The Fact is that form is a last resort the separation of Kisame and Samehada is a temporary plot, something for the start of the battle before fusing. Once Samehada is no in his hand Genjutsu would work perfectly. Even with Sameheda in hand Tsukuyomi is still a fact. Once fused together with his Samehada completely he is capable of being placed into a Genjutsu. You spoke that when Kisame is fused with the Samehada that he can sense therefore he would not be capable of being placed under a Genjutsu. This is not the case. Samehada allows him to feel Chakra[

], which is different from sensing. The ability to be able to sense still does not prevent Genjutsu I am curious to your notion on this. Another argument that I have seen you bring up is that Kisame when fused with Samehada absorbs on contact therefore he would be safe from Amaterasu. While it is true that Kisame once fused can absorb chakra upon contact,but Amaterasu is a completely different echelon of ninjutsu. It has yet to be seen absorbed. Nagato's preta path did not absorb the Amaterasu he utilized Shinra Tensei instead[

]. This leads to the disbelief that Amaterasu can even be absorbed. This along with Samehada dislike for an average Fire affinity[

], and Amaterasu being the hottest form of fire Ninjutsu is another thing that discredit to the doctrine of Samehada absorbing Amaterasu. With the two large disclaimers about Sameheda capabilities to absorb Amaterasu it is in no way valid to indicate it would absorb the enton flames. There are so many complications in Samehada for it to even be used against Itachi the average way. Samehada also possess the capability of Judgement, it has personality[

]. Sameheda has shown to switch Users simply because of more favorable chakra. Samehada may simple refuse to absorb Amaterasu(if it could) simply because it's dislike to fire. Who's to say Susanoo does not look like a Delicious food for Samehada it being filled with so many layers of Chakra would be the perfect bait to drive Samehada from the fuse and towards Itachi. As I said their are two many complications between Samehada for it to even be used against Itachi in a theoretical way.
feeling chakra is sensing. He would notice chakra in a genjutsu.
Itachi take samehada away from Kisame is easier side than done by a long shot.
Kisame knows Itachi well if he knows he would need to fuse to win he would do it, so it's no a last resort thing.
Ama is not the hot fire tech. Pakuras scorch releash has been shown to be hot killing on contract while ama fail to do so on a fodder samuri, A and Karin.
Kisame can naturally absorb chakra that pierce his skin ama will be absorbed period. Chakra is chakra unless it's senjutsu which it isn't.
Samehada would not leave Kisame for Itachi. It went to bee cause octopus flavor is it's fav
fused Kisame has no weaknesses(stated by himself as well) logicly Kisame would be Itachi
Sasori takes care of Kisame easy. Kisame has no way to counteract poison, and his defense is his regenerative powers, which is perfect for Sasori.
Water dome+1000 sharks, try useing puppets in there. Sasori won't be able to use puppet effectively in heavy shark infested water.
Deidara's C4 would mess Kisame up, and Kisame I do not think can fight well against opponents in the air.
long range shark attacks absorbing chakra from clay, waterdome+ fusion
Itachi has genjutsu which is almost instant (Tsukiyomi), which takes care of Kisame.
I already stated how Kisame counters this get with the times+ Kisame has more ways of take out Itachi nd great shark missle is 1
Pein is obvious.
agree
Against Kakuzu it's close, but I put Kakuzu higher because he has a better chance against the other members than Kisame.
Ninjutsu(element)=useless on Kisame
Zetsu is definitely weaker.
Not so sure about Konan. That one could be close, but I would give it to Kisame because of his regeneration.
try again. Actually it's late and I'm tired I'll reply tommorrow
