I am sick and tired of Itachi. People don't seem to realize that he doesn't deserve his skills. He's waaay stronger than he should be. It's gotten so bad that everything about his character feels like an ass pull.

The MS techs:
Tsukuyomi - a one shot technique, one look into his eyes and you're dead. The only way to break Tsukuyomi is to have the same blood as Itachi and to be good at using your Sharingan. What a ****ing joke. There is only one person that can break it.

Amaterasu - another one shot technique. The conception of this technique is just ridiculous. A flame that appears on the target? Excuse me? But the stupidity doesn't stop there, it's an extremely hot flame that can burn anything and lasts for days. Good job, Kishi.

On top of this Itachi has access to all forms of Susano'o (except PS). But why is Itachi the only one who has two GODLY items equipped to it? How much power does a character need before enough is enough? I really can't wrap my head around how this is even fair or even reasonable.

Sword of totsuka - another goddamn one shot move. Seals whatever it pierces. Pure BS.
Yata Mirror - reflects and defends anything and can change it's shape. Purer BS.
Yasaka Magatama - this seemed balanced, until noticed how ****ing big the explosions were.

Even if I ignore Itachi's MS techs, he has:
Shadow Clone, Crows, KA bird, Fire & water release, ridiculous shuriken skill, strong genjutsu, shunshin, crazy handseal speed, 5/5 intelligence, Izanami, and probably Izanagi too.

Kakashi is meant to be the one with 1000 techs, not Itachi. Why give him such a versatile movepool?

Let's look at Hashirama for example. He's strong and overpowered, but at least most of his techniques are wood based.
Gaara is pretty strong too in his own right and his techniques are sand based.
Naruto techs revolve around Kyuubi.
Minato mainly uses FTG.
Nagato he is extremely overpowered, but at least he's only good at Rinnegan techs.

Itachi's abilities don't make sense. There is no real theme. He is a master of genjutsu, but also excels in other aspects. His array of moves seemingly give him a counter for everything.


Such a terrible design. Itachi was meant to be a gentle person who hated fighting, and yet his techniques make me think of an angry beast on steroids. What's worse is that people actually worship this monstrosity.

Yes it's really annoying how perfect he is. The only flaw that he has morally and skillfully is stamina. He is super good with Ninjutsu, Taijutusu and Genjutsu as well as Fuinjutsu, Shurikenjutsu and Kenjutsu. He was made this way so Sasuke gets a variety of power ups I think.

It is because Itachi is a genius and knows that a versatile movepool is better than having a lot of techniques based off the same things. It further goes to prove that he must of trained hard to gain those techniques, he was shown mastering his shuriken technique. he is a perfect example of a ninja because he has all of these different moves that he can use differently in any situation.

Don't worry bro, I'm cool with how Itachi is. It does make him unique but there is also one down-side. He has extremely low chakra reserves which means, as soon as he uses Susano he's on the brink of death. Also have to add, if he uses Totsuka and Yata mirror it is all over for him because the weapons require alot of chakra considering they belong to the Sage himself. hmm

By the way, there are a few shinobi that can take him so don't fret too much. xd Hashirama, Minato, Madara, Hiruzen, Shisui, maybe Nagato and Obito as well as Tobirama. All of these ninja's can beat him either to death or just for fun =D By the way, I'm talking about non-edo here. Obviously when edo tensei is used, the battle could last forever since you can't kill your opponent. U_U

this isn't some communist manga where everyone's equal; deal with the fact itachi has superior talent and is among the elite of the elite. you either got it or you don't.

LOL.... looks like you took it too emotionally.
Truly powerful people do not go rampaging around showing off their strength, exactly like Itachi.
Even Hashirama acknowledges Itachi and his mental strength.
I do not see how you can decide what Itachi was meant to be, I think ONLY Kishi can decide that, seeing that it was he who created the character.
If Kakashi was more powerful (as powerful as Itachi is) then Naruto would not have had the space to grow as becoming the one they depend on to save the day. In that case Kakashi would have easily stopped Nagato and the Hero of the Leaf would not have emerged.
