You are WRONG. Rasenshuriken has taken out 2 paths of pain. Kazuku. In the movies it took out the guy with 4 bloodline limits. So yea you lost ALL credibility by saying that

Last time I checked it only took down one path and no it didn't kill Kakuzu. Kakashi did that and the movies are filler, so just keep them out of this discussion.

You lost all credibility by bringing non canon movies into this.

Lol Rasenshuriken packs more damage than Amaterasu any day.

That's great to hear, although it has nothing to do with this discussion.

despite the description of Amaterasu, it has been blocked before, dodged before, and can be seal like all chakra based long term damaging jutsu.

It's never been blocked, only avoided. *Waiting for you to say Gaara blocked it*

And yes it can be sealed, but that's not happening during battle.

Sasuke used a special substitution that sheds his own skin, Oro's tech. Bee traveled to the end of one of his tail's that wasn't on fire to avoid it. It wasn't a simple substitution.

It is kind of confusing on the converging or traveling aspect of Amaterasu but I think that it goes wherever the eye focuses. It was focused on A but when he moved, Sasuke's focus went to the samurai, so it jumped to him. Just like it did when Sasuke was moving around when he was fighting Itachi. It appears at the initial spot of focus and then travels if that spot changes.

Kakashi destroyed a heart, Naruto finished Kakuza with Rasenshuriken. It also did take out two paths, it expanded when they thought they dodged it.

*Sigh* yes Naruto took down Kakuzu, but he didn't KILL him. Kakashi ended up doing that as shown here.

It doesn't change the fact that he DIDN'T die from rasenshuriken. He was killed by Kakashi's raikiri.

Also 1 path yes i forgot. I was just saying rasen has done alot more than Amer.

Taking down one path is hardly A LOT more than amaterasu.

The Amaterasu, is no way overated. its juss used on ninja that are HIGH in skill level. And the only way to doge is to be as fast as A or faster . OR Subsituition Jutsu.U_U

The two paths thing, I was referring to the anime (confused it with manga, my bad). May have done the same with Kakuza bit, although I'm not sure. But, by the looks of it, Kakuza was going to die anyway.

Ive another thread in mind therefore ill rectify the amaterasu confusion in another thread, will however say that it ignites whatever the eye focuses on As stated by Zetsu and backed by C;

Further backed by the SFX: Appearing;

Amaterasu doesnt travel. Once the user's eye is focused on the opponent it appears

Amaterasu has been sensed twice ironically by both people who knew itachi fairly well, but more importantly both were sensors, yes zetsu and nagato are sensors.

Anyway i agree amaterasu is overrated but the reason why its overrated is because its a deadly technique as described by the databook, Zetsu and Kabuto.

DB;
Amaterasu

User(s): Uchiha Itachi
Rank: -
TNG: Ninjutsu (Bloodline Limit)
Range: Close
Type: Attack

Description:
"The ones reflected in these eyes turn to ash!! A black world-destroying
conflagration that scorches all on heaven and earth!!"

The Uchiha clan, originally significant as "those with the fans which manipulate
fire", traditionally specialize in Katon jutsu, but there is a legendary jutsu
unknown outside the clan. This is "Amaterasu". The appearance of these flames are jet-black. The high temperature is like the sun, and one time touching it is the last. It is said that this is named after the Goddess of the Sun as it continues to burn for seven days and seven nights. However, the Mangekyou Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, and for this reason there are not many who have learned this jutsu. Therefore, the details of this jutsu are yet unrevealed...

Third Databook, page 289

Hyped by zetsu who called it the most powerful physical attack;

Hyped again, this time by kabuto who called it the best attack;

The reason why amaterasu is one of the best attacks is rather simply. Firstly it has no nature weaknesses. This is in relation to nature affiliation. Not even water will put it out. Secondly it burns for 7 days. Majority if not all jutsu's are used on a target once and its gone. With amaterasu it consistently burns the opponent for 7 days, unless they dispatch the area that amaterasu has hit otherwise they are a goner. Thirdly its not speed that is needed to evade amaterasu and this topic confirms that people dont understand the difference between speed and reaction time. Its reaction time and not speed that is needed to evade amaterasu, ill give you an example.

Usain Bolts is the fastest man on earth. If you watch the 100m often you'd see that he has hardly ever the first person to react to the gun. People alot slower than him have better reaction time and get out of the blocks alot quicker than him. Tyson Gay and Powell, usually react to the gun and get out of the blocks alot faster than usain bolts. They have the better reaction time, but bolts is the fastest.

Basically Gay or Powell have a better chance to evade amaterasu than Bolts if we were to make this an irl situation. Its reaction time and not speed. Do however believe that Minato possibly has the reaction time to evade amaterasu if he is looking into an uchiha's eyes like what A did.

Yawn. just woke up , saw this thread, wasn't even going to bother, If by now after 500 + chapters. people don't see that amaterasu is almost instant then idk

We have kabuto using his Jutsu, then sasuke following up with an amaterasu BEFORE a speed enhanced sage mode user even reaches over to them
note kabuto starts coming to them before,then stops and backs off once it's uses

No it is not overrated

No one can dodge it raikage got lucky

Minato doesn't have reflexes cause he just dodged raikage punch
Naruto doesn't have reflexes cause he just dodged raikage punch

Amaterasu can one shot anyone .Naruto will get one shotted in his fight with sasuke and the show will become amaterasu shipudden. U_U

:sy::sy:

OKay

you cant really use the killer bee example where he prepared for it, nagato felt the pressure and yelled out to them what itachi was about to do

If the Raikage dodged Amaterasu then why did his arm have to get cut off?

Art thou mad?

Gaara can't block amaterasu...
sensors with speed can avoid it

Neji? sigh, what part of neji is a sensor or has speed and reflexes to dodge it?


Naruto = yes he can sense danger

A- yes heightened reflexes

killer bee - No
kakashi -no
