Itachi edo is stronger than his regular self. Itachi was sick. He couldn't spam attacks.
No, Edo Itachi is weaker, he gains the benefit of not being sick but his stats are all lower, same with other edo tensei's. Madara shown greater speed when he was revived than edo Madara for instants and Hashirama said Madara got his old powers back as well. Edo's don't have infinite chakra either, they can run out of chakra as shown with Minato and Hashirama; it just takes time to refill. Jiraiya is stronger than Itachi overall though, Itachi's illness and MS side effect is what tips the scale in his favor.
jirairy cant beat tendo pain let alone all of them at the same time.
what are jirairy's counter to itachi's jutsus? he has none
Itachi > jirairy
Amaterasu can be countered with Shadow clone, earth jutsu, fire jutsu, oil. Amaterasu burns what it hits so it will stop to burn a fire ball, earth wall, or clone. Itachi also need to close his eye to build up chakra which leaves time for Jiraiya to use one of the jutsus mentioned. Tsukuyomi needs to be close range, have eye contact and Itachi needs to close his eye to build up the chakra which leaves time for a counter attack. Susanoo will sink from swamp of the underworld or be takened down from frog song (Ma toad use dust cloud to hide their location and he can use it where yata mirror isn't blocking, they would do this after learning that Yata block attacks and that's if it can block genjutsus which isn't attacks). Kabuto's sound genjutsu took down Sasuke's and Itachi's Susanoo and Frog song is stronger since it paralyzes the body and mind.
Itachi and Jiraiya are portrayed to be around the same level. The only thing that really hurts Jiraiya's case is that Itachi makes his fellow Sannin (who is arguably stronger than Jiraiya) look like his pet. Itachi would defeat Jiraiya imo.
Nope, you make it seem like A>B>C when it's not. Jiraiya has his own fighting style and you never seen Oro and Jiraiya seriously fight to kill at full power. Oro never had killing intent with Itachi since he wanted his body, however he does fail the first time by being weaker, he fails the second time for having lack of info that the sword was totsuki blade. What hurts Itachi's case is his illness that prevent him from going all out or else he'll start to cough up blood and die, the side effect pain from his MS jutsus, low stamina and him being a pacifist which is why Itachi usually doesn't attack first but does after he is attacked.
yet jirairy has no counter to itachi's ms techs.
hashirama beat madara twice.
naruto > sasuke.
and your wrong its not that they couldnt beat him, he hid in another dimension so they couldnt find him and even after he tried to 1v1 the one pein he stabbed him in his shoulder
Amaterasu: shadow clones, fire jutsus, oil, earth jutsu can all block the attack since its stops to burn what it hits. Tsukuyomi: need to be in close range, need eye contact, need to close eyes to build up. Jiraiya can have clones attack non-stop, have Ma toad use dust cloud, Chou oodama rasengan is so big that no eye contact will happen and boil oil will force Itachi to use Susanoo to block it. Susanoo will get sink by swamp of the underworld which at 30% power, Jiraiya made one large enough to sink a giant summon.
The 6 paths came out after Jiraiya was exhausted, he was first fighting 1 pein then 3 (which he killed), got surprised attacked and lost an arm then all 6 came.
Jiraiya has no counters for Itachi's MS?
Tsukuyomi: Shadow Clone, Itachi uses it on a clone and it's over for Itachi. Also it's a close range attack. And it requires eye contact. Furthermore, it doesn't kill. Sage Mode Jiraiya has two partners on his shoulder. And I'm sure all his summons will be out.
Amaterasu: Fire seal. Shadow Clone. Substitution. Speed (Sasuke Ran From It). Toad Subjugation. Earth Style to block.
Susano: Swamp of the Underworld. Keep his distance. 5 minutes of Susano will kill Itachi.
Agreed ^^^
