Shibai Otsutsuki is revered as a god among the Otsutsuki clan. By reviving himself over untold millennia and consuming countless Chakra Fruits, he is said to have evolved into a true deity whose reality-warping Shinjutsu later pass in fragments to the members of Kara.
Shibai cuts a lean figure draped in ragged black robes, his long hair spilling down to the small of his back. A pair of horns sweep upward from his head like a crown. A Byakugan sits in his right eye, while a Rinnegan splits open vertically on his forehead, echoing the eyes Momoshiki gained after absorbing Kinshiki and the ones Kaguya took on after eating Chakra Fruit.
Little of Shibai's inner character survives beyond his ruthlessness. Across countless ages he kept reviving himself through the power of Kama and devoured a great many Chakra Fruits, and reaching that harvest meant laying waste to world after world. The lives snuffed out to feed his ascension seem to have meant nothing to him. In time he was judged to have crossed over into true godhood, his powers spoken of as divine miracles.
Once he attained his supposed divinity, Shibai's techniques earned the name Shinjutsu. Wielded without a single hand seal, they were said to summon storms with a mere gesture and call down lightning with a shout. His repertoire included gazing through time, opening black bands that let him cross vast distances in an instant, turning all harm back on whoever inflicted it, and bending reality to whatever he wished through sheer omnipotence. Amado later theorized that Shibai had climbed to a higher plane and cast his body aside, a claim Momoshiki quietly confirmed to Boruto. Amado eventually recovered those physical remains and spliced Shibai's DNA into the members of Kara, hoping to grant them fragments of his Shinjutsu, though only Code, Ada, Daemon, and, after a brush with death, Koji Kashin ever manifested any.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Shibai Otsutsuki does not appear directly onscreen; he exists as a legendary, godlike ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan whose remains and Shinjutsu abilities factor into the Boruto story through Amado's research and the Kara organization.
Shibai Otsutsuki is depicted as ruthless rather than good, having laid waste to world after world to fuel his ascension to godhood with seemingly no regard for the lives lost.
No, Shibai Otsutsuki is deceased. After reaching what is described as true godhood, he discarded his physical body, which Amado later recovered.
Known as Shinjutsu, Shibai's techniques let him summon storms and call down lightning without hand seals, gaze through time, open portals for instant travel across vast distances, turn harm back on attackers, and reshape reality through near-total omnipotence.
Amado recovered Shibai's discarded remains and spliced his DNA into members of Kara, hoping to grant them fragments of his Shinjutsu, though only Code, Ada, Daemon, and eventually Koji Kashin ever manifested any of that power.
