How exactly did Hagoromo awaken the Rinnegan? Was it like the Sharigan and MS, awakened by trauma but only if you have Hagoromo's special chakra in this case? Was sage chakra also necessary? Kaguya didn't merge with the Shinju?? So she was sealed separetly, not the ten-tails. So where did the Gedo statue come from? Does Kaguya turn into a giant statue when she is "depowered". I always thought the ten-tails was the combination of Kaguya and the Shinju, and the gedo statue is the ten-tails but with most of it's chakra extracted. Apparently not. I thought Hagoromo was inspired by his son Ashura, much later in his life, to divide the ten-tail's chakra into nine, in spirit of co-operation. (Also they didn't show Hagoromo "absorbing" the ten tails chakra, just the tree disintergrating.) Why would the tree disintergrate? Is it because Kaguya ate a chakre fruit from it forming some sort of connection, so when she was sealed, it lost it's power? Why did it take so long for Madara to awaken the Rinnegan, why was it only at the end of his life. Also, if the Gedo statue was summoned away to earth, don't you think the few Otsutsuki guarding it at the time would be like: "Well where'd that go? Oh well". Maybe that last one can be explained simply by the passing of time and the Clan on the moon being distorted in their views, and being controlled by the branch family as seen in The Last. Overall, enjoyable. I was expecting more of the fight, to be honest. Did not expect "Mangekyo Sharigan and Susanoo". And, perhaps unfortunately yet as expected, more questions than answers. Well back to the final fight for a few more episdoes anyway. Oh, and if anyone has any insight to some of these questions, please share.

@Sarutobii2 I was hoping the dot would be related to Sage Jutsu, considering another sage master, Hashirama, has a dot pattern on his forward. Only in Sage Mode, sure, but still.

It's explained a few posts above. Well the event that triggered it was him killing his own brother. That's the process of obtaining a MS, but seeing as Hagoromo is Kaguya's son, and that he was able to fight her and the Juubi for a month, I don't see it being impossible, though only for him. Not to mention he ha special sage chakra. Nope. I'm not sure on that one. As for Madara, well, because it is maybe a lengthy process? It was never stated that at the exact moment you combine Indra and Ashura's DNA you awaken the Rinnegan.
