Was the author playing some pattern games when he designated the powers of the MS and Bijuu?
For one, all of them are direct counters to Susa Armour
Shukaku is intangible, Matatabi is speedy, Isobu too hardened etc
Yet for the 'lesser' powers, it gets tricky
Shukaku is a direct counter to Tsukiyomi since he's intangible (no nervous system), likewise Kamui. Koto gets him since it doesn't require eye contact
Matatabi is a fire, but Amaterasu is a fire that eats fire
Isobu is too big for Kamui and his shell limits the power of Ama, but he always had an eye open for Tsukiyomi
Son Goku uses lava which makes Kamui unworkable, but always leaves openings for genjutsu
Kokuo uses rush attacks that make Koto worthless and steam that would blow away Ama, but Tsukiyomi could end her before she reaches her target
Saiken has a soft body that is a perfect target for Ama
Chomei has anti-chakra cocoon armour that perfectly counters Ama and powder that blocks vision for genjutsu, but is the smallest bijuu, perfect for Kamui
Gyuki has already demonstrated a weakness to Ama
Kurama likewise with genjutsu
So is there a purposeful matchup relationship with MS and bijuu or random coincidence?
