{"id":"kote","name":"Kote, the scientific gauntlet","japanese":"科学忍具籠手","category":"science","subtitle":"Techniques stored in single-use scrolls.","summary":"A gauntlet that releases techniques stored in loaded scrolls. Developed by Katasuke's team, it lets users perform techniques without mastering them.","facts":[["Tipo","Ninja technology"],["Portadores destacados","2 in the archive"],["Límite","The weapon does not define the user"]],"lvl":0,"sections":[{"h":"Techniques in cartridges","t":"The kote, shinobi gauntlet or Shinobigote, is a scientific tool created by Katasuke's team in Konoha's scientific weaponry division. It works with a capacitor: scrolls with sealed techniques are loaded like cartridges, and a one-handed sign is enough to release them. The chakra comes from the capacitor, not the user, so it lets people use techniques without mastering them. Kishimoto had already conceived of it before Naruto began.","lvl":2},{"h":"Boruto cheats","t":"Katasuke wants the kote allowed in the Chūnin Exams and Naruto refuses. Even so, he offers Boruto a prototype. Boruto uses it in secret against the Mist triplets and against Shikadai, winning with techniques that are not his. Naruto discovers the deception, disqualifies him in front of everyone and takes his headband. Having the gauntlet gives no training or chakra control; Boruto's case sets up the series' debate.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-5","pos":705},{"h":"Against Momoshiki","t":"When Momoshiki attacks the stadium, the Kage face him and he absorbs their techniques with the Rinnegan in his hands. Momoshiki had already absorbed the techniques stored in the gauntlet, and the fight shows the resource's limit: what is not your own can be taken away. Boruto ends up facing him with a Rasengan of his own, alongside Naruto and Sasuke. After the disqualification, Boruto stops looking for shortcuts and trains seriously with Sasuke, and in this fight he wins with something of his own.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-8","pos":708},{"h":"Ao and the variants","t":"There are more models: the Type-3 is built into Ao's prosthetic arm, with a chakra blade emitter, and the Type-5 Garō has claws and a cannon. Ao, now on Kara's side, fights with scientific weapons against Boruto, Kawaki and Konohamaru. Mugino sacrifices himself in that attack, and Ao ends up defeated. Garō is an upgrade built for combat, with claws and a cannon, confirming that the scientific models grew more and more elaborate. Ao's kote shows that these tools also serve those who betray their village.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-22","pos":722},{"h":"Science in defense","t":"Scientific tools later join Konoha's defense. Katasuke keeps improving the models, and the anime shows the kote in other hands, such as Akita's and Kawaki's. The scientific team goes from controversial supplier to a fixture of the village, without the kote replacing training. The tool that began as an exam cheat is now part of the series' arsenal, for allies and enemies alike.","lvl":2,"ep":"boruto-184","pos":720}],"characters":["boruto","katasuke"],"related":["herramientas","boruto-generacion","kaminarimon","examenes-chunin","herramientas-cientificas-ninja","sellos-de-manos"],"reference":"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, manga, chapters 5–9 (Chūnin Exams).","sources":[{"title":"Guía oficial de anime: Boruto","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime"},{"title":"Boruto: familia y primeros pasos del Equipo 7","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1745"}],"figures":[]}
