Beside, having Hagoromo's chakra doesn't automatically give you Rinnegan, because else Obito would've awoken his own. Similarly, giving Ashura the Rinnegan would again go completely against his belief, namely that no single person should have all this power. Which is also why i have trouble with the idea that Hagoromo gave Ashura actual power.

'''Your assumption. Nothing says he didn't receive both. He even told Naruto and Sasuke that his mistake with his sons was giving one all the power. Since Asura didn't awaken the Rinnegan then that means his chakra and the genetics together dictate the occurrence of the Rinnegan '''

Thekillman wrote: As an Edo Tensei he had a large lob of Hashirama flesh, easily two orders of magnitude bigger, and awoke the power easily two orders of magnitude earlier. Kabuto also made heavy modifications to Madaras body, so thats no even a legit argument. Also having experienced the awakening of the Rinnegan, Madara would be able to activate it on his own so long as he met the necessary requirements.
