Re: Chapter 581 - New Jutsu
Edit: Sorry, I didn't want to miss anyone, lol.
lol, I predicted this a while back
I was on wikipedia and I found out about Izanami and Izanagi
So Izanami had to be it's partner jutsu
You're not alone, you're a member of the Izanami predictors club for NB. Further, that excludes all the other forums around the world where people came to the same prediction. Cheers. :izuna:
Peace
yeaa it does lose one of your eyes, just like izanagi
But i THINK that itachi is using it due to being an edo, so he could possibly just regenerate back to his previous eye state
idk , if he can spam an op jutsu like that, he has this in the bag
[/COLOR]
The most likely self-risk of Izanami is losing the light given that the risk of the two most powerful Sharingan power ups/jutsu (MS/Izanagi) are losing the light forever. Further, the Uchiha draw all their power from their eyes, well at least the vast majority, so again it seems fitting. Further, it's Izanami is a doujutsu. Three obvious reasons, to speculate that blindness is the normal result; however, as you noted, Itachi is an Edo Tensei and regenerates, so what the hell.
Peace
Makes genjutsu reality for the opponent. Itachi imagines Kabuto releasing ET and it happens.
Yeah, this is the most concise, and logical answer on the thread. Other people have nailed it too, but not so concisely. +rep.
Peace
Tbh i already knew what it did a will back because i read on myths anyway and the way kishi has said what izanagi does, it makes sense to assume that izanami would be the opposite.
So izanagi casts genjutsu on the user and turns reality into illusions.
With izanami it casts genjutsu on the opponent and turns illusions into reality. Therefore basically itachi can determine any of his opponents fate with this jutsu alone.
Also he is dead anyway therefore even if he loses and eye, it doesnt matter although due to edo tensei he might regain it back. He might be using edo tensei's regeneration abilities to his advantage
An excellent summary, even better by putting it in the context of Izanagi and mentioning Itachi's ET's status, which may preclude him from the Kinjutsu's self-imposed risk of "his windmill losing the light" (i.e. blindness).
Peace
Not a big deal to me. Itachi will lose one eye or both to take down Kabuto
As a mortal, I'd agree that'd be a strong possibility. As an Edo Tensei, I doubt that'll happen except at best temporarily due to the regeneration component of being an Edo Tensei.
Albeit, you bring up an interesting point. With Izanagi, we know that you lose 1 eye, the eye you cast Izanagi with. I wonder if Izanami is the same or if it's cost is higher. Good point on that.
Peace
Another thing; Does it require Senju DNA? We know that it is Izanagi pair, and Izanagi requires Senju DNA. Would it be therefore logical to assume Izanami also requires both Uchiha and Senju DNA?
I highly doubt it. Itachi, particularly in the post-time-skip era, has been all about being the ideal Uchiha as demonstrated most highly during his meeting/battle with Sasuke and demonstrating the MS's powers and the clan's secrets and history. He's not like a Tobi, Danzou, and ET Madara who are idealists towards the Rikudou Sennin. Itachi is an idealist towards the Uchiha line, and as such, I can't see him (or perhaps I should say Kishi the author/artist) diluting his character by taking a power from the Senju or any other line to augment him. Rather, he'll maximize the Uchiha line for now and Sasuke may after him.
Peace
Atleast kishi has basically put the vs thread concerning itachi vs minato to rest, imo. Thank you kishi :izuna:
Seriously? That vs. thread is more immortal than damn near anything in the Narutoverse, lol. It's never dying. We'll die before it does, book it! :sy:
Peace
great another tech for the ms. and here i though it would be reserved for the ems. Well at least sasuke hopefully will play a part in izanami since he has ems.
I'm thinking this the last tech of MS there's not more japanese gods left.
What's Sasuke gonna do? This is an Uchiha Sharingan Kinjutsu that may not even require the MS. Itachi is protecting Sasuke right now while he's performing Izanami against Kabuto.

Lol, yeah, there's at least 5 jutsu for Sasuke now with EMS - Tsukiyomi, Ameratsu (also Blaze Release), Susanoo, 4th EMS doujutsu [unknown], Izanami [likely causes blindness, it's a Kinjutsu], ...
Peace
That would just be like the genjutsu that Sasuke used on Danzo to make him think he still had an eye left, so basically that's just a basic genjutsu.
That was actually Tsukiyomi. It just sucked, so it seemed like a basic genjutsu, lol. If you go back and reread, you'll see it was in fact Tsukiyomi. Tobi comments on it being crappy too I believe, lol. His EMS version seems improved though based on the White Zetsu clone's response.
Peace
Yeah, i'm pretty sure Sasuke will learn how to use this technique. But I just think, if it hits, it's an auto win. That's why there must be another unkown factor we don't know about, because it is just too OP IMO......
This is an Uchiha Kinjutsu, so of course there's a downside. It's likely blindness, but Itachi is an ET who can regenerate while Sasuke is a mortal who can't do that. I don't foresee Sasuke spamming this jutsu.
Peace
Uchiha = tons of free OP upgrades
Senju = has to work hard for everything they get
Also - Kabuto must know what Izanami is, he and Orochimaru probably knew of it already.
Also - why didn't Danzo use it instead of burning all his eyes for Izanagi like an idiot.
I'm thinking Kabuto is gonna have to end edo to prevent getting pwned by Itachi here if he knows what Izanami is.
This has been happening all series long, so why complain about it now. Further, you can't compare the hard working Senju, since they haven't been around this series at all except for Tsunade, and we haven't seen her train. All we've seen is Naruto, who's a half-Uzumaki, distant blood relatives to the Senju. Further, his latest and greatest power ups have been coming fast and furious, so I'm not bothered.
As for why Danzou didn't use it. My simplest proposition (then applying Occam's razor) is that he didn't know about it. He apparently had all the tools it would seem DNA wise along with the Sharingans, unless you have to be a blood-born Uchiha to perform this (that seems doubtful since he could pull of Izanagi). Alternatively, he believed in his other strategy with Izanagi alone, as he clearly underestimated Sasuke. I don't know with certainty.
Peace
