Even before the latest chapter (8) Sasuke has been shown using his sword very frequently:

Against Shin:

Against Kinshiki:

And now against "Golden" Momoshiki:

It's cool that Sasuke no longer needs advanced Ninjutsu to fight top-tiers, but it also means that the authors don't want us to see Sasuke going all out. What do you think?

I guess you can say it's cool but i think it's a downsight. His firepower comes from his eyes and he's kinda wasting his potential and relying on his physical ability. But then again, it's against an opponent that absorbs ninjutsu so it guess there's no other way.

It's just the fighting style of Uchihas. They like to rely on their mangekyo techniques and kenjutsu only despite having more Justus at their arsenal whether you push them to high diff or not.
I mean at when Sasuke fought Madara and Kaguya. He was still using his sword and chidori spear that he's been using since the Hebi days.

He's the finesse king, he doesn't need flashy over-the-top moves to slay opponents.

Also using Rinnegan is too OP and wouldn't give chance for Boruto to be a part of the plot, same reason Naruto hasn't been using RSM.

Its a refreshing change to see someone using something other than OP moves to win a battle, even though he is fully capable of pulling out OP moves.

And give Killer Bee half of Hagoromo power and he would smash Sasuke just like he did before.

Not even, I still think kenjutsu only killerbee wins the rinnegan and EMS don't enhance his pre cog like everyone says they do nothing indicates that

Sasuke's Kenjutsu has always been amazing. Not surprises there.

That was before he got the Rinnegan and EMS. He's on a whole new level now and would smash Killer B without moving.

You do realize that Bee failed, right? Sasuke was still much faster than him, despite being injured. Bee got punked, son. :kd:

if we are talking about pure kenjutsu skills than Killer Bee is clearly superior. When Sasuke show ability to handle 7 swords at same time than we can talk.

i see you are back with the jokes. he doesnt need his upgraded eyes to murk bee in kenjutsu as an adult so no point in discussing whether they help in precog or not

Hes had the "mangekyo" for so long tho he would've always had the straight tomoe since taka then.

We haven't seen any vast improvement in his kenjutsu to lead to that conclusion especially after he almost died twice within a few minutes fighting him so you're making assumptions but thats alright

I wish that we would see Sasuke with more kenjutsu fights , because I've really got sick from all those lame Kunais fights in Naruto and Naruto shippuden , I mean they are Ninjas for the God's sake , aren't they supposed to use Katanas instead of lame Kunais in close-range fights
