Why can't Kakashi close the Sharingan?

[Hunter]

Well at least it reminded me why pinguins were the most useful summon for ninja.

[Yellow Flash]

Was that really necessary? This thread is three years old.

[Illuyankas]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Oh, oh, this is great. Really.

YOU, of all people, can not say that.

[Rurik]

But the Question is still valid, Kakashi can develope the 3rd dot

Spoiler:

Do the MS and revert back top the normal SHaringan

yet no off switch?

[Illuyankas]

Maybe switching the eye on/off stresses it too much, causing the blindness - that could be why Kakashi hides it all the time, to stave off going blind in that eye...

[portgas D ace]

Now I just read chapter 69 of the manga, and Orochimaru phrased it differently than they did in the anime. He said, "That sharingan is your left eye" I know that Kakashi is or was a member of the Uchiha clan because the Sharingan is a trademark move. But why can't he close it like Sasuke can? I figure that the Sharingan is the reason that he keeps that eye covered as to not creep some people out. And the more of the manga that I read, the more I think the the anime's budget is being saved from making revisions to the script. They use everything that the manga says. Every line and phrase came from the manga. They changed minor things, and threw some things in for the filler episodes. Not complaining, but I never thought that it was THIS similar to the manga. The manga moves so fast. But I still love the action scenes best in the anime. They flow better because you can see the whole moves. But the anime has the signature freeze moments from the manga if you know what I mean.

omg read more of the manga it said

Spoiler:

obito gave his sharingan to kakashi right before he died as a gift for him for becoming a jounin.... he cant clsot it because it was given to him like that.... damn n00bs....

Please try checking the date of the post next time.

[Integra]

yeah... we all know that Obito gave to Kakashi his sharingan like that... but why could Kakashi develop the sharingan but can't close it?
aaand, Rin should know that the eye wouldn't come back to normal, as she is a medic nin, why wouldn't she say to obito changed it before give the eye to kakashi?
yeah, maybe Kakashi wouldn't be able to change from normal to sharingan again... but if he can develop it he should be able to activate it too...
i just think kishimoto did this way to make kakashi put his bandana on his eye and look more "misterious" and cool :P hehehe

[sk8tmaniac]

this is how kakashi got the sharingan

Spoiler for manga:

When Kakashi graduated as a jounin, his teammates had to give him a present, but Uchiha Obito forgot. They also had to do a mission on the same day. On that mission to the grasslands, they got attacked by a group on rock ninjas. The rock ninja's can turn invisible, and slashed Kakashi's left eye (that's how he got the scar). Later, Uchiha Obito gets his whole right side crushed by a huge rock thrown by a rock-ninja. With the last of his strength, Obito tells Kakashi the last gift he will ever give to him is his left Sharingan eye. So then Rin, with her special ability, transplanted Obito's eye to Kakashi.

[amOKchen]

It takes the blood of an uchiha to awake the sharingan, and maybe the same counts when releasing it.
But since Kakashi got the eye while it was in the awakened state, he got all the bonuses and could work with the eye from there and improve it :P?
Wild guess.

[warmachine v2.0]

This thread is way old. Kakashih cant turn it off cuz hes not of Uchiha blood. Thats it. Thats all. Close thread now please, put it out of its misery.

It's because it was fused surgically as people have said with his scarred, or broke or crushed eye. So as long as his eye works, sharingan will be on.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Spoiler for manga:

He doesn't have the kekkei genkai, that's why, as far as I know. Even though he got it from Obito, if he had the kekkei genkai I bet he would have been able to "turn it off".

Spoiler for manga:

That's right..it is also very stupid when you think of it.
To activate a sharingan is easier then to activate MS.
The MS is able to change back to normal sharingan but he cant turn it off.

The sharingan definetly evolved and even after so many years it hasnt adapted to his body and blood.

[ZGoten]

The Readers of the Gaiden know a few details about his father. But not about the mother.
If we expect Kakshi´s parents to were a non-uchiha and a have-uchiha, Kakashi could have the body of an uchiha, like Fei-San said, but not the Bloodline.

Just look at this:

Mother: AB
Father: BB

Possibilities: AB, BB, AB, BB

These are all the genetic possibilites, for Kakashi to be. A = bloodline; B = no bloodline.

So there is a 50% Chance of becoming a Child with the genes of the bloodline.
But even the "ABs" only have a 50% chance ove getting the bloodline or just have it in your genes, but not being able to activate it.

So overall, with Kakashi´s father to be non-uchiha and his mother to be a half uchiha, there was only a 25% chance for Kakashi to receive the bloodline, but he didnt.

A chance of 100% to have and really activate the bloodline is only possible by pairing two full-uchiha ("AA and AA"). A 100% Chance of having the bloodline, and 50% chance of being able to activate it, is possible with: "AA, BB".
----------------------------------------------------------

But, to be true, I don´t think one of Kakashi´s parents was an uchiha.

[pizzajincuuriki]

Hm. We never do see anything about kakashi's mom. Wonder who it might be. I doubt it will ever be explained tho so I pretty much brought that up for nothing.

[Bari_Phillis]

Spoiler for manga:

lmao that this thread is three years old HAHAHA!

so if obito gave him his eye when his sharingan was activated, he wouldn't be able to use it at all?

ummm, he cant close it because its not his eye and he can't control it! obito is actually alive! and pupeteering kakashi (jk)

-but the fat that its not really his eye and it was "implanted" be medical jutsu could be the reason

[KyuubiRocks]

This thread is FOUR YEARS OLD!!!...lol

He can't close it..because he's not an Uchiha!..

But before he died, Uchiha Obito offered to give Kakashi one of his Sharingan eyes as a gift for becoming a Jounin. The other member, a female, was a medical ninja, who performed the surgery on the spot of Obito's death, and hence, Kakashi's Sharingan was born. Yes, since he is not of the Uchiha clan, he uses up more chakra than a normal Uchiha member does. Although he has the Sharingan, he can still fall victim of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is a technique that Itachi uses to control time and space inside the mind who falls into his trap. It is said that anyone with the Sharingan can defeat this but since Kakashi is not Uchiha, he can fall victim. Nice history lesson for you guys. If I am incorrect with some of my information, feel free to correct me

lol this is too late but look at the time they posted it the kakashi arc wasnt released yet..
