and I think you're probably right, I do think sometimes thatt kishi is purposely ignoring the byakugan to keep viewers/readers off his plans for it.I'll say thank you for at least acknowledging the theory and yes i did admit that it had holes but i dont dismiss that they have a connection
It'd be the ultimate troll job if it winds up being revealed that the byakugan rather than the sharingan is capable of advancing to rinnegan.the sharingan can evolve and byakugan looks like it can't
