as long as it is inorganic, and to retrieve it when he wants it.
Smug Snake: Nothing fazes the guy and he's so arrogant that things will go his way, he really doesn't mind when it seems that his plans are failing. He only loses the smugness when he realizes he no longer has any failsafes remaining for his plans and begins desperately trying to think of a way to still win.
The Stoic: Few things can exert more than a slightly amused smirk or annoyed scowl from him.
Too Powerful to Live: Played straight and taken literally. Amado warns the heroes that if Isshiki is allowed to resurrect himself in the ideal vessel he would be unstoppable by human means (as while Naruto and Sasuke can oppose his full power, they can't do so for long, nor can they win with the powers available to them). Which is why they have to take advantage of Isshiki being forced to resurrect himself in Jigen's body and prevent him from implanting another Karma onto Kawaki long enough for Jigen's body to be overwhelmed by Isshiki's power and truly kill him for good.
Transformation of the Possessed:
- Transforms Jigen's body to look like his original one.
- Despite his Karma being removed from Kawaki, the changes made to his body by the Karma still remain, making Kawaki genetically similar enough to an Otsutsuki (around 80% similar) to be fed to the Ten Tails.
Victory by Endurance: How he's defeated, not by overpowering or sealing him, but by stalling for time until Jigen's incompatible body becomes overwhelmed by Isshiki's own power. Naruto's Baryon Mode shaving off Isshiki's already short lifespan even further helped.
Villainous Breakdown: Starts to go into one when Naruto's Baryon Mode get the upper hand over him and drastically shortens his remaining lifespan into minutes. The usually-composed Isshiki actually panics and lashes out verbally at Naruto while manually strangling him in utter rage and desperation, insulting Naruto as a "lower creature" and other such language that he had formerly avoided compared to the more hot blooded Momoshiki. However, Isshiki doesn't totally lose himself to panic and manages to turn the tables once more, somewhat subverting the trope for the time being. When his last ditch plan backfires and the situation turns against him for the last time, he is in too much shock and too weak to have a breakdown.
Undignified Death: His final moments are spent on the ground in pain as Jigen's body falls apart from Isshiki's power, still unable to comprehend the fact that he was defeated. To rub salt to the wound, he wasn't undone by some powerful technique, but a mere shadow clone.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He doesn't wear any shirt under his coat.
Wine Is Classy: The man isn't resurrected five minutes before he summons a glass of wine to drink while standing over the broken body of his enemy, just to illustrate a point.
Would Hurt a Child: Given his plan is to have everyone on Earth die this trope is a given, but in more detail:
- Despite calling himself the adoptive father of Kawaki, this didn't stop him from transforming the boy into a weapon.
- He also plans to feed the Karma-boosted Boruto to the Ten-Tails so it can use his nutrients to grow into another Divine Tree.
- He emphasizes to Boruto that him needing the boy to stay alive for the above sacrifice doesn't mean he has any problem with hurting him. He then proceeds to break his arm, and then his back too, all to ensure the boy is no longer able to even try to run from him.
Your Days Are Numbered: According to Amado, him taking possession of Jigen's body means he only has a few days to find a more suitable vessel, before his body degenerates from Isshiki's enormous power.

Spoiler Character

Shibai Ōtsutsuki

Debut: Boruto Chapter 75 (Manga)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xxx_58.png

An ancient member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who successfuly managed to become a god after thousands of years spent consuming chakra fruits while cheating death with the karma. His corpse was found by Amado and he is also the origin of several other character's special abilities, including Eida's Senrigan and Daemon's abilities.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Given the sheer power he wielded after thousands of years of evolving himself through many incarnations, it's speculated by Amado that he didn't actually die but reached a state where he transcended any need for a physical body and simply left it behind.
Extra Eyes: He has a Rinnegan for a third eye in his forehead.
Horned Humanoid: As usual for every Otsutsuki. In his case, he has 2 horns protruding upwards from his temples,
Human Resources: His corpse was used to transplant several of his powers onto other people, Eida's Senrigan, Daemon's strength and attack reflection. Collectively, his abilities are referred to as Shinjutsu.
Magical Eye: From what little of his appearence was shown, he seems to have 3 eyes. In his case, he seems to have a Byakugan in his right eye, the Senrigan in his left eye, and a Rinnegan in the eye on his forehead. Additionally, the Senrigan that Eida gained is derived from his DNA.
Posthumous Character: He doesn’t appear in the main story, as he was theorized to have transcended his physical form, while the remains of his body was found by Amado and used to create several cyborgs that have some of his abilities.
