Kawaki and Isshiki Otsutsuki share a long history together. Through Jigen, Isshiki changed Kawaki's life forever in an attempt to raise him as his perfect vessel. From planting Karma into Kawaki to training him in secret, Isshiki carefully molded Kawaki into a vessel most likely to withstand his immense Otsutsuki powers.
However, with Konoha's intervention, along with the betrayal of Amado and Kashin Koji, Isshiki not only lost Kawaki but died in the process. Instead of Boruto or Naruto delivering the final blow to Isshiki, it was Kawaki who outsmarted Isshiki with a shadow clone, resulting in Isshiki failing to save the ship in time.

Kawaki exchanges introductions with Boruto
As predicted by Momoshiki, Boruto Uzumaki lost everything important to him in the series. From his parents sealed in the Daikokuten Dimension, his sister Himawari, the shinobi of Konoha who now seek him out, and even his sense of personal identity, Boruto has lost virtually everything that once defined his world and his place in it.
In contrast, Kawaki gained everything that Boruto lost. Everyone believes that Kawaki is Boruto and that he is the son of Naruto and Hinata. Himawari also calls Kawaki her brother, and the same applies to Konoha shinobi who are still under the influence of Ida's omnipotence.
Kawaki is the strongest next-generation ninja in the series, and he proves his strength several times by fighting powerful opponents and holding his own against them, including Momoshiki-possessed Boruto Uzumaki.
During the Attack of the Code arc, Kawaki fought Borushiki on an even playing field, using Isshiki powers such as Kokugan, Daikokuten, and Tsukunahikona to defeat Borushiki. He was so strong that Naruto had to intervene before he could execute Boruto and Momoshiki at the same time. As fans know though, Kawaki manages to stab Boruto in the chest, effectively killing him. Even though this was done with Boruto's consent, it still shocked everyone around them.
Kawaki trades cards with Boruto
Extreme: Boruto isn't the luckiest to draw rare cards in the Shinobi Picture Scroll line. In fact, Sarada is even luckier than Boruto, as she is able to draw a high-ranking card on her first try, leaving Boruto frustrated and jealous despite his repeated attempts and the amount he loses.
The same applies to Kawaki, who drew a rare Minato card, while Boruto drew a common high-tier card with Naruto Uzumaki striking a victory pose. Fortunately, Kawaki has zero interest in Minato, so he was willing to trade his card for the Naruto card Boruto owned.
