You've just proved my point. Deva was tricked by the most basic technique, which then lead to his death. My point was, Basic techniques aren't Irrelevant if used wisely, this proved it.

We don't know where the actual Explosion reached. Most of what we saw was a 'splash' from water being blown away by the explosive force. The diagram you posted really doesn't back up your claim as Explosive force dissipates with distance from the center. Fire off a Nuke and at the Deadzone you'll die instantly from heat equivalent to that of the sun, but A building 10 miles away won't feel any heat, yet the shockwave alone could blow it down. In your diagram, this could potentially be depicted by the fading colour, but there are no labels to even depict anything. In any case, what i'm getting at is that, sure, Kakashi was possibly close enough for some of the shockwave to affect his clothes, but itachi was close enough to get injured; Hence why he saw fit to defend himself. If all the explosion could do was tartar clothes, why would itachi go through the trouble of using it? Why would he defend himself from it? Why would he even make the jutsu when an explosive tag would seemingly be stronger, by this logic?

- White zetsu, had his arm sliced by a hand.[ ]
- Obito's arm fell off after receiving a rasengan to his back[ ]
- white zetsu had his bits blown apart just off the force of neji's 8 trigram body blow[ ]
- Even the very scan you posted shows obito's arm being blown off by punching the wall... What happened next? Spiral zetsu, covered him. So, Sure, you could try to infer zetsu is very durable. Expect it was explicitly stated that obito used . Ergo, off the power of the mazo, Spiral zetsu got a bump in offence and defense; Just like jins who funnel the chakra of their beast into them.
If you look , you can see that The rasengan only hit obito while his arm was overlapping in the kamui dimension. Seeing as that only happens for the few seconds naruto's passing through it, it is no where as deadly as sustaining damage from an Explosion. What happened to obito is Equivalent to slowly passing your hand over a flame; You'll potentially get slightly burnt, but that's all. What will happen to zetsu is Equivalent to holding a flame on the same spot on your hand for however long that explosion goes on.

This point is Moot. My initial premise was that Itachi engages Zetsu in CQC then uses Magatamas. No where do I think I claimed using long ranged magatamas; So this tactic is all you.
When Itachi fired the magatama at Kabuto, He could do nothing but . Now, why would a man, who's agile enough to sit there while 3 magatamas are hurtling towards him? Because, dodging a thin arrow, is easier than dodging 3 high speed magatamas. Even if those magatamas are slower than Arrows, they're still fast enough to leave kabuto sitting where he is without dashing for cover. Is zetsu as fast or agile as DSM Kabuto? No.
So It's now manga fact Zetsu knows about magatamas...? Magatamas Itachi only used after death? What, does he know of shishui's eye and Izanami, also? not even Kabuto knew itachi possessed any of that and Kabuto's the man who figured out madara's secrets and had orochimaru's research at his disposal. I've already pointed out that Zetsu had no clue itachi possessed Yata, totsuka, or was even Sick. Claiming he knew of anything else, that we've literally no evidence he's seen in action, is purely baseless.
As For your claim that Itachi's Yasaka magatam's weren't shown to be destructive, This is just reaching right now... The size of The explosions alone, in relation to kabuto, tell you that the attacks do some damage. Going by this, Madara's magatamas are even weaker since they couldn't make a splash on Gaara's sand... Yet they chewed through it and almost went through Oonoki's massive golem ontop of that.




I won't spend much time on this because I've already made my point.
But, Just because Zetsu used a jutsu that allowed him to open up his entire face doesn't mean he doesn't have vision. That statement's Synonymous with Saying konan has no organs, vision, or hearing just because she has a jutsu that can turn her face and body into paper. white zetsu clones have a similar Jutsu that allows him to open their torso[ ], giving more weight to the fact that spiral is still just a clone of white zetsu at the end of the day.
Black-white zetsu have the ability to split down the middle (as per your sig) yet they can somehow think? white zetsu's immune to genjutsu, too? since they apparently don't have brains being able to do that, and genjutsu works by ... yet his clones are susceptible to genjutsu? Did they grow a brain? Even if I can't point out Spiral Zetsu's eye, It doesn't mean he doesn't have vision. Same way I can't point out white zetsu's brain doesn't mean he doesn't have one.

Anyway, Moving on from all of this. The point still stands that itachi can just Genjutsu whatever host is inside Spiral. After all, It's canon that a comatose person . The person being conscious or not matter nought since the point of the genjutsu, at this point, isn't to show their conscious mind an illusion. Just like with Kabuto, once the genjutsu user gets into the targets head, he then . That means, Itachi genjutsus The vessel, The instructs him to slice his throat, using mokuton spikes on himself, etc.

