[Discussion] Itachi is NOT overrated.....

[Avonomemi]

Love itachi, infact I luv d uchihas.
Agree with most of ur points esp about obito n naruto
Still he is overrated, if u say among d best I agree but not the best

 

[new sage of 6 paths]

Umph....Itachi. Rane,seriously?
Naruto Beats him,Continous tbb,Gigantic tbb,Speed strenght,Superior sensing skills,should I go on?
Hashi Beats him......Madara also had a powerful gengutsu!
Nagato beats him!
Infact Anyone this days beats him!

 

[i OblivioN i]

I agree with you.

 

[ImmortalAvenger]

He's one of the strongest ninja to ever walk the earth people.
If some of you forgot that in the final fight with sasuke he let himself die
we all know sasuke would have gotten his butt kicked if it wasn't
for that brotherly love lol.

and even how his name itself shook a couple people up
just like when they hear madara's name.

Tbh I don't know how he would stand against hashirama
but for a fact we all know that he is pretty much one of the strongest
ninja in the ninja world nobody can deny that xD

Its not just what u say....itachi is overrated, and is strong and all but overrated. I called u a fanboy cuz you tried to prove he is not overrated which lots of fanboys have done, i dont mean that what u said was illogical, but just trying to prove that itachi isnt overrated, even with clues, logic, and stuff, its bad bro...people who hate itachi, which they shouldnt, all do because of this fandom lots of people have for the charatcer

Sooo that kinda makes the haters immature, dont get me wrong Itachi is not invincible but I agree with nearly everything the OP said. It pisses me off that the only reason people hate on Itachi is because to many people like him as a character. Him winning against Madara no chance, Hashirama no chance either. Maybe Naruto and Obito but the others he could for sure win.

 

[Phasma]

Noooo. Not at all. Because it's not overrating him if you say Itachi > Madara.

lol right?

 

[Phasma]

I didn't mention anywhere that he is invincible....but just because i said he's not overrated makes me a fanboy?? whatever points i have given in this thread, tell me if you've seen anything illogical. I've placed hard facts based on whatever we have seen in the manga and that's how i'm trying to defend my favourite character. Because there are people who keep saying itachi is sh*t, overrated, can be defeated by fodder etc etc. I'm proving those haters wrong that's all....

Actually, there is quite a few things that are illogical or at the very least, not thought out. The only part that makes real sense are the facts stated about Itachi himself. His intelligence, strength, etc. The match-ups leave something to be desired.

 

[tauhir]

look itachi has proven himself to be the greatest and or best genjutsu user ever and like you all should know every jutsu and every ninja has a weakness now to get to the point itachi would easily win with alot of the shinobi's out there but come on he'd loose to naruto obito madara and hashirama they have all surpassed itachi's level of strength he may pertain alot more knowledge then them but not all of that knowledge is going to help him in that fight so the final answer should be itachi is one of the greatest shinobi's to live with a very extensive knowledge but he's not a god and he should'nt be compared to one either nor is he on hashi's madara's naruto's or obito's fighting level. =D

 

[Phasma]

I didn't say itachi can beat Madara, i said he can have be smart enough to get a chance and seal him. And itachi has totsuka which madara doesn't have. And about the edo jinchuuriki, what wiould obito have done if kabuto wasn't there to help him??? the six edo jinchuuriki paths were possible because kabuto revived them. And do you think that controlling all 6 bodies and holding his own will be that easy for obito?? Against someone as smart as itachi??? You are missing a lot of factors here. As for hashirama yes, why don't you admit that itachi can capture him under a genjutsu. 72 hours of torture will weaken hashirama mentally anyway.

You really are not a logical fellow are you? Well, as for Obito, Kabuto did revive them but its implied he had a plan to push forward with even had Kabuto not joined. After all, he declared war against the nations before he had the option of Edo soldiers but that is besides the point. Its true Obito himself mentioned if Itachi had known everything there was to know about him, he would be dead. But he didn't. He outsmarted him in the end. Its hard to keep a person away that can slip through ANY attack you may have without running away constantly. But it would be close. As for Hashirama, wow dude. Just wow. No one denies he cannot get caught in genjutsu. But to assume Itachi can just completely cripple him with it. That's just foolish in itself. Just as you said, there is no proof the first has anti-genjutsu techniques, but there is no proof otherwise also. He wasn't the best for nothing.

I've read the whole thing, because I want to give a fair opinion. What you're basically doing is downplaying everybody's skills and intelligence, while ignoring Itachi's limits.

You act like...

1. ... Itachi can use Amatarasu and Susanoo like it has zero side-effects. Against Obito, he'll even spam it 5 minutes straight (And Obito will of course forget that he can use longrange attacks, like the ones we've seen in 628).
2. ... the Totsuka Blade will seal all the edo's like it's nothing, even though the they're not going to be standing still, in a straight line, while doing nothing. Kabuto isn't going to cheer him on either.
3. ... Itachi's reaction time is flawless. You seriously believe that he'll be able to avoid every single attack from Naruto, who is the fastest shinobi in the world?
4. ... Itachi's Susanoo will tank everything... Yet, Madara's Susanoo broke after a kick from Tsunade. Susanoo is powerful, but not unbreakable.

Itachi is one of my favourite characters... but you're definitely overrating him if you think he can do all of that.

Basically what this guy said. Itachi is a really powerful and intelligent shinobi, but he does know his own limits (a strategic retreat from jiraiya) which you seem to forget. And considering this, you still think that that he can beat Madara and Obito, two people who are currently taking on the whole ninja world and at this moment doing pretty darn well?

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

I'm sorry, but Itachi is severely overrated. You can use logical fallacies, but the context of his power is still relative to other characters in the series. He falls below Tobi and hangs around Jiraiya, that's where Kishimoto put him. It doesn't logically make sense for Itachi to be any more powerful than that, or else he could had just took out Akatsuki himself.

 

[saw2097]

You are obviously a Itachi fanboy, and Itachi is completely overrated.

You wank him as much as any other Itachi fanboy.

It was established that he would tie with Jiraya. Naruto, Obito, Sasuke, Madara, and Nagato would all destroy Itachi.
