<p>As you can see on the title, what I recall correctly is, every Mangekyou Sharingan user must have awoken the 3 Tomoe Sharingan before awakening the Mangekyou. For example: Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Fugaku. All of these users awoke their 3 Tomoe Sharingan and then later on awoke Mangekyou Sharingan.</p>
<p>But just now I found a small loop hole: Obito and Kakashi. Before they awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan, their previous Sharingan only has <strong>2 Tomoe</strong>. Here is the <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIltpFAFNmo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">clip</a></strong> that I found.</p>
<p>As you can see below, both of their eyes only have 2 Tomoe before Kakashi kills Rin.</p>

<p>But after Kakashi kills Rin, they instantly skip the 3 Tomoe Sharingan and jump straight to awakening the Mangekyou.</p>

<p><strong>How can they can skip the 3 Tomoe and instantly awaken the Mangekyou? Is this a small detail that the writer didn't explain?</strong></p>

<naruto>
Did the writer mention that 2 Tomoe Sharingan can instantly awaken into Mangekyou Sharingan?
