Who cares? This has everything to do with strength and nothing to do with skill. Kakashi? That guy has skill with swords?

Too bad I don't agree.

I mean he used zabuza's sword to solo the greatest generation of the seven mist swordsmen... but you know if it ain't sauce it doesn't mean anything....

Cool.

In a sword fight only without dojutsu or anything else? I doubt it
Sasuke's reactions and speed have increased greatly since that fight. Even without doujutsu, B would be competing with someone in the same tier as a juubi jin. I'm not sure how much sasuke would depend on the sharingan though so you could be right but it wouldn't be a stomp match by any means

ok...

1. sharingan doesn't discredit sasukes skill

2. current sasuke would still lose to bee in a swordfight, nothings changed

3. kenjutsu is a martial art so speed & strength are the foundations of determined ''skill''

4. again, bee(feats) & mifune(hype/implication) are the best swordsmen in the manga and it doesn't even matter after them

Jubi jins are actually physically faster than Sasuke. He possess the eye when Naruto possess the body. It's how they have been portrayed and he showed no on-panel speed feat difference, relying on his dojutsu(teleportation) to move. The Blitz against Madara happened off-panel, which could be possibly a continuous use of teleportation to arrive in Madara's reach. Everytime we've seen Sasuke on panel, he used teleportation to reach a target. It's for that reason i'm actually doubtful in the fact he is actually faster than before.

Madara reacted to minato in sage mode after using ftg by cutting his arm. He couldn't react to sasuke. Also a series of teleportations is assumption. Sasuke was already extremely fast when he had ems (footspeed that matched kcm naruto and sm madara). He even tracked the movement of juubito to save naruto. It's not a stretch to think current sasuke's footspeed can keep up with madara. He was using doijutsu at the time but those were against powerful opponents. B isn't exactly top tier now. With that said, restricting all other techniques, current sasuke would beat killer B in a sword fight.

Yeah i know i'm assuming concerning the teleportation thing, but considering that like i've said, Sasuke so far showed no difference in speed on panel, it's not something that should be ignored.

Also, EMS(Sharingan extension) helps to have better reflexive speed in battle because you can read moves in advance. It doesn't increase your speed but helps you to move accordingly to the reading ability of the dojutsu.

Sasuke got a new Rinnengan similar to that of Kaguya. It's possible his reading capability is even beyond everything showed so far, which could explain his faster movements against Jubi Jin Madara. Besides, Madara didn't even seem to care Sasuke cut him considering his only purpose was to reach the other dimension(thing that he succeeded into)

Yes it doesn't give you greater speed however 50% of the sosp powers does. Madara might not have cared but all he could do was generate a thought, something that takes very little amount of time. It's not like he could have done much in that time anyway.

Killer Bee with absolutely zero diff. The man can use 7 swords at once, allowing him to attack at such speed that Sharingan cannot read them. Furthermore, he has Samehada and defeated Suigetsu in using Zabuza's sword. He actually combines skills and raw power together. Did someone say Sasuke is on par? [ ]. Nice joke.​

Can I see those amazing difference between the current Sasuke and his previous level?​

His speed and power have greatly increased. It might have something to do with the powers he received from the sosp.

You see...the key word here is ''might''. What you are doing is speculating something that we are unaware of. The powers Sasuke received from Hagoromo are Yin and Rinnegan.​

I was being sarcastic. It is directly related to the powers he received from the sosp. For example sasuke's speed went from where he wasn't able to keep up with juubito, to where he ran down madara with a massive headstart (outside his range of using his s/t technique. Yin power and rinnegan doesn't give you more speed so we can only say that sasuke received these powers along with yin and rinnegan powers from the sage.

I am concerned about your understanding power-up and Kenjutsu. Furthermore, he was using continuous instantaneous teleportation. The topic is about his Kenjutsu. There is a vast difference between skill and power.​

It is an attribute increase. Sasuke was already skilled in the start of shippuden with kenjutsu. Doesn't increased power and speed also increase skill? If a boxer trains to get faster, so that he can throw punches quicker and dance around in the ring better, doesn't his boxing skill increase? Same with sasuke. Increase in speed means he's able to swing his sword faster and become quicker with evasion. This increase is massive since he last fought B so it stands to reason that he's better.

In Boxing Speed doesn't equal skill.

Killer B would beat Sasuke in a pure kenjustu battle with no KKG or justu.
