If you’re a Naruto fan, you’re probably familiar with the Rinne Sharingan and Rinnegan Dojutsu. They both are the strongest Dojutsu in the Naruto series. Also, both Dojutsu played a major role in the story of Naruto. Both Rinne Sharingan and Rinnegan give the users Godly powers like Chibaku Tensei and Infinite Tsukuyomi and there are also not many differences or major power gaps between them. But which is stronger in RinneSharingan vs Rinnegan?
Only a very few Shinobi got their hands on Rinnegan, But other than Kaguya we couldn’t see any other shinobi using Rinne Sharingan except for Madara Uchiha he used it for a short amount of time, just to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi Genjutsu. But however, both Dojutsu abilities are incredibly powerful and can make the difference between life and death in a battle.
So we gonna explore the abilities of both Rinnegan and Rinne Sharingan, and do a Rinne Sharingan vs Rinnegan match and know which is actually stronger. So without any delay let us dive into it.
What is Rinnegan
Rinnegan is the strongest visual eye after the Rinnesharingan and could be equally powerful as Rinnesharingan, but we never got the actual word on it. In the Naruto series, Rinnegan easily surpasses Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan, and there are a ton of abilities and Jutsu that is granted to Rinnegan users.
It’s gonna be a long list if we gonna look at every Rinnegan Jutsu, So let’s look at the top Rinnegan Techniques some of them are, Rinnegan users are able to bring people back from death and Can Cast Powerful Genjutsu even more powerful than Mangekyou Sharingan, Using Rinnegan full power user can create a full-size moon and can seal Shinobi in them, and Can control Gravity. These are some of the strongest Rinnegan Abilities that we got to see in the Naruto Series.
But the Rinnegan is wielded by only a few Shinobi, including the Sage of Six Paths, Madara and Sasuke. In the whole Naruto series, only 3 People were able to awaken Rinnegan. That’s for the small introduction to Rinnegan let’s look at RinneSharingan next.
What is Rinnesharingan?
Rinnesharingan is the strongest Visual Eye in the Naruto series which was wielded by the Mother of Chakra Kaguya Otsutsuki. It is the first Visual eye that started the Kaguya Era and also the start of the Visual eyes on Earth.
The Rinnesharingan has nearly all the powers of the Rinnegan and some abilities which can surpass Rinnegan like the ability to cast powerful Genjutsu in the Naruto Series known as Infinite Tsukuyomi. Rinnesharingan powers were split into other Visual power like Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, and Rinengan. So the Rinnesharingan has all the abilities of the Dojutsu in the Narutoverse.
Rinnesharingan has been used by Kaguya Otsutsuki and using the Rinnesharingan Kaguya can change her surroundings to 6 Interlinked Dimensions, She can use a similar technique to Kamui, She can Summon Black Chakra Rods, She can cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. These were some of the Powerful Rinnesharingan powers in the Narutoverse.
History and Origin of Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan
The History and Origin of Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan take back to the origin of the Shinobi World and Kaguya Era. The first user of Rinnegan was the Hagoromo Otsutsuki A.K.A Sage of Six Paths, he awakened the Rinnegan after killing his brother Hamura Otsutsuki and later on, his chakra is passed down to his children Indra and Asura Otsutsuki.
Later on, the whole Shinobi world and clans came into existence. The clans Uchiha and Senju have the most chakra of the Sage of Six Paths because they were created by Indra ( Uchiha Clan ) and Asura ( Senju Clan ). So it is said that later on after Hagoromo Otsutsuki the Rinnegan is awakened by combining the chakra of Indra and Asura meaning the Chakra of an Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan.
By combining both of those Chakra, A Shinobi can attain the Sage of Six Paths Chakra which is Rinnegan. This is exactly how Madara awakened his Rinnegan and the other Rinnegan user in the Naruto series is Sasuke Uchiha, He got his Rinnegan directly from the Sage of Six Paths in the 4th Great Ninja War to defeat Ten-Tails Madara Uchiha. Other than Madara and Sasuke there were no other Shinobi who awakened the Rinnegan.
There was not really much information provided in the Naruto series about the origin of the Rinne Sharingan, we only know that Kaguya Otsutsuki awakened the Rinnesharingan on her forehead, after consuming the God tree Chakra Fruit and she cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi and took the entire earth into her control. Other than that we didn’t get much information on the history of Rinnesharingan.
Differences between Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan
First let’s look at some differences between Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan, The key difference between Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan is their appearance. While Rinnegan gives Purple eyeballs to the users, Rinnesharingan gives Red eyeballs with additional abilities.