Last point on this matter: I'm repeating myself here, but white zetsu clone clones are too weak for battle. 1 Shadow clone by itachi, which will be 50% his chakra and as strong as him, will wipe through zetsu's clones with ease while Itachi works on zetsu. You also disregarded my point about the crow summons. Using the visual blocker[ ][ ][ ], Zetsu is now distracted and confued, giving Itachi and his clone time to blitz through the crows[ ][ ][ ] and clean up house with ease - during this visual blocker-blitz combo, a faster DSM user was left barely responsive, so zetsu's <= sensory abilities aren't going to change the outcome. Itachi has a 5 point in speed and outsped hebi sasuke; Zetsu stands no chance in the speed department.



Kisame's not stupid enough to fall for itachi's words...? He even says "Why should someone like you run?" meaning he wasn't convinced itachi couldn't take jiraiya, yet he drank up the BS Itachi fed him and carried on without anymore protest[ ]. Just because Kisame was Itachi's partner, doesn't mean he knew anything about how itachi's abilities really worked. For all we know, itachi probably told him that using ama and tsuk gives him cancer; How can Kisame prove otherwise? Every other MS user is dead, and the last living one, before itachi, couldn't use a single ability that itachi has. As for sasuke, If you could it up(I've forgotten the exact figure now), He used a total of 3-4 amaterasu(bee x1, Danzo x1, kage x1/2), and about 8 susano'o(kage x3, danzo x3/4, kakashi x1) before going fully blind. In fact, sasuke never made it to V4 susano'o before blindness; Yet Itachi got to V4 and even equipped it with yata and mirror. So, that's roughly 10-15 uses sasuke got out of his MS. Itachi had his MS for over 8 years without going blind, which means he had to use it sparingly, since each use meant 1 step closer to blindness.

Exactly, Itachi Got 5 Uses of Susano'o in that fight - 2x ama, 1x Tsuku, 2x Susano'o. Is zetsu going to Survive through that many uses? Hell no... Unlike with Sasuke, Itachi has no need for mercy. 1 use of Ama turns part of his body to ash. Another use finishes the job. 1 use of tsuk is the end. 1 use of Susano'o is the end as we know what happens when you fight a susano'o user [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]. If zetsu ever engages a Susano'o user in CQC it's over. His greatest CQC attack, , can't even break a ribcage.

There is no proof a Zetsu clone can even use Mokuton let alone An attack of that scale... Even black zetsu could only do and, like i've stated before, clone clones are too weak for combat. This strategy is impossible to work by manga logic.
Itachi reacted to bee, who's leagueeessssss faster than any zetsu out of mayfly and . In that scan, itachi's speed isn't what I'm refering to because that's unimportant. The important factor is being able to react to a high speed target that he couldn't see coming or attacking. The person here who will be attacking from blindspots is itachi; with his mastery of .


Black zetsu has no clones. White zetsu does. Even with the abilities of both, Spiral still has the standard strength of white zetsu's only, since black zetsu has nothing to add to the mix, which is too weak for combat.



Summary

with genjutsu
- Itachi finds an opportunity and uses tsukuyomi on zetsu. Ending the fight.
- Itachi uses Finger genjutsu, Crow genjutsu or sharingan genjutsu to immobilize zetsu at which point he's able to kill zetsu by forcing him to kill himself, or using katon, kunai, shuriken, or an explosive clone.

with zetsu's theoretical immunity to genjutsu
- Itachi engages zetsu in CQC and kills him with Susano'o, magatamas, or an exploding clone.
- Itachi Unleashes the full wrath of Susano'o and brings down Shinshuu quickly, then follows up by destroying spiral.
- Itachi lights zetsu on fire with amaterasu.
- Itachi uses crow visual blockers and goes to work on zetsu with the help of a shadow clone

> Sidenote: I'm a bit disappointed you didn't use zetsu spores. I ended up rushing this anyway. Got some st00f to do.

Are we even positive Spiral Zetsu summoned the Buddha? He could just be using Hashiramas leftovers...

Huh? Are you sure you read the debate?

Finger Genjutsu is chunin level and don't work on sensors.
Person inside is unconscious.
Izanami only works on those who lie to themselves. SZ isn't lying to anyone.
Zetsu's clones are real and he can take piece of their body to replace the burned part. He can sense build up pressure.

I mentioned all of that.

Please read the posts carefully. Your vote wasn't detailed to even 1%.

