Pretty sure the anime has not reached that point even yet. It started with Boruto starting at the Academy, which is long before the Chunin exams when he beat Momoshiki. So in Anime canon, the seal does not exist yet. Also, its noted the seal was given right after saying a cryptic warning that someone who defeats a god ceases to be a normal person.

@Ryan that is something that eludes me, because in the manga the dojutsu is an extension of his seal. The power was not experienced before it .

maybe it was the chakra being drained from him?! we see that the lightning that comes out of his eye goes to class rep and then the monster gets bigger and is able toteleport. maybe the chakra gained from the eye made it whole?!
