[Theory] Sasuke's Ability.

[-ahhimane-]

In today's chapter, it seemed that Sasuke needs something to swap the places like he swapped himself with Sakura's jacket.
But there were instances where he used his ability without swapping but shifting.
Long ago, I had made a theory on that and it seems it's still valid Lol

My Point:
Sasuke's ability can
1) Swap places when he shifts himself
2) shifts anyone he wants.

Let's take a look at the instance when he used these abilities. Take your time to read. =D

1) When Madara attacked with thunder for the first time.

This image proves that what I say is wrong but the image itself doesn't speaks clearly itself since it was the first time Sasuke used his ability (to confuse us Lol)
From the image, it seems that Sasuke shifted himself but he didn't swapped with anything. Or who knows he swapped with something but that thing got destroyed by the lightning since it appeared where Sasuke was.

2) When he stabbed Madara with the sword using his ability.

Spoiler

Now there are series of scenes which should be made clear to take into account for this point. I hope you can follow what I'll be saying now.
1) From Manga's perspective, Naruto is talking to Sasuke. Sasuke is on the right side of Naruto.

2) Sasuke's sword is on the left side of Naruto

3) Madara attacked Sasuke who is still on the right side of Naruto.

4) Madara got pierced by the sword.

Take a good look. Madara landed on the right side of Naruto. Sasuke came from the left side. Means Sasuke swapped himself with the sword, the moment Madara got close to him.

WHICH proves my point 1 from the ability list

3) When Naruto and Sasuke attacked Madara with rasengan and chidori.

Sasuke told Naruto to throw that rasengan at him. Also Madara was shocked because he sensed something. IMO, he sensed the chakra in Sasuke's left eye and he got to know that Sasuke will be using his ability once again. Just like how Juubito noticed chakra in Sasuke EMS when he shot Amaterasu at Juubito.

Sasuke then shifted Madara from his location to in between Naruto and Sasuke

This proves my point 2 from the ability list

4) Sasuke escaped the lava when his PS was pushed back by a chakra blast from Kaguya.

Sasuke was thrown back. Also Naruto was not able to hold himself to go and save Sasuke from falling into the lava. And then Naruto was shown shocked.

Even in this scan, Naruto was shown shocked because Sasuke shifted Naruto and got his back. And then held onto Naruto's leg because Naruto was already floating. With this Sasuke managed to stop Naruto from tumbling by blocking him from back as well as managed to save himself from falling into the lava.

This proves my point 2 from the ability list.

5) Shifting Kaguya.

Naruto punched Kaguya. Kaguya is thrown and the distance between her and Naruto is going on increasing. Sasuke signaled Naruto.

Spoiler

Naruto turned his back. Sasuke leaped right in front of Naruto ( take a look on the lines around them ) And then Kaguya was shifted between them. Kaguya is shown shocked.

This proves my point 2 from the ability list

6) Swapping with the jacket

Spoiler

Sakura threw her jacket behind her.

Spoiler

Sasuke swapped places with the Jacket.

This proves my point 1 from the ability list
This page doesn't says that Sasuke can only swap places but also can shift anyone he wants at his own WILL.
He was running in order to get into the range. And to send himself out of the desert he had to swap with something. And the jacket was there right in front of him.

CONCLUSION :

Spoiler

Sasuke posses two types of abilities.
He uses swapping when he has to shift himself. He uses shifting when he wants to move something/someone except himself from its place.

Don't get mad over today's chapter saying his ability sucks. He only showed the ability which wasn't used by him for many times. He was using the other one this whole time.

I rests my case. Thank You.
And don't mind to share your thoughts. =D

 

[Trúth]

Hmm Kishi mistake? Because Sasuke explained his powers in this chapter i see no reason for him to leave this part out.

 

[BLAZE]

Great analysis bro

 

[moist]

And nope

Just some limited range technique simular to FTG.

Kamui reks.

 

[Draxus]

Sorry but I disagree. Makes no sense for him to have 2 different s/t jutsu's that both have same limitation (distance), with the later having an additional restriction. It's a manga and Kishi wasn't try to give away exactly how the jutsu worked, so he purposely framed panels in a way to confuse.

You can't prove there wasn't some rock Sasuke could have easily swapped with.

 

[TRE MERCER]

Good thread but how does the ability suck?

 

[- J AV -]

And nope

Kamui reks.

FTG is different than Sasuke's technique


OT: I agree compltely. At first I thought Sasuke gonna switch himself with obito but at last panel it was jacket lol

 

[V h o]

Not so sure about the warping himself alone thing yet. A lot of it seemed liked he swapped places with either debris or swapped a person with debris imo

Just a similarity.
Obito's Kamui.
He was the only one possessing two abilities in the same one eye. He can use Kamui as well as go intangible to avoid attacks with a time limit.

 

[EVlL]

yep, nice theory

 

[Sound]

That's one nice interesting theory. But Kaguya actually noticed . Kishi always uses chat boxes with double exclamation marks when chars are aware of something

then no one would have said that his ability sucks (after witnessing it again in the current chapter) if this was going from chapter 674, right?
Kishi made use of specific things only for Sasuke to swap himself.

Not only Tobirama but Minato as well since their sensory ability is far greater than others (not comparing with the Juubi jinchuuriki)
Madara also has the sensory ability also he sensed the chakra erupting in Sasuke's left eye and hence he planned to escape. He saw it coming but didn't knew what it was.
Kaguya also sensed in the same way as Madara.
Sakura didn't knew. She was shown shocked because she heard Sasuke as well as she was held by him.

 

[Draxus]

Just a similarity.
Obito's Kamui.
He was the only one possessing two abilities in the same one eye. He can use Kamui as well as go intangible to avoid attacks with a time limit.

Obito doesn't go intangible, I don't think I need to go over how Kamui actually works. Ultimately it's the same ability, he just uses it differently.

Having the restriction to have to swap with an object and not having to swap is two completely different abilities.

Kamui reks.

I know you didn't read.

Hmm Kishi mistake? Because Sasuke explained his powers in this chapter i see no reason for him to leave this part out.

You also didn't read. I nowhere said that Kishi made a mistake. Lol

 

[-ahhimane-]

Good thread but how does the ability suck?

the viewers says that.

 

[V h o]

Are you taking those hate threads serious? Any instantaneous ability doesn't suck.

I could see the warping himself alone thing if debris wasn't nearby so conveniently. Not ruling out another ability but it does match more or less with his swapping still ( I think).

Yep Agreed.

I meant. Obito had only one MS and he was seemed to able to use two different abilities but sharing a same dimension.
Intangibility and Kamui. Though Intangibility was the part of Kamui.
It was later proved that those two abilities are one and the same.

In the similar way, Sasuke used two abilities which are clear to everyone and that's why they are asking all this things about "Did Sasuke used air to swap Madara and Kaguya?"
But who knows these two might be one and the same ability but are used in two different ways.

Well, I had to confirm it for my self as well. SO I made a theory. But showing swapping ability without showing what has been swapped also holds importance and just saying he swapped with "debris" is not the answer, right?
