Can rinnegan cast/break genjutsu?

[NarutoOST]

Can it use genjutsu? We've never seen Nagato used genjutsu before. What happens if he is put in one? Endgame?

 

[-immortal-]

yes...yes it can.

 

[Chīkara]

Rinnegan is not for genjutsu is think. Rinnegan is a more destructive type of doujutsu.

 

[avenged sevenfold]

I think the rinnegan itself cannot but the host of the rinnegan can

This. But it is not via the Rinnegan.

 

[Sefirosu Masamune]

Rinnegan makes the user able to cast all kinds of jutsu so i dont see why not

 

[Holy Cross]

Considering it's the final stage of the sharingan; I would suppose that the latter would be used for Genjutsu.

 

[TsunadeGurl]

Nagato has used genjutsu, most people just don't realise it....

 

[NarutoOST]

When did Nagato use genjutsu? I'm just curious.

 

[RaitonOniKairRasengan]

It has not shown to be able to cast any genjutsu. And besides the sharigans few exceptions (ameratsu and susasanoo etc) each doujutsu is focused on one area. Byakugan taijustu, sharigan genjutsu, rinnegan ninjutsu

 

[NarutoOST]

What if someone with EMS used Tsukuyomi on someone with Rinnegan, can the rinnegan do anything? Seeing as genjutsu is probably the quickest and easiest way to end fights, why did Nagato not use it? Maybe he could not?

 

[NarutoOST]

Genjutsu can stop fights before they start, so unless you're Madara who can switch between EMS and Rinnegan, why do so many people say Rinnegan>EMS?

 

[AlphaScythian]

Nagato isnt genjutsu type. Plus maybe he never learned any.
In theory rinnegan should be able to cast genjutsu. Perhaps not via eyes but in general any other should be within its reach
Braking it depends on the user not so much on rinnegan

 

[TsunadeGurl]

The only genjutsu he's known to use is the ones he's placed in his subordinates minds, mental barrier techniques, as seen when Inoichi is trying to extract information from the ame genin but is confronted by blocks....

You must be registered for see links

You just need chakra receivers to pierce the enemy first

 

[Fecal Matter]

His black rodes does the same thing basically.They disrupt chakra flow by adding his own into it his victims.

 

[The God]

it has never bin shown to use genjutsu so its not safe to assume it can do genjutsu,

 

[Cobwebby]

When did Nagato use genjutsu? I'm just curious.

Thinking back on it, in the anime when fighting kakashi, it looks like he used genjutsu to dodge kakashi's raikiri.

On a note:
There was a discussion in the past wether some1 who hasn't activated rinnegan himself (first sharingan>Ms>EMS>rinnegan) cannot use the sharingan's genjutsu. Because you'll have to swap from rinnegan to EMS. I do not see why he cannot use other forms of genjutsu.

 

[NarutoOST]

So if Nagato were to fight people like Itachi, Sasuke or Madara(all of which are skilled in genjutsu, agreed?) he wouldn't stand a chance seeing as they can just stop him before he moves?

We do not know yet if rinnegan is enough to overcome Tsukuyomi. But talking about 'normal' genjutsu i think pain would be able to recover from it quite fast. As the skill of the shinobi is key to breaking out of it.
