Even more, it can cause considerable damage to their being, leaving the body in agonising pain and causing deterioration to their vision until eventually over-usage leaves them blind. It drains a considerable amount of chakra when simply activating and maintaining the advanced dōjutsu, and even more through each technique used. Even for true wielders, usage of the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities can cause a great strain on the user. Using them comes with a certain sensation that sensors can feel, although it doesn't show which technique is being prepared. Abilities of a Mangekyō Sharingan can also be programmed to activate under certain circumstances, either within the user's own eyes or in a target of the user's choosing this programming remains even after death. Unlike the standard Sharingan, a transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan can be freely activated or deactivated by non-Uchiha at will.

The Mangekyō Sharingan also grants its user the ability to read and decode the Uchiha Clan's Stone Tablet to a greater degree than the standard Sharingan, but to a lesser one than the Rinnegan.Īs with any dōjutsu, Mangekyō Sharingan can be transplanted into non-Uchiha, granting them all its abilities albeit with steeper chakra demands. Madara was able to sense this form and later deduced that he and Sasuke must be connected by more than blood. In even rarer occasions, it is possible for one to manifest the straight tomoe ( 直巴, choku tomoe) as in the case of both Madara and Sasuke, granting them greater fluidity in their movements when fighting.

Once a user awakens the Mangekyō in both eyes, they are able to perform Susanoo, even without either eyes. Likewise, each eye may not even be limited to just one ability, as at least Itachi's right eye has Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.Īs each eye houses the particular dōjutsu, one can only access them if they currently house the said eye, even if they were the originator of the said technique. The abilities of a Mangekyō Sharingan may not be the same for both of a single user's eyes, as Sasuke's left eye can unleash Amaterasu while the right eye can manipulate his flames with Kagutsuchi. In addition to that, the Mangekyō grants powerful abilities that differ between each eye, though abilities may be similar in nature both Sasuke and Itachi have access to Amaterasu's flames, though the extent to which they can use them differ, Sasuke's control of Amaterasu being regarded as superior to Itachi's. The Mangekyō Sharingan retains all of the Sharingan's generic abilities, enhancing them all. Uchiha have historically misunderstood this criteria as the user needing to be responsible for the person's death, and for that reason they developed the practice of killing their closest loved ones in order to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan. It is initially awakened by the trauma suffered from witnessing the loss of someone dear, usually their death. While the exact design differs for each user, they all resemble pinwheels.
