I thought he needed eye contact for most genjutsu?

If not, this is either just a dumb plot device or super OP. Guy doesn't even need eye contact now? If he just uses it, potentially solos most people. It's ridiculous.

Personally, I chalk it up to plot.

itachi is an advanced genjutsu user, no eye contact needed

Sasuke was able to cast genjutsu on deidara from many dozens of meters away. Plot? Maybe. But it counts.

However in this instance, orochimaru had already tried to cast his immortality jutsu on itachi, itachi simply used his sharingan to reverse the process and trap orochimaru in his paralysis genjutsu.

Itachi has shown that he has non eye contact genjutsu

finger genjutsu was done with the point of a finger

and dusk crow genjutsu was done without handseals or eye contact..

He's a master of genjutsu... it would be unwise to think he doesn't have a few handseal genjutsu up his arsenal (genjutsu like kurenai uses)

Yeah.....kishi just loves trolling :bouncy:
We know that oro>J-man and Itachi admitted that J-man is superior to him.
Now since Itachi>oro which means, kishi contradicted himself.Poor kid has miserable math :hyper:

Sorry I can't remember every detail of that moment, but in the page you give he's clearly looking right at him. If no eye contact was had before this than being a master of genjutsu he could have likely used another type to temporarily bind Orochimaru until he could face him and use the sharingan. Also Itachi likely never trusted Orochimaru since he was keeping tabs on Akatsuki and being from the same village would have known of Orochimaru's evil past.

Itachi"s genjutsu is far beyond the way you need eye contact to spell it

well its not really faaar beyond. because other ninjas can also cast genjutsu without sharingan/eye contact. unless you think non-eye genjutsu is far beyond a sharingan genjutsu.

because that technique can 1 shot the weakling minato?

minato is just an insect compared to itachi

minato will end up like orochimaru

Wow lol u made me laugh Lol

Probably can, since he didn't make any eye contact, probably only tsukuyomi needs eye contact or it's an obvious kishi troll

You could make a case for sound based genjutsu being above base sharingan and arguably ms because it can affect multiple people.

Anyway ill say this.
That technique is sharingan based. It requires the sharingan [ ].

Besides i am not sure why you are surprised. Its been above roughly 300 chapters ago that itachi told us that he doesn't need his sharingan to cast genjutsu.

Likewise its been roughly 5 years or more that the 3rd DB stats were published and in that itachi gained a 5 in this field.

[ ].

Little alarming that at this stage in the manga questions are being asked about this

never saw this page of databook. but it says here that it requires eye to eye contact. so it wasn't a finger genjutsu then.

Orochimaru himself spoke about "great eye power" after being caught in Itachi's genjutsu. Obviously, it implies this genjutsu is a power granted by Itachi's eyes.