Rinnesharingan is awakened when Kaguya Otsutsuki ate the Chakra Fruit from God Tree and became the first person on earth to possess Visual powers. It is nearly impossible for any other Shinobi to awaken Rinnesharingan because there is no other God Tree in the Shinobi world. But Rinnegan can be awakened by possessing both Uchiha and Senju Chakra.
| Differences | Rinnegan | Rinnesharingan |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Purple eyes with concentric circles and Tomoe | Red eyes with three overlapping ellipses |
| Origins | Evolved from the Sharingan and can be obtained through the combination of Senju and Uchiha Chakra | Can be Obtained after eating the Chakra Fruit of God Tree |

Similarities between Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan
Despite the differences between Rinnegan and Rinnesharingan, they also share some similarities. For instance, both Visual eyes give the user to see and sense chakra. The 2 also allow users to cast powerful Genjutsu and Ninjutsu including summoning the Gedo Statue, the Ten-Tails, and Outer Path.
| Similarities |
|---|
| Both are powerful Dojutsu in Narutoverse |
| Both allow the user to see and Sense chakra |
| Both allow users to cast powerful Genjutsu and Ninjutsu |

Strengths and Weaknesses of Rinnegan
Rinnegan gives access to all the Six Paths techniques, which allow the user to use techniques from all the Chakra natures. It also grants the user access to all 6 Paths of the Sage of Six Paths which are the Deva Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, and Naraka Path.
Which were used by Nagato ( Pain ) in the Naruto series, The full potential of the Sage of Six Paths can be seen in Pain Arc of Naruto Anime. Additionally, the Rinnegan allows the user to summon the Gedo Statue and also powerful Genjutsu.
However, Rinnegan also has its weaknesses. To awaken the Rinnegan the user needs both the Uchiha and Senju Chakra Without both of these, we can’t get our hands on Rinnegan or use the Rinnegan abilities.
Furthermore, Rinnegan’s abilities consume a large amount of chakra, and if the user uses the Rinnegan abilities carelessly it may lead to a complete drain of the user’s chakra and ultimately leads to the death of the user.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Rinnesharingan
Rinnesharingan is the most powerful Dojutsu in the Naruto series and it has many strengths which make it the strongest, one of its biggest strengths is that it allows the user to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Which is the strongest Genjutsu in the whole Naruto series. Rinnesharingan also grants the user the ability to bring back people from death. Also additionally, the Rinnesharingan allows the user to control the Ten-Tails and use its powers and abilities for both offense and defense.
However, the Rinnesharingan also has its weaknesses just like Rinnegan had. Some of them are it can only be awakened by eating the God Tree Chakra fruit, which means after Kaguya Otsutsuki no other Shinobi can awaken the Rinnesharingan.
Also, just like the Rinnegan major weakness, the Rinnesharingan major weakness is its huge use of chakra reserves. It requires a large Chakra reserve to use a single Rinnesharingan ability. We got to see it in the Naruto series, Even though Kaguya has the entire chakra of the Shinobi world.
She uses her Chakra wisely in the fight with Naruto and Sasuke. So the usage of Rinnesharingan doesn’t empty all her chakra. So we can conclude just like the Rinengan major weakness, in the Rinnesharingan too if the user of the Rinnesharingan uses multiple powerful techniques their chakra runs out quickly, and at last, they will be draining their entire chakra reserves, which then leads to the death of the user.
Which is Stronger: Rinnegan Vs Rinnesharingan?
Finally, which is stronger Rinnegan vs Rinnesharingan both of their own Strengths and weaknesses. But if we have to pick a winner it would be Rinnesharingan because even though it needs a vast amount of charka to use, the user has the entire chakra of the Shinobi world so the chakra would be sufficient to defeat even an opponent like Isshiki Otsutsuki in a 1v1 fight.
But Rinnegan Chakra Reserves are very low compared to Rinnegsharingan and whenever a powerful Rinnegan technique is used the user should wait a certain amount of time to again activate the Rinnegan, which is a huge red flag in a fight. Even though Kaguya was defeated at the end of the Naruto anime even having the Rinnesharingan.
She didn’t go all in the fight and didn’t use Rinnesharingan’s full potential because she couldn’t fight her own son’s incarnations. But when she was about to use her full potential at the end of the fight by transforming into Ten-Tails, She was sealed by Naruto and Sasuke. But if there is a 1v1 fight against Rinnesharingan Kaguya and Rinnegan Madara or Sasuke the win would be Kaguya because of the abilities of Rinnesharingan.
