Why Sasuke Never Uses His Rinnegan Abilities

Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan during the Naruto War Arc, but unfortunately he never uses his Rinnegan abilities. The only Rinnegan jutsu he appears to use is Amenotejikara, his signature Rinnegan ability. Yet, when it comes to the Six Paths of the Rinnegan Sasuke practically never uses them, which is unfortunate.

He's pretty much the worst Rinnegan user as far as variety of abilities is concerned. We could have definitely seen more stuff from his Rinnegan during the Naruto vs Sasuke at the end of the series, Sasuke vs Madara, or Sasuke vs Kaguya. Other than Amenotejikara Sasuke only uses Chibaku Tensei and the Preta Path. And he doesn't even use the Preta Path the way he should.

What's the strongest Rinnegan ability?

i never understood why Sasuke never made a summoning contract with Naruto, considering the animal path allows you to summon humans, and with reverse summoning both characters would now have permanent insurance to always be able to rely on the other.

Edit: lads. Naruto not being an „animal“ dosnt matter to the animal path. Nagato has summoned other paths of pain and even Konan with it, Sage of Six paths has summoned Naruto and Sasuke with it. (Though it is unclear if thats just cause: sage of six paths stuff) fact of the matter is: it has been shown the animal path is able to summon other humans.

He never used it, because he was preparing himself to lose it in Boruto.

Wait, I just realized… if Sasuke wanted to, he could have replaced his missing arm in battle with the Asura Path. Hell, he could probably make a Chidori laser or used several arms to control several Kirin all at once! Maybe he could even encase himself in Amaterasu and then use Shinra Tensei to send it all flying, crating a shockwave of burning black fire! Using stuff like that would have given him and Naruto the edge to kick Jigen’s ass if he used all those abilities and more!

Jeez! Sasuke Uchiha, biggest nerfed character of all of Shonen Jump! Goshdarnit, Kishimoto-sama, Kodachi-San and Ikemoto! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was actually fine with Sasuke not using many Rinnegan abilities in Naruto because he just learned it after all.
What REALLY bothers me is that during Boruto he still never uses anything other than his swapping ability.
Like, doesn't he have a decade of experience using the Rinnegan? He should be at least Nagato tier by now.

[icyauk]

He didn't use his Rinnegone because he would be too broken. That's the reason why every rinnegan user besides Nagato never uses their eye to its full potential.

[echidnwa]

He used planetary devastation and almighty push/pull in shippuden but we never saw that again when he became an adult 😭

[Eclipsing_SUN]

If you think about it, Sasuke's rinnegan swap ability is basically substitution jutsu unhinged, so his tool kit didn't change much.

[joshuaperry]

Lets be honest, the only reason sasuke doesn't use the rinnegan much is because the author knows it would make him too strong, sasuke could've beaten naruto in the valley of The end if he was just smart about how he used The rinnegan, he could've used chakra absorption and all the other paths to win fairly easily

There’s no reason why he couldn’t pick up sage mode either.

He mastered curse mark 2, which is a sketchy ass sage mode.

Madara, sasukes past life, masters hashiramas sage mode instantly.

But then kishimoto wouldn’t be able to say “they’re equal”

[deelaw.]

When Sasuke teleported Madara in between himself and Naruto for the sealing rasengan and black chidori. He didn't just make uim appear it's implied that he swapper Madara with his limbo clone.

[desolation]

I never really understood though why Naruto lost or stopped using 6 Paths abilities after he fought Sasuke. Sasuke could still use his abilities. But Naruto stopped flying, stopped using the truthseeker orbs, etc.
Seems like a plot hole to me...

[justthefacts]

Ok imagine a character STRONGER than hagaromo, wielding a MORE POWERFUL rinnegan than hagaromo, using said rinnegan to its full potential boruto. Kishimoto didn’t allow sasuke to utilize any of the six paths because he’d simply be far too broken for the plot.

[josiahcmiller]

The truth is Kishimoto didn’t want to have to think about all the powers his characters had stacked up.

It takes complex writing and Kishimoto clearly didn’t want to deal with it.

This is what happens when you keep adding character powers in your comics and aren’t good enough at writing with all of them.

[whiteflame]

The rinnegan should have just stayed as something only Nagato had. It became so watered down and pointless to have multiple characters with it who don't even use it lmao.

[sauce]

Finally, someone’s who is speaking facts. Excluding hagaromo, I think Nagato is the strongest Rinnegan user

[carter]

Honestly Sasuke having the ability to form himself a new hand should really have shown up during the boruto fights.

I get atoning for hia sins but when Konoha is being threatened you'd think thats a reason to have both hands back even if only for the most dire fights.

[mceky]

Kaguya fires a bone. Swap places with kaguya. Roll credits.

[sohammitra]

The Rinnegan was just too OP with too many hax abilities

[luisdj]

You're wrong. Sasuke switched Madara with one of his Limbo clones.
