This is a response to this thread , that i didnt get to post because it was closed. After typing all that i had to post it somewhere xd

Firstly no jutsu is perfect and ive in fact rated tobi's ability to avoid attacks higher than itachi's susano.

First mistake was showing us an incomplete susano by other ninja's. In fact you have praised susano in you first paragraph. We have seen that it has taken kage level ninja's extreme difficulties to get past an incomplete susano and yet susano in its incomplete form still stands and is still protecting the user. This alone should tell you that susano even incomplete is one of the greatest defences in the show.

Also bare in mind that susano's defence goes up a level depending on its version. If kage level ninja's are struggling against its incomplete form, when its fully complete none of them, yes none of them will be able to get past it.

If you are talking about itachi's susano, at least you shouldve done the right thing and looked at itachi's incomplete susano's feat. Did you forget, or did you think nobody will mention it. Anyway itachi's incomplete susano protected him from kirin. Its v1 form alone was enough;

Kirin is a far superior attack than any of Tsuande's chakra infused punches and kicks or the combination of A and onoki and yet itachi's incomplete susano stood. Kirin> Tsuande punch > A & onoki combo.

Next mistake was when you thought a complete susano has the same weaknesses as a final susano and again you are wrong.

If you look at any of the incomplete susano's version whether in v1 or v2 or v3 it doesnt protect the user from underneath, but also it has a ribcage (gaps).

V1 susano;

If you see, susano's final form doesnt have a ribcage or the weaknesses that an incomplete one has

What causes blindness is more to do with tsukuyomi and amaterasu than susano. Susnao causes physical pain. Onoki was said to have fought madara in his prime and onoki still came out the lose. Dust releases clearly wasnt a factor. Do i believe dust release alone can obliterate a full susano? No. Damage it? Yes.

Now onto the legendary weapons assumtions. Firstly this is what the legendray weapons are described as;

You talked about kg techniques. Firstly the legendary weapon are ETHEREAL WEAPONS, meaning intangible/no substanceless/spiritual. Now alot of people will say will it does have a physical nature and they are right, but thats because it can turn from a weapon that has no physical presence to one that has.

The yata mirror was able to block physical attacks;

Kept the hydra's in check with it;

None of the attacks above were elementary. Onto elementary attacks, its been said that
it can change its element to subdue all elementary attacks and i quote "It is said to be endowed with all nature transformations and as such changes its own characteristics depending on those of the attack it receives, making the technique ineffective". Backed by Zetsu;

Clearly this includes kg, but for you ill makes several examples.
Ice release is a kg, but you see if the yata mirror was to change to a fire element this kg would prove futile. Fire > ice

Lava release, is fire and earth. If the mirror was to change to water, this makes this kg hopeless. Water > lava

Wood release. Water and earth. If the mirror changes to lightning/fire this makes this attack useless. Lightning/fire > wood

Storm release, lightning and water. If the mirror changes to wind, this makes the attack useless.

You say if dust release was fired above. You see the yata mirror isnt stationary. If susano was to lift its hand and use the yata mirror to protect the user from above, then dust release is also a non factor.

Onto the Totsuka sword. The sword is also an ethereal weapon and infact is made of liquid, yes liquid which comes from the sake jar and i quote "It is sheathed in a sake jar; the blade is actually the liquid inside the gourd that is released and shaped, rather than a conventional sword". Even the manga backs this;

Its after did it have a physical presence was it able to cut the heads of the hydra technique. Tbh im not sure how this is a weakness because even if lets say it didnt seal it, its clearly sharp enough to easily slice the heads of such giant snakes with one swoop. He easily cut through a human body. Also itachi couldve wanted to cut the heads off and not seal it, instead save that for oro. It does say anything it pierces though so ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say it has to pierce you to seal you, but id rather be sealed than get decapitated.

You then talk about its speed. Firstly a weapon is only as useless as its user and a legendary weapon is no different. Itachi has what it takes to fool an opponent either with a Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu or his genjutsu prowess. Although ill say that in both cases (oro and naagto), both were standing still, the totsuka sword still got them will relative ease and infact in both cases, they didnt know what hit them before it was too late. Oro was in the middle of his speech when he got impaled;

Nagato had no idea what was going on and notice the exclamation mark and surprise on his face;

You then claimed that the more chakra a user has the longer it takes to seal?. That is not only a wild assumption, its not a weakness. If you get impaled whether you have a monstrous chakra or not, you'll end up in the bottle.

The rennigan like the other 2 doujutsu can see chakra, but the reason why nagato couldnt see susano is because it was covered by smoke. The smoke you can say acts the same was as the Kirigakure no Jutsu (hidden mist), which blocks the sharigans view point;

You then say the totsuka sword cannot seal a tailed beast, what prove do you have?, the answer is none. Now its my turn. The totsuka sword is no different from the Kohaku no Johei, which is another legendary weapon which sealed the 8 tails. If one legendary weapon can, i see no reason why another legendary sealing weapon cannot although that is the closest 'proof' we have that it can, but also what the DB says

I am in agreement with a good portion of the post that you have created. There are certain things in some of your evidence that I think are questionable, but the rest of it is pretty credible.

As long as Itachi's feet is on the ground then the weakness still stands.

