Explaining the Sharingan

hello everybody how are all of you doing today so I cog a here and I think it's about time I finally talked about Naruto for once for my first informative Naruto video I can't think of anything better to talk about than the Sharingan without you - of the Uchiha clan and possibly one of the most broken abilities and all of fiction this soapy little ability right here made its debut in Chapter 12 of the Naruto manga when Kakashi first pulled it out to save team 7 from Zabuza the Sharingan first use was explosive and gave the audience a glimpse of what someone with just one Sharingan could do Kakashi displayed all sorts of abilities like subtle genjutsu used the ability to mirror an opponent's movements the ability to outright copy and tire jutsu and so on the Sharingan completely turned the tide of the battle in Kakashi's favor leaving Zabuza decimated and out of commission for over a week if it wasn't already clear enough the Sharingan is story at least has the potential to be one of the most powerful abilities in the world of Naruto even in its earliest stages the Sharingan is still potent enough to give its user access to some ridiculous abilities like when Sasuke managed to copy Rockley speed and taijutsu prowess with an incomplete pair of Sharingan or an Obito managed to see through the camouflage technique of an enemy stone ninja with a pair of Sharingan that he'd just awakened before I get ahead of myself let me go ahead and give a general breakdown of what the Sharingan is its name translates to copy wheel I though this name doesn't do a very good job summarizing what the Sharingan can do granted one of the base Sharingan most notable abilities is the ability to copy any technique the user sees but there's a lot more to a plain Sharingan than the ability to just copy jutsu alone in essence the purpose of the base Sharingan is to augment the user's vision and reflexes to an incredible degree giving them access to dozens of different smaller bonus abilities as a result acquisition of the Sharingan well a bit sporadic and inconsistent in some regards is at least a pretty straightforward concept to explain at face value put simply attaining the Sharingan is like going super saiyan and Dragonball Z in the sense that it awakens in response to a powerful emotional reaction the emotion doesn't seem to need to be one of any particular kind it can be stress a desire to protect the grief over the death of a loved one the joy of accomplishing something and anything in between Sasuke awakened his Sharingan in response to the annihilation of the yuichi huh clan Obito awakened his Sharingan due to his immense resolve to protect running Kakashi Florida awakened her Sharingan in response to the excitement she felt when she learned she might be able to finally meet her father and the list goes on whatever that emotion may be once the shinobi is it assuming they're in Uchiha of course their brain will begin to emit a special form of chakra that affects their optic nerves and the yuichi eyes eyes will thereafter evolve into the Sharingan it is possible for nanu Chia to acquire the Sharingan under rare circumstances but this can only be done by transplanting the eyes of an Uchiha who is already unlocked the Sharingan into ever it is that wants it additionally use of the Sharingan by analogy is highly discouraged as it drains a monstrous amount of chakra and can leave the users entire body immobile for up to a week the abilities of the Sharingan all fall under one of two categories the eye of insight and the eye of hypnotism though contrary to what the names imply these abilities are not literally restricted to one eye or the other the eye of insight focuses on granting the user increased perceptive abilities and is what the Sharingan famous copy ability stems from thanks to the eye of insight users of the Sharingan are capable of seeing chakra and a visible form and can furthermore distinguish the sources of the chakra based on the color the Sharingan labels it with the user can also detect irregularities within the chakra being observed and whether the irregularities are self-inflicted or brought on by outside causes like genjutsu adding on to what I mentioned earlier the eye of insight grants the user an incredible boost in perception allowing them to read lips predict an enemy's oncoming attacks based on muscle movements and tension perceiving decode incredibly subtle movements like pencil movements from afar in order to learn exactly what someone may be writing etc final note where the ability granted by the eye of insight is of course the Sharingan ability to copy any technique the user sees within reason anyway as long as the Sharingan user is physically capable of performing the jutsu that they wish to copy they will be able to perform it on their own after seeing it once with the Sharingan of course this means that kicking in Chi and other similar abilities cannot be copied nor can abilities that rely on nature transformations that the Sharingan user has not yet mastered the abilities granted by the eye of hypnotism deal with as you'd expect manipulation of a foe psyche or in other words feats related to various forms of hypnotism the most notable of these is the users ability to use the shine guns genjutsu simply labelled genjutsu Sharingan which at its most potent can place a target under the complete control of the genjutsu caster of course the Sharingan is capable of initiating less extreme forms of genjutsu quite a few good examples can actually be seen during Sasuke's fight with Danzo or less extreme forms of control the eye of hypnotism can subtly coerce targets into giving up important information or as seen during the fight between Kakashi and Zappos I'll lead targets into performing actions at the will of the genjutsu caster when performing these minor acts of control as possible to keep the person being manipulated completely unaware that they are under the effects of the sharingan genjutsu which dramatically increases the genjutsu potency and versatility as I mentioned earlier though at its most potent the eye of hypnotism allows for absolute complete control of a person or creature and the Uchiha are particularly infamous for their use of disability to hypnotize the nine tailed fox both Obito and moderate have used the Sharingan to fully tame the QB in the past and as far as I'm aware there have been no stated negative