so without bird he beats izanami and totsuka/yata ???

lol hows a bird gonna help him with yata and izanami....totsuka can be countered with ama orb or susanoo arrow which is longer range. All sasuke needs to do is maintain a good distance and its over for itachi. Not to mention itachi will lose his stamina way before sasuke does because he only has MS, and ama/tsukyomi are also useless against sasuke

EDIT: lol the hwak didnt die, this is the last you see of it

Itachi giving Sasuke his eyes has nothing to do with this thread. I'm simply stating current Sasuke > The Itachi we've actually seen...
oh ok!!
I disagree with that too.
Itachi is more experienced smart and calm to handle a battle like this.Plus Sasuke doesn't have any counter for Izanami.Itachi would have to wait an eternity for Sasuke to realize his mistakes and break through Izanami.

Like Itachi's gonna get the chance to "prepare" for Izanami.

And yeah, the Hawk never died.

Sasuke > Itachi

He might be slightly smarter than sasuke, but sasuke is significantly stronger than him. The only thing that could work is izanami and thats assuming sasuke doesnt already accept his destiny. Because imo he seems pretty accepting of his new destiny

realizing his mistakes and then accept his fate...no I don't think Sasuke is there yet.He wants to destroy Konoha even though Itachi explained him his reasons for his actions...he can't even accept and respect Itachi's decision to sacrifice himself and protect his village.I don't think he is realizing his mistakes.
He has to prepare for Izanami actually. Something he won't do.
Why not??

yata mirror disagrees with you, Itachi's stregth was more than just his eyes, he was sick and still managed to beat the hell outta Sasuke while he was terminally ill. Sasuke's strength is ninjutsu, and yata mirror virtually neutralizes any and all of that, and sasukes speed, taijutsu, and genjutsu is inferior to Itachi in almost every way, Itachi also has Izanagi and Izanami, both of which would probably allow someone of his caliber to easily finish off Sasuke.

Sasuke literally has nothing with which he can hurt, trick, or overwhelm Itachi, who toyed with him while he was sick and going blind, which means he pretty much fought on par with a 3 tomoe sharingan user while handicapped and was still superior. Healthy Itachi>>>>EMS Sasuke, sick Itachi>EMS Sasuke

Who says Sasuke has to attack while Itachi's Susano'o is up. He can summon his hawk, get into a good distance, and just watch Itachi as he wastes' all his chakra... So no.

Enton > Taijutsu. With Enton, Itachi can't touch him

Logic fails. Bottom line is, Itachi was a MS user, and Sasuke was just a basic 3T.

Why not??

Because Sasuke can bombard him with attacks, not allowing him to.

It's quite clear for me Sasuke has surpassed Itachi. I mean, he surpassed him the moment he got the EMS. I understand people use the Kabuto fight as an example of Itachi's superiority, but him being an edo isn't really taken to account. I know it's probably the fanboys, but I must say, people should already know Itachi is a medium to Sasuke. Sasuke beating him and being better than him was foreshadowed even in part 1. So yeah, Sasuke can pretty much take out Itachi...

What makes people say Itachi > Sasuke?

Fanboyism, nothing else.
I agree with you.

Sasuke's Hawk would get burned with amaterasu, so it's pretty much a non factor, and Sasuke also has to watch out for amaterasu as well, He's not invincible to those flames, Itachi gets serious so rarely but when he does ppl get stomped, EMS does nothing that gives Sasuke any real advantage, and Itachi has the most broken move in all of naruto, sword of totsuka

it all comes down to itachi's defense being better.

Sasuke got his ass handed to him at least twice when they fought so I'm not sure.
I don't think Itachi could really go all out on his brother.

Sasuke has blaze release, meaning he can manipulate and extinguish the flames. So no..

And who says that Itachi is dumb enough to fall for something like that??He can summon his crows,use amatersu and other techniques to bring that freakin bird down.How can you just asume that Sasuke can keep his distance in the whole fight until Itachi is drained??That's just dumb.
Enton>do you have any proof that Itachi can't cancel enton??It's a manipulation of amaterasu after all.
Bombard him with attacks??Really??When did Itachi demonstrated that he is that simple minded to fall for this??

Did I say that? I said Sasuke can hold his distance, when Susano'o is used...

Amaterasu? Sasuke has the power to extinguish the flames. Sasuke's WAYYY more skilled at Amaterasu than Itachi. And Tsukuyomi is pointless since Sasuke already broke it...

What's crows gonna do? Lmao, Chidori senbon or Chidori sharp spear would demolish those birds.

What do you mean do you have proof Itachi can't manipulate Enton? It's called Blaze release. Only Sasuke has it. When has Itachi ever demonstrated Blaze release? Never. Lmao, I can't believe you just said such a foolish comment. Only Sasuke can extinguish the flames. Enton > Taijutsu, deal with it.

Anything else? This is quite boring.
