That in itself is unlikely. If he anticipated it before hand he wouldn't hold back against Hebi Sasuke. If he truly thought he was strong enough to counter his Tsukiyomi technique. He cannot realize he's in the illusion at that power level. Which he was in.But it could have also been from the fact that he anticipated him being that powerful beforehand. The exclamation marks tend to appear more when someone has lost their composure, which Itachi never did, but Black Zetsu seemed to be convinced Sasuke broke Tsukuyomi. Was it full power is arguable, but it seems evident that even if it wasn’t, Sasuke broke the illusion rather than being released from it. I’d also wager to say it’s a different experience to be released from Genjutsu than to forcibly break it.
