Maybe this was the actual asspull of the year.

[Dantee]

Sasukes PS sword destroying the Sages God Sword was a bigger asspull than Minatos SM. I must admit Sasuke being a planet buster was unexpected.

Oh god.:vincent:
And it was Naruto's sage power+sasuke's PS sword btw.*_*

 

[PureSkillz]

Obviously because that was hype. The sword was made of the black stuff.

The world existed way before the sage.

Not saying that an 'asspull' is a real thing, but that's not one of them.

 

[Fair Warning]

I thought the lack of development of the sword was dumb.

All of a sudden Obito has the strongest weapon, next panel its gone

Sasuke had help y'know. Not to mention Kishi gave Naruto the complete spotlight in that entire fight. Sasuke was just "there"

 

[HadouKage]

Agreed, the power of friendship rules allU_U

I agree. Although I have a feeling well see it again thanks to Madara.

Friendship is powerful in any shounen manga.

Friendship to the face.​

 

[BazzBee]

Kishi logic: Friendship > anything

 

[Flawž]

It wasn't sasuke or naruto that broke it, it was Obito doubting himself that broke it. remember the sword was said the have created everything and whiten it lies Rikudo's feelings? Well Obito doubted himself making the sword useless.

 

[Dantee]

So can we all just say the Sword of Creation just canceled out because friendship is the defining factor of who wins a fight in Naruto?

It's Fairy Tail all over again.:|

1. "Created the world" is obviously hyperbole. If the sword's appearance is any indication, the sword may have had some role in distributing chakra to ordinary humans (the sword appears has a double-helix shape, i.e DNA). Thus, "created the world" likely refers to the ninja world (which, incidentally, is what Obito is trying to destroy, NOT the planet Earth itself).

2. It was heavily implied that Obito's uncertainty / regret played a part in weakening Obito's strike. His sword was broken after his Will was... Obito didn't have the conviction that Naruto did.

3. Yes, a large portion of the sword's power came form the fact that it was swung by Naruto's Sage Mode Kyuubi form. Obviously Sasuke's PS is very powerful, especially with Juugo adding Sage chakra, but I believe it was the combination of the two that gave it its strength.

All-in-all, not an asspull at all. However, the sword should have been actually used prior to being defeated; the way it was unjustifiably hyped is just half-assed. Kishi didn't NEED to build up Obito's attack for it to seem like a huge accomplishment when Naruto/Sasuke defeated it; the fact that he implied all these ambiguous "feats" had been accomplished with the sword just makes it confusing.
