Mangekyo Sharingan Ability Connections (Theory)

My idea is that, somehow, an Uchiha's personality and deepest desires are reflected somewhat in their mangekyo's abilities.

So Obito became disillusioned with the world after losing Rin, and declared that he no longer wanted to be part of this reality. His Kamui ability is a reflection of that as most people that encounter Obito are dumbfounded by his abilities and almost see him as a ghost-like figure. (he can be seen, but is not part of this dimension) His deep belief that the world he's living in is not the "real" world is apparent in the abilities of Kamui, that make him look like he is not of this world.

Shisui wanted to change the Uchiha clan's future without war or bloodshed. Kotoamatsukami is an ability that can affect those without them even noticing and can influence their thoughts and actions without any direct involvement from the jutsu caster (beside actually casting the jutsu) Koto is a perfect jutsu for someone wanting to do what Shisui wants.

Itachi wanted to cast away the clan's connections to the past and start anew. Amaterasu is probably the best example of the idea that I have that personality can affect Mangekyo abilities, or at least that Kishi had their personalities in mind when creating these abilities.
His Tsukuyomi is tailored toward his desire to protect Sasuke from the past. Itachi can change the landscape of his genjutsu world instantly and can alter time to a significant degree stemming from his desire to keep Sasuke in blissful ignorance. (He went so far as to use Koto against his own brother to change Sasuke, another connection between his personality and Tsukuyomi itself.)

Sasuke's amaterasu is similar to Itachi's in that both wanted to destroy the old system, and what better way to do that than with the black flames of amaterasu.
The key difference between Sauce and Itachi is that Sasuke wanted to control the destruction and form a new world where he was in control. That mindset plays into the creation of his Kagutsuchi ability to control the flames of Amaterasu. He wanted to destroy, but also rebuild a new world in his image.

I don't know if anyone has posted something like this, sorry if you have, but it was just something on my mind that I was wondering if anyone else had noticed.

All MS abilities are smaller scale versions of RinneSharingan feats, the ability the user unlocks depends on their will and their will is shaped through intense emotion (either positive or negative).


Obito wanted to teleport to Rin but he also experienced trauma when he got crushed by a rock, Kamui is a product of those two events in his life.

Nice theory and you might be right that their ms abilities might be a reflection of their deepest wishes

Actually Sasuke amaterasu came from itachi, his only MS ability is to control it.

Thank you ppl dont believe amaretsu came from itachi.

OT: that does make sense also explains why no uchiha has the same abilities unless they steal anothers eye

Nonsensical, unsupported bullshit, as are all "theories" suggesting similar concepts. The reason each Uchiha developed their exact ability(s) is due to genetics. Personality/state of mind doesn't imbue one with a technique. Do you not realize how stupid that sounds?

Femme Thinks...

Actually, they are all weaker more personal versions of Kaguya Sharingan ability. Think about it Tsukuyomi is obviously a weaker version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Kotoamatsukami is possibly a weaker version of that jutsu Kaguya used to control an army of zetsu. Obito's justu is obviously the jutsu of Kaguya's he hacked. Sasuke's teleporty jutsu is obviously simular to Kaguya's dimensional shifting jutsu. I dont think Enton was ever really Sasuke's primary power, I think Itachi gave that to him, but Kaguya seemed to be familiar with amaterasu so there is propably a logical explaination for that.

I see what you are saying. I guess my point was more why the abilities were paired with their respective characters. Like why Obito had Kamui as opposed to Sasuke, not why kamui was an ability in the first place.

Come on, open up a little. Obito's personality and wishes after losing Rin do parallel with his MS ability.
