Unless I was reading an errant translation, I'm of the understanding Kabuto healed Sasuke through the result of research into Hashirama's DNA, not the DNA itself.

Momoshiki and Urashiki destroy that theory of needing Sharingan. The fact that they even have Rinnegan shows that you don't need Hagoromo's Chakra anymore and therefore is retconned. How would they get Chakra from someone they never met? I used to somewhat think that it was possible that you needed EMS, but then they were introduced and that theory was no longer possible too me. Except Momoshiki and Urashiki were on a diet of Divine Fruit pills, which is where Kaguya originally got her Rinne Sharingan. So, direct access to the Divine Fruit has to be a factor.

What confuses me is why Sasuke's Rinnegan sports tomoe and Hagoromo's didn't. It makes me wonder what the difference is.
