Itachi's susanoo is not invincible.

[Truemadara]

right, because dust release would disintegrate something spiritual.. with no form whatsoever .. -_-


are you seriously linking madara's incomplete susanno that he has up , and comparing it to a complete one?

and no , databook says yata mirror reflects ANY attack

You must be registered for see images

Susanno changes EVERY one of its properties, allowing it to alter the ATTRIBUTES in accordance with the attributes of the attack <---- rendering it ineffective

I DO HOPE that you see the plural in that explanation, which shows susanno can defend against kekkegenkai also

Your entire thread good sir, is filled with incorrect points, flawed logic, and outright claims, You have failed to prove anything but the obvious..
It was stated in perfect english, that totsuka sword needs to pierce to person to seal them... Why you go on about that in one of your points? no idea

This shud have closed the thread.lol

 

[Pepsilover]

Wow, very good reading. This is why I joined narutobase in the first place. I miss good reading like these

 

[khaydz5]

I don't know why you guys still debating about this yata mirror. for god sake we only saw it once, and after that itachi died.lol. we have yet to see it block some high level jutsus, like dust release etc.

I wonder why itachi is not using it against kabuto, I mean, he can activate his full susanoo the whole time without worrying about his chakra. lol at kishi's plot no jutsu.

 

[Don Drama]

Every jutsu or technique has a weakness.. Itachi said it himself. Thus, his, Sasuke's and Madara's Susanoo are not exempted to the rule.

What make Itachi's Susanoo fearsome is because it wields the Sword of Totsuka. Legend has it that Susanoo slashed open the belly of the great snake serpent to retrieve the Sword of Kusanagi.

 

[Raito]

Many flawed points. Yes, A and Tsunade damaged Susanoo but an incomplete. You can't compare the ribcage of Susanoo, which got destroyed by A and Tsunade with a complete, which consists out of a full skeleton which is covered in muscles and is wearing an armour. Also A caused damage to the Level 3 Susanoo only due to Oonokis help and we don't know whether he could do it with a level 4 Susanoo Gaara pulled Madara out of his incomplete Susanoo also due to Oonokis help. The complete Susanoo is a perfect attack and defense, it can repel almost anything, sametime it can crush his opponents with a single attack. + Itachis Susanoo possesses Yatas mirror and Totsukas sword.

 

[Uchihagodzzz]

Booya! I get a cookie and a brownie.
And you get +Rep my good sir..
That was a very interesting thread. I myself am an Uchiha fan..But never noticed any of this...Way to go man.
And for those who hate on this thead, are just stuck up Uchiha lovers.

-PS..My quote (Life sucks...Wanna cookie?)
...thought i'd share that with you

I cant agree. To many flaws. The only record of sasunoo being broken or damaged was not itachi's and were not complete for that matter. the weapons his susanoo wields is spiritual. with out preta he is invincible.

 

[minatoboss]

One argument I always see people use for Itachi's fights is simply, "He uses susanoo, blocks all jutsu with yata mirror and then sword of totsuka is a one hit KO." Personally I think this is blatant ignorance so I'm just going to make a thread breaking down Itachi's susanoo and showing its flaws, like he said, "All jutsu have a weakness." In this case there's four.

*Also, keep in mind I'm not saying his susanoo is bad or anything short of amazing - I'm just saying it's not invincible or a guaranteed win in a fight!*

Weakness #1 - The Susanoo Itself.

We'll start with the susanoo itself - it's considered the ultimate defence yet lately we've been seeing it torn to shreds. It was invincible the first time it was used but that was thanks to the protection of the yata mirror which we'll get to (Edit: I should note that when I say susanoo itself and link you to OTHER people's susanoo being broken it's to show the technique in general can be broken, we didn't see enough of Itachi's susanoo for it to get broken and still haven't but it's obviously not uncommon for susanoo to get slapped around a bit).

So here's susanoo getting simply broken, there are more examples (quite a few more actually) but I think these will get the point across:

Raikage punching through it:

Tsunade devastating it with a kick:

Tsunade broke it with taijutsu, Mei with ninjutsu, raikage with his special nintaijutsu. While these are not full powered susanoo which may not be possible to break, or at least with such ease, here's another huge physical weakness of susanoo:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

That giant hole in the bottom is a huge problem. A large number of jutsu such as most water style, lava style, earth style, special jutsu like Jiraiya's flame oil he used against pain can easily slip under susanoo either killing or heavily injuring the user. While it's possible to dodge, a large enough jutsu could cause the user of susanoo many problems.

On top of this the user can be ripped out of their susanoo into an oncoming attack as is the main point of this picture, Gaara yanked out Madara and threw him in front of a rasenshuriken but it's very possible even Naruto could remove someone from susanoo via chakra arms in KM. There are more than likely many other methods to abuse this flaw.

Weakness #2 - Mangekyou Sharingan.

