Bruh. You sound like a frickin broken record and I stopped giving a shit about half a week a go. Stop stating the obvious for the most part. If Kishi wanted Raikage to survive, he would've found a way. Naruto shook ama off with a shitty chakra cloak. Jiraiya sealed it in a scroll in part 1. I'm mostly agreeing with you, ffs. Raikage at least loses a leg and medical jutsu would have to make an appearance. Regardless, Raikage wins if he wasn't a ****.
You better focus on the actual argument instead of being picky and focusing on other things. The gist of the argument is included within. You can choose to read that or just go through, and focus mainly on the actual theme. No one is shoving it up your mouth. So don't be so butthurt about that.
@bold The best ignorance excuse ever... Why don't you apply this excuse to every situation and never ever jump into an argument again? Also, Kishi did find a way to save the Raikage. He saved him through Gaara.
And chakra cloak blocks it. Anything can block Ama, no big deal. And Jiraiya knew the seal. Raikage doesn't. Naruto and Jiraiya aren't the subject of focus here. Raikage is. If there was another way, he wouldn't have chopped of his arm in the first place.
Medical ninjutsu just heal the part where the leg was lost. Nothing gets restored. And that's about getting hit on the leg only. If Raikage went in further, complete body engulfed in Amaterasu couldn't save him anyway.
2nd @bold Nobody is talking about Raikage vs Sasuke by feats, everybody is talking about the results if Gaara hadn't intervened and stopped the fight. The continuation. So don't bring useless things like Raikage would have won if he wasn't a b****.
You completely deny the chance of a tie. Shows the bias. How durable do you think Sasuke is without susano? Raikage could probably get a few hits in on Sasuke while he's completely on fire too. Lord knows ama burns slow as hell. Can't even remember a time where it was shown spreading by itself. Possibly the forest when Itachi fought Sasuke but then again...they're trees..
It's not biased. I gave the reasons.
Raikage will be screaming in pain. For the sake of argument, let's agree that he can deliver a couple of hits. Those hits will just be ordinary taijutsu, not some powerful move since Raikage won't have time to deliver those moves. Just a couple of hits won't make that big of an impact.
And the fact that you're ignoring Sasuke's chance of further developing the Susanoo like he did subsequent to that just shows how biased YOU are.
@bold Amaterasu doesn't need to spread by itself.
Edit: Ama is also a defence as seen in Sasuke & Itachi vs Kabuto btw. Re watched the fight. It only boosted my confidence in Raikage. Literally JUST before the kick. The raikage gave his left arm and this left Sasuke's ribcage alread shattered and cracked to shit and he looked like he was in no shape to fix it. Covering his eye and coughing blood, lying on the ground. The distance of flames from Sasuke's body also made it look like there was no space for a ribcage at all. Which isn't a good sign either. It'a as if Sasuke was winded.
Amaterasu is a defense, nobody denied that. But at that specific point it was used as an offense. It's actually a kind of a defense, that becomes an offense once trespassed.
@bold He always looks like in no shape to do things, and that's exactly when he he brings up something even more powerful. And he was lying on the ground to wait for the Raikage to makes his move since he already prepared a counter. And after Raikage struck the Susanoo and Sasuke fell, the Susanoo was a COMPLETE ribcage right before Raikage was doing the Guillotine drop.
And I never said Raikage needs to COMPLETELY phase through the flames. Even if he phases through Amaterasu shield till the chest, it's still GG. No body parts available to cut. He would have no option.
I loved the Darui's reaction. "Damn, he sacrificed his left arm" all calmly. In the dubbed version Gaara says after saving Raikage that "if you had continued with your attack, the black flames would have further INJURED you." Just pointing that out.
WOAH stop everything. Shee knows medical jutsu. Sorted.
Raikage as Sasuke was trying to use genjutsu and then just used it on shee: "A mere sharingan can't stop me" lol
Gaara's statement wasn't needed BTW. I already gave you the two viable cases of Raikage's injury to death. I never said Raikage would only die and nothing else. He could also be injured but then the corresponding Sasuke condition is also applicable. If Gaara said that the black flames would've injured Raikage, then he indirectly meant Raikage couldn't penetrates Susaoo's defenses and then only his leg would be cut off which means "injury", since they're both interlinked.
Medical ninjutsu doesn't prevent Raikage leg from being cut off i.e. being "injured" or extinguishing Amaterasu. What sorted?
He was referring to his speed since Sharingan couldn't keep up. Nothing about the genjutsu. Sasuke had multiple opportunities to put him in genjutsu just like Madara did, and Raikage had no counter for genjutsu if caught.
