Sasuke also does not possess a single "super rinnegan" but rather a combination of Sharingan and Rinnegan, as the connection to his Mangekyou powers proves. Elveonora wrote: About just anyone having Hagoromo's chakra not being enough, I agree, that seems to be the case. Only Asura or Indra incarnate can get Hagoromo's Rinnegan I think the specific criterium is that the person's own cells must be capable of creating Hagoromo's chakra. And it seems to me that Transmigrant's own bodies re-merge those chakra's to recreate Hagoromo's (Note a similar thing happens to Gedo and Biju).

Since a non-transmigrant doesn't possess this "hidden" power, they can never truly claim this power as their own. Elveonora wrote: For Momoshiki's Rinnegan, I have zero idea why it's red and on his palms, but I believe Momoshiki was purposely made by Kishimoto to explain this thing to the fanbase I think the rinnegan-in-palm thing is a reference to a monster (i recall a horror monster having eyes in the palm of his hands in stead of his face).

I think the Red Rinnegan is how the sharingan-line dojutsu looks like, and it seems to solely have the Reality-power. It seems to me the purple color is the mutation and what gives it the additional power (IE power over death like Human path). Elveonora wrote: Momoshiki has the Rinnegan by other means than Hagoromo's chakra, so Hagoromo most likely wasn't the first person with Rinnegan, there might have been others besides him on other planets Considering the events and implications of the Boruto movie, it's likely a fragment of power from a different shinju. And it seems to me that unlike Hagoromo, Momoshiki has less than half the power of the fruit, and that Super-momo has close to but not entirely the power of a fruit.

It seems to me that Kinshiki's power is similar but not identical to Ashura + TSB. Momoshiki's Rinnegan have a special power (Ninjutsu absorbtion/reflection) but seem to have neither the finer reality powers of the Sharingan (IE it lacks Genjutsu) nor does it seem to have the death-related power of the Rinnegan.

Reclaiming Kinshiki's power, Momo gets purple rinnegan including his forehead, suggesting he still lacks a considerable piece of the fruit(IE it's not a rinne sharingan).