The only requirement for susanoo is the mangekyou sharingan which is in and of itself a giant flaw. Currently Itachi is the only ninja without EMS that's capable of susanoo (to our knowledge, at least) which is a huge flaw in his susanoo. Each time he uses it, possibly even each second that he's using it his eye sight worsens. While this is also caused by amaterasu and tsukuyomi I feel it's more applicable to his susanoo as from what we've seen it takes an equally large toll on eye sight if not more so due to its extended use.

While many would consider this a more minor flaw I feel it's extremely large as the susanoo will eventually destroy itself, while it seems edo-tensei makes Itachi immune to this effect assuming he was alive this flaw would be capable of fairly easily destroying his susanoo and himself.

Weakness #3 - The Yata Mirror.

While this mirror is a huge boon it's also a huge risk. It's not a true weakness but the point of this thread is to point out that his susanoo is not invincible so I'll treat its flaws as weaknesses for the sake of showing Itachi's susanoo is not perfect.

While I had an argument up here against the yata mirror, I've decided to take it down and take another approach. Instead of simply removing this I'll in turn correct my mistake and say that the Yata mirror is most likely immune to ALL elemenetal jutsu, whether or not it's weak to non-elemental jutsu or taijutsu is still up to debate though in my opinion. A poster, AkiraHikari, pointed out the fact that the shield may just negate the jutsu via using an equal amount of the same element of chakra, similar to how Kakashi negated Kakuzu's lightning jutsu via intercepting it and applying equal amounts of chakra.
What's more is when we get into a highly advanced bloodline technique like dust release. Not only is it made of multiple and sometimes opposing elements but it's designed to utterly disintegrate things - odds are the yata mirror wouldn't be able to prevent this jutsu and may be destroyed in the process.

I still believe that dust release can crush susanoo, more than before, in fact. First off the Yata mirror doesn't cover the whole susanoo which I'll talk about in more detail below, it only covers part of the susanoo. Because of this, I feel a large enough dust release technique (and we've seen some large dust release which I'll show a picture of shortly) can literally surround susanoo itself and obliterate everything within. Whether or not yata mirror can stop it at that point is debatable but I feel it's something to give some thought.

The huge dust release:

Spoiler

Another flaw, while less promoted, is the fact that it's only a shield. It applies to only certain parts of susanoo, namely the front, and leaves all other areas vulnerable. Assuming a jutsu is re-directable it's not a stretch to say the jutsu could simply be used on a different part of susanoo, which while it isn't a vulnerable spot is actually breakable.

Weakness #4 - The Sword of Totsuka.

Now we're at the part I've been dying to talk about. The legendary sword of totsuka, a weapon that merely has to slice you to seal you away into an eternity of drunken dreams. Thankfully though, it's not that cut and dry - as a matter of fact it's downright difficult to hit with and when Nagato got hit by the sword it was purely due to plot no jutsu which we'll get to shortly.

First off, the sword can't just cut you. You can't be slashed and sealed, the sword literally needs to impale you.

Here's the two reasons I feel you need to be impaled by totsuka to be sealed, this is the eight branches technique vs. susanoo - notice that susanoo cuts all of the heads off of the eight branches technique yet NONE of the snakes are sealed:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

Here is the first kill/sealing we saw by totsuka - Orochimaru's death. He was impaled but that's not what told me that an impalement was necessary, it was the manner of sealing:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

At first Oro was boasting about how susanoo's blade would do nothing against him yet it totally backfired, after the sword is in Oro for about five or ten seconds he suddenly fuses with the sword and is drawn into it and then finally put into the gourd. It seems totsuka's sealing isn't instant, the user must force the blade into a target and prevent them from escaping for a few seconds while the blade works its effect.

This is a huge flaw as it completely discredits the one-hit KO method of winning I see on so many Itachi vs. threads, it's hard to be in a position where you don't see the sword coming and harder to actually be totally impaled by it. Oro only died to carelessness.

Now here's Nagato's death, he is also impaled and there is a much longer waiting time for him to get sealed (which to me says that the more chakra is being absorbed the longer it takes to finish the seal as Nagato had more chakra than Oro).

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

So, as you can see, Nagato was sealed by totsuka. This is completely plot no justu and I'm still irritated by Nagato's death in this manner which I'll talk about in a bonus section of the thread.





So all in all, while Itachi's susanoo is the strongest we've seen - it's not invincible. He has many flaws ranging from the techniques basic flaws to his eyes and the two legendary ninja tools within his susanoo. Before referring to Itachi's susanoo as invincible or a guaranteed win in a fight, remember that even he has weaknesses and should be looked at realistically - especially with his ultimate technique.

Hope you guys enjoyed the read, as I'll always say on my long threads - if you made it through it, have a cookie.





A BIT OF EXTRA READING:

This is going to have to do with totsuka, this isn't anything about flaws but showing you plot-no-jutsu in its purest form and the sealing process of the sword.


So first the plot no jutsu:

While it's over looked, basically Nagato didn't see the sword of totsuka coming through the smoke and was thus impaled. I have serious trouble believing that and feel kishi over looked something - the rinnegan can see chakra.

