It’s not necessary, but how is it pointless? Being adept at kenjutsu allows him to more easily dispatch fodder without wasting chakra for one. Plus, how do you not see the benefits as compared to just using bare hands? Especially when he can channel jutsu through it

Or you know there is different kusanagi blades. Why would Sasuke name a blade Orochimaru gave him out of respect when he didn't even respect Orochimaru? Kusanagi and totsuka are cut from the same cloth yet have totally different mechanics and abilities. Same as these.
Its likely orochimaru has all the set of kusanagi blades in the world and gave one of his swords to sasuke, hence why he searching for the Totsuka Blade for a long time, maybe the last of his set.

If you see the anime, his sword was phasing through yamato's kunai without cutting it, although I doubt it was shown in the manga.
Nah he used lightning to enhance the blade's piercing ability

I don't think there were different ones because Orochimaru always talked about it like it was unique and emphasized on its ability to stretch. When he faced Itachi he also said Totsuka was the opposite/counter of Kusanagi, not Kusanagis.


If you think about his statement, the ability to stretch counters Totsuka's ability to absorb. He was referring to his blade implying his blade is Kusanagi not Sasuke's.


I'm sticking to the idea Sasuke gave his katana the same name because he managed to make his blade pierce through anything like the original Kusanagi was capable of doing, the difference is he uses lightning to do so.

It's not out of Sasuke's nature to do something like that because he's known to acknowledge other people's power by adopting their feats in some way. Naming his blade Kusanagi could be a nod to Orochimaru's influence on his sword skills.

Nah; when his sword went through the kunai, the kunai wasnt cut.

I read that was a mistranslation. Totsuka has shown the ability to extend, it formed from a magical fluid in the gourd and elongated to slice the snake heads which were pretty tall high above his Susanoo. Kusanagi's average height is always similar. Even in the mistranslation, kusanagi wasnt called the ultimate counter to totsuka, rather, totsuka the ultimate counter for Kusanagi.

Part 2 Sasuke was all about kenjutsu, iirc the only 1 time he used taijutsu is when he punched Deidara in the face, other than that whenever his sword was blown away or lost for a moment, he was using chidori and it's variants. Also sad to see how chidori kusanagi was nerfed, it was used so rarely because it could cut and pierce anything and was impossible to block unless with another raiton technique.

Not with just raiton technique, raiton infused with Bijuu chakra. Bee is a perfect jin so automatically his chakra melds with the bijuu's like naruto's chakra melded when he and kurama became perfect jin. So bo raiton attacks cant block it. Bijuus are Spirits with Yin-Yang Chakra
