One reasons Itachi is so overrated and recieved a more ignorant fanbase is because of Izanami. People see Izanami as a one-shot technigue but the truth is that its the MOST USELESS technigue in Naruto. That move takes ALOT of prep tome and it only works on people who are "internally lost" with makes up for like 0.8% of the characters. The only character it worked was Kabuto and that wouldnt have happened if Itachi wasnt an edo. People like A, Guy, Muu etc wouldnt get caught in Izanami.

P.S. Izanami works by the sharigan user memorizing 3 "pictures" or scenes in their heads after performing them. Followed by a hand seal, the preps would be done. However, Izanami wont activate unless the user reperforms one of the "pictures." The user and then lose a sharigan while the opponent gets trapped in Izanami.

Not to mention there is a very simple way to break Izanami...

Izanami is not useless however, as it was not invented as an actual combat jutsu, and instead utilized to teach other Uchiha not to invest solely upon its counterpart: Izanagi. Izanami works by forcing the affected individual to make a different decision to break free of the illusion or instead suffer repetitious occurrences within their minds for technical eternity. Izanami as it was intended served its purpose perfectly.

Totally agree, it's sole purpose was to counter Uchiha who used Izanagi to escape undesired results.
It has little to no practical use in most combat scenarios whatsoever, because it relies upon the target having lost their sense of identity or overcome with arrogance.

Well Guy is not in denial. He knows all to well that hes getting old. He said so like 20 chapters ago.

Very Simple...

Do you realize the only reason that he used Izanami is that he didnt want to kill kabuto? If he had killed him then the edo tensei would have not ended.
OT: Probably.

Well Itachi cant kill Kabuto. Edo or not.

But Itachi fans still say he can one-shot people in actual combat.

ok you say the tech makes itachi overatted and then go on to say how hard it is to use, do you understand how that makes your argument collapse on itself?

but i agree it only works on very few opponents but that being said i think itd work on most bad guys and itachi is a good guy so its legit.

OT: i agree fanboys make itachi look bad but making a bad argument is just going to fuel the flames. pointless thread imo

Itachi's FANS say hes more OP because of Izanami when they dont realize how useless it is.

I'm simply saying why that is.

Everything in bold is false according to the manga i read.

Izanami works by using your opponents senses as itachi said . Every living/Dead ninja has 5 senses which already rules out some of what you've said.

Izanami doesn't have prep time, it begins when the user chooses to begin it by saying "Izanami". All the user of izanami then has to do is replicate the same Bodily sensation as itachi said here:

You must be registered for see images

He couldn't have been referring to Kabuto because in the Images, Kabuto was in different positions blocking the same technique from itachi.

You claim that the technique only works on "Internally lost" characters. where did you get this falsity?

The jutsu was created to control the Uchiha abusers of izanagi as said . Kabuto was not an uchiha nor did he wield izanagi as a technique. This obviously implies that the jutsu can be used outside of it's intended purpose.

The only reason Itachi went throught that whole picture process explaining izanami was to make it easier for Sasuke and readers to understand. It isn't limited by 3 pictures...that was neither stated nor implied. Itachi specifically said that it accounts for everything that happened inbetween A and A' (A.k.a. When the user Says "Izanami!" the first and second time).

People be mad these days, nothing interesting anymore. all I see on here is either you hate Itachi or you dont for the past 2 weeks. who cares, Kabuto is a sitting duck now. A win is a win no matter if its by an inch or a mile. These threads already been made like 50 times after the chapter came out. The main point is that Kabuto is the only person he would ever have to use it on anyways, he can defeat his other enemies in a different way. Anyone who says its a one shot is just ignorant. also once again his intent was not to kill arguably he could have won by different means but lets leave that for a vs thread.

Izanami indeed would'nt work on most characters, I don't see why izanami is even mentioned in such debates.
But he is over rated as well as under rated.
People actually tink Nagato could defeat him, wich is frankly wrong.

Only 0.8% of the characters. I can tell you've done your research.
