I don't think he did either. It's still unclear, but he likely unlocked Rinnegan shortly after that battle, and then died a while later. I'm guessing he was bloody weakened from the battle, and couldn't use the Rinnegan to its fullest.
More than enough time to create a being (Tobi) that would try to revive him sometime down the road with his full strength intact. awesome
Indeed. Either Kishi is leaving EMS for Sasuke, or EMS is just a slightly upgraded version of MS without the eventual blindness aspect, which in all honesty, it should be.
Also, I'm digging Madara's SS3 hair.

That's a good point; I never though the body flicker could actually be related to the space-time. Although, if they are the same, Tobi's ability should not have been a surprise; Shisui was well known by that name so obviously, people were familiar with the ability.

They aren't the same and it doesn't seem like Shunshin is S/T related.
EDIT: Aura, you think Shunshin = Shunpo? 😛
