Rinnegan is better than Sharingan

Since Pro requested that I, Con, begin first, I shall proceed to make my own arguments. Before beginning, however, I am assuming that I am arguing that all forms of Sharingan (this includes Mangekyo and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan) are superior to Rinnegan. Furthermore, all abilities that are mutually exclusive to Sharingan users will be counted as Sharingan abilities (i. e. space-time migration, Susanoo, etc. ). Likewise, all abilities that are mutually exclusive to Rinnegan users will be counted as Rinnegan abilities (i. e. almighty push, six paths, etc. ). With that said, I will now proceed with my arguments which will breifly go over only two of the stages of Sharingan and all the abilities within those two stages. R1: Sharingan Even average Sharingan is highly useful in battle and is very dangerous. There are numerous abilities that the Sharingan grants the user, but as the series has progressed these abilities seem to be overlooked because of the even stronger forms of Sharingan. Whoever possesses these eyes is capable of seeing chakra (the source of life/power in the Naruto series) and differentiating between different people’s chakra. Sharingan users are also able to see through most genjutsus (which are essentially illusions in the Naruto universe). Another thing the Sharingan is well known for is the ability to predict your opponent’s attacks. Even if your opponent makes the slightest movement, you will be able to see what they are going to do next. Furthermore, it is capable of allowing the user to see extremely fast moving objects, and was even capable of allowing Sasuke Uchiha to see Naruto Uzumaki in his one-tailed chakra form. Sharingan users can also use hypnosis on their opponents to make them think they can see into the future. Further hypnotic abilities include paralyzing your opponent, controlling powerful animals (such as Manda, a giant, colossal snake), controlling the tails (which are some of the most powerful beings in the Naruto universe), putting your opponent to sleep, or creating various genjutsus/illusions to deceive or potentially hurt your opponent. Out of all these abilities, however, the most well known ability of the Sharingan is to copy nearly any jutsu or technique you see (i. e. if you see someone breathing fire, you too can copy that technique and breath fire). The Sharingan even allows the user to copy other people’s movements to the slightest detail. One example is when Sasuke Uchiha cheated on a test by using his Sharingan. He looked at a student in front of him, and then, using his Sharingan, he copied the movements of the students so perfectly that he had every single word written down correctly on his paper. Then we have the Izinagi, which allows the user to warp reality for a short period. During this time, the user is invincible and all attacks against the user simply turn into nothing more than an illusion, whereas the user’s attacks are still real. The drawback to this ability is that the Sharingan user only gets to use it once in their lifetime; thus, it is only used in moments of desperation. All facts within this argument can be found here: [1]. R2: Mangekyo Sharingan One of the abilities of Mangekyo Sharingan is the ability to summon Susanoo, which is a humanoid-like God that is generally depicted with flames around its body. Only Sharingan users are able to summon this powerful creature, which is slightly different for each person. The Susanoo has been shown to carry the Yata Mirror, which is endowed with all nature transformations, allowing the mirror to change its own characteristics depending on the attack [2]. This renders nearly all attacks useless. Even without the Yata Mirror, the Susanoo is extremely difficult to break through because of its many layers of armor. In fact, Itachi’s Susanoo in particular survived a direct attack from Orochimaru’s Eight Branches Technique [3]. This is no laughing matter. Orochimaru’s Eight Branches Technique allows him to turn into a colossal white serpent with eight heads and eight tails. This snake is even larger than Manda, who was described as the most feared, strongest, and biggest serpent. This snake was able to destroy the Uchiha hideout simply by crawling on its scales. Despite the serpent’s massive size and strength, Itachi’s Susanoo only staggered backwards slightly after being hit by Orochimaru’s Eight Branches Technique. Please note that this was shortly after Sasuke had hit Itachi’s Susanoo with Kirin, which is an extremely strong lightning strike technique capable of blowing a mountain apart [4]. In addition, Susanoo has been seen carrying the sword of Totsuka, which is a blade capable of sealing anything it pierces into a genjutsu-like “world of drunken dreams” that is impossible to escape [5]. Another weapon Susanoo has seen to be carrying is a bow [6]. The bow’s arrows are capable of breaking through wood release techniques with ease and can even block wind release attacks. Furthermore, they are extremely fast and highly destructive. Not even Kakashi Hatake was able to dodge one and had resorted to using Kamui (one of his strongest moves) to protect himself. Other abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan include Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. Amaterasu is one of the most powerful ninjutsus in the Naruto universe and is a fire release technique that only Mangekyo and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan users are capable of doing [7]. It is clearly distinguishable form normal fire because Amaterasu is black fire. Amaterasu is hotter than the sun itself and will ignite wherever the user focuses his/her vision. This ninjutsu is almost impossible to dodge and is ridiculously fast, considering it can ignite right on top of you. The flames are also able to burn through nearly any substance with only one exception (Gaara’s chakra-infused sand), and they are impossible to put out through normal means. Tsukuyomi, on the other hand, is one of the three most powerful genjutsus to ever exist in the Naruto universe [8]. Once a person is captured in Tsukuyomi, they are in an illusion that is completely controlled by the Sharingan user. Itachi Uchiha in particular was capable of altering one’s perception of time, allowing him to torture those caught in his Tsukuyomi for days on end by stabbing them repeatedly. What would seem like days in that world would actually be less than a second in reality. The only way to break this genjutsu is if the person who is caught in Tsukuyomi also has the Mangekyo Sharingan. Conclusion- As I stated previously, I will bring in the last form of Sharingan (which is also the most powerful form of Sharingan) in the next round. Furthermore, I have proven that Sharingan users are capable of summoning/doing some of the most powerful ninjutsus and genjutsus in existence, whereas the Rinnegan is not capable of doing any of these things. I hand over the next round to my opponent and wish him luck. [1] . http://naruto.wikia.com... [2] . http://naruto.wikia.com... [3] . http://naruto.wikia.com... [4] . http://naruto.wikia.com...
