Both Kakashi and Obito awaken their Mangekyou at the same time as told in this
question [When did Kakashi and Obito awaken their Mangekyou
Sharingan?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4484/when-did-kakashi-
and-obito-awaken-their-mangekyou-sharingan) The sharingan Kakashi owns
originally came from Obito, so is it due to Obito also being there at the
moment Rin died that Kakashi's Mangekyou also awakend? Or asked in a different
way. Would Kakashi have been able to awaken the Mangekyou without Obito being
there?

Did Kakashi's sharingan evolve because Obito was watching?


Interesting question with no definite answer, so I'll post my 2c here.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is activated by the immense grief caused by killing
the person closest to you. However, it seems like you don't actually have to
kill him, but witnessing his death is enough.

For example, Itachi did not actually kill Shisui, rather, he watched him
commit suicide (filler).

I believe that both of them awakened their Mangekyou Sharingans separately,
and because they were both at the scene when it happened, it happened
simultaneously.

The Sharingan was stated to be the result of special chakra inside a Uchiha's
brain altering their optic nerve when they lose those they love as Kakashi is
not a Uchiha he is unlikely to be able to produce the special chakra required
to gain the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito could still see through Kakashi's Sharingan when in close proximity had
showing he is still connected to the Sharingan he gave Kakashi so I believe
that through that connection the special chakra produced in Obito brain
evolving his Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan was trasfered to Kakashi's
Sharingan causing it to evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Both awoke mangekyou at the same time but only obito is aware of it and can
use it. It took kakashi much longer to recognise its existence and convert it
to a usable ninjutsu.

The visual prowess of the eye does not depend on the will of the person using
it but on the one to whom it originally belongs to (because of Madara using
his brother's visual prowess and even Sasuke using Itachi's visual prowess
without originally having the abilities. Also, Itachi used Shisui's visual
prowess without having Kotoamatsukami originally). Therefore, Kakashi did not
awaken the Mangekyou. It was Obito who awakened it in both eyes.
