Raikiri can cut through anything. It cuts yata by hype
Rasengan can swallow everything. It swallows yata by hype
Kabutowari can crush every defenses. It crushes yata by hype
But by hype, Yata matches the properties of the attack coming at it...therefore it would be evenly matched and the attack neutralized.
@ Yes the fact that Itachi HAD The weapons bother me that much cause of masses of Itachi's fanboys used them to state Itachi is God/invincible etc., besides he is supperior to Goku or some other bullshit.
The lack of proper introduction of these sacred weapons is indeed plothole not matter how much you try to deny it.
These weapons weren't made for Itachi but they were just introduced by Kishi into stroy as deux ex machina or plot devices to get rid of Orochimaru at that time. It is furhter proved by Kishi when they were not bringed back along with ressurected Itachi.
However I agree with Itachi having trump card against Sasuke in battle... but I think Sussano would be sufficent. The problem with Itachi's fanboys while trolling is using NO LIMIT FALACY of these two sacred weapons in vs debate to prove their favourite supperior. Neither Minato's, Madara's or Obito's fanboys can use NO LIMIT FALLACY argument to wank or prove their favourite being Goku, so they will never convince me even if they also sound annoying a lot of times.
I like Itachi, he was actually one of the best characters written by Kishi, however giving him These two sacred weapons without proper introduction or setting limit on them or at least no stating that they have no weakness allowed wild fapboys to wank and fap other him being Solo King/Solo God and so on that it destroyed his image in my eyes and I like him much less now. It simple made Itachi broken character which is sad.
Actually I don't see Itachi being able to stop Juubi's TBB with his Yata Mirror in opposite to fanboys which claim that shit. The Juubi, Kagyua or Sage could be defnietly above Yata Mirror or Totsuka Blade unless on of them or some Kami was stated to create them.
It may be due to me being Dragon ball fan so I am fan of Power level advancing along with plot moving forward. In shot I am fan of abc logic, so it is simple and easy to know who is better or that someone with lower power level can not affect someone with bigger power level. It maybe that I don't understand how hax work...
That is just my opinion and thanks for the fast reply
I agree with everything that you stated. Itachi isn't going against Kaguya and her family or Goku, lol. xD He cannot even hold the weapons up long due to his stamina/sickness. But even if he was healthy and could hold them up for as long as he wanted to, he wouldn't beat them at all.
But @bold, Totsuka blade was brought back with Itachi. Yata didn't make an appearance however, or at least wasn't used.
I agree that susanno could have been enough for his trump card, and that the weapons were a little over-the-top. But as for them being a plot hole or Itachi being a broken character, I don't consider them to be. Itachi read alot about the shinobi world's/village's history & even went on missions alone from an early age and is quite intelligent, if someone had to have found them, it might as well be him. And if Kishimoto just felt like giving someone hax weapons like that, it might as well be Itachi considering that he was in his last battle & about to die anyway. xD
As for the fanboys, well I see that you've joined this forum in 2012. I just joined this year, so obviously I haven't had the same encounters with his fanbase as you have (therefore I may seem like a hypocrite for saying this, so I apologize in advance). But every popular character has fans like that. Some Minato fanboys say that he can FTG to the moon and I saw a thread just a few days ago saying he was a "solo god". There are also plenty of threads for Madara saying he's a "solo god". I wouldn't take any of that seriously. People just like to troll. But please don't let it cause you to like a character less (and I know that it is really hard not to, considering how annoying it is), because those fans are not true fans. They just like making people annoyed or angry. They are not directly affiliated with Itachi. The only thing you can judge his character on is...well, him. Not what a bunch of loons on a forum site say about him.
