I guess I'm stupid.

[Booker]

A lot of people keep saying this, and I have no idea where they are getting it from:

Unlocking the Rinnegan requires being near death.

Can somebody show me the scan that states this is a full-on requirement? I'm tired of feeling dumb.

 

[Multiply]

Never seen anyone say that...?

 

[-S-]

Madara said he only awakened it just before his death even though he added Hashirama's blood to his wound, so it is to be inferred until Kishimoto confirms it.

AC has been saying it, as well as Macho, and some people agreed.

 

[Princessu Kaaantchan]

I am guess you are. Don't worry for I am Rinnegan hawk; and I will inherit you mangas.

That means nothing and is a fallacy. Maybe it takes a long time to awaken.

 

[Edo Odin]

It was never explicitly stated. But Madara's statement, '..When I was on the verge of death..I finally activated the Rin'negan..' has lead many to believe this is the case. Which might be true, although other possibilities exist.

Well, I've been reading threads that contains this, and I don't think it's a pre-requisite cos Madara was really weak after his fight with hashirama.

ØT I guess so too.

I don't care if it's fallacy, that's what I concluded from what Madara said.

When Kishimoto provides the real method, whether or not it is linked to death, then we will know.

Because, there is a chance Kishimoto never explains it, and we will just have to assume it is death-related.

It doesn't explicitly say this. Madara says he awoke it when his "life span was almost over".

I thought this just meant it took a very long time to awaken and that Madara had to wait many years (which would put him in his final years).

There should be some hard requirements in order to unlock Rinnegan, since killing someone you love is the one for MS. On the verge of death seems ok.

Wrong. It's clear you don't care about fallacy, because you're incorrect. We can just as easily assuming it takes a long time to awaken, not nescassarily that it requires near-death experiences.

The Sage had no near death experience while he had it.

 

[rollin]

you can conclude two things from what madara said
1.near death experience
2.waiting a long ass time until your about to die of old age
im more incline to believe it's a near death experience because what's the point waiting til your almost dead of old age to awaken a rinnegan

I'm happy you are trying to challenge me, but I'm still not going to stray away from my opinion on something that isn't clarified. Madara already claimed it was near the end of his life span. Not to mentioned, he used the Mazou to escape death. Like you said, you could easily 'assume' another theory; I too am assuming it requires death from what I have read. I don't understand why you are trying to force your own opinions down my throat, accusing me about being incorrect over something which you do not even know what correct is.

The sage inherited it from his mother. That was already explained. Don't try and tell me Madara's mother had the Rinnegan.

 

[Bantos]

This is just a pure assumption. Nothing suggests this. Ac is a fool and has always been.

 

[foxyladyland]

I thought I started that trend XD but it doesn't state that in the manga , but its just a theory that you need to be near death.
its just an idea . nothing more. xD

also it would be nice if the Sage was beaten badly at first by the Juubi/God Tree before he awakened the Rinnegan then came back for more.


Once more if you're completely healthy or not near death and you try to get the rinnegan, you'll keep getting the same message.

I'm saying you're wrong in assuming there's only one possible interpretation. As assumptions, it could be either one, 50/50.

Besides, why would the Rinnegan unlock at death? So it could be forever useless? Or so someone else could steal it from the corpse and use it? You'll make the argument that it doesn't have to make sense; that that's just what happens. However, this is a fictional manga. While it could be that that's "just what happens", there are usually a rhyme or reason to these things in a story. Again though, either avenue is equally possible.
