Dear Unbiased,
(First of all, I've read your ENTIRE post, so please refrain from telling me to go read it again.)
I agree with you on some aspects, but not all. First of all, don't get me wrong, I love Neji and the Byakugan is badass and awesome in so many ways. I LOVEE NEJI & HINATA & the Byakugan period. However, the byakugan is "comparable" to the 3 tamoes sharingan, NOT superior. And it also depends on the user. Let's say for example, a Byakugan genius like Neji would win against any miscelenious ordianary uchiha. BUt, if Neji is up against an uchiha Genius like Itachi, He's roasted (itachi doesn't even need to use MS to finish Neji). Itachi's a master of genjutsu. You said "The Byakugan can sense genjutsu" I agree with that. BUT, that does not mean that he/she's able to "escape" or break from the genjutsu. And when going against an ultimate genjutsu like Tsukyomi, Byakugan won't even be able to sense it, or at least it'll be extremely difficult to sense it becuz those ult genjutsu is so powerful way beyond a byakugan's ability to sense genjutsu. Hence, they fall into the genjutsu & get mind ****ed.
A Hyuuga will die infront of susanoo (susanoo in its skeletal shape with a sword is all it takes). Neji's rotation is strong and i LOVEEE that ability. I agree with you that it can block susanoo's sword attack. However, how long can it block before the byakugan user runs out of chakra? Cuz the user have to constantly release a large amount of chakra during the spin. Susanoo just need to stand there and keep slashing/stabbing until the byskugan user runs out of chakra, stop rotation, and then get stabbed to death and die. lol He'd not even be able to dodge, cuz once neji use up all his chakra and the rotation stops, he would be way to exhausted to even dodge the fast susanoo sword attack.
Also, during the part when sasuke fought naruto when they were young. Ssauke awakened 3 tamoes and saw through and countered every of naruto's movement at first successfully. Naruto had to rely on the 9 tails chakra to counter sasuke's sharingan. Sasuke couldn't read and counter the "9 tail chakra" cuz its reallyyyy fast. The only ninjas that 3 tamoes sharingan couldn't keep up with with be those super fast ppl: like Minato, Raikage, Bee, Naruto with 9-tail chakra, etc. But yet all those ppls have to use their "ultimate" fast jutsus just to counter the sharingan. Without using their ultimate jutsu, the sharingan will defnitely still be able to read and counter thier every move.
For example: during the sasuke vs Raikage during 5 kage summit. when they charge at each other (sasuke using chidori, & raikage using Elbow Bolt). Sasuke was able to read the Raikage's attack, doge underneath the elbow bolt and pierce the Raikage's lightning armor. The raikage even commented that "I wear lightning style armor, yet you managed to actually hit me" SO the sharingan is fully capable to dodging those kind of attacks and counter (eventhough the Raikage was still already reallly fast in his lightning armor state). It's only when the Raikage go Super sayan and fast like minato, thats when the sharingan couldn't keep up. But that's whe the mangekyo comes in handy.
And during his fight with Lee prior to the chuunin exam. I agree with you that Sasuke was "able" to see Lee's attack but its true that he was NOT able to counter it because Sasuke lacked speed at the time. However, during the final chuunin exam match, it was shown that sasuke had trained a lot and his speed got sooo much faster, even paralell to Lee. Lee commented "It took me years to master that speed, yet it only took u one month to master it." So If lee and sasuke were to fight again right after the final match, Sasuke would not only be able to see through Lee's attack, but would have the SPEED to react and counter it. HAAH, ever thought of that? Sasuke would have the advantage, Lee has speed but he can't see through ataks (cuz he has no sharingan duh). Sasuke can see through attacks and have same speed as lee. (Note: This is disregarding Lee entering his 5 gates or watever) The only way for Lee to counter sasuke's sahringan now is to enter the 3rd or 5th gates watever and THEN the sharingan would not be able to keep up. Once again, that's when the MS comes in handy.