My vote goes to...

AGoodBoy (Itachi Uchiha).

His posts illustrated his points more clearly and his arguments seemed to be more logical and practical to me.

Dimitry's arguments regarding Zetsu using clone walls to defend was iffy at best, as well as his immunity to genjutsu: what about finger genjutsu? What about the comatose person inside? Izanami? Even if he can shed off a piece of skin lit on black flames, how does avoid being gradually burnt to death seeing that he can't regenerate? The 'replacing limbs' argument is also kind of weak. Even if Zetsu can sense the brief chakra build-up, is he fast enough to avoid it? Mayfly also would not work well for sneak attacks since Itachi has the sharingan which can distinguish chakra by its color. These are the reason why I think, after reading your arguments, that Itachi beats Spiral Zetsu.

My apologies if your judged based on this criteria.

Your not suppose to judge based on if you think their argument was right or wrong but how well they represented it and how well it was countered. Such as, If someone in a debate said that Ten-Ten blitz's Minato and the opposing party fails to counter it, then the Ten-Ten blitzing Minato argument was the superior argument. Your own views essentially need to be blocked out for judging. Almost as if you hadn't read the manga.

You should have went a lot more indepth in each debaters arguments and what you think was countered and what wasn't.​

I read all the posts pretty carefully, and saw your counters but I personally don't know if all or any those methods would work. I will reread them right now to be extra sure but tsukuyomi was already seen to be effective on a comatose subject, your argument about 'replacing limbs' won't always appply because it's not necessarily a simple matter to replace even a zetsu body part, and spiral zetsu would be constantly needing to using mayfly to dodge clones (which could clear the white zetsu) as well as Itachi's attacks. Just to be extra sure, though, I am going to reread the entire debate.

You are not supposed to believe which you PERSONALLY think is right. Read DA's post. You are supposed to see which debater's post was more explained and accurate. The Zetsu regeneration part, AGoodBoy already agreed on it. So the point goes to my side. Read the debate and go over each post with detail. If its not detailed, then I cannot tolerate that. You should have told us you didn't have experience in judging.

In my summary on the final post, I noticed I mentioned amaterasu. When I came back 2 hours later and re-read what i wrote (cause i had to write it quickly to go do something), I remembered you countered that ama and I agreed XD my apologies XD

Great debate you two. After reading over the debate a few time, I have come to my decision.

Adjudication
AGoodBoy
Pros

  • You debated the Exploding Clones very well. You could've taken it a few steps further, since the normal Kage Bunshins combines with the exploding ones would've made a serious problems for SZ.
  • You were capable of defending almost all of MR's offensive strategies. There was little room for SZ to kill Itachi in combat.
  • Your claims of Basic techniques being proficient in high-level battles was delightful. Something that is often overlooked in debates was made very apparent in this debate.

Cons

  • You weren't capable of balancing your offence and defence, and ended the debate with a seemingly defensive stance.
  • You tried to tie manga in with logic. Try to keep real life out of manga, it usually doesn't end well in debates. Kakuzu, Konan and Sasori had shown eyes though. SZ has not shown the slightest signs of eyes.
  • You didn't take advantage of the time it would take for Zetsu clones to regenerate missing limbs. Given Itachi's speed (+clones), it should've been easy.
  • You made some assumptions which didn't necessarily help you in the debate, could've left them out (i.e. Tenpenchi tanked by v1, Kirin blocked by v1)


Dimitri Rascalov
Pros

  • Your structure was superb throughout the debate.
  • Your were extremely proficient in countering the MS techniques Itachi had to offer. The Amateratsu and Tsukoyomi seemed like non-factors in the match.
  • Genjutsu, Itachi's most powerful weapon, was successfully countered. Not having attempted to use real life situations in a manga was a smart choice.
  • The regenerative powers of Zetsu, as well as the low stamina of Itachi, were argued well.


Cons

  • Your arguments were also focused more on defence than offence. Both of you seemed to focus on countering defensively instead of stopping the offence a defence followed by an offence.
  • Your lack of usage of spores was saddening. Spores are effective counter measures in many scenarios.
  • You didn't seem to understand the strength of basic techniques. You actually ended up going along with AGB's claims and basically have him a win an argumentation point with little effort.

My vote goes to MadaraRules. I had to read the debate several times to come down to a vote, due to the fact that the debate was so closely matched. Some of AGB's arguments, and his structure as a whole, seemed a bit rushed, whereas MR looked like he put hard work into each post. Nevertheless, good job to the both of you. Feel free to point out anything you disagree with in my adjudication.
