I've seen a lot of people recently using a particular argument in current Naruto vs. Sasuke debates - that Sasuke will be able to withstand anything Naruto can throw at him if he manages to achieve Perfect Susano'o. People justify this idea by saying that it's already been shown that Madara's Perfect Susano'o can take a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Bomb with little to no damage, but in the interest of logic I need to point out that this is an incredibly flawed argument. Madara is one of the most powerful characters in the Narutoverse - why? Because of his own merits. He was born naturally gifted, gained tons of battle experience from the constant war going on during his young adulthood, and was motivated to become stronger than he already was by the presence of his rival, Hashirama, who was similar in all of the aformentioned ways. He is not strong because he has the Perfect Susano'o, his Perfect Susano'o is strong because he is extremely powerful on his own, and because he has years of experience in using the technique. Trying to claim that Sasuke's (as of now hypothetical) Perfect Susano'o would be just as strong as Madara's is like saying a Genin who just learned the Fireball Jutsu would be able to do just as much damage with it as a Kage who has mastered the technique completely. It's totally illogical. "A weapon is only as good as the hand that wields it." If this Madara/Sasuke argument had any basis in logic, then Ay shouldn't have been able to damage Sasuke's Susano'o ribcage during the Five Kage Summit battle. After all, Ay attacked Madara when the latter was protected by his Susano'o ribcage and was not able to make so much as a dent; but when he performed a similar attack on Sasuke, he cracked the ribcage and sent Sasuke flying.
I'm not saying Sasuke doesn't have the potential to achieve Perfect Susano'o, or that if he does it's not going to be super-powerful; it undoubtedly will be. But trying to prematurely judge the strength of a technique a character can't even use yet using the strength of another, far more powerful, character's usage of that technique, just because it's the same ability, is ridiculous.
