<p>Maybe the other eye is only for Sharingan, or he can't have two Rinnegans because it might replace his Sharingan permanently. However, one thing is for sure: he might use Sharingan and Rinnegan at the same time in the future.</p>

I guess it's only your speculation. Try to support your answer by providing some facts or cite some sources. Thanks!

<p>My opinion is that he chose not to use the other one. With the Rinnegan not able to use Sharingan's abilities, it's probably better to use both at the same time. Madara was seen switching back and forth between the Rinnegan and Sharingan, so it should be something that Sasuke can do as well.</p>

The switching you mentioned happened only in Anime. Not in manga.

Madara was able to use all of the Sharingan's abilities with the rinnegan active. So that point is almost surely false.

<p>Sasuke's Rinnegan is exactly the same Rinnegan of Kaguya's 3rd eye and Madara's 3rd eye. Since, Madara's 3rd eye and Kaguya's 3rd eye are one and the same, this means that there is only one such eye.</p>

Can you give a source or link for your 'claim' about "*Sasuke's rinnegan is exact same rinnegan of Kaguya's 3rd eye and Madara's 3rd eye it awoke*"? Thanks

<p>For starters: Sasuke's Rinnegan is <strong>not</strong> the same as Kaguya's/Madara's Rinne Sharingan (not to be confused with Madara's Rinnegan, I'm talking about the one in the middle of the forehead of both of them).</p>

I don't watch Naruto, so I don't know if the edit I made to the title is a spoiler. If it is, please feel free to change it to something else.

It's as much of a spoiler as it was. Either way, it is what it is.

@V-Moy I won't be closing this one, no :P This is a perfectly acceptable question here. It's spoiler-y by nature, so there's not much we can do about it.

This is an acceptable question but the answers are merely speculations/theories. The manga did not reveal when or how sasuke obtained the rinnegan. Nevertheless, still a good question.

Would it have been wrong to make this question more generic, e.g., "Why does this character have only one rinnegan?" or "Why does character x* have only one rinnegan?" to improve spoiler security? The x* could signal this is the most spoilery part.

For starters: Sasuke's Rinnegan is **not** the same as Kaguya's/Madara's Rinne Sharingan (not to be confused with Madara's Rinnegan, I'm talking about the one in the middle of the forehead of both of them).

* Sasuke's Rinnegan has 6 tomoe, Rinne Sharingan has (at least) 9.
* Sasuke's Rinnegan is blue, Rinne Sharingan is red.

The reason Sasuke only has the Rinnegan in one eye was not mentioned or explained in either the series or the data book. So we can only speculate.

In no particular order, here are my speculations:

* Hagoromo only gave Sasuke enough chakra to awaken the Rinnegan in one eye.
* That's the best Sasuke can do without fusing Asura's chakra.
* It's the cool factor.

Maybe the other eye is only for Sharingan, or he can't have two Rinnegans because it might replace his Sharingan permanently. However, one thing is for sure: he might use Sharingan and Rinnegan at the same time in the future.
