This. @ the OP, Madara was referring to his real death, not his faked death against Hashi. He survived that battle, without the rinnegan, and awakened it much later on; that is waht the manga implies at least.Very well done. However, some interesting things to note:
-Madara didn't awaken the Rinnegan until after he had obtained Hashirama's DNA
-Itachi actually did mention another eye technique being obtained when one awakens the EMS
I see what your saying but if you look at the scene where Kabuto states that after the sharigan comes the Rinnegan you can come to a conclusion of a sort.In regard to the topic of this thread, I agree that I think Rinnegan shouldn't require Senju DNA, but it has been strongly implied that Madara got access to Senju DNA before he awakened it. That, right there, strongly implies that there is at least a chance rinnegan requires Senju DNA. I used to strongly think that Rinnegan did not require Senju DNA, but now I'm split on the matter, and your post really didn't prove anything additionally to me.
At the very least, Kishi has left things open-ended with how he's handled these issues but the only way it will be confirmed is when Sasuke unlocks Rinnegan for himself, whether he will have senju DNA at that time or not.
Link me this please. As long as they say they didnt create it then its all goodYo blaze, I think someone copied your thread and posted it on another forum by the way.
