Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-27924662-20160817160245/@comment-27296281-20160821033925

I think we really need the properties of the rinnegan, Susanoo, and rinnegan enhanced Susanoo laid out to be able to say WHY Sasuke's PS was able to resist IT. Then we can go through and see who could replicate this to gain immunity as well. Was it simply the visual prowess granted by the rinnegan? Was it the PS enhanced by the rinnegan to the point that it could actually block out the light? I don't quite know, and I don't want to speculate too much, but... I'll give my two cents.

If it was the enhancing of the PS by the rinnegan, then it just increased its ability to selectively block out things - which all Susanoo have - to the point that it even could block out the special light. I'd imagine it improved other Susanoo abilities, too, but that's another story for another thread.

If it was the visual prowess granted by the rinnegan, then it was Sasuke himself that was immune to IT with his dojutsu active, and that immunity extended to the PS, which then covered team 7.

If there are any other logical scenarios you guys can put together, feel free to put them forward, too, but this is how I see it, as the rinnegan was given as the source of the immunity by BZ, who I'll consider a reliable source of IT knowledge, given his origin.

Beyond this, one could argue that, because it was the SPC that was the origin of the rinnegan mutation, Naruto could be immune as well, but that really is only speculation at best. I'd prefer it if someone could bring out some manga backed/data book confirmed facts on that, because I'm drawing a blank here on anything to really back that.
