Hagoromo didn't know about Black Zetsu's true identity until the guy turned Madara into Kaguya.

In this filler, Hagoromo proved to be rather incompetent as a father. How many months passed between Indra's return and Asura's homecoming? Dunno, but surely it would've been plenty of time to talk out things with his son. At least he'd have found out about Black Zetsu's machinations. And yet all Hagoromo can say after hearing of Indra murdering his friends is "how low you've fallen"?

Well, the filler was no good. SP messed up a lot. Would've been better to see Indra trying to accept his father's decision, at least at the start, and giving in to rage after being goaded by Black Zetsu into doing so. Not to mention that Hagoromo was supposedly on his deathbed when he chose his successor. And what about the tailed beasts? Sigh...

Indra's Mangekyō was just the tip of the iceberg. I had hoped for some rather hax powers so that he could go against a Six Paths-enhanced Asura, but all Indra had was Susanoo and Amaterasu? Really lame. Kamui, Tsukuyomi, Kotoamatsukami... Would've been extremely cool to see him using all the MS powers in existence.
