Dumbest thing I've read.
Would you rather see someone pull the trigger before they even do it so you can move out of the way? Or see through a woman's blouse so you can see her completely like some god-forsaken stalker.
With the Sharingan I can copy the answers of someone who always studies by copying their moves. The Sharingan would be far more subtle, while the Byakugan will literally have veins crackling near your eyes.
Hmmm...in this scenario? I'd rather be able to see through the wall into the room and through the person's gear to see that they are concealing a gun before I even step into view :sdo:
Look I get why most would choose Sharingand over Byakugan for sure. Kishi has fleshed out the Sharingan so much that we've pretty much seen every scenario overcome with a Sharingan as far as fights and Intel gathering go.
However, just because Byakugan doesn't have balls like the Sharingan doesn't necessarily make it the lesser choice. X-ray vision can be used for more than pervert scenarios. Bomb units could locate land mines during wars from a safe distance or hidden bombs throughout a building.
Metal detectors would be a thing of the past with a Byakugan user just able to scan anyone concealing anything.
Hunting for food becomes much easier(well for either of the two honestly)
From a medical perspective you can look inside someone's body and locate tumors, sources of internal bleeding, any foreign objects that don't belong in the body, etc.
It(Byakugan)really does have some Useful abilities in real life scenarios. As for which one I'd choose? Byakugan. I'm not interested in using it commit crimes or overpower people or make them do what I want ala genjutsu.
Plus, I don't want to have to kill my family or friends to enhance its power, nor go blind from overuse. The Sharingan is much stronger for sure, but the drawbacks and emotionally unstable byproducts of the Sharingan are just not worth it to me.
