And none of them have Senju DNA

This. I can't believe many people forgot that you need Senju DNA to use Izanagi haha Obito explained what you need for Izanagi to Konan , , and .

Itachi said people used Izanagi way before people had Senju DNA. They spammed it so they made Izanami to stop it. Madara although had EMS didn't have Senju DNA and used it. I think Senju DNA just enhances the time limit of Izanagi.

Itachi never said that. He said long ago, the clan spammed it. The clan was also constantly battling the Senju. Corpses and blood soaked weapons would make excellent sources of Senju DNA.

I can't remember if he used EMS Izanagi before or after inserting the Senju DNA.

Itachi did not have senju DNA, so please explain that.

The truth is, Kishi retconned the Senju DNA requirement so he could have Itachi use it and add depth to the inner struggle of the Uchiha clan. As of the Sasuke/Itachi vs. Kabuto fight, Senju DNA is not required for Izanagi or Izanami. Saying every Sharingan user had good enough access to and the actual means to implant said Senju DNA is ridiculous. The manga directly implies during those explanations that Senju DNA was no longer a requirement.

As for the OP, Kishi also retconned the usage of Izanami and Izanagi into the Uchiha repertoire. Again, he added that aspect of the clan to increase the depth of their story. One could say he had not given the average clan member credit for those abilities at that point, or PLOT for short. One could still argue that Itachi combining his strength with Obito was enough to neg every other Uchiha, whether they knew the technique or not.

I didn't say that they used it before having Senju DNA I worded it wrong. Tho Madara was the 1st to take Senju DNA(possibly). And Madara had a time lapse Izanagi when Hashirama stabbed him he implanted Senju DNA afterwards.

they couldn't use a jutsu they didn't know about in the first place. Even if they knew about Izanagi, they didn't exactly have easy access to Senju DNA.

"Good access to Senju DNA" they were constantly killing them. Look at what happened to Hashirama's brother, they didn't find the corpse till way after the Uchiha left. They could have easily just took some of his blood, flesh or got it off their weapons. Hashirama said many of the kids didn't make it to adulthood. They could have gotten it from the many kids they killed.

"Means to transplant it" We literally saw Madara ripped a man's eye out of its socket, force it into his own and THEN IT WORKED LIKE A NORMAL EYE. That alone renders that part of your statement irrelevant to the discussion, not to mention Kabuto was putting blood from multiple DNA types in himself with no repercussions. Madara was also able to do it in the middle of now he.

You're reaching my friend. Assuming the average Uchiha could and did implant enough senju DNA to meet the requirement is more unbelievable than Kishi retconning the whole situation in order to add depth to the Uchiha story.

More simply, Izanagi and Izanami are two halves of the same jutsu. To say Izanagi requires Senju DNA while Izamani does not makes no sense. Its either one or the other and since the Izamani explanation took place after Izanagi, then its clear it was retconned to allow all Uchiha to use it.

Once again. Kabuto transplanted DNA by putting flesh into a blender, then injecting the blood into his veins. Madara had sufficient DNA from a bite to unlock Rinnegan. Madara TORE A MAN'S EYE OUT AND POPPED IT INTO HIS OWN SKULL A SECOND LATER AND IT FUNCTIONED. Your suspension of disbelief is filled with denial.

Madara got Hashirama's flesh during their fight, he bite it off as BZ shows Naruto and Sasuke here then after using Izanagi he threw it up to implant it . All MS/EMS do is allow you to use the jutsu after a certain amount of time such as Itachi's Amaterasu gift to Sasuke .

It's not a retcon, it's plot hole. Obito explained how Izanagi right before the war started, doesn't make sense to retcon it during the war. We even have BZ telling Naruto and Sasuke how Madara bit off flesh from Hashirama during their fight, used a delayed Izanagi, then threw up the flesh to implant it . Kishi didn't have a way Sasuke and Itachi could have beat Kabuto so BS his way threw it; do you know how easy Kabuto could have won? Coffin up Edo Madara, Edo Jinchuurikis, Edo Chiyo, and Edo Kimimaru then undo Edo Tensei to neg diff Edo Itachi who also disappeared after he had Kabuto undo the jutsu; then white noise or Tayuya's sound genjutsu finishes Sasuke.

Kabuto only joined the war to get Sasuke yet Kishi didn't make Kabuto do the easiest thing in the world to get what he wanted. Even the chakra gates are plot lol

Madara made Izanagi activate after a certain period because he wanted people to believe that he was dead. Not because it had to.

Once again, you concentrate too much on how they might have cultivated the DNA. You are the one in denial if you believe its logical for Izanagi to require Senju DNA but Izamani does not. Think about it logically and you'd realize that either both require it or neither do. Kishi retconned it.