side effects for doing something like this while all of these abilities are available to an Uchiha from the Sharingan earliest stages they will only be at their most potent when the Sharingan has fully progressed to its final stage luckily for the Uchiha and the audience for that matter tracking the progress of the Sharingan is easy and can be done by simply counting the number of Tomoe present in the eye one Tommo indicates that the Sharingan is in its primary stage two indicates it is progressed into its secondary stage and three indicates that the eye has fully evolved progressing the Sharingan through these stages is pretty easy but incredibly time consuming is the only known way to evolve a Sharingan is through continued training and use of the DOE jutsu the best way to describe it is by comparing it to leveling up in an RPG the more you use a certain skill the more proficient you'll become with that skill and the same is true for the Sharingan despite how incredible the abilities of the eye of insight and eye of hypnotism may be they pale in comparison to the base Sharingan ultimate techniques Izanagi and Izanami actually applying these techniques is a bit difficult under normal circumstances since one use of either technique renders one of the users Sharingan useless but the sheer power of both techniques more than makes up for the insane cause izanagi is again jutsu technique that is cast on the user instead of an enemy and it effectively bridges the gap between reality and illusion wallet is active it gives the user a degree of control over themselves that they would only be able to manage within again jutsu without actually trapping them in one their body remains physically real but all injuries that they sustained do not when at first debuted in chapter 476 Dawn's are repeatedly used it to negate otherwise fatal blows during his battle with Sasuke effectively putting him in a state of temporary immortality put most simply the primary use for izanagi is to negate death by rewriting a critical injury or fatal blow is nothing more than an illusion allowing the user to reappear completely unscathed when he's in awe he was first revealed it was said that only someone the DNA of both the Senju and beauty how could pull off again jutsu but according to Itachi in the past there were plenty of Uchiha capable of using the technique so in regardless the technique is incredibly powerful and can even be set to go off at a particular time or under certain conditions as seen when moderate said it to go off after his death allowing him to revive himself after his death at the hands of Rama Izanami on the other hand is again jutsu that like most others is meant to be cast on a foe according to Itachi's an ami was created to punish Yugi huh who would abuse these and Nagi in the past but like I mentioned before therein lies the problem since you cheer without the DNA thus ends you were originally said to be unable to use these and I so I guess that's not the case I guess all Chia can use these in Oggy and send you DNA just makes using it easier but anyway let me go ahead and explain what Izanami does well ease and Oggy is the ultimate genjutsu that can be cast on oneself Izanami is the most powerful genjutsu that can be cast on another person now granted the technique can only affect one person at a time as far as I'm aware but it looks to me like a clear-cut instant wind technique based on what little B audience has been shown the specifics of the technique are a bit complicated so forgive me if I don't do a very good job describing how it works Izanami is performed by selecting an arbitrary moment using the Sharingan to record the ongoing physical sensations of both the users body and the targets body during that moment and then replicating that moment exactly at a later point this can be done with more than one moment to increase the chance of the genjutsu success but that's optional and again it only increases the chance that the genjutsu will work it is not required anyhow once the user has replicated whatever moment or moments they've picked the target will be trapped in the temporal loop where they will witness the events between the first moment the user specified in the replication of said moment non-stop until the genjutsu ends since this is again due to the temporal loop I just mentioned obviously happens inside the mind of the target meaning that while they are trapped in Izanami they are left completely immobile furthermore escaping the genjutsu is impossible even if the caster dies after Izanami is put into action until the victim acknowledges their mistakes or takes a closer look at themselves or whatever it seems to only really have an effect on people who aren't good natured or haven't really found themselves so if you use it on somebody completely pure of heart like Naruto or whatever I doubt it would be too effective but all right moving on Izanami can be cast without making direct eye contact and dis instead cast by well actually I'm not exactly sure how a victim is trapped in Izanami since neither the anime nor the manga explained this but it worked on Kabuto even after he disabled both his eyesight and hearing and since this is a visual genjutsu I can't imagine that this would feed off of any of Kabuto other senses so yeah in short Izanami is incredibly dangerous an instant wind technique like I mentioned earlier the main downside to both Izanagi and Izanami is like I mentioned earlier the fact that just one use of either jutsu will permanently blind the user in one eye which is a really huge loss considering how many other abilities the Sharingan gives a person access to in rare cases it's possible to restore these lost eyes the way moderate Jia did but there are pretty tight restrictions for doing so so that's honestly barely even worth mentioning now despite how much I've already covered I've only scratched the tip of the iceberg here I briefly touched on the evolution of the Sharingan earlier and said that a Sharingan with three Tomoe is fully evolved well that's not entirely true see there exists a super powerful evolution of the Sharingan that only a handful of Uchiha actually possess and that is the mangekyo sharingan sadly this is all I've got time for but tune in next time to hear me talk about the mangekyo sharingan and all of its super crazy powers love you all to death and hope to speak with you soon sweat keg al bye haha
