I mean, these are magical ninjas with divine power from a demon tree, stuff like willpower and miracles are not out of the question when it comes to unlocking the secrets of their magical abilities. I can totally buy that, my suspension of disbelief is not in jeopardy because Kakashi of the Sharingan somehow possessed the ability to figure out how to do Susanoo with double Mangekyo within seconds this entire time. Good for you Kakashi, you really are a genius.
Now, in Part 1, there was some stupid ass bullshit that simply has no good explanation regardless of how you look at it or pull at straws.
For example, perhaps the biggest asspull in the history of Naruto was when Naruto, who was basically out of chakra, somehow dug a wide enough hole to fit his entire body in through solid ground to get underneath Neji without anyone noticing in under a minute with his bare hands and somehow knew where Neji was without Byakugan or anything and then burst out of the ground with enough force to deliver a decisive sucker punch to Neji's jaw, completely catching him off guard, and knocking him out to win the battle. Now that is what I call retarded writing, but everyone loved it anyway.
Does it ruin the story for me? Nah, but did it make any sense? Hell no, the "asspulls" in Part 2, like when Itachi used Izanami, actually had reasonable explanations for their existence even if we hadn't known about them previously, so there are no complaints there. Izanami in particular actually had some foreshadowing of its existence if you know the tale of Izanagi and Izanami, for which the powers were inspired by.
I have a feeling someone is gonna bring up Kakashi and Obito running in gravity dimension. Kaguya had adjusted the gravity for a split second so her ash bones wouldn't have their trajectory affected, that's when they made their move. Also, Kaguya wasn't very physically strong, she was a "glass cannon" and used ranged attacks and fists made of chakra, which is why she can be affected in the gravity dimension or by Sakura's punch, or have her arm ripped off with relative ease.
So yeah, stop *****ing.
