People Don't Understand Izanami - In Most Cases, It's Not Applicable.

[Booker]

What people think Izanami does is instantly put you into a loop of a minute or so about what just happened until you accept your fate. This is true, but people think Itachi can just pull it out whenever the f*ck he wants. This is FALSE.

Izanami only works on people who don't accept who they are/the situation they are in. It wouldn't work on, say, Naruto, because he accepts who he is. Same with most characters.

It's not just some OP genjutsu Itachi can use whenever, and one-shot whoever. It was a special case with Kabuto that allowed him to use it.

Finally someone who understands it

I actually made a very detailed thread about the mechanics of Izanami...although I left that part out, it was mainly about how Izanami operates, not on who it is cast.

this, there is nothing so special about it

True, but if the person has no knowledge on Izanami how are they going to break out?

How will they be affected by it in the first place?

 

[Touken]

Just angry that I feel like it was created only for Kabuto.

Izanami works on everyone. Its just that people who accept their destiny can break out. That's how you break out, by accepting your destiny.

it only affects people who try to be someone who they are not. If the person aknowledges himself and Know's who he is and what he is doing, then Izanami does not work.

I believe that izanagi is better than izanami IMO.

EDIT: The person might be caught in izanami but If it has no affect, It wont do anything but Seal itachi's eye.

No. Izanami can be cast on everyone. The people who accept their destiny can break free from it though, but if you don't know the weakness to the tech how are you going to escape.

It doesn't work on anybody. People who accept who they are, such as Kakashi, will never be sucked into the genjutsu in the first place.

Even if they were, they'd break out instantly since they don't have any issues with who they are or their fate.

Itachi explicitly states that people who accept their fate are not affected by it. That's the whole reason it's a risky jutsu to use in battle.

But kabuto doesn't accept/know his destiny and He will break out of it? what says Naruto for example who know's himself the most will be affected by it?

 

[Strawberry]

Izanami can be cast on all but can be broken through in battle if the victim knows how to which is why it is forbidden

 

[Nous]

Yes it isn't applicable in most cases. However Itachi did it on Kabuto because he is a bully and is taking advantage of the Dragon Sage's Insecurities

:NO: :T_T:

 

[AlphaScythian]

Its very applicable. Itachi slaps ur fav character in the face once, itachi slaps him twice and voala, iznami. Not so hard.
Even if ur way is correct u still will waste some time to put a "check" on it

Yes. And also why it was the counter to izanagi. Someone using izanagi is basically trying to avoid his fate/ destiny
