i love itachi but u cant compare rin to ms just like comparing hinata to sage of six paths m.s has a limitation and also causes strains on the eyes but rin grants the user all elmental abilites that just too much
Its not about quantity of attacks, its the quality. The MS and the EMS have susanoo that makes them virtually invincible from any attack. If physical attacks dont work on them and they can see through any genjustu, what'd do you have left ?
My point is, that what weve seen so far from the rinnegan and the MS has clearly shown that the MS is superior. However maadara mentioned that he nagato's rinnegan was originally use. Perhaps as many have speculated, nagato's rinnegan was the not the full powered one, and was just part of the process of evolving into the full powered rinnegan. Just like the EMS is a higher evolution of the MS.
We should have some more answers about the rinnegan when maadara finally enters the fray. Im pretty sure his rinnegan would be vastly superior to nagato's. But that also brings another huge question ? How can naruto defeat maadara or even sasuke or even itachi ?
Sasuke EMS has to be greater than itachi's MS, which was pretty formidable. And very skeptical that naruto can beat itachi. If im not sure of that, i doubt he can beat sasuke or even maadara. Unless Kishi plus the bleach BS and gives him some new unknown power out of nowhere. Or he makes the EMS and maadara's rin vastly underwhelming.
And my final thought would be on the MS limitations. It places a huge drain on the user, whats to say the rinnegan which supposedly is superior doesnt do the same or worse. That would explain why nagato was so sick and frail, and why after absorbong the 8 tail's chakra he returned to normal.
