So, I still see various people claim that Itachi is still superior to Sasuke, which I find baffling. I'm not saying Sasuke stomps or anything, but the likelihood of Itachi winning is very low. Let me explain;
Beginning with Tsukuyomi. Hebi Sasuke was able to overcome and subsequently break Itachi's Tsukuyomi; clearly, EMS Sasuke does this with ease. All other genjutsus become fodder in the face of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. There's one of Itachi's major one hit jutsus rendered totally useless.
Amaterasu simply isn't hurting someone who can manipulate the black flames to such a high level as Sasuke can; he is effortlessly able to both put out the flames and
Sasuke's Susanoo is leagues ahead of Itachi's interms of versatility. He's able to erect
With Sasuke's usual Enton spam,
I can't believe i'm saying this, but Sasuke has genjutsu
Of course, Itachi would still maintain a way of winning this match via Izanami, but considering Sasuke has full knowledge on this jutsu's inner workings and its requirements, there is a very low chance of him actually getting caught by it. Izanami requires shared physical sensation - what are the chances of this happening when Sasuke immediately spams his Susanoo (Which has been very typical of his recent fighting style)?
Anyhow, this is pretty much my take on things. Sasuke is the overwhelming favourite in my eyes, practically everything is in his favour. Itachi fans who still cling to the notion that Sasuke still couldn't beat him sound as bad as Minato fans who still believe he could beat Bijuu Mode Naruto.

almost instantly, while Itachi's, as we know, takes a while to go through the particular layers. Let's not be under any illusion here; Itachi will be forced to resort to Susanoo in order to stay alive against EMS Sasuke. None of Itachi's weapons are capable of piercing Sasuke's armoured Susanoo, Totsuka Blade included. Sasuke also has his own Susanoo sword and shield, both completely consisting of Amaterasu. Furthermore, MS Susanoos put great stress on the user's body and are not able to be spammed for long periods of time; EMS Susanoo's can be held with practically no pain or chakra drainage. Sasuke easily outlasts Itachi in a battle between Susanoos. A battle of attrition is possibly the worst possible situation you could place Itachi in, considering he suffers from below average chakra reserves and poor health. Sasuke was

and Katon based techniques). Taijutsu remains a non-factor with Susanoo involved. Stamina is not even a debatable topic considering Sasuke stomps, hard. Sasuke also wins interms of versatility. Perhaps the only thing which Itachi still holds over Sasuke is intelligence, which I hardly look at considering Sasuke is a genius himself.Of course, Itachi would still maintain a way of winning this match via Izanami, but considering Sasuke has full knowledge on this jutsu's inner workings and its requirements, there is a very low chance of him actually getting caught by it.
