In the Boruto anime, Kawaki appears as a friend of Boruto after being taken in by Naruto. Together, both Kawaki and Boruto compete to be the best ninja. In the series, Kawaki is a particularly strong ninja, and thanks to his various body modifications, can perform almost superhuman attacks.
In the game, Kawaki can utilize Ninjutsu: Karma Linchpin (Strange Taste) to absorb and nullify an opponent’s Ninjutsu, and Ninjutsu: Scientific Ninja Tool Imperial Wrath to chain a tackle into a powerful slash attack. His Secret Technique: Karma Linchpin (Ritual Destruction) move allows Kawaki to transform his arm to pierce a single opponent and follow-up with a devastating explosion.
Despite releasing nearly four years ago, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker has continued to release a ton of content into the game. Its latest Season Pass 4 pack introduced four new characters — Sakura Haruno (Great Ninja War), Nagato (Reanimation), Itachi Uchia (Reanimation), and Sasuke Uchiha (Last Battle) — into the game. Kawaki will mark the last of the batch. Currently, there is no information on whether or not a Season Pass 5 will release for the game.
