Boruto is a new gen ichigo for a few reasons imo (thread below):
So lets talk about their goals, ichigo wants to get strong just so he can protect his friends and family members and thats very similar to boruto however boruto not only wants to protect his friends but also to protect the hokage from the shadows.
Another thing thats similar between the two is that they're both prodigies, they both can learn things alot quicker than others but generally speaking thats not enough to protect their friends.
You also have the whole genetic thing thats similar between the two, boruto is hyuga, uzumaki, otsutsuki, obviously human etc, as for ichigo i wont really go into it since that will be a gigantic spoiler but if yknow than yknow.
And if i can go on than i could mention the whole zangetsu and momoshiki thing between these teo but i guess you can make the argument that zangetsu is more like kurama and sukuna.
Let me know what you think of this thread, im curious to hear your thoughts.
