Even if Jiriaya had as powerful an arsenal as Itachi (he doesn't) then Itachi would still outsmart him and win.

Nice try with the grammar and all , but you don't start a sentence with "And".

Cause I want to know you underrate one person then super overate the next
Kishi said they are equal manga fact.

Show me a scan of when he said that, and even if it does kishi contradicts himself because jiraiya took on pain without knowledge and had a better fight that tsunade did with pain. She barely did anything in that fight. Orochimaru has clearly surpassed tsuande and jiraiya

fanboys of course will tell you that itachi's lying. but if you'll think about it, during that time one tsukuyomi and amaterasu made itachi exhausted, what more if they will fight jiraiya..

1 amaterasu would be all he needed to kill jiraya in that corridor..

Everyone are overestimating itachi... these fanboys. Tsukuyomi can't do a shit on Jiraya.

The problem with any tread it seems like that invovles a Uchiha vs anyone else all the u hiha fanboys come out! Don't get me wrong itachi was da man but give jariya sum credit!
He could sumon a toad to block sum if itachi's attacks. I just think people are underestemating jariya and its crazy.

And you think he would just stand there and let Itachi prepare Amaterasu,

I like how people think that everyone could just prepare themselves against Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Raikage A had to use maximum speed, in order to escape the Sharingans sight, Kabuto had to close his eyes for not being affected by Uchiha Genjutsu. Not only that Amaterasu appears wherever the Sharingan aims for, the Sharingan itself is endowed with great insight abilities, able to read and to predict the opponents moves. Itachi has abilities that can one shot you by just standing around and looking at you. Above, he has Susanoo, which weapons make him according to Zetsu completely invincible, able to repel and to crush anything.

Jiraiya has no chance..

The thoughts are the same in all translations. Itachi said both he and Jiraiya would die. You think he was lying?

He said the best they could hope for was a win.

I already made a thread about it in which I explained why I think Itachi really meant that.

Proof is that he used Amaterasu to escape.

He also said that even with more back up they could only tie. Isnt it obvious that Itachi was lying back then? Jiraiya is strong, but not strong enough to take on four (or more, since Itachi wasnt very specific) Kage level enemies and tie with them.
