The animators may have drawn things correctly, in sequence, but the _editors_ may have reused bits of footage (commonly done - saves time and effort) and missed the eyes. Another reason why copy-paste can bite you ;)

Madara's Ghost
<p>While I was watching Episode 322 of Naruto Shippuden, I found what I guess is a mistake:</p>

<p>First look at the picture:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/On019.jpg" alt=""></p>

<p>Since Madara came, he was using only Sharingan, and this can be seen until 07:43 in the picture, while he was dodging Gaara's sand attacks. However, when Naruto was above him with an Odama Rasengan, Madara suddenly could be seen with the Rinnegan on his eyes (07:45), and nobody noticed it like if it was a mistake. It should have been normal Sharingan.</p>

<p>Then, at 08:17, Madara was using the Mangekyou Sharingan, since he activated it after Naruto's attack to invoke the Susanoo.</p>

<p>And after that, at around 10:04, Madara was targeted by a Rasenshuriken, hence he had to activate the Rinnegan, and that was at 10:06. It was the first time that he did it since he came to life with Edo Tensei, and that could be confirmed from everybody's reaction when they saw his Rinnegan at around 10:56 ("Why does he have the Rinnegan?").</p>

<p><strong>Was it a mistake that they drew Madara with the Rinnegan at 07:45?</strong></p>

Good observation but I think this is a duplicate I just don't see the other question.

Why did Madara have Rinnegan before activating it and nobody noticed?
