Isn't Amatersu supposedly OP as **** if used creatively?

For example, if Tsukyomi requires you to make eye contact then instead of using Tsukyomi why not just use Amatersu and light the dude's eye on fire? Why couldn't Sasuke just light Shin on fire?

It's the most versatile jutsu with the least weaknesses, it's why BZ considers it the strongest attack. And because of that it got nerfed harder than magic in Dark Souls 3

Series would be pretty dark if sasuke burned everybody he fought alive

That's why fireball jutsus aren't deadly

I think recreating a dimension is more versatile.

so easy to avoid amatersu if you have rikage speed, garras sand defense(or something similar ), jin bijuu cloak, or even an MS/EMS to just put it out your self. amatersu is only good for scrubs below kage lvl just stick to enton stlye save yourself some chakra . unless you infuse it with a chidoir or with lighting style moves with high speed not allowing anyone to counter. and flame control is nice too but still slow.

Not true, Sasuke just didn't posses the mental capacity to try to use it to its potential. after he calmed down (war arc) Naruto is and will forever be the only one to survive Amaterasu.

Technically speaking, Amaterasu is supposed to be OP regardless if you use it "creatively". We were directly told that the black flames of Amaterasu will never extinguish until they have incinerated whatever it was cast on/touched.

It's supposed to be,but then again that shit was supposed to also be as hot as the sun. Did you see any feat that supported that? Think about it. If we were to use the logic that amteratsu's hype is based on then technically even the user's shouldn't be able to go anywhere near it,therefore making it usable.

In physic's if a piece of the sun were to fall on the earth than in order to not get incinerated you would need to be approximately 90 miles or further from that spot. See what i mean?

TSB is just like spirit bomb, useless in battle. She failed to use it against her children and NaruSasu. Why ? Because it requires too much prep time and leaves the user completely exposed to any attack. Amaterasu can be used as offence, defence and as a distraction simultaneously.

Ok, tell me which shinobi has the speed to counter EMS pre-cog ? It took JuubiJins for Amaterasu to be nerfed and that was when Sasuke didn't even have Sage chakra.


Now tell me which shinobi has the speed to counter Rikudou Sasuke's pre-cog ?


In fact tell me which shinobi can dodge enton chidori ? Especially now that Sasuke has S/t



Did I forget to mention he can simply immobilize someone with genjutsu or chakra rods then neg them with Amaterasu ?




Key word : versatility

No, tab is not like spirit bomb. Kaguya failed to use it just like she failed to use everything. She had to lose even if it required pis.

Stop making retarded comparisons to dbz



She could have literally went on the other side of her dimension and still killed them. Hell, she could have killed them within the first few minutes of the fight when she touched them.


Recreating a dimension creates life, creates worlds and atmospheres and environments. That's more versatile than Amaterasu.

It had to be nerfed when used against people, otherwise if the burning speed was same like when it's burning stuff then it would literally oneshots people as no one could ever react to it. Speaking of reacting, kishi also trolled it with so many ways to counter it, either remove burning part, absorb it, push it away or just kamui it away. Although as I said, if the burning speed was consistent, then people who got hit wouldn't even have time to do any counter.

Funny how it incinerates a metal weapon in less than a second yet fails to burn through Karin's skin tight clothing in what I recall being more than 10 seconds.

I think it has to do with intention too, the intention of Amaterasu was never meant to attack Karin. but then again, it was plot, because it burned Nagato pretty badly. Sasuke is much more powerful now.

It could be that Amaterasu is just stronger now or Sasuke can speed up the burning process with Enton.
