It was not PNJ madara stabbed him easily. He took down Hashirama and tobirama with ease, and captured all the tailed beasts in minutes, something that akatsuki could not do all together he did alone. if you didnt see that comming you havent been reading the manga. but i agree. its nice too see how sasuke has matured
It was PNJ no matter how you look at it.
It was not tactical to jump from a hawk. While you are in mid air you lose your mobility as you cannot use any "ground" to change your direction.
I don't see how a ninja like madara would not notice sasuke if he just jump from a hawk,sasuke should have realized he is a sensor.
When he was immobilized in mid air by madara,he still could have got a blow on madara if he used susano,or atleast used susano to cover himself so that he can protect himself from a sword stab.
He was clearly out of character [due to plot] and jumped right into the battle.
Something more tactical would be him pretending to be the bad guy and join madara's side and backstab him when his guard is down.
This could have been easily achieved after getting info from hashirama about izuna and even the jutsu hashi gave could have been used.
Sasuke fights were always interesting but this one was a huge disappointment.I can understand it was due to plot but still All i wished for was for sasuke not to be so much handicapped and at least use a portion of his real strength before going down against madara. Losing to madara isn't anything to be ashamed of, god of shinobi himself was beaten along with many other shinobi including but not limited to naruto,tobirama,5 kages, BM naruto.
