Might just be the way the animators decided to colour it, Like rasengan being blue in the anime and not yellow and such.

I doubt there is much meaning behind it.

A move he made in the Kakashi novel after having no longer the Sharingan

Yes, I'm aware it is a move but what makes it purple?

Sasuke also has purple lightning techniques now. & then he still has blue lightning techniques as well so

I'll chalk it up as it's just more concentrated and piercing. Or long range?Madara also had purple lightning as a JJ.

Makes sense. Originally using the lightning jitsu he couldn't effectively in combat. it never explained why... perhaps the unpredictability of the arc dancing or somesuch made the sharingan combat precog a requirement to land it effectively. Maybe the Purple Lightning flies truer and doesn't require such foresight in targeting.

I looked it up guys, it's supposedly imperfect(or lesser or partial) black lightning so I guess it is also senjutsu boosted?

Sage mode for Sasuke & Kakashi confirmed

I think it has something to do with Yin release.

I think it's six path chakra related

That was only purple in the anime though. The whole thing is just really confusing now that they're colouring some purple, some blue...

Maybe he's still got some Six Paths chakra leftover.

dont see how it could compensate for a sharingan but its a move he developed cos he lost his sharingan
