Re: Sasuke done pretty dirty by Kishimoto despite being Naruto's supposed "rival".
See, the thing is, there's two types of logic;
- Kishimoto logic (which some of us follow)
- fanboy logic (which you apparently follow)
Kishi established from the start of part 2 that sasuke absolutely shits on the collective might of team 7 and even kakashi. He even put hebi sasuke up against 3 S-Class opponents, then MS sasuke against about 4 more. Yet, it amazes me that some people claim "Sm naruto defeats sasuke hur dur". The simple truth is, SM naruto would have problems against hebi sasuke, let alone MS sasuke.
Kishi then went on to Establish the frightening defence Susano'o is capable of to show us that SM naruto needs a massive powerup if he hopes to survive. Kishi shows that ribcage to V1 susano'o is capable of tanking lightning, liger bomb, enhanced fuuton, lava, combination attacks. What's the response to this by naruto fans? Oh... "sasuke's susano'o's featless, Rasengan breaks it".
Kishi then gave naruto some brief hope by giving him KCM. By that point, It was fairly safe to say KCM naruto had the upper hand against MS sasuke and sasuke was the one in need of a power up... Especially seeing as he was blind and all. So, what does Kishi do? He gives sasuke EMS with full enton manipulation. He can shoot enton magatamas, wield an enton sword and sustain a V4 susano'o casually with no effort. What was the response by naruto fans? Oh... "Rasenshuriken breaks that... Naruto just spams it and kills sasuke" even though a susano'o 2 tiers lower, and without the added defence of enton > fuuton could only be cut by a severely enhanced wind blade. What was their response then? Naruto's rasenshuriken has more cutting power just because.
After which, we know what came next. Naruto got BM, and Oh boy, the fans went crazy. "BM naruto >>>>>>>> EMS sasuke neg diff", "KCM naruto >>>> ems sasuke neg diff", "Sasuke's only chance is against SM naruto"
Tl;dr; Moral of the story, you'll believe what ever you want to believe. That's up to you, but Kishi has already portrayed EMS sasuke (no susano'o) as equivalent to KCM naruto, EMS sasuke with susano'o (as equivalent to BM naruto) and EMS sasuke using purely taijutsu as above SM naruto.
