Did the Sharingan get retconned in the sense of what it takes to trigger it? In early Naruto Sasuke says it’s rare, but like… Every named Uchiha has one. Could it be that it just became more rare over time because of less bloodshed? It seems like it got retconned in Boruto all together with Sarada’s as it’s just any strong emotion rather then trauma.
Some Dude: Hokage-sama! The village has been attacked!
Hiruzen, doing calligraphy or some shit: How many ANBU are lying dead?
Dude: About six, in a creepy panning shot with a discordant chord!
Hiruzen, sucking on the tip of his brush like a weirdo: Ahhhh, yes. Despite the fact that we only graduate 9 genin per year, and only promoted one genin to chuunin in the last exams, six of our most elite soldiers dying is merely slightly alarming, because after all, none of them had names. This threat will call for… *camera zooms in* characters with names.
Basically, if you’re an Uchiha with a name you got the Sharingan.
Yeah the whole “strong feeling” bullshit is part of the cavalcade of bullshit in Naruto Gaiden: Scarlet Spring. What, Sarada is the first Uchiha to ever experience enormous joy and expectation? Really? Really?
The first Naruto Gaiden manga is so awful, and the second Naruto Gaiden (Full Moon) is so aggressively awful, that I’ve come to the point of headcanoning that Kishimoto actively hates his own creation and is trying to kill it. I don’t actually believe that it’s true, but it is more satisfying than the alternative, which is that Kishimoto actually thinks he’s produced a good story about admirable heroes.
