No, this is just filler.
The Sharingan is what evolves into the Rinnegan; the Byakugan is a different branch of power, which evolution is the Tenseigan.
I never thought Byakugan could evolve to Rinnegan. In the preview Hagoromo had Byakugan. I don't get it. Wouldn't Indra have Byakugan then? Or... is it Byakugan + Juubi chakra = Sharingan.
No it's not a filler. It's canon. And I think Byakugan evolves to Tenseigan or Rinnegan. Hagoromo had her yang power so he had Rinnegan. Hamura had her yin power so he had Tenseigan.
I like how people were *****ing about Kaguya having no backstory, but now that we get one "It's filler, it's not canon, who cares." Really? This ****ing fandom I swear :kk:
No it's a filler. This never happened in the manga nor The Last(or any of the movies)/Novels/games/Gaiden etc. just because it was done by SP in the middle of canon material doesn't make it canon. No Byakugan user EVER evolved the Byakugan into Rinnegan and it was never stated anywhere that Hagoromo EVER had the Byakugan. That was Hamura's realm not Hagoromo.
It's:
Sharingan-Rinnegan
Byakugan -Tenseigan
I don't know why SP butchers stuff like this. And obviously Kishi just doesn't care anymore :kk:
Rennigan isn't related to Sharingan. It's related to Ashura and Indra's power, hence why someone like Hashirama could potentially get Rennigan with no Sharingan.
While it's nice we get some background on her it's still filler. Nothing said it had to be a bad filler but it is what it is. Let's just leave it at that.

Lady Byakugan got it right. People on this thread keep saying that rinnegan evolves from sharingan, but that is wrong. Rinnegan is its own dojutsu that is awakened from having the right type of rikudou chakara (such as Hagoromo's chakara, which can also come from the fusion of Indra and Asura's chakara).
Notice that Momoshiki also possessed the rinnegan, and he had byakugan as well (and no sign of sharingan)?
