I know how many times it failed but does it really need to kill someone for it to be useful?

amaterasu is a really useful jutsu it just happens that it's blocked or evaded otherwise it'll cause so much unneeded gore seriously it one-shoted 8 tails it would've killed it if it didn't have a jin just imagine gyuuki (alone without bee basically the bijuu it self without being inside someone) getting caught in it he'll have nowhere to escape and this applies to many other bijuu's and most of summons.

and it can even be uses to cancel out jutsu since it eats away chakra (like when itachi used it to counter sasuke's katon or sasuke's amaterasu getting through ay's lighting armor thus leaving him with no choice but to cut his arm) and it can be created instantly and hit the target very few can actually dodge it or block it.

combined with kagutsushi it can be taken to a whole other level as like forging weapons from the flames or transforming an existing mass for flames to spikes that can cut through thick ice that even a powerful character's like naruto had difficulties to break out of.

imagine with me that someone got hit with with amaterasu then kagutsushi was used on said flames in the same manner the amaterasu in kaguya's ice dimension needless to say the target would be cut to pieces in an instant.

or for example a susanoo kagutsushi arrow was shot and it hit the target like when sasuke's susanoo arrow hit danzo and in that same moment the arrow turned to spikes via kagutsushi.

amaterasu is quite useful for attack and defense and combined with kagutsushi it gives the user a dozen of weapons to use and add to that the ability to use it while susanoo is activated for some huge scale weapons.

discuss.

Amateratsu isn't bad

But it's actually overrated

Ama is overall lackluster and even Sasuke calls it a distraction.

It's underrated because it was nerfed from the gods he used it on Kaguya Juubi Madara etc.

It's a technique like many from the beginning of the manga (or from hundreds of chapters ago) that did not age well in terms of effectiveness. New enemies introduced that were stronger, more effective against it, techniques stronger than it. It didn't do well in staying strong. It still essentially kills anyone not in the top 20-30 ninja's in the entire verse, but it's useless against a competent fighter with sufficient speed (or another means of getting out of the users LoS like Muu's invisibility).

it was just used on bad match ups really.

if it was used one someone like like hashirama or kisame it would've been pretty effective.

You know kisame can absorb chakra right?

correct me if I'm wrong but he can absorb chakra but not jutsu using samehada unlike preta path users so it can do damage to kisame.

Only jutsus immune to Amaterasu are Mokuton, Deva, Kamui and Chakra cloak

Incorrect. He can't directly absorb chakra like a Preta user or him using Samehada. GSB has the ability to absorb and as such can get stronger in the path of the jutsu. Kisame can't absorb himself.

It is under-rated only on NB and probably NF. It's definitely the most powerful and versatile user-based Ninjutsu, given its effectiveness against all Nature and Chakra types. Too bad the manga never showed it against Earth. Would have loved to see how it responded to it.

Well he did absorb the chakra from Aoba's jutsu.

Indeed. 1 shots even the most powerfullest summonings. Highest ranking fire jutsu. Unable to be extinguished. Can spawn within a moments notice. can be used offensively and defensively. Can be shaped into different weapons. I say its a pretty darn good jutsu.
