1. Shifting Range

The items are stated to be formless, and can shift shape. The sword extends out of the guord, like Gin's bankai:

The shield extends, forming spherical defenses:

2. Flash Speed

Nagato has top tier reflexes, and didn't perceive it from 30+ meters (or else he would have diverted it telekinetically.)

Similarly, he wasn't "immobile," as he blitzed Bee. (ST has still always been faster than moving though.)

Here, it traversed several hundred meters instantly with multiple slashes, making the heads hit the ground simultaenously:

Orochimaru, like Nagato, clearly didn't perceive the Totsuka until already pierced. (Indicated by the question mark.)

3. Invicible Tools

Uchiha Madara called the items invincible in offense and defense.

Reminder: that was indeed Madara's (the most knowledgeable character in the manga) conscience.

Orochimaru, despite having Hashirama's DNA, Edo Tensei, etc. still always looked for the blade:

Like Madara, the databook also says the items are completely invincible in offense and defense:

The Mirror specifically changes any and all of its properties to counter all things.

These items are the ultimate known tools, and are a large part of what places Itachi easily within the top 10.

Though what you say is true, you will have a bunch of people calling you a fanboy, even though you gave them proof.
Nice post in my opinion.

The weapons do not make him stronger then some of those listed in top six or so, his stamina is too low.

Wildly underestimated?
They are the reason Itachi is a Solo King.
There are some trolls attempting to troll those items, but they fail...

"Itachi" and "Underrated" don't belong in the same thread together.

Arguably true, but this is specifically about the items.

It's common to see posts saying that ninja will just dance around Susano'o until Itachi dies.

Or flank the Yata Mirror.

Etc.

And all of these points are clearly, from the given evidence, incorrect.

How many times are you going to make this thread? and no itachi is over estimated. your assumption about the totsuka blade is wrong as well. Nagato was sealed due to plot not becouse he could not react and orochimaru was sealed cause he didnt know what the sword was until it was too late and allowed himself to get hit. The sword could be dodged, it does not have amaterasu speed or anything.

The plot is everything, and within the plot, the sword is too fast for him to react to. (Despite him stomping Naruto.)

Hence why the Totsuka's called the absolutely perfect offense.

And just imagine if itachi wasn't the self-less hero he was. Imagine if he really took sasuke's eyes and acquired EMS. Imagine if after that itachi were to get hashirama dna from oro and inject it into himself. Not only will he get rinnegan but also solve his low chakra and stamina problem. Itachi had extreme amounts of potential, enough to even surpass hashirama and madara, people need to respect the character and the potential he had

You're right. Hiting someone incapable to move on his own or another one who is careless is really an impressive speed feat

Nagato was cripple and couldn't move.
Itachi basically hid and attempted to attack.
Nagato was surprised 'cause Itachi formed Susano'o while Nagato wasn't paying attention.
Even though Nagato was cripple, Itachi still had to do cheap shots.

Nagato could've avoided it if he could walk.

You make it sound like the blade is an autokill once you whip it out.
Toutska Blade isn't my dick when I whip it out on a girl.

The former blitzed Bee and uses Shinra Tensei faster than he moves anyway. (So nice try, buddy.)

The latter is just a poor excuse in mitigating a speed feat.
