Is or has it ever been said if the byakugan is capable of genjutsu and or resistant to it, just curious

Hinata in the Last movie was caught in a genjutsu ... Sakura could free herself but Hinata didn't ...
I'd say it's not resistant .

It can see chakra, so when a genjutsu is underway, they can see it happening. Whether or not they're resistant to it like a Sharingan is not stated.

There's no such thing as genjutsu immunity but genjutsu can be countered with kai release can can be seen through with genjutsu.


1. Seeing through genjutsu is an insight feat which Byakugan is superior at


2. Kai release involves chakra control which Hyuga have the best in NV


3. Genjutsu is a Yin technique and Hamura had stronger Yin affinity than Hagoromo

Ok....all that considered we don't have much to go on as far as what's actually shown

No. it was never resistant to genjutsu. I'd say it is more vulnerable even, especially to ocular genjutsu. What it has about genjutsus it can distinguish if someone or something is under genjutsu and where the caster might be

Hamura possessed Yin seal Hagoromo possessed Yang seal, that says Hamura had the stronger Yin affinity. In addition, Sharingan can see through genjutsu and seeing through illusions is an insight feat, manga says Byakugan insight is superior to Sharingan.

Finally, Kishi made a pattern where Otsutsuki descendants have the power to counter each other's powers, Hyuga have the potential to match Uchiha as much as Senju and Uzumaki

Otsutsuki? Yes...

Hyuuga? Never in a million years.

Look at it this way
Byakugan : taijutsu
Sharingan : genjutsu
Rinnegan : ninjutsu

You're literally throwing a bunch of things together in the hopes that it sounds canon. By your logic, the Nara clan are better at genjutsu than the Uchiha due to their strong affinity for Yin chakra.

The Sharingan seeing through genjutsu is not a genjutsu feat but a hypnosis feat, as seen when Itachi was able to reverse a genjutsu on it's caster.

When giving an example of the Hyuga clan Hinata shouldn't be used as an example she's a poor representation of Byakugan abilities past the general abilities. Like seeing long distance, through objects etc. I mean she with her Byakugan couldn't even tell Neji was using chakra to block her points and or see them to know. She was kicked out for lacking abilities it's understandable she inherited the weakest gene pool of the Hyuga. It's like using a fodder uchiha character as proof of Uchiha abilities in general that's not very good.
In truth excluding MS genjutsu I personally believe the Elite Hyuga can see through genjutsu since they can see through alterations in chakra and or chakra masses just as Sauce xan see. The resin I'm doubtful on MS is because the spred with which it's used.

I fixed it for you the sharingan wasn't coveted by orochimaru for its genjutsu ability but ninjutsu ability.

Hinata was weak. She is weak relative to her generation. But people seem to always undermine and blatantly miss the core of her character. She might be overrated af most of the time. But the hate she's getting in return is worse.

The Byakugan's sight penetrates objects. To give you an example, if I wanted to see through the clothes of my crush, I would be penetrating her clothes with my eyes.

The Sharingan penetrates ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu by reading it before it even occurs. The Sharingan copy techniques to the smallest degree, and taijutsu. It can probably copy genjutsu and as shown, it can see through it and reflect it. You're taking penetrative out of context to fit your own argument. God help your children when they inherit your lack of reason.

Didn't read. This is the japanese: It says insight literally. So your post means nothing.

Even if you were right. Kakashi says "completely". Meaning ALL ENCOMPASSING, not cherry picking what you want.

No. Byakugan isn't immune or able to cast genjutsu.
