No, that doesn't qualify. By that logic, everytime a new tech is introduced, it's an asspull. That makes no sense. Itachi having those techs didn't defy logic. He's one of the most secretive shinobi in this series, he was bound to have a few trump cards and when he revealed them, the majority of the fandom wasn't surprised. Having trump cards and saving your most powerful techs is called being smart, not defying plot.

An asspull/plothole is more along the lines of breaking pre-established rules. Like, Kakashi copying susano'o, when it's stated in pt1 that one needs the kekkai genkai/bloodline to copy anything, something he lacks due to not being an Uchiha. (No hate on Kakashi, he's still cool. U_U )

Don't put yourself in the same mind of an author of a popular manga because this is the type of shit you'll come up with

Itachi is nothing but a stepping stool for Sasuke's development and for Sasuke's story in the plot..Itachi is indeed a plot device...just a tool for Sasuke.

Sure it was, it was clearly explained that Itachi got them from somewhere before Orochimaru did. He didn't go in depth to keep the mystery, yet another example of the perfect story telling he accomplished with Itachi. An asspull would be for example Kakashi using PS after having the eyes for all of 2 seconds. See the difference?

it wasn't clearly explained at all. it was just. oh hay I have a giant skeleton deity protecting me with magical weapons I found on a rainbow =_=

Basically, but then there are he maniacs (his fanbase) that think he's still relevant to the plot.

Chie explained it better than I ever could.^

So is Sasuke dead or something? Because that's the only way Itachi could ever be irrelevant.

I am truly astounded at the way some of these people are denying what the thread maker said because it means they either didn't read that text or they can't understand the logic in it.

Why did Kakashi have to be brought into this? Would you prefer if Kakashi used PS and didn't explain it for mysterious reasons?

Actually, his fanbase talks less frequently about him than you haters. He gets 4-5 hating threads a day which ironically gives description of his worth and a secret frustration of haters knowing that worth.

Isn't every character a device to further the plot? Otherwise there would be none right? And no his weapons are not asspulls.

This.

What you are saying in this thread is apsurd.

I just wanted to give an example of an asspull. Don't get upset Kakashi is still cool in my book, it's Kishi that I blame for it.

Nice new profile pic XD
OT: IMO, the ethereal weapons were probably made by ethereal beings, and Itachi might have been gifted them or just found them in a puddle. No way of knowing and very little relevance to plot at this point

10-20 threads made by itachi wankers like you a day saying he is stronger than someone he was never in the same league with from the get go. threads saying how itachi would be doing so much better than sasuke if he was in his shoes right now. threads comparing sasuke to itachi in general. threads complaining about itachi not having ps or wondering what his would look like. etc.. basically itachi fanbase is just denial and envy.

He gets 4-5 hate threads a day because he gets 5-6 "OMG MAD TOTSUKA HAXX" threads per day. Most people that hate his character hate him because people refuse to shut up about an extremely irrelevant character, while comparing him to the most powerful characters in the series.

Obito, Kakashi and Sasuke also get similar "fanboy" threads but they don't get the hate threads of that magnitude. There's also rarely people who actually elaborate their opinion, even if the fantasy battle is formed. "Obito>Itachi" or "Itaci>Obito" is just too painful to read.
