What was it that activated Kakashi/Tobi's Mangekyō Sharingan?

[TheCCV]

I just want to apologize in advance if this question has been asked multiple times.

But as for my question, I wanted to hear your opinion on this: Do you think it was Kakashi killing Rin, or Tobi witnessing it that awakened it? The stories say that to achieve it, you must murder your best friend, but... Rin? Kakashi's best friend? To be honest, I'd have assumed he didn't even have a best friend because of how cocky he was, but I don't know. But it is possible to have been Tobi, he did go through a lot of stuff before seeing them again for the first time in a while.

And please, don't say it was both. I'm interested in knowing what you thought it was most.

kakashi killing rin coz even if u see it u wont unlock the ms, and since they share the eyes if one unlocks it both will...

 

[Thundercles]

Well, it isn't just killing your best friend, it is also seeing them or someone you deeply care about die and then "feeling" it. That is your answer. /thread

So if Kakashi had just killed Rin and Tobi wasn't there to witness it, would he still have just got it out of nowhere, or not?

 

[muzGLORY]

You already know the answer. No point for asking.

I guess no since they are no longer conected by anything
But it if a fictional world so w/e

Nope, I don't. Shower me with your wisdom.

I think Obito witnessing it

 

[Super Ninja]

I strongly disagree :/. Obito unlocked his before Kakashi, obito probably unlocked his at the scene of Rins death and as for Kakashi, he probably unlocked his at the verge of death while facing pein.

Tobi/Obito need to witness

I'm not sure how accurate this is.

He used it vs Deidara at the start of shippuden

 

[Super Ninja]

Oh I must of skipped that part, but its still to early to tell. We need to know why Kakashi killed Rin :3

 

[Valen]

Rin's death, anger.. duh

 

[VongolaX]

Both witness the death of their friend

 

[KidGamer65]

It was obviously both, Kakashi got his from killing Rin and Obito got his from witnessing her death.

I'd say Obito witnessing it.
