Did anyone else thought the byakugan was going to be redeemed?

Byakugan was very neglected in the main series for a long time. Always overshadowed by the sharingan and rinnegan. So when i heard the big bad of the series was going to wield it, i was expecting to see the byakugan to be use to it's fullest potential but nah, instead we just see a OP version of the vacuum palm. But wait! The byakugan's going to get an upgrade? It sure did but...

It turned out to be a poor man's rinnegan rip off. Wait, two more byakugan wielding villains are gonna show up? Surely they'll deliver! Nah, the main one didn't even activate his byakugan in the final friggin fight.

Tl;dr Even tho the byakugan was used by OP aliens and got an upgrade, it got neglected and seemed useless.
Rip byakugan, just like shino you'll be forgotten.

No. It depends to much on taijutsu instead of "pew pew kaboom!"

The Byakugan was overhsadowed, because unlike the Sharingan it's Abilities were Chakra Based. And only low chakra characters had it, so it looked weak.

But Otsutsuki's have the largest chakra pools, so the Byakugan seem OP on them.

The Bykugans strength is based on the Chakra Capacity of it's use. The Byakugan can be much stronger than any other DoJutsu depending on it's wielder.

YES the byakugan was overshadowed. Kishi said in an interview that Neji was supposed to gain the tenseigan and nearly kill sasuke but sasuke would escape and that would allow him to implement other stuff in the story. Thats why it seemd rush cause his editor wanted it finished fast. So he made the last movie.

I honestly prefer taijutsu over big dbz like explosion. That's probably why i had an interest in the byakugan. HAD

While that's true, only like kaguya used a justu related to the byakugan. Others used it to just zoom in on things and that's it. Didn't even use gentle fist or nothing.
Sharingan/rinnegan remain king.

Correction: Byakugan users can be weak or strong. The Byakugan itself shows no difference between someone like Hanabi and someone like Kaguya. Just 360 X-ray vision, every Byakugan has that.

I do too but that is the reason why it was left behind in shippuden. Can't contend with characters like deidara, pain and obito. And even if it could, it would still get lowballed for naruto and sasukes sake.

Idk dood, i figure being able to manipulate the chakra pathway system would have some OP results. It's 2 late now.

Actually Byakugan strongest ability is to detect VITAL POINT, that mean everything in front of it is useless. But the power and the skill to land an effective hit on the vital point is another different story :lol

No Byakugan literally had nothing else to show. It's an eye for insight that's it.
