What IS the big deal?​

It's really starting to get on my nerves, on every single thread I look at involving Sasuke (and every thread that doesn't involve Sasuke because no matter what the topic, his fanboys always drag him into it somehow) someone always mentions how he's unstoppable "because he has the EMS."

I know that that the MS is a mega-powerful technique, but what makes the EMS any better? As far as I can remember, the only difference is that it's eternal; ie. you can use MS techniques as much as you want without going blind. I don't remember anyone mentioning any other upgrades or massive increases in power.

Just because Sasuke can use his MS without the risk of losing its light now, he still has to worry about chakra; all of the MS techniques use colossal amounts of chakra, especially the oh-so-special Susano'o. He's still the same Sasuke as before. Look at the battle against Kabuto, did his EMS give him any significant advantage whatsoever? Nope, Undead!Itachi still did most of the work.

So why does everyone act as if having the EMS automatically makes Sasuke some sort of epic Uber-God? Why does having the EMS make everybody put him in their top-5 lists? It doesn't do anything, it just makes him less likely to lose an eye. Apart from that, there's no significant power upgrade whatsoever.

Someone help me out here, because I am genuinely confused. What is the big deal about the EMS?

The user can run out of chakra or fight current Gaara and be beaten.

"After Sasuke gains the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the second layer of armour changes its appearance. The mouth of the armour changes to a beak shape, giving it an even more menacing look. The skin on the right arm and right hand gain additional plating, which gives the appearance of the skin peeling off, and the armour itself becomes more ghastly in appearance. The orb is now made entirely of the flames of Amaterasu and the arrows are at least seemingly coated with the flames, as seen when one of them pierced White Zetsu and set him ablaze.[31] Sasuke can also throw the flames in a tomoe shape, setting his foes on fire."

This and we also haven't seen its full power yet

That's what people keep saying, "We haven't seen it's full power", but there is no full power, I don't remember it ever being stated that there was any other power other than the blindness-negation thing.

The only thing I can think of that might be an additional ability is gaining the attributes of the other person's eyes, which is probably why his Susano'o is more developed, because Itachi's was.

I can see why everyone thinks they're useless since Hashirama defeated the best ems user with ease.
And people compare naruto to sasuke making sasuke's new eyes look weak even though we haven't seen its full potential.

I just quoted what the EMS has shown being useful for, do you read at all?

I expected us to see allot more from Sasuke than just his regular techs.
If this is all the EMS does allot of people have wasted their hype.

With ease? Did you not see the video with Madara vs Hashi?

The same goes for Naruto and his shit dbz mode... It's just not fair... stop being biased over another character. The flaws are everywhere...

The quote wasn't the bit I found weird; if you read what I said you'd see that I took the quotation into consideration; it boosted his Susano'o because of Itachi's eyes.

The bit I found was weird was the sentence you added after; the bit about its "true power".

Yes I believe Sasuke will receive more power-ups because he needs to catch up to Naruto's level, so it's frankly that we haven't seen its full power yet.
btw, doesn't perfect susanoo require EMS?
