This true? Because if so, the boruto author really destroyed everything kishimoto set in the original series and shippuden. The point of each stage of the sharingan was 1) power traded for strong emotional responses. (IE through pain traded. Like itachi, obito and madara massacring the clan, witnessing rins death and the death of madaras brother that awakened them respectively.)

The fact of love being used to awaken is just fucking clowish because through each step the Uchiha had steeped closer into darkness each time they unlocked a new tomoe and the mangekyo which needed another mangekyo ultimately to ignore the issue of inevitable blindness.

Another reason why boruto is just fan fiction.

MUH PATRIARCHY!!
