Can someone explain why Sasuke didn't use Susanoo

[Rikudou Tobi]

When Madara stopped Sasuke suspended in the air. Why didn't Sasuke pull out Susanoo to stop him from piercing his heart?

Is there a valid explanation for this or the only thing we have to say is "plot?"

 

[KakarotxUchiha]

Cause its not like madara couldnt have used his rinnegan to neg that right? Sauce knew it was useless

 

[Amazeballs]

Yeah, I always kinda figured that was "plot." Maybe he was too low on Chakra, but it didn't seem like it.

 

[Sage of Doujutsu]

There is no good explanation for this

 

[Ricardo]

Plot :|

 

[The Necromancer]

Plot.

He was flabbergasted about being suspended in mid-air, so he couldn't compose himself enough to defend himself, but honestly nothing in the world should have surprised him at that point.

Madara even implied that he didn't hinder Sasuke in any way when he said he gave him plenty of time to react.

No he didn't. Madara said that everything he's done is all he can do at that current state.

So using Susanoo to stop a sword stab would be better than think of what other technique madara has.

Maybe chakra was an issue. That's a good one.

 

[Ambivalence]

It's probably because he was low on chakra, even though it didn't seem like it at all, but whatever. If not, then there's no reason why he didn't just bust out PS which would've broken Limbo's grip. Also, Madara can't use Preta with just a single Rinnegan.

Sasuke simply had to die.

[...]Also, Madara can't use Preta with just a single Rinnegan.

Who says so?

As if Susanoo could do anything. Madara just absorbs the chakra, creates a new arm with ashura-path and then stabs Sasuke with a black rod. The outcome would still be the same. But maybe Sasuke was just overwhelmed by Madaras bare chest in front of him

 

[demon of the leaf]

Or maybe sasuke was too weak at the time madara was insanely fast if madara said he gave him plenty of time then that implies madara at that time wasnt taking sasuke seriously and killed him off as a nuisance

 

[Sheele]

Plot. Nothing else.

Madara.

And lol at Madara absorbing PS. He can absorb some amounts of chakra [

] without the Rinnegan, but him absorbing a construct without Preta is laughable. Even with Preta he can't absorb it instantly, and that gives Sasuke enough time to get away. Honestly, PS wasn't even needed, he could've just gone up to V2-V4 and Madara wouldn't have pierced Sasuke.

 

[DominiqueX]

I guess you mean:
"Oh well, guess that's all I'm capable of at my current level". ?
As far as I know this was reffered to the sealing of the bijuu, downplaying what Obito and Akatsuki did all those weeks and months.

 

[Ambivalence]

^ I can agree with that, even though he hasn't displayed Preta without dual Rinnegan. Doesn't change the fact that he can't absorb PS instantly.

Then again, 1R SM Madara >> EMS Sasuke, so if he got serious he would've killed him. Guess Kishi just saved time.

 

[KakarotxUchiha]

No he didn't. Madara said that everything he's done is all he can do at that current state.

Chakra exhaustion? Less plausible since he just came back from gaining power from the first hokage. lol and madara may have been stating he couldnt do anymore after sealing the beasts, but im pretty sure he still could have absorbed and gained chakra using the rinnegan, its not like he wasnt about to pass out from lack of chakra

Pretty much

Sasuke simply had to die.

I'm trying to think of a point where Sasuke expended a lot of chakra because Naruto was the one saving the rest of the alliance.
Madara absorbed people's chakra with fake edo eyes, blind no eyes and with both real eyes. So Madara had no issue absorbing, especially when Tobi who had one eye was able to absorb JJ Madara's chakra too. But even then that's not an excuse for Sasuke to not absorb.

Or maybe sasuke was too weak at the time madara was insanely fast if madara said he gave him plenty of time then that implies madara at that time wasnt taking sasuke seriously and killed him off as a nuisance

Sasuke has instantly pull out Susanoo to protect himself when Danzo tried to stab him with a kunai knife after being revived with izanagi. But how Sasuke was weakened is beyond me. He barely used up chakra. The last thing he used was magic garb Susanoo, but he still had enough chakra to keep his hawk summoning.

Plot. Nothing else.

Either kishi was up late at night writing this or he just refuses to show Susanoo in anyway get absorbed. Even a Susanoo vs Susanoo thing didn't even cross his mind.

 

[Dantee]

Kishi did it to save time because he can't have Naruto dieing and Sasuke fighting Madara by himself.

 

[Illuminater]

Sasuke was unable to use PS right then and there. Madara would have destroyed it easily anyways.

Other than the obvious answer which is plot.
We don't know if Madara's limbo clones used a sealing technique, cos I don't see them just carrying sasuke and holding him in mid-air. Iirc the data book says Limbo clones can use all the techniques of the original, so it could be some deva technique.
The flip side is also why didn't Madara just stab/impale sasuke with his Limbo clones
