Simple question. Everyone knows how a Uchiha awakens his sharingan and the necessites to do so. That also applies to the Mangekyo Sharigan.
My question is: Could a Uchiha just plain out awaken the Mangekyo without first awakening/mastering the sharigan?
To give an example: During the Uchiha Massacre Sasuke awaken the sharingan right? So if he was submitted to even more trauma could he have awaken the mangekyo?
