Elveonora wrote: Seriously, why.do so many people falsely believe that Rinnegan is higher stage of Sharingan/evolution and that Sharingan is needed to awaken Rinnegan? It's just that based on how Kaguya has the Rinne Sharingan and Hagoromo has the Rinnegan, it appears that the eyes are "devolving" so to speak. Since Indra has the Sharingan, it's only normal to think that the Sharingan is "devolved" from the Rinnegan.

If they are in fact the split powers of the Rinne Sharingan, then why doesn't the Rinnegan get passed down just like the Sharingan? What makes the Rinnegan different to the Sharingan in terms of genetics? Thekillman wrote: Sasuke's Sharingan retracts in both eyes with overuse, turning his tomoe rinnegan into a regular rinnegan. The thing is, we've seen Sasuke having the Tomoe Rinnegan with a regular Sharingan at the same time, which means it's not connected to the Mangekyo Sharingan. Thekillman wrote: This doesn't make him loose Rinnegan powers (IE amenotejikara). I thought it's stated that his Rinnegan is not at its full power? Thekillman wrote: If only Sharingan could do this, why not just say Indra? Because Asura's transmigrant can also get their hands on the Sharingan via transplant or whatever. Thekillman wrote: Madara is unable to use MS techs with his Rinnegan That might be true, but I thought Kabuto openly stated that the Rinnegan naturally comes after the Sharingan, and Madara didn't say otherwise.
