Background
The Mangekyō Sharingan was available through the Main God Space's Bloodline exchange category, where Minato Namikaze recognized it as an advanced form of the Sharingan unfamiliar to him. 4
Its value was tied to the Sharingan's potential to evolve into the Rinnegan, a possibility widely known among Reincarnators and a major reason the bloodline was coveted. 88 Umbrella later targeted the Uchiha Clan for its exceptional mental power after learning that the Sharingan could evolve into the Rinnegan and potentially be used for Infinite Tsukuyomi. 110
Appearance
In its documented awakening through Itachi Uchiha, the Mangekyō Sharingan retained the Sharingan's blood-red iris but replaced the tomoe with a four-pointed pinwheel pattern. 97
- Itachi's eye changed directly from a one-tomoe Sharingan. 97
- The transformed pupil pattern resembled a four-pointed pinwheel. 97
- Jill Valentine recognized the pattern immediately as a Mangekyō Sharingan. 97

- Mr. Bei used his Mangekyō to counter Shisui Uchiha's genjutsu. 83

Evolution toward the Rinnegan

- The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is described as the highest stage below the Rinnegan. 110
- Hashirama Senju cells are a key component in the evolution process, but were insufficient for Wesker's transplanted Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 110
- The stated successful route requires Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—or, more precisely, the fusion of Indra's Chakra and Asura's Chakra—to obtain the Rinnegan's Power of Creation. 110
- Madara later considered evolving another pair of Sharingan after returning to his peak. 152
