So there has been a lot of talk on the base about Izanagi and Izanami lately, including activation requirements, penalties for use, and ultimately, the role that they will play for the show. Taking into account everything that has happened in the manga as of late, namely Naruto's recent advances in both power and ability, Sasuke's new EMS ability seemed... idk... fairly irrelevant in the light of Naruto's progress. However, because this manga is largely predicated upon the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are eternal rivals, Sasuke needs something more significant that simply EMS in order to stand on even ground with Naruto. Thus I make a proposition: EMS, ETERNAL Mangekyou Sharingan, which has been said to never lose its "light," allows for the user to spam what would otherwise be considered "one time" moves, namely, Izanagi and Izanami. This accounts for several statements that have been said by various characters throughout the series.
First, Itachi has stated that only a true Uchiha can fully wield the power of the Sharingan. Though this statement is often made in reference to Kakashi, because his chakra is so greatly drained by the sharingan, I would like to point it more towards Danzo. As we see in Sasuke's battle vs Danzo, he is able to correctly perform Izanagi. Additionally, because of his Hashirama cells and various sharingan, he is able to spam the technique and make effective use of it, but only for a time. It is in this fight that Tobi makes a statement that the Izanagi used by Danzo is imperfect. I believe that this statement is directly related to the statement Itachi has already made, which I have paraphrased above.
Ultimately, the twin techniques izanagi and izanami, can only be fully used by an uchiha because only an Uchiha can acquire EMS. Essentially, because the penalty for the technique is the loss of eyesight or use of that eye, and EMS counteracts the effects of lost eyesight, only an EMS enabled Uchiha (ie, Sasuke) can truly make mastery of izanami and izanagi. Thusly, I believe that Sasuke will master both of these techniques and be able to spam them in such a way, that it will once again restore the balance between he and Naruto's abilities. What does everyone think? Do you guys think that Madara has both of these abilities mastered and hasn't used them, or will Sasuke ultimately surpass Madara by mastering these moves? Is there anyone who disagrees entirely? I thought I had a fairly logical progression of thought considering general storytelling patterns, but perhaps I'm wrong. Any thoughts?
