We'll have to wait till next week to see. If he does have both, it looks like Hamura got the short end of the stick even more than we realized.

...Really, every single Otsutsuki has a Byakugan and we see young Hagoromo pre-junchuriki state with a Byakugan and you think they are just "White Featureless eyes"?! Once again like with the Boruto debate, if it looks like a Byakugan, it's a Byakugan. The problem is that Hagoromo still got his Rinnegan before becoming the TTJ (every time Kaguya has recalled the images of her children, Hagoromo has always been shown with Rinnegan + he sealed her with the SPCH wielding Rinnegan as well). It means that according to anime Hagoromo developed his Rinnegan from the Byakugan, which surely doesn't make sense because the Rinnegan was said to stem from Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan, a separate dojutsu awakened via the Chakra Fruit without any connection to the Byakugan (the original eyes of the Ootsutsuki).

Regarding the episode, it was surely good. Kinda liked this picture of the pre-shinobi era. The only thing that doesn't make sense for me is Kaguya casting the IT with the Moon out of nowhere immediately after consuming the Chakra Fruit. Really, where's the era of her stopping the war and being worshipped as a goddess? The only chance her still being worshipped in the anime is the possibility of her IT not affecting the whole world, but it's already unlikely because of these her words akin to Madara's "Shine to the world, Infinite Tsukuomi". Yet still I'm at least satisfied with Kaguya's background developement.
