Anyone else feels like Sasuke was screwed out of power ups?

His power up was taken away long with the perks.

Black chidori
Seal
Susanoo with legs (became instantly useless)
Curse mark susanoo (same thing)
Hell even his arm/chidori as a whole was taken away.

Yeah he lost way more than he gained this entire war my friend.

That's not even all either.

Agreed.

People always bash Sasuke for his handouts, but fail to see how many times Sasuke's abilities were taken away, or how many of them were totally useless or negligible when compared to Naruto's while none of Naruto's were ever taken away, and were generally far superior.

Naruto's abilities are more raw power but Sasuke's abilities are very powerful and haxed

Not only that, but Itachi even hyped it up, claiming it granted a completely new power. Yet we never got to see one.

You must be registered for see images

I completely forgot about that... That's probably the biggest disappointment in the manga..

Yea but the way Enton was nerfed is just another way of taking power.. It went from one of the most dangerous techs on the planet, to a distraction tactic.

Not that he needs them now but I feel like Sasuke was supposed to gain a few powers ups that didn't happened, so I'm going to list the few I remember..

1. I think this one disappointed me the most. In my opinion CS1 just look so awesome and made a huge impact when it was first introduced... I was really hoping for a return..

2. This was another that fooled me.. I was waiting and waiting for the day to come where Sasuke activates Yatta mirror and Totuska blade. Unfortunately it never happened.. Not to mention gaining Tsukuyomi.

3. Of course when Sasuke was being healed by Kabuto using Hashirama's cells... The possibilities...

4. And of course the infamous jutsu from Hashirama... Discuss.

Aren't the last two the reason he met hagoromo: gaining asura's chakra?

I wanted to point out for the Black chidori itself, that came from the Yin Seal. Just as Naruto lost COAT from his Yang seal.

I agree with everything else.

Hashirama tricked Sasuke so that he could protect his lover. No one can give Maddy wood other than him.

Sasuke took a down curve after he got EMS, while it was the exact opposite for Naruto. Don't know what was happening, at one time i felt Kishi just drew Sasuke so that Naruto just has some teammate with him. The lowest point was when Sasuke only displayed a nerfed technique with a limited range and cooldown, contrary to Naruto.

Still can't believe Naruto could create organs with his Sun seal, while Sasuke's Moon seal was just a pretty tattoo.

Rikudou chakra and the strongest Rin'negan in the series more than makes up for all of those admittedly fodder power-ups you're complaining about.

How does Rikudou chakra and rinnengan have anything to do with this thread?? It's a question, not complaining. Post on topic..

Sasuke has lost different abilities throughout the series. However, his newly gained powers made up for that. For example, his MS made up for his loss of the Cursed Seal of Heaven.​

Tbh I don't think it made up for it...

I think Hebi Sasuke with cursed seal of heaven would have beaten Raikage high diff instead of MS Sasuke about to stalemate

Interesting topic. It's a difficult one though. Any further power ups would of had to be balanced i.e. weak and trivial, since kishi wanted to convey the power of Madara and Kaguya. I for one though wished he had more development, the final hit on Kahuaya was lame as hell. Kishi ruined something that could have been that much more.

Same here.

Immediately after receiving a power up, Sasuke got nerfed by Kishi Kml

On the very first panel of Sasuke's new eye, he had 9 tomoe in it, after that, he had 6 tomoe ROFL

But there's also the fact that after casting IT Madara's Rinne Sharingan only had 6 tomoe as well

When your arsenal is based on EMS jutsu and failed Amenonjikara fighting some one of Kaguya's caliber have no other result.. I was beginining to think that's all the Rinnengan gave him.. You know since we was promise this godly power from EMS.
