The Rasengan is still an incredibly relevant jutsu in Boruto Uzumaki's time. The Boruto the series continues to expand on Naruto Uzumaki's signature techniques, introducing new and powerful Rasengan variants that can obliterate enemies in an instant. One of these new variants is the Rasengan Uzuhiko, which Boruto Uzumaki learned with the help of Kashin Koji's foresight during the time jump.
Naruto: 8 Strongest Dojutsu, Ranked
Here are the most powerful dojutsu in Naruto, ranked from weakest to strongest.
Among the many variations of the Rasengan in both Naruto and Borutoonly a few compare to Uzuhiko's power. In theory, Rasengan Uzuhiko is infused with virtually unlimited power, drawn from the planet's chakra. As such, these weaker Rasengan variants are clearly inferior to Boruto's Uzuhiko.

Vanishing Rasengan
The Rasengan built for deception
When it comes to Rasengan variants perfect for surprise attacks, Boruto's Vanishing Rasengan is undeniably one of the best. It's a trick variant that disappears mid-flight and unexpectedly reappears before impact, all thanks to the lightning chakra that Boruto subconsciously instills in the jutsu.
However, while the Vanishing Rasengan is great for sneak attacks and surprise attacks, it pales in comparison to the Rasengan Uzuhiko, which not only draws power from a much larger energy source, but also leaves a sustained effect instead of a one-time attack.

Rasengan: Lightning
Fusion of Wind and Tailed Beast Energy
IN The Last: Naruto the MovieNaruto Uzumaki infused Kurama's chakra into his standard Wind Release: Rasengan to come up with another variation, the Rasengan: Flash. It is similar in size to a standard Rasengan but has a noticeable spiral wind around it.
Naruto shoots it out as a beam that can cut through explosions and even uses it for aerial propulsion. Considering its applications, it is clear that it is no match for Rasengan Uzuhiko's debilitating power. Much like the Vanishing Rasengan, it prioritizes utility over overwhelming power.

Twin Rasengan
Naruto's Dual Rasengan Attack
In battle, there is no such thing as too many Rasengan, and unleashing two at once with the Twin Rasengan jutsu is a reliable way to secure a decisive victory. With this technique, Naruto Uzumaki literally wields a Rasengan in each hand. Sometime in Naruto the movie 2, Naruto was able to use the Gelel Rasengan and the Demon Fox Rasengan at the same time.
Later in the original series, Naruto was aided by his clones, allowing him to form two Rasengan at the same time with greater ease. Too bad Boruto doesn't need two Rasengan to overwhelm his enemies with Uzuhiko. He simply needs a Rasengan Uzuhiko to send his enemies away.

Rasendan
A Rasengan with enormous power at long range
The Rasendan, otherwise known as the Spiraling Bullet, is an advanced variant used by Momoshiki Otsutsuki Boruto. Unlike most Rasengan variants, which have a short range, the Rasendan is fired as a ranged attack. It is one of the fastest variations in the series and clearly one of the most unavoidable jutsu.
But still, compared to Uzuhiko's overall ability, Rasendan falls short. Although it introduces a long-range Rasengan variant, it lacks the power to take down opponents decisively, unlike Uzuhiko.

Magnet Drop: The Rasengan
A Rasengan that immobilizes enemies on contact
In Naruto Uzumaki's Sage of Six Paths form, he gained the ability to create a Rasengan infused with Shukaku's chakra, giving rise to the Magnet Release: Rasengan variant. Designed to instantly seal an opponent's movements, it can immobilize targets on contact and stands as one of the most striking Rasengan variants in the series.
Meanwhile, when it comes to immobilizing an opponent's movements, Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko clearly has the advantage. With its debilitating effects, it can disorient anyone, preventing them from using jutsu or even keeping their balance. The worst part is that the effect has no clear end unless Boruto chooses to deactivate it.

Rasengan: Unison
Boruto and Kawaki's combined karma power
In order to perform the Rasengan: Unison, it is crucial to have a trusted partner that Boruto knows will have his back at all costs. At the time, the trusted partner was Kawaki Uzumaki, who shared his karma power with Boruto to enhance his Rasengan and blast Boro's upper body to pieces.
Unfortunately, this variant of the Rasengan is not powerful enough to penetrate a sand shield or a water column, at least in one of Naruto's licensed games. Therefore, it goes without saying that Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko is a much more effective choice for besting opponents even more powerful than Boro.
2
Compression Rasengan
A Rasengan designed to penetrate defenses
Before mastering the Rasengan Uzuhiko, Boruto Uzumaki developed the Compression Rasengan and its advanced form, the Super Compression Rasengan. This new variant is designed to penetrate even the most impenetrable armor and defenses, allowing him to knock out powerful foes. Using the Compression Rasengan is not for the faint of heart though, as the recoil is no joke.
Despite the Compression Rasengan's impressive penetration power, it is far inferior to Rasengan Uzuhiko's debilitating effects. Uzuhiko isn't designed just to break through defenses and knock out opponents but to trap Boruto's targets in an endless state of trance until their bodies give out and die in the process. In addition to that, the Uzuhiko produces minimal recoil, if any, for the user.

Baryon Rasengan
Impact blew away Isshiki Otsutsuki
Among Naruto Uzumaki's forms in both Naruto and BorutoBaryon Mode stands as one of the most powerful, though it comes with serious consequences. In this state, Naruto unleashes a Rasengan powerful enough to blast Isshiki Otsutsuki away. In fact, Isshiki was so overwhelmed that he never managed to shrink Naruto's Baryon Rasengan at all.
While the Baryon Rasengan may be one of Naruto Uzumaki's strongest Rasengan variants, Uzuhiko still surpasses its concept, impact, and sustained destructive potential. Unfortunately, as the battle continues, the Baryon Rasengan gradually loses power compared to Uzuhiko, which operates on a theoretically unlimited scale.
