See dude ! U cant accept the fact *meh* ...
I know sasuke was there ... perhaps u should re-read the manga ... and see when Itachi activated Izanami ... It was the first time Kabuto tried to slash him with Sasuke's Sword and found that its a Crow clone ... the Loop starts from there ...
and yes the guy defeated Kabuto was Itachi ... U_U
If u put aside Izanami ... u should also put aside Edo-tensei ... dont think one-sided !
Thanx man for ur time ! I am also tired of this arguments , coz u guys dont know How to accept facts ... think watever u like !
Itachi takes this simply because of Totsuka blade and Yata Mirror, Itachi was holding back.
You start again from first post dude ... u dont even know wat we talkin in this long thread :sy:
suddenly u jumped into discussion and stating ur opinion and asking for explanation ... No one has such time to explain U same thing again and agian .. so go read U_U
And Dude .. for U ..seriously ... dont make discussion threads in the future .. it seems just waste of time talkin with U .. U dont want to accept anything from other side .. u only stick to what ur thinking .. then their is no point arguing ... :flaw:
First learn how to admit others valid opinion ... forget me .. many people like blaze , S ... given so many arguments and u neglected all .. and still sayin ... "literally get no response" ... u only want response which supports U .. like this ^ guy .. thats y ur praising him ... :sy:
be mature ... u pretend to be logical to others but ur actually not .. logical ppl accepts logic .. u only want to stick wat u thought is ri8 .... get over with it.. there is No point debating with U ... at the end u will still say .. still No response U_U
Manga showed that Itachi owned Kabuto hahaha even a Normal Itachi would own Kabuto how sad that people make threads about Kabuto owning Itachi when the Manga showed that Itachi won against Kabuto besides Itachi started Izanami when Kabuto first sliced him and turned into crows so all the shit that happened afterwards (WHEN SASUKE HELPED ITACHI) was all for nothing because Izanami was ALREADY ACTIVATED JUST ****ING DEAL WITH....
Edo or not Itachi owns Kabuto...
I seriously don't understand how people can say that a non-edo itachi can beat Kabuto in a 1v1 fight. Kabuto is basically custom built to beat Itachi. Look at it this way.
Amaterasu? Kabuto uses oral rebirth and continues on
Fire/ Water release? Fire release is countered by kabuto's own water release, whilst the water release Itachi has shown don't really pose any real threat due to Kabuto's dodging capabilities.
Tsukuyomi/ Genjutsu? Completely useless because kabuto closes his eyes.
Sword of Totsuka? Sage mode sensing/dodging renders this useless. If he dodged amaterasu arrow he is dodging the sword. It is a manga fact that totsuka has never hit a moving target, only stationary people. Even on the off chance he does get hit, he can liquify thanks to suigetsu's DNA.
Susanoo? Kabuto has at least 4 counters. White rage to make Itachi drop it and be paralysed. Sound genjutsu from Tayaya, which he can't get out of without assistance. Bone forest from Kimi or Inorganic transmutation can be used to erupt underneat susano'o, piercing Itachi.
Izanami? Itachi literally said it himself that Izanami can't be used in battle situations. The only reason Itachi pulled it off was because he was Edo, and even then he died twice to set it off.
So quite obviously, Kabuto takes this. Kabuto counters anything itachi has, he is faster than itachi, he is much stronger than itachi, his attacks can easily overcome susano'o. He can easily makes amaterasu and genjutsu useless and is superior in taijutsu thanks to suigetsu's liquefaction techniques. His stamina is unlimited thanks to sage mode whilst Itachi has stamina problems. I haven't even mentioned Kabuto's summons since he doesn't really need them.
He is ahead in ninjutsu, taijutsu, even genjutsu (since Itachi's are useless), speed, strength and stamina all by a good margin in this match, and is either higher or equal in intellect. Itachi loses in a proper fight every time. Also if someone seriously says "Itachi wasn't trying to kill Kabuto" think about this - Kabuto was also not aiming to kill since he had to make sure not to kill Sasuke.
If you somehow think different explain properly, no fanboy crap.
You forget that the cave gave him half his upper-hands he did have. I'd also like to know how Kabuto would get through Itachi's Susano'o since you avoided thoroughly explaining that situation. On-top of that, why would you cripple Itachi and not Kabuto? Makes for quite the stupid match. If you cripple Itachi, take away Kabuto's 100 different DNA injections and then try and match them.
You do that and we have Itachi coming out on-top every time.
When Oro came poppin out of Sasuke Itachi(sick, badly wounded and all) dispusred of him like he was a child and sealed his ass what makes you think a healthy prime Itachi would do anything less to Kabuto?
How did he cripple Itachi? And most of the stuff in his post doesn't require the cave.
The perks Itachi were given were stripped while Kabuto's weren't. He crippled the match and changed it to try and fit his position. Whether or not Kabuto could beat Itachi is still unknown since it was never Itachi's intention to kill Kabuto from the start. Kabuto was easily out-smarted by Itachi, and that's obvious -- as we saw he made real attempts to try and kill Itachi knowing of his conditions.
Now, with that out of the way, try and explain to me how he'd get pass the great Susano'o.
