Sharingan VS Byakugan

[Tensei Kaori]

I've read that post quite thoroughly, and honestly, all it does is talk about how the Sharingan evolved from the Byakugan. If Uchiha Madara had both Doujutsu, then so would Itachi and Sasuke, his direct descendants.

well it was confusing he inhareted the bykaugan from his mother. but whith itachi and sasuke its different madara prefered to use sharingan so the the second uchiha clan member was born whith sharingan and only sharingan so thats why the present uchiha clan members have sharingan and only sharingan

I think I may see where you're getting the idea that Madara had both, but look carefully.

"Everything was good. Uchiha Madara soon grew up to become a very powerful shinobi. He not only inherited the Kekkei Genkai from his mother but with the Tengu blood inside him the Byakugan had evolved into an even more dreadful form—the Sharingan! This new bloodline had 2 levels: Normal Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan."

Yes, he inherited the Byakugan - but it evolved. He didn't suddenly just manifest a brand new trait while retaining the old; the existing Kekkei Genkai he was born with simply changed, taking on a newer form. When Uchiha Madara developed the Sharingan, he no longer had the original Byakugan, because it had evolved into something else - the Sharingan.

When I say "back on topic", I mean "back on topic". I'm glad you asked about the spoiler tags, but questions like that belong in the helpdesk, not discussion threads. Any more off-topic posts in this thread will be deleted.

Looking back, I see I never actually weighed in on this, sooo..

*drags topic back to its track for K-sama*

I'm going to have to go with Byakugan. The Sharingan is just.....farrrr too overpowered to exist, in my opinion. I realize that this is a fantasy series, and you're supposed to suspend belief at least a little, but seriously.

The ability to read the intended movements/techniques/etc. of whoever you're looking at? At a speed at which makes you appear to be copying them perfectly? That would require being able to read and interpret the electric impulses the brain emits to cause them in the first place. All with your EYES.

Sorry Kishi, but as they say in the gaming world, that's broken as all get out.

The Byakugan, at least, while being a LOT more versatile as previously stated, is also more believable, since seeing more than could be seen normally would just require bending the light differently so it still reaches your eyes. And if people can mess with the elements with their chakra, it's more easily acceptable to be able to do something like that.

Anywho. Girthy rant over. Byakugan for me, please....I bet Jiraiya would love to have it XD
