So we all saw nagato get sealed and defeated after fighting Naruto, Killer Bee, And edo itachi.
This leads many to say "nagato was unstoppable but still got defeated by itach in one chapter".
i'm not going to discuss the things people already bring up like:
nagato doing his best to announce his attacks to allow for his defeat,
taking the power of a tailed beast ball, a rasenshuriken, and itachi's attack to defeat chibaku tensei and ALL of that stuff
I'm going to bring up something i haven't heard yet. And its that edo tensei favors some people more than others.
The main benefit of being edo tensei'd is unlimited chaka essentially. You don't have unlimited capacity (so for example, edo naruto couldn't just make a rasengan as large as the moon or something), but it has extremely quick regen regardless of stamina (i know this was nerfed a bit with the edo hokages later)
What is itachi's main problem? he has almost no stamina. You can SAY it was because his sickness, but we know nothing about that illness. When he got it, how it effected him. All we know is that even as back as far as part 1 itachi was unable to use more than 2 mangekyo sharingan attacks without getting tired.
What is nagato's best trait? His chakra capacity. He weilds the rinnegan, sure, better than anyone, however its because his reserves are so stupidly large that he's able to do this.
There's a reason itachi wasn't even confident that him and kisame could beat jiraiya. Itachi has 1-2 attacks maximum before he uses too much chakra.
NOTE: Itachi DID do a bit more during his fight with sasuke, but if you recall, he then died because he used too much chakra...
we know that amaterasu can be dispelled with shinra tensei. We know that eyes of a higher rank are unable to be affected by genjutsu cast by lesser eyes and rinnegan >MS on the eye tier. We know that kabuto had to fully control nagato and that kabuto didn't even know the full extent of his abilities.
Anyway thats my piece. Edo itachi is >>>>> regular itachi, but EDO nagato is only >= regular nagato
