I thought it was established fact that you can't use susanoo without eyes/eyesight.

1) Itachi's susanoo wore off when he became blind

2) Same for Sasuke


Was this a retcon or plot hole? Can anybody give a proper explanation for this?

It wasn't explained, and it never will be. Just crappy writing, like the huge majority of the war arc.

Susano'o doesn't come from the eyes, but from the Uchiha's special chakras :|

I already stated what happened to Itachi and Sasuke when they became blind. Their Susanoo vanished. That's what happened

Where is it said you can use Susanoo without eyes if you are an Uchiha? Madara seems the only exception :|

How does susanoo stay active when they close their eyes? Unlike the other ms techniques it doesn't come from the eyes.

They were exhausted and out of chakra you idiot. Don't compare Madara to these 2

Actually, there's evidence that suggests Itachi was already completely blind when using his full Susano'o against Sasuke.

Here, he says "I know this feeling" when Orochimaru uses his Hydra technique, instead of simply saying "this is...". This points to the fact that he wasn't able to see anything.

Itachi actually still had Susano activated before dying, it didnt wear off. But he wasnt completly blind either, although almost!

2) Same for Sasuke

Sasuke did loose control of Susano but i think it was rather because of how much stress he had just put on his eyes in such a small amount of time

Imo, there is no proper explanation

It seems like a plothole, plain and simple. I myself just try to forget it ever happened because it doesnt make any sense for a technique that requires the Mangekyo to awaken into one's eyes to be able to be used without the usage of those eyes or actually, without those eyes at all.

Sasuke and Itachi is different, because Itachi wasnt completly blind although he almost was, and Sasuke had just put an immense amount of stress on them so the pain was getting to him.

Well it gradually wore off as Itachi became blind. What about Sasuke then?

I often get tired of explaining this. Tobirama stated that the brains of Uchiha produce a special chakra into the eyes after traumatic experiences. This special chakra induces a change in the eyes. Susano'o is a manifestation of that chakra. The eyes are not required, unlike a technique such as Amaterasu, which needs eye contact. Itachi did use Susano'o for some time while blind, and then eventually lost the efficient levels to keep it up.

Susanoo is the manifestation of the user's chakra. You need the mangekyou to awaken it, not use it.

madara had one of the strongest chakra control in the shinobi history plus he had senju DNA that made a big impact from it
