[Theory] The Tomoes Of The Juubi's Eye

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

There is much speculation as to why the revived Juubi only has 6 tomoes in its' eye:

Compared to the 9-Tomoe design we've seen before:

There are many possible reasons as to why this is so, but I would like to give four plausible explanations why the Juubi's eyes currently only has 6 tomoes.

1. The Juubi hasn't fully transformed yet.

The Juubi hasn't fully transformed yet, and it's missing a large part of Hachibi and Kyuubi's chakra, so that could possibly explain the lack of the three tomoes from the original nine-tomoes eye.

2. Change in aesthetic design.

Kishimoto merely found it more aesthetically pleasing that the Juubi's current eye has six tomoes instead of the original nine tomoes.

3. The missing three tomoes went into the Sharingan. (My Personal Theory)

There is also the possibility that the Juubi is the original source of the Sharingan and that the Uchiha ancestor's original eyes were corrupted by the Juubi's influence and that corruption manifested in the form of the Sharingan:

Basically what this theory says is: A part of the Juubi's power went into the Uchiha Ancestor and his descendants, the missing three tomoes of the Juubi's eye is indicative of the dissemination of its' powers into the ocular powers of the Uchihas.

4. The Creation of All Things (Banbutsu Sōzō) took a part of the Juubi's power in creating the Bijuus and Rikudou's Elder and Younger sons. (My personal theory)

The theory states that Banbutsu Sōzō was not only responsible for the creation of the Bijuus, but that it was also responsible for the "creation" of Rikudou Sennin's two sons: The Elder (Uchiha Ancestor) and The Younger (Senju Ancestor) Sons. The missing tomoes represent a part of the Juubi's power, a part of the its' power (one tomoe) went into creating the Bijuus, another tomoe was used in creating the Elder Son and the last tomoe was used in the creation of the Younger Son, thus explaining the 3 missing tomoes from the original 9-tomoed Juubi.

Nice post
I feel like it is probably just #1 but I like theory #3 the most

 

[Mypower]

This has been stated so many times, but nice try.

 

[sage1999]

woah, nice. I also love ur profile pic

 

[Sephy100]

Most likely just incomplete.

 

[zinescience]

nice thread, i prefer the third point of urs

 

[Steaktacular]

Interesting theory, but I still believe reason #1 (as stated in your post) is the most probable case.

Kudos to you for the idea though

 

[Penguin]

Always great. You never fail to disatisfy me. I like theory number one the best!

 

[Voltron]

Theory 1. If it isn't complete, it won't have all the tomoes....
good theories...

 

[BryanSk8]

Nice post SIR Derpy :3

 

[3MESSIAH]

nice theories....i would have to agree with the first one

 

[Asami..]

Interesting. Many people would go with #1 theory, but I myself think that the third might just be it!
As always, great theory!

 

[Detective L]

Theory #1 is most likely.Cool thread.

 

[Trollo Lucilfer]

Seems very legit

 

[The Alchemist]

I agree. with #3 + Rep

 

[Cromatic]

Great Theory .. I think the 3rd one is the answer to it

There are numerous other options just as possible as those you presented. For starters, the picture we saw, was the one Obito "imagined" or whatever. It may be as simple as that...

My own theory:
Could also be that it's because the Juubi is being controlled. We have seen Kurama being controlled by an uchiha, he had the 3 tomoe in his eye. So what if this happened to the Juubi? Wouldn't that give it the 3 tomoes? Sharingan and rinnengan are closely related, and even if you control Kurama with MS, it still has the 3 tomoe sign. So what I believe, is that this was Kishi's way of explaining, how the so6p managed to defeat the Juubi, he found a jutsu to take control of it. This very jutsu he left on a certain altar for his son, who he gave an eye containing this power as well.

and I could mention more theories, but why bother..

It's possible, but the Juubi's 6 tomoed eye manifested before Madara and Obito hopped into it and bound it with Hashirama's cells, but it could also be plausible yes.

hmmm .... i liked how you covered all the possibilities, and number three (your theory is very possible and a cool idea) ..... good stuff, nice attention to details. another great job *_*

 

[two fates]

3rd one was really interesting its highly plausable but im gonna go with 1st one for now

Very interesting speculations good job derp