Another thing. gentle fists vs susanoo is just completely Pointless. Gentle fist user release their chakra into oponent's body to stop chakra flows and damge internal organ. BUT, susanoo is just gona block it so the user is simply waisting their chakra and putting themselves in danger by coming close to susanoo, they'd just leave themselves open for susanoo to atak & crush them. Gentle fist cannot penetrate susanoo. If anything, you would need to use "Iron fist technigues" that do tremendous physical damage (like Lee & Gai in their opened gates, or Tsunade's & Raikage's ultimate punch). Thus you would need to inflict great physical smashing damage to break susanoo (in which gentle fists fail at cuz that's not the nature of it) Gentle fist is awesome but its just at a complete disadvantage when fighting susanoo. Another thing is I hate when ppl say gentle fist is stronger than iron fist. Both are comparable to each other and strong in different ways. But anyway, there's noway for the gentle fist to disrupt the chakra of a susanoo user if they CAN'T even get through susanoo itself. The source for susanoo is the user's chakra inside their body. like i said, they would need to get pass the susanoo itself to get to the medium. But thats not possible for gentle fist. Sorry if i'm being a litle repetitive but i just wanna make that clear.
about susanoo's Yasaka Magatama: Boy that thing is powerful. Earlier u said that Neji's defense is compared to Gara's ultimate sand defense right? or maybe it's slightly stronger. But anyway, It took the COMBINED ultimate defense of Gaara AND the Tsuchikage's ultimate defense to "barely" managed to hold off the yasaka Magatama during the fight with madara. So neji's Defense alone will definitely NOT be able to withstand that level of atak. Think about it. He'd just get hit and die, or at least seriously injured.
And I love how you said Byakygan can dodge kamui, susanoo arrow, meteor, etc so easily. Are you kidding me?? I agree that he might be able to sense the attack, but The attacks are way too fast for him to be able to "react". Ok, i give him credit for being able to slightly change the course of kidimaro's arrow, but it was too fast to be dodged "complete." Thus neiji still got shot with the arrow and got seriously wounded (thank god he managed to dodged slightly and didn't die or else i'll cry). kidimaro's arrow is already capaple of doing that to neji. So imagine Sasuke's susanoo arrow! Boy that thing is HUge and super fast. which means that it will damage a larger area of neji's body and it'll require neji to release A LOT more chakra and power to "attempt" to change the course of the arrow due to it being so large, powerful, and fast. Hence, neji would need the speed similar to that of raikage in order to dodge completely without getting injure. However, neji DOES NOT have that kinda speed, and its too fast even for the byakugan to sense. Thus, he'd either gets seriously wounded, or die cuz he's incapable of dodging it. So sensing it is useless if one is not capable of reacting fast enough and dodging it. Sasuke's and itachi's speed on the other hand is way superior to neji's speed. that combined with their sharingan. They can sense/see through AND are fast enough to react to "most" attacks effectively (once again, this is disregarding ultimate super FAST jutsu, thats the only time where sasuke/itachi cant dodge effectively)
I can clarify on and on about the other stuff you said and more, but i'm too tire for that and I have to go do my college hw. Lol
But one last thing for you to think about. If you say byakugan is superior and can counter every sharingan , Ms, EMS jutsu. Then so you're basically saying that Neji can defeat madara and counter all his EMS jutsu??? Neji can defeat sasuke with EMS??? Moreover, The 2 most powerful ninjas at the end of the manga will be naruto & sasuke (come on, we all see that coming). Hence, neji byakugan will be no where near a match for sasuke's EMS. I'm sorry dude but I think you are out of your mind. lol
So in conclusion, the order goes:
1. Rinnegan
2. Sharingan
3. Byakugan
But it is possible that the EMS is even more powerful than Rinnegan. I forgot what episode or manga that caused me to have doubts on Rinnegan being #1 dojutsu. But Remember Tobi said. "Sasuke will be even more powerful than Nagato." Sasuke's EMS will be superior to Nagato's Rinnegan maybe? Just a thought.
And DON'T call me an Uchiha/sharingan fan boy because i'm not. I AM A BYAKUGAN AND NEJI/HINATA FAN BOY!!!!. I just learn to accept facts and see the obvious so I don't just make it sound like they're "unbeatable" just cuz im a fan of them.
But anywya, I still love Neji & Hinata regardless. Byakugan is Epic!!, I know that's one thing we have in common and both agrree on.
