Sarada's immunity to Omnipotence in Boruto may be thanks to Sakura's training with Tsunade

Boruto fans have often wondered why Eida's ability doesn't impact Sarada and Sumire. This power permits her to change and control the memories of almost everyone, working through alterations in their minds and memories. Sarada and Sumire, whom this power doesn't affect, see things differently than others. They are unique because they remember things as they occurred in reality.

Omnipotence is a unique method solely available to the gods, enabling them to accomplish their desires. Some clarify it as a method for deities to fashion worlds and materialize anything they want. Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki even refers to it as the most powerful technique of its kind.

A fascinating fan theory attempts to offer a reason for this. If it holds true, it might bring significant changes to the narrative for Sarada, Sumire, and Eida.

The real reason why Eida's power doesn't affect Sarada in Boruto, explained

This Boruto theory says that Sarada's mother Sakura's training under Tsunade and the relationship between Byakugou Seal and Karma could be why she has a special resistance. Readers got this idea from Chapter 35 of the manga when Sarada thought about it because both seals have similar shapes.

Even though Kawaki didn't agree with this possibility at that time, Mitsuki backed up his claim by mentioning how much information Orochimaru held. This hinted at an intricate history of the seal, which still remains unknown. Sakura also verified it, saying that the Byakugou Seal is from the time of Sage Six Paths.

The Byakugou Seal and Karma share a few likenesses, suggesting that the Byakugou could potentially be considered a lower version of Karma. Both seals can store chakra, increase the physical abilities of their user, and grow into marks with a diamond-like appearance. This connection strengthens the concept that Sarada's resistance to omnipotence might be linked with her acquiring effects from the Byakugou Seal she receives via her mother Sakura.

However, if Sarada's immunity is connected to the seal, why aren't Sakura and Tsunade unaffected by it? The response can be found in where Sarada comes from. She acquires not just Sakura's blood but also Sasuke's.

In her, the substance of the Byakugou Seal mixes with the potent Uchiha line and a bit of chakra from Sage of Six Paths. This unique mix could lift Sarada to a level of resistance that surpasses what her parents have reached.

Yet another counterpoint is that the Byakugou Seal in Boruto doesn't transfer across generations. Even though the seal might not be inherited itself, its power does carry over.

The great strength Sakura has, which she gained from this seal, gets passed on to Sarada. Also, Sarada's exceptional skills could be because of the Uzumaki clan's wide chakra supplies and strong healing powers connected to the old Byakugou no Jutsu method.

Final thoughts

In Boruto, Eida can change memories. Most people become submissive under her power, but Sarada and Sumire keep their original memories. An interesting theory could explain this special resistance. The thought is, that Sarada's resistance could come from her mother, Sakura, who was taught by Tsunade.

The same was introduced in Chapter 35 when Sarada observed the likeness in seals. With a mixture of Sakura's Byakugou-strengthened power, Sasuke's Uchiha family line, and some Chakra from Sage of Six Paths, Sarada has an unusual ancestry. This gives her this uncommon resistance, which holds notable narrative possibilities for the series.
