I think people are mis interpreting Izanami.

I hear a lot of people say that you need to be troubled and denying reality for Izanami to work on you. This is not entirely true. Izanami works by capturing two moments with your sharingan and looping a frame of time between those moments. You can do that with your sharingan regardless of whether or not someone is denying themself or reality. Saving those who denied reality was just the original purpose of izanami, but that doesn't mean that it can't be used against other people.

It is like saying that I bought a shot gun to protect my home from intruders. Protecting my home is the original purpose, but that doesn't mean that I can't leisurely use it to go hunting every once in a while. If you're wondering how a non-troubled person would get out of it or what they would have to realize in order to escape, it could just be something like "you can't beat me".

I could imagine Madara putting Hashirama under Izanami. Hashirama might ask "What is it that you're trying to get me to realize?"
Madara would then say something like "You need to realize that I'm better than you Hashirama".

It is also possible that someone like Hashirama just simply couldn't get out of Izanami. In either case, the fact that someone is not troubled could not stop an Uchiha from doing whatever they want with their eyes.

Izanami only works on people who try to deny who they are or are unwilling to accept their lot in life,that's exactly why Itachi used it against Kabuto.

You just stated the exact misinterpretation that I just explained the incorrectness of.

Except it came from Kishi himself when explaining what Izanami does,Izanagi allows a person to "cheat" their destiny which is why Izanagi was created to stop those who are unwilling to accept themselves and their paths in life.

Yes. Kishi said that this was why izanami was created. He did not say that it could only be used under these circumstances. Think about my shot gun analogy.

Even if it could be used on other people Izanami would'nt be as effective on someone like say.....Naruto who has no doubts about who he is.

Or just the opposite. It could trap Naruto in it forever because he has no doubts. It could also be where Naruto just has to realize that he can't beat the opponent in order to escape izanzmi.

Naruto has doubts.....everyone does, there isn't a human alive that has not been in doubt before, not opinion......fact!

Inzanami holds ones destiny and puts you in a loop.

In order to escape, you have to realize that you have been defeated. (In battle)

Purpose is to counter inzangi.

I still think inzangi>inzanami, you need to learn how to use it right
