I don't really understand why this eye jutsu is that overrated, a jutsu that even has no feats in battle, a jutsu coming from someone we have even never seen fighting. We know that Danzo even managed to take his eye before he actually uses it, that means to use it there are some precaution needed, but people actually ignore it since they have never seen Shisui fighting, but they still overrate this eye ability

Some people say that Shisuis eye can be cast without eye contact, and i don't know where this nonsense come from. It's still an eye genjutsu. Like Sasuke asked Itachi, . But because Mifune was under Danzos genjutsu during the Kage Summit while Danzo was hiding his eye at that moment, people actually believe that because it was the case, Danzo doesn't need eye contact to cast the genjutsu.

But really, how do you know Danzo didn't made eye contact with Mifune? There was a time before the presentation and the kage summit. What makes you believe that during that moment, Danzo didn't do something about it? There are also some skiptime during the kage summit. Maybe, Danzo took advantage of when some of kages where reckless to remove a part of his bandage and control Mifune at that moment(after all i think they were facing each other). There are many things that could have happen especially when we talk about a jutsu we don't even know very well.

But what is to notice is that when he fought Sasuke, when he wanted to use KA, he removed his bandage. If really eye contact wasn't needed, why did he wanted to remove it? In the contrary, it would have been better if he could have landed it as a surprise attack, but he didn't

So these are the reason why i do believe that Shisuis KA also needs eye contact. It's also an eye jutsu, so don't know how or why it could happen otherwise

I just hope kishi will eventually create an itachi or shisui gaiden or something so we actually see its abilities and know for sure

Well it sounds useful but people seem to think avoiding eye contact or w/e is impossible.

That may be true, but we don't know that happened. While we can infer things, the manga supports that KA can be done without eye contact.

I think it's just as overpowered as it seems. Reasons Kishi had to get rid of it one way or another. Shisui was trying to use his genjutsu to stop the massacre but Danzo stopped him before he could. It doesn't make KA anymore less powerful than we thought. In a one on one fight the genjutsu is literally unstoppable. The circumstance in which Shisui tried to use the jutsu allowed Danzo to stop him.

If the genjutsu really required eye contact why was Danzo controlling Mifune without even looking at him. The byakugan user noticed Danzo controllling him while he was talking. So there is no way to disapprove this.

Nice thread.
I know the sharingan genjutsu has to have eye contact.
maybe he was able to cast the genjutsu on mifune because the bandage was not thick enough to stop the chakra flow or something?

I agree that it's overrated here. But i don't agree that it needs eye contact, and i actually believe it's just an amazing jutsu. Any jutsu with a 10 year cooldown has to be OP as ****.

In which page was it said that?

How the hell did Danzo take off his bandages, note this takes forever, use KA on Mifune and NO ONE NOTICE? I hope you're not serious.

Obviously he's not because not only is that a horrible assumption. Danzo was the last one to show up to the Summit and after that they immediately started the meeting.

Well, first of all Danzo and Mifune were standing one in front of another.


So while they were talking and so, clearly Danzo got eye to eye with Mifune. :)
But the whole thing surrounding Shisui's eye is still unclear.
