Don't 당신 think the way 당신 get the mangekyo sharingan is a bit lame .. i mean how is killing someone dear 또는 watching them die related to a change of chakra 또는 whatever iside the body to produce a new ninjutsu weapon ?

Emotions can effect your body dramatically. People can literally die of grief. All the process for obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan is is a multiplied version of obtaining a normal Sharingan for the first time. A powerful emotion, usually fear 또는 pain, causes some kind of reaction in the the body that activates the Uchiha bloodlimit.

It's the emotion killing your best friend causes that gives 당신 the Mangekyo, not the act itself.

*Spoiler*
That's why Sasuke's didn't activate his until Tobi told him the truth about Itachi instead of just right after Itachi died.
