I dont think Rin and Sakura are parallels, despite they share the same background the difference of personality between Rin and Sakura is huge.
Parallelism =/= same personality.
Mirroring or parallels - A character or incident mirrors another character or incident when the two follow similar plots, act in similar ways or contain similar elements or traits.
Just like a metaphor, it is almost never 'confirmed', because it is too obvious. An author is not going to say "He's 'bad to the bone'... by the way, that just means he's really bad, and, really has nothing to do with bones."
One thing I noticed that I'm trying to make sense of is when Obito went and reached into the pool of chakra that has all the beasts power formed together. why is it that Kurama is the only one that's separate to the juubi? and significantly smaller at that...

Kurama is probably separate from the group because he's only recently been absorbed. He's also probably smaller because he hasn't become part of the coagulation.
Questions in my hear right now:
1. What did Rin actually said to Minato?
MangaPanda and MangaStream has a different translation to it again.. although i'm leaning more to MangaPanda on this since cutting that sentence off (or keeping it vague until later on to be completed) is more "fitting" than actually saying "I just know how to handle them"
2. What will happen after Naruto wakes up? Will he really wake up this time? is that method of giving the bijuu back to him would work?
what if won't? although that's unlikely that it will not work but it can still be a possibility like Obito transferred it to Nardo already but Sakura will go "but nothing is happening!?"
3. If granted Nardo wakes up, will he fight immediately? he's like.. dead with a hot chick pumping his heart for him.
will the healing time pave way to NS moment??? yeah i'm trying to keep my expectations low here
will she forget how to breathe again when she sees Nardo back alive? will she hurt him and ask him to give her back her first kissu? lol
4. will Obito die after removing the bijuus out?
how will NarSak go out of that dimension? hope that Kishi will not do the same thing to NS like what he did to Kakashi when he battle Obito in that dimension and he was like only shown after awhile
5. IS there any other meaning to Sakura's fear of Madara? I'm not questioning her being like that. Its understandable to be frozen in the middle of that chaos where she could do nothing and everyone is the edge being fed with kitten. but i just wonder if Kishi means something more or something else on it. Madara didn't cast some genjutsu on her to kill Nardo/obito right? lol
1. I've come across a number of translators who have said Mangapanda's translations are the closest to the actual meaning. Mangastream likes to add/ change things to make it flow better.
2. It doesn't matter, he's going to be back anyways.
3. I would expect some touching scene with Minato and then Obito. Pairing stuff will probably take a back seat as these two will die first.
4. Obito would probably die, it seems like the only way for him to be 'redeemed' in the eyes of everyone else. He's never going to start over, and I doubt he'd want to. He's also too powerful for Kishimoto to let him walk. Either way, he's going to die to make way for Sasuke as the new Big Bad.
5. Madara can probably kill her by just looking at her. He's not going to go to the trouble of doing something fancy by the looks of it.