Totsuka is a variant of Kusanagi and Kusanagi isn't that fast as Orochimaru remarked that the Third Hokage could have dodged it easily and Tsunade could catch it with her feet(she has 3.5 speed by the way) Nagato and Itachi were still , Nagato couldn't move and the exclamation point in the manga was from the fact that he just got stabbed by a weapon he couldn't see coming and couldn't move to dodge. Orochimaru seemed to have taken the blade intentionally as he laughed after getting stabbed.

It can seal tailed beasts but can't seal Kurama since it can't pierce it due to the fox's impenetrable skin which tanked Kusanagi(of which Totsuka is a variant), (Rasenshuriken, the most powerful wind technique in the Shinobi world right now)

It can't seal inanimate objects as it never has.

You have no proof it was the skeleton that tanked Kirin as all we saw was Itachi on the ground after the blast, he got up and activated the skeleton.

I doubt his incomplete susanoo blocked kirin cause how did itachi lose his robe, and I believe Onoki and A combo punch could break itachi incomplete susanoo.

What im trying to tell you is that complete, it doesnt have the gaps that an incomplete does. You say it cannot seal kurama?, this thread isnt for such a topic, but this is what ill say. If a jinchrucki's was in v2 its body is covered by the beasts chakra, and thats what protected naruto from the kusanagi. If a beast has no host, it doesnt have this advantage. If you go back to when minato sealed the with the death god, it went right through him and the totsuka sword being of similar nature should act the same.

I do agree that it cannot seal inmate objects and tbh i dont remember saying it can :confused:.

At the highlighted part, but i do. If you go back to when itachi tanked kirin he couldnt react in time to activate the full version and after the attack did we see v1. It no different to how he couldnt activate a final susano in time against kabuto.

Its after kirin did he activate the full susano;

Most of the points you made are self-explanatory, only someone who doesn't read the damn manga would disagree. lol Although there are some that aren't entirely solid.

V1 Susanoo surviving Kirin
- No where in the manga does it show the actual attack landing, so we can't say for sure which version of Susanoo was being used. All we saw was Kirin coming down, then an explosion, and Itachi laying on the floor. Just because he activated V1 susanoo afterwards does not mean that's what he used to block Kirin. Pure speculation on your part. Here are the screens.

Can you see which Susanoo was used? Yeah, me neither.

Totsuka Sword - It was only used on Nagato and Orochimaru, and as you said they were both standing still. Not the best examples when it comes to speed. You also have to remember Nagato wasn't in control either. I'd say Susanoo is just as fast at swinging a sword as any other swordsman is, but on a much larger scale.

Susanoo surviving Dust Release - Again, pure speculation. For all we know the reason Madara beat Onoki might have been because he couldn't land Dust Release on him. No where in the manga has this clash been shown, so until we see it it's best to leave it at that. What I will say though is that everything that has been said about Dust Release has shown itself to be true. Anything caught inside the blast radius is obliterated, and I think Susanoo is no exception. Only Itachis Susanoo with the Yamata mirror will be able to survive it, everyone else is screwed. That's my theory anyways.

Everything else I agree with.

Tsuande broke through Susano'o. Are implying Itachi's Susano'o is greater than Madara's Susano'o in terms of defense.

Now it's possibly to argue Itachi used the Mirror to protect himself against Kirin. Why? When we see him getting up, There is no Susano'o. Once he get up, then he starts showing off Susano'o.

Zetsu said with BOTH weapons Susano'o is invincible.

Now.. We have this...

Where Susano'o actually protected him, but he had to take Susano'o up to the next level.(P.S. I'm not sure what you think is v1 or v2 Susano'o.)

Kirin is stronger than all of those moves^




Basically.. What I'm trying sum up is, I believe the mirror protected Itachi from Kirin, Not Susano'o alone.

Complete Susanoo has so much gap that Bee and Naruto could be inside it and Sasuke was inside Itachi's

Actually this impenetrability is for only Kurama as Bee's tentacle was sliced by Chidori spear but Kurama's tails tanked a Super Big Ball Rasengan which Databook says hollows mountains, when he fought Naruto, Kakashi used lightning chain to slice off chakra arms while Kurama's V2 couldn't be penetrated by Kusanagi, which is said to cut through almost anything. The Death God is very much different from Susanoo, as it is transparent, invisible to everyone except the sealer and the sealed, it can pass through anything without even damaging it as it put its hand through Sarutobi's belly and only tore his shirt and it held Orochimaru's soul after passing through his shirt but not damaging said shirt.

i agree, we didnt see itachi activate susano, until after kirin. But you see itachi said if it wasnt for this i would be dead. If he didnt tank it with susano, what did he tank it with, his body? xd.

Incomplete;


After did we see itach becoming complete;


He couldnt react fast enough to activate its full version. Its after did we see him activate it. I do agree that the sword itself isnt fast enough, atleast not against faster opponents but as i said the sword like any weapon is dependant on the user.

Also agree that we dont have enough evidence that susano, its final form can tank jinton, but an incomplete susano alone has shown us incredible durable feat, but also going by onoki and madara;s fight although we dont know exactly what happened apart from the winner who was a susano user.

lol, I didn't read the thread you were referring to, but I can understand why didn't waste what you wrote.

few things:

1.Itachi susan'oo was crushed and he only survived due to his mirror.
2.Itachi's susano'o has no legs so it still got the same weakness as the one Gaara by-passed.
