it was stated that that kaguya and the juubi are one in the same. right in this episode. its irrelevant that the juubi is separate from her. because look at it this way. kaguya consumes the fruit. she merges her physical and spiritual energy becoming the first being on earth to have chakra. she casts Infinite Tsukuyomi. she releases some of the people from the IT and has hagoromo and hamura.

they find out the truth they fight. she then remotely sends her chakra to the shinju merging her chakra with the shinju. and then the shinju transforms. people are assuming that when black zetsu said the shinju transformed into the juubi to protect kaguya that this means the shinju is actually a sentient being. he made no mention of the shinju actually being an actual living breathing sentient being. just that it transformed to protect her. obviously this could mean that she herself caused it to transform so that she could better fight her sons, being that hagoromo not only inherited her chakra and sharingan but now has an evolved form of the eye as well as Sage mode. let me ask you something, when naruto casts shadow clones. are the clones Naruto? Yes they are. they have the same spiritual and physical energy, the same thoughts, the same beliefs, the same DNA but they have separate bodies.

on a side note. the mini bijuu egg things were adorable
