It would be easier for everyone to believe that it implies a connection tho. Otherwise why add it in the first place? And why add it when Rasa uses the power? Why the same thing? Why not different? Symbolism. To have visual parallels between Rasa and Gaara. Do i need to point out other characters with black rings around their eyes again?

Or how some jutsu have identical features but are different again?

Tbh, I just think that it's more of something that can be related to Rasa's family and Gaara just has a more severe case of it because of Gaara's full-time running automatic sand protection. The sand protection isnt Magnet Release. And the rings are still there when Gaara is unconscious or dead. So they are not the result of Magnet Release for Gaara

If ofc that isn't the case, then the 2nd theory of mine would be that Rasa draws power from Shukaku's chakra which he might've sealed inside for extreme rare situations or whatever which is a stretch because Minato never gets whiskers in KCM and Kushina doesn't have them either. But still for some reason Boruto and Himawari has them. Which makes me consider that it might be a Jinchuriki specific trait turned genetic. Naruto might have it coz he's the Jinchuriki's son. No Rasa doesnt have Shukkaku chakra. He has Magnet Release

The root of the problem is the belief that they mean the same thing because they look the same. People need to let it go. Time and time again the series has shown this not to be the case