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

In that picture the rinnegan can easily see chakra, while some jutsu like the hidden mist jutsu can prevent methods like dojutsu by seeing chakra due to fogging sight with ninjutsu in this case it was normal smoke, dojutsu can see through solid rock so I have trouble believing that Nagato couldn't see through that smoke. Assuming the rinnegan couldn't penetrate the smoke cloud, healthy Nagato had been shown to be very fast and I have trouble believe Akatsuki's most elite ninja couldn't dodge that attack or at least prevent impalement.

Now, for the limits of totsuka's sealing - I don't believe it could ever seal a tailed beast. Nagato's chakra was godlike yet nothing compared to a beast's and Oro was never said to have had large amounts of chakra. Oro was sealed in about five seconds or so yet Nagato had time to make a small speech leading me to believe he had about twenty seconds or so.

Assuming Nagato has four times as much chakra as Oro, which is within reason, it's safe to assume totsuka can only seal so fast which explains the lack of instant sealing. A tailed beast, even the one-tail, has nearly infinite chakra. Sealing a tailed beast, a lower one specifically, could take a minute yet sealing one of the upper three may take hundreds of times more than that due to the way beasts have their chakra assigned.

I feel it's likely that a tailed beast, even if impaled, would be able to quickly escape due to the sword being tiny in comparison to them and due to the fact that their immense strength would allow them to escape even a susanoo attempting to hold them down.

If you read this far, not only are you awesome but you get a brownie as well.

Hope you guys enjoyed this little bonus section. ^^

Also figured I'd leave a short message saying that I noticed something - the illogical people arguing against my points with no proof all have sharingan avatar. I'll also give some people credit, they pointed out some flaws in my argument and while that hasn't been edited in yet I figured I'd mention it. The main reason it's not edited in at the moment is simply because I'm working on some school work and taking a five minute break here and there to hop on the base.

You relaize one yata is said to block all attacks and a full armored susanoo cannot be broken sasuke wasnt using full susanoo neither was madara its weakness would probally be earth and gaara but maybe itachi holds the power on how fast it sucks you in because orochimaru was connected to sasuke so he was probally trying to suck him in without trapping sasuke. and for nagato he was letting him speak

Actually your wall of text has several reasoning holes. I was too lazy to check every single reply so if what i'm about to point out was already, i'm sorry.

When you talk about the Sword of Totsuka you are assuming the sealing process is something which lacks voluntary control from Itachi, thus why you reason that you need to be pierce for it to seal you. Wrong. Itachi has control over the sealing, meaning he can choose to seal or not seal something he cut through. The main reason why he didn't seal those heads at that time was that his purpose was to seal orochimaru himself and as so he needed to draw him out first. If he had seal something within the sword at that time, orochimaru would see it and would undoubftully find some way to avoid it. Lets not forget that Itachi fought against Sasuke for the sole purpose of awakening Sasuke's MS and take Orochimaru from him and seal him forever.

The Yata mirror... Lol You are overthinking it. Its a legendary weapon said to reflect/defend every single attack thrown at it. Simple as that. Nothing more about it. Its main and only flaw is its size. It can only defend the area immediatly behind it. Simple. Don't see why you tried to explain something you clearly don't understand. Lol Nor you nor anyone as it wasn't explained even the slightest how it works. What was said was that it was able to defend agaisnt anything thrown at it.

The hole beneath susano... Uh? You do realize that Susano is an Ethereal Warrior produced by the users chakra, who's physical manifestation varies according to how much chakra is poored in to it. This said. You can move in and out of it, independently of its position, as shown when sasuke jumped and got higher within it or even when Madara was forced out of his own Susano. Susano is generally attached (of some sort) to the user but thats not a static unbreakable condition. Holes... LOL

As for the rest... Meh. Your post assumes really too much, although i do applaud the effort and the dedication put into it. Rarely does one see such a foundamented and complete opinion on this forum.

[Kira was Righteous]

Susanoo is not invincible but if a attack hits the mirror like a projectile nothing is breaking through it repels every attack although i agree with some of these points.

The main weakness of the technique is the user while i think Itachi could defend against 95% of attacks with the mirror the strain and amount of chakra would not enable a long fight although he doesn't need a long fight vs the majority of opponents.

About the Nagato point kabuto was the reason he got sealed because to put it bluntly hes a noob.He even admited it was his fault here

which is highly unusual for kabuto i think kishimoto released how pathetic it was

 

[Saiyan Kammy]

of course Itachis Sussano is not Invincible. his sussano is nearly invincible I believe But you guys haven't saw what the Yata Mirror could truly do in defence for all we know it could probably tank a Tailed Beast Bomb. the creater of this thread is exploiting weaknesses when we don't know what the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Sword is fully capable off just imagine healthy Itachi in his prime using the TB and YM at full flight and spamming Amaterasu. the creater of this thread is just underestimating Itachis Legendary Items.
