Seriously, your posts astound me. Explain to me in a logical fashion exactly how Itachi will activate Izanami? The only way he got it off was after he died 2-3 times. Lets break the fight down shall we.
- First potential death - white rage made itachi drop most of susano'o leaving him vulnerable. He didn't die then and there because Kabuto went for Sasuke.
- Death 1 - Inorganic transmutation, Itachi was impaled by the spike erupting from the ground. In this instance he was only saved by Sasuke. In a 1v1 he still would have died since susano'o is weak from underneath.
- Second potential death - Kabuto makes a web then switches to kimimaro's KKG, forcing the brothers to split their attacks. Again without Sasuke present Itachi would have been incapacitated by one of these jutsu.
- Third potential death - Tayuya's sound genjutsu catches the brothers, without Sasuke there to break him out Kabuto would have won then and there.
- Death 2 - Kabuto emerges from Orochimaru's mouth and proceeds to chop Itachi in half. Again kabuto would have rewritten Itachi's seal then and there if not for Sasuke's intervention.
Now I want you to pay very close attention to this next bit. None of the deaths I listed above are directly related to Izanami's activation. Izanami's activation stems from Itachi being impaled twice by sasuke's sword, thereby creating the loop. Therefore none of these deaths were intentional, but all of which would count as real deaths in a 1 v 1 fight. Also Itachi couldn't just 'let' himself get killed because Kabuto would re-write the Edo-tag, so he was try to avoid being killed.
So if your argument for Itachi winning is solely based on the fact that Itachi will activate Izanami then I have one big question? Even if Sasuke wasn't there and Itachi was Edo he would have died 5 times before getting Izanami to loop, whilst they never touched Kabuto. Therefore I ask how does a non-edo Itachi pull this off when only one death seals the win for Kabuto.
:shrug: This is strong evidence against itachi....it is factual so ill buy it for now..however..would kabuto be able to stand up to itachis susano's add on's like yata mirror or totsuka sword?
IF he can side step those issues i will agree that kabuto vs itachi 1v1 would win if itachi was not edo:shrug:
