I think the hardest part about itachi fights are that the vast majority of the cast has no anti-genjutsu feats, so you either have to give itachi the win by default or just sort of headcanon counters or assume every character knows how to fight without looking at itachi's eyes.
@@NarutosRasengan5ngl these days he’s not yeah I know how that’s sounds we got dudes saying minato can beat rinnegan sasuke and that Jiraiya is stronger than killer and pain and can beat kaguya
Not gonna lie, no glazing, but you're the BEST Naruto powescaler on youtube currently. You actually look into the character not just feats like 90% of idiots do but narrative and etc. I also think edo itachi > ems Sasuke before legged susano, totsuka blade in yata mirror are just better then the arrow and both have relative jutsu and but its close never than less.
Reading the conversion Itachi has with Obito makes it pretty clear that Itachi and Obito are relative at that point. The fact that Kishimoto supervises this and approves of it is also more than enough to consider it as good supplementary material. Itachi kinda wants the smoke with the guy, I was taken aback reading it and also watching this video. He seems to be certain he has a way of defeating Obito. Perhaps later on Obito takes the edge because Itachi's illness was a huge nerf. Where he lacks in stamina, he makes up for in intelligence. A fight between the two would definitely be close
Listen man some people glaze Kakashi (me, sage) some people glaze Minato and itachi (virhtue, tg) and some very odd people even glaze hebi sasuke (loko) but at the end of the day we all love this show equally so let us glaze in peace 🙏
Exactly! Everyone has their favorite characters, everyone glazes some characters while lowballing others, everyone has their own preferences and views of the story and that's completely fine. This applies to every anime/manga/show/piece of fiction. I think if the anime community as a whole came to this conclusion and just accepted that everyone can have their favorites and their own views, we'd be a lot more chill.
@@Virhtue Man I love you I hope when u become tooo big u wonts stop interacting with comments that stick out, I love your itachi videos u are one of. the only few UA-camrs that understands the character. u forgot to mention how his shuriken jutsu took out all of those summons and jiraiya couldn't. deal with them, and. that nchammer guy seems to think jiraiya and nagato are beating itachi. I however think he doest not surpass obito a the only reason is because he tells sasuke when he gets his eyes he. will surpass obito and called obito his mentor. also he says only people with thesame kekkei genkai can break out of tsukuyomi.. I think people downplay his awareness and intelligence , the fact is no matter who u are itachi always has a chance of killing u even aliens with that totsuka blade, I think he scales up to Kcm 2 cos watching that kabuto fight he does 70% of the work and still able to react. I think. the say. sasuke. surpasses itachi only in eye powers when exactly is he stronger I would say full Susan as at one point zest says u are even more slower than on the uptake than itachi. sasuke still cannot break through a Susano with a yata mirror and itachi has a sealing con. why is the naruto community think genjutsu could work on minato and not hashirama ?itachis hit in less than a second but madras is being broken by ohnoki on the raikage. was itachi serious when he said only people with same kekke genkai can break thru tsukuyomi cuz sasuke did not break it as obito says u couldn't see through any of the illusions he created
I really like the point you made about EMS Sasuke and Itachi being equal in the narrative. I also like your comparison of sage Jiraya and Hydra Orochimaru. I think you also did a good job explaining a potential perspective of photo being worried of or afraid of a fight with Itachi. I think that not many people make that argument. I think Nagato, Obito, and Itachi are a difficult trio to compare. Good video.
Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷🏻♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat, is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷🏻♂️ ☯️
Itachi has jutsu, strength, and taijutsu feats and statements that people ignore. Itachi was a legend AS A KID before he awakened his sharingan. Yet fools say that he's fodder without it 🤦♂ I thought that I was the only one saying this but he's like Goku and Rengoku in the sense that some people overrated him on instagram posts for clocks and now he's overhated and downplayed. The fact that alive Itachi is above MS Sasuke, Kisame, Bee and Ay says enough. If he was a hax only one trick pony then it would be stated blantantly like Danzo or fodder movie characters. People ignore the fact that a lot of characters scale to their hax. People stronger than Itachi is not losing to him with his Tsukuyomi and people weaker isn't beating him without it. That's literally how it goes.
The third databook actually calls the Mangekyo sharingan itself(pointing to itachis eyes) as the strongest dojutsu with further mastery(which forms susanoo) helps to enter the realm of gods. So he is going beyond the strongest dojutsu even by chapter 402 but potentially beyond. The fanbook statement is actually talking about the susanoo itself as the ultimate absolute defense as sasuke is also a listed user. So even without spirit weapons it is the ultimate absolute defense something reiterated in road to ninjas guidebook. This all is consistent with, the same fanbook in narration of sasukes story just says itachis power surpasses everything which covers till the kage summit. Zetsu describes him with spirit weapons as completely invincible. Even the quiz book which is relased after chapter 700 still says the shield repels everything that attacks caster so the true limits of the spirit weapons are unknown so far. Also itachi did go into a higher susanoo form for yasaka. Fourth databook even says he needs to go into that form to activate yasaka. Yasaka is his strongest long range ninjutsu although amaterasu is described as a short range technique. So amaterasu might be >yasaka as kabuto still considers it the greatest attack after everything that happened in that fight.
The amount of people I’ve been seen say that itachi loses to bad jiriya is insane it’s like there’s this weird thing with the scaling in the Naruto community where you either highball the hell out of someone or lowball them like crazy
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc no he couldn’t. Yes itachi is on a different tier. They are not equals. Itachi has fought and beaten guys way above Jiraiyas lvl there is no reason to considered them equal in shape form or fashion.
Hey virtue, this is totally off topic, but how do you think the sannin scale in relation to the 4th Raikage? I've been in a debate with someone on Orochimaru vs 4th Raikage and I think the Narrative supports the Sannin and Hiruzen > The other Kage. Thoughts?
Itachi IS underrated. I have studied his moves from every single episode of his appearance, also the ultimate ninja games. His speed is incredible and his chakra control is on par with the hokages. He can outmatch any opponent physically and has hax moves. Unless you are madara or hashirama you are not beating him 1v1.
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc If we are talking Part 1 Itachi where he was in perfect condition. Then yes, he can definitely defeat Pain. Granted it will be a tough fight.
Yes, that powerscaling analyzing the fine fiend of empirical and narrative evidence to come to the most likely conclusion of how strong a character was intended to be
37:44 yes i see. sheer coincidence leads Naruto to an unexpected enemy. that unexpected enemy is Itachi. 39:12 GREAT video. i believe you have firmly proven Itachi to be the force to be reckoned with, that he was always meant to be. now there's something i'm confused about. the Edo Itachi section. my understanding was, Edo Tensei revived someone at the point of death. but Kabuto could later work on them. using their cells or soul directly. to me, it would make sense that he work on both Itachi and Nagato. he brought Itachi back without disease or blindness, and Nagato back with the Rinnegan. and the reason his wouldn't give Nagato his physical strength back is because he knew it would be unnecessary. since at any point he could just take over his body directly, absorb chakra via the Preta Path, and return his physical strength that way. which is exactly what he does. so i think the reason he didn't use his spirit weapons in version 2 Susanoo is because he didn't think it was necessary. not because he lacked mastery. and the reason he used them in version 3 to seal away Nagato, was because he found it necessary due to the extra range and power provided by the version 3 Susanoo. not due to lack of mastery. i do believe this is consistent, and doesn't undermine your scaling nor the story. iirc, Kabuto said Madara was the only Edo Tensei he worked on extensively. key word being **extensively.** this doesn't mean he didn't work on any others. he knew that Madara was his ace, so of course it makes sense that he would work on him and his body the most. now if none of this is true, it's true in my head-canon. but i'm still open to hearing your thoughts, if you even come across this comment at all.
I've always thought he was in a tier with the likes of nagato, pain, obito, minato and so on because of his hax. I think the fight against minato is much more close than ppl tend to think because of itachi's abillity to deflect minato's kunai with his own, making it significantly harder for minato to teleport in the way he would want to. Great vid as always.
😂 I feel like the major problem is when talking about itachi in versus battles To make things interesting they subconsciously cut out how unavoidable and lethal his genjutsu is And downplay the other MS techniques and his stats to make it even remotely possible for his opponent
Nagato is THE character who should be glazed he was so op kishi first crippled him and then divided his ability into six different people because all six paths in one body would be insane then nerfed him even more through kabuto being an idiot and never using nagato to his fullest potential
Cap. Kabuto was better with Nagatos abilities than Nagato was. Bro got hit with amaterasu and didn't know what to do until Kabuto took over. He was also pretty dumb at combat and fell for actually every single trick used against him by every one he fought from Kakashi to Konohamaru. Konahamaru would never catch Itachi lacking.
@Bao-fh7lb bro ran out of arguments 😂 everyone who's fought pain has outsmarted him. He just used his power to make up the difference. Bro , of konohamaru can cook against pain .....let's get real now
@uspahle it's true though. Dude is a power house but stupid. How is it someone who never had the Rin, or even likely saw it in action was better with it than someone who had it his whole life?
@@Virhtue really cool seeing you engage with your community as much as you do. It’s really refreshing. Not the best at articulating my thoughts relating to power scaling but I just fail to see how Itachi requesting bee and Naruto’s help in destroying the CT can be interpreted in any way other than he needed their help. Claiming anything other than that is a massive reach that I don’t think has any grounds to stand on. That’s definitely not what the author was trying to convey by having 3 people throw their strongest jutsu at the sphere.
@@Virhtue a problem I run into with all of these videos and discussions is everything people see or hear being interpreted hyper literally. People will cherry pick what feats they want to apply along with claims that take literal mental gymnastics to rationalize onto their takes. Whatever suits your narrative at the end of the day I guess. Interpreting the material differently is fine but it becomes ridiculous when these statements and showings are made out to be so much more than they are.
I don't know whether Itachi would have been able to defeat a later Obito, and if so it's more likely because Itachi simply has a high level of combat intelligence that many people seem to underestimate. Because I think Itachi is not only damn strong, but he is also someone who can quickly read his opponents and quickly find solutions, just like Minato. And that is a disadvantage for every opponent. And I personally think that it's not just skills that are crucial, but also combat intelligence. And Itachi simply has both at the highest level. And I agree, first of all, Itachi wasn't 100% healthy later and also that he never fought with a killer instinct and therefore never went all out in fights. And despite the fact that he never used all of his power, he quickly made it clear to very strong opponents who was the boss. And many big names only had respectful words for him, which says enough to know that Itachi was ultra strong. In any case, I wouldn't underestimate Itachi no matter who the opponent is...that would be a mistake
Kisame said Itachi is stronger than him. I don't believe he is stronger than the combination of Pains but he is stronger than Nagato, Obito, Kakuzu, Kisame, Gokage, Sasuke, Sannin, Bee, and 7 Swordsmen of the Mist. Prime Madara and Tobirama is 50/50 Peak Madara(Edo), Hokage 1/3/4, Naruto, and Dms Kakashi would beat him.
Danzō's consistent praise of Itachi is partially a farce to place Itachi in a position for him to use him to self-destruct the Uchiha, so it might not be able to be taken as entirely legitimate. Though he did honestly respect him, it is questionable if he really saw him as more talented as Hiruzen or Kakashi when they graduated, for example. The link betwixt Sasuke to Sasori is a bit dubious given Sakura could have been potentially mentally amplified against Sasori, and mentally supressed against Sasuke, in addition to Sasori underestimating/holding back against Sakura at points, whilst he likely fought more seriously against Sandaime Kazekage. The second Amaterasu might just be a fireball tracking his line of sight. Essentially he makes one ball of fire which is then dragged along by his focal point (so yes, it could likely scorch an entire line). Further impressive, then, when one realizes it likely would have been easier to hit Sasuke if he were not specifically aiming for his wing. Itachi had more than just the ribcage. Parts of the skeleton were starting to form which would be a slightly higher stage of development than Sasuke's against the Raikage. The comparison to the Earth Spear seems disingenuous when it is noted it was primarily pierced by Kakashi due to an elemental disadvantage. Sasuke is noted to have superior dōjutsu to Itachi after gaining Eternal Mangekyō, so his Amaterasu (a sort of dōjutsu) might surpass Itachi's Susanoo (unclear if Amaterasu gets stronger with the user or not, but is a line one could use). That Itachi was beating the >Sannin Orochimaru to a greater degree than Pain was beating a >Sannin Jiraiya could just indicate that Jiraiya's >Sannin boost is greater than Orochimaru's, Pain was holding back (imagine if he just attacked with all six paths at once), or so on. There is not exactly a comparison betwixt the >Sannin incarnations of the Sannin, aside from the fact they have all interesting/strange powers, so they might not be equal, anymore. To add consistency, Orochimaru is still seeking out Sage Mode even after the Fourth Shinobi World War, with him praising Mitsuki as having power beyond himself, later revealing that power is Sage Mode/Transformation. Id est, the Jiraiya, Pain, Itachi, Orochimaru comparison does not exactly paint Itachi > Pain, off of itself, inherently. The Mangekyō does not give Itachi more chakra. It allows him to pour out more chakra for jutsu/genjutsu, and also drains more passively, so really it gives him less. Two genjutsu (one not even from the Sharingan) and a single Fireball from a 30% clone is quite reasonable, going off of the manga alone. He was not really beating Kakashi, either. Itachi did not use the Phoenix Sage Fire against B. He used the Phoenix Sage Flower Crimson Nail, which is more advanced. 19:35 Itachi is literally sweating on the right page being shown here, with him noting he is exhausted and will need to rest his body... So using two Mangekyō was his limit (he could have killed Jiraiya without Mangekyō at all, though, of course). Naruto Jinraiden lines up fine with canon, though it is a bit vague on how Itachi took it the medication, given Sasuke's usage of the eyedrops was more for his developing Mangekyō rather than any illness. The events of Naruto Jinraiden are also referenced in Kakashi Hiden, which itself ties into the canon version of the Blood Prison seen in the Boruto anime and mentioned in the Boruto manga, the introduction of the airships seen commonly in the New Era, and the introduction of Kakashi's Shiden (Purple Lightning) which is seen used by him in the anime, and by Mitsuki and Boruto in the manga. It is possible the Edo Tensei just restored some of the physical damage to Itachi's body, similarly to Kimimaro, instead of pulling him back in time for his revival. Same result, though. I think he just wanted/felt he needed to use the Armored Susanoo against Nagato when he had unlimited stamina rather than being arbitrarily weaker... Itachi needed to blind Nagato's peripheral vision, first, suggesting Nagato would have reacted if he saw Itachi coming, indicating Itachi is not substantially faster otherwise. The humanoid Susanoo is more developed than the skeletal Susanoo, and it is not said each shinobi contributed a third. If Naruto and B are 90%, the Chibaku is 100%, Itachi could be 10%, even if with four magatama he is closer to 15% (not concrete numbers, but the point stands it is not really known for certain). As said previously, Sasuke is actually said to surpass Itachi's genjutsu and dōjutsu, but as noted by Zetsu, Itachi is more intelligent, so his quick-thinking might even it out with snap decisions. The Zetsu on Sasuke are not enhancing him. They are spores for watching him. Even if they were enhancing him, Sasuke got much stronger even without them due to his growing hatred, when he was already possessing superior dōjutsu to Itachi beforehand. If Sasuke is stronger than Itachi, the scaling to Naruto is not really valid for Itachi. And, in relation to fighting a weakened Kyūbi Mode, Itachi going into Mangekyō would not have made him stronger. Shisui only said it could pour out more chakra for jutsu, not that it literally multiplies the user's chakra, and further, Jigen noted Sasuke was going all out when he still had three-tomoe Sharingan, substantiating it is not a power-up. Not relevant to the point, but in relation to Itachi Shinden expanding on a manga scene, Naruto Jinraiden does that as well, both with Obito and Sasuke conversing in the Mountains Graveyard shortly before Sasuke leaves, and also the scene upon the cliffside that Sasuke renames Hebi into Taka, under. So if Jinraiden is dubiously not canon, by that logic, neither should Shinden. That Obito saw Itachi as an opponent does not mean they were close. There can be unequal opponents. Obito also had utilitarian reasons to honour his agreement. By keeping to his word, he got to use Itachi as an asset for many years to, for example, help with the sealing of the bijū, and was also getting ready to get Sasuke to replace Itachi. All he had to do was wait for Itachi to die, which he knew was going to happen anyway, and Konoha needs to be targeted last, regardless, since Kurama is the last to be sealed. Conversely, if he did make Itachi an enemy, and even if he killed him, he would lose him as an asset prematurely and might not get Sasuke as a replacement. Ergo, Konoha not being "off limits" could jsut mean the pact has run its course for his own benefit, rather than Itachi being able to actually stop him. Konan almost killed Obito with abilities far beyond her regular means, and if she knew about Izanagi, could have possibly actually killed him, but it does not mean she scales to him normally, and the same logic can apply to Itachi. In turn, does not really mean Itachi is inherently stronger than Pain (I think Itachi would beat Pain, but I think he would be forced to use up at least one eye altogether.) One of the Storm games (at least, I think it is a Storm game) insinuates Itachi was forced to retreat from Jiraiya, so they are not exactly reliable in that sense. Tsukuyomi's description is contingent on the target actually being caught/dragged in, which Obito would likely not succumb into to begin with, and the spirit weapons would likely not be able to find their mark on Obito, either, who can also lacks physical form/can vanish even faster than Dust Release can explode. If Kishimoto did write the weekly statements, I think it was intentionally ambiguous to lead to a three-way deadlock betwixt the three dōjutsu users of the Akatsuki. Even if it was explicitly referring to Pain, though, in that context, I think it could be referring to raw power instead of the typical definition of power in Naruto, being combat ability, (Pain can withstand two Rinnegan, which even Obito cannot), so it does not really say Pain is more combatively viable in that interpretation, either way. I think Itachi is in contention for second strongest in the Akatsuki after Obito, and just about even to some version of Kyūbi Mode, but I think he caps out near there. Minato is stated to be stronger than him and everyone else in Part I, for example, and even with revelations of Itachi's true power in Part II, I feel that comparison still holds. Definitely above the >Sannin tier and in turn the 1% of the shinobi world, though.
The only reason Itachi does as well as he does against kabuto is because he is an edo. If you put him at gis peak alive dude has two Tsykumoi's and two amaterasu's with some susanno use before he just goes blind. Its just a waiting game to out last his eyes which is relatively easy if you scale to him physically like Obito does
@@jiero3253 YOU DO KNOW, he had to hold back not to kill kabuto. He even tells Sasuke not to and blocks one of his moves in the beginning. That fight would end much quicker. And again, itachi stamina is downplayed. He used (spammed) Amaterasu, sussanoo, and tsukoyomi on Sasuke and still was walking up on him in the end enough to do his signature move in Sasuke.
@@shadowuchiha4311 so did kabuto to put Itachi back under his control, what's your point. Sasuke and Itachi could have killed him but let's not act like the white extreme attack wouldn't have ended that fight if Itachi was alive. His stamina is pretty cheeks. He didn't spam his ms abilities against Sasuke he used them a total of 3 times. Two amaterasu's and a single Tskuyomi attempt before going fully blind that's it
@@jiero3253 He literally spammed it over the hide out so he used the shit more than three times. And it was that on top of the sussanno. With the fucking totsuka blade and yata mirror. As far as kabuto is concerned, he literally was trying to talk kabuto down before even attempting the izanami for one. And two, he was trying to redo the edo tensei, which did not need or cause for him to hold back on killing him. Because he would just come back to life. The person kabuto was holding back on was actually Sasuke, because then he would be breaking the deal. And itachi would have reacted differently had they been trying to kill him, on top of itachi saving sasuke plenty of times.
The fundamental problem is that the rules for Mangekyō Sharingan and ESPECIALLY Susano’o (including the unique Spirit Weapons on Itachi’s Susano’o) were never really set in stone. Specifically, due to inconsistent sizing on the Susano’o and the lack of clear guidelines on it (as well as the things that various Susano’o canonically fought against), it follows that characters’ power levels at various stages of Susano’o development and with various tiers of dojutsu make no sense. Basically Itachi’s Armored Susano’o was drawn too small (especially as we now know the purpose of the forehead jewel on the Armored and Perfect Susano’o (to house the user), and we know that the Perfect Susano’o is basically the Armored Susano’o but with its chakra stabilized). Basically the heights for Armored and Perfect Susano’o should be the same, but with the Armored Susano’o being bulkier and using its larger secondary arms (which transform into wings on the Perfect Susano’o)-and while this doesn’t fit with how Itachi’s Susano’o was drawn in certain frames (or how Susano’o was originally depicted in general), it DOES make sense if we assume that each of the 8 snakes of Orochimaru’s 8-Headed Hydra form is the size of Manda/Aoda (this would also more closely match the intent behind Orochimaru having this form, as it is his equivalent to Sage Jiraiya with ALL of Mount Myoboku backing him and would imply him to be at least as powerful as said version of Jiraiya). Given that Itachi’s Armored Susano’o is supposed to be relatively similar in size to the 8-Headed Hydra, it follows that if each of the 8 heads of the hydra is the size of Manda’s (and if the forehead jewel is supposed to house the user), then Itachi’s Armored Susano’o would be roughly the same height as your STANDARD Perfect Susano’o, at about 135-180 meters tall (Edo Madara’s being larger makes sense due to the Hashirama Cells in his body as well as Edo Tenseis having infinite chakra, however EMS Madara’s doesn’t really make sense given that while EMS may lower the chakra cost, it would not lower it by enough to justify a 10x size increase, as seen with EMS Sasuke). Basically if I were to scale the Susano’o and make rules for Armored and Perfect Susano’o sizes, here is what I would do (as standard): With MS/EMS: 170m (to top of head) With 6 Tomoe Rinnegan (x1): 340m (to top of head) With Rinnegan (x2): 680m (to top of head) With Rinnegan+Senjutsu or 6 Tomoe Rinnegan (x2): 1360m (to top of head) With 9 Tomoe Rinnesharingan (x1): 5440m (to top of head) With 9 Tomoe Rinnesharingan (x2): 21760m (to top of head) Note: This only applies for the original user’s Susano’o (and said user can create a smaller Armored/Perfect Susano’o). If the user can create Shadow/Wood/Limbo Clones, then said clones can theoretically create their own Susano’o, albeit at smaller sizes.
@@Virhtue thanks for replying man.I appreciate the discussion you have with us in the comments to as well as the video. I still have a legitimately hard time saying who wins when it comes to Pain vs Itachi. Itachi has insane edo feats, but Kabuto just didn’t use Nagito as well as Nagito would’ve. This muddies the waters and makes it hard to tell what is Nagito’s upper limits. Oh, and my usual disagreement with the Sasuke perception blitzing Sakura and Naruto lol. Let me try to explain my reasoning better though. I don’t disagree that it was a blitz and Sasuke is faster than them. I just think it’s important to realize the context of everything. Sakura and Naruto. Physically and mentally fatigued because of the nine tails. Furthermore, the two of them were under significant psychological stress from seeing this Sasuke. Imagine seeing your childhood friend and not being able to recognize him anymore, or get through to him. It’s because of all this that I don’t think either of them were able to properly perceive things. So this makes the conclusion that Sasuke could blitz other akatsuki members shaky. He could overwhelm them with his speed and put them on the back foot, but they would be able to react a bit and overcome the speed disadvantage with distance and numbers. Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol. Seriously though if anyone reads this, I thank you for your time.
Never understood this take. Bro u realize he wanted obito dead, knew that obito would try to manipulate sasuke and besides just killing obito like y’all claim he can, he instead chose to gamble on a trap that FAILS that leads to sasuke finding out the truth of itachi which itachi dedicated his LIFE to hiding from sasuke and in turn caused sasuke to be manipulated by obito? If he could kill obito 1. I doubt he would’ve failed to off guard obito and 2. He would have no reason to straight up not kill obito who’s the biggest threat to the leaf/world and a threat to sasuke, itachi even made sure to lure orochimaru out and “kill” him before dying to sasuke but chooses not to face obito head on.
W vid. My goat is the greatest uchiha prodigy who ever lived and didnt need help from anyone else outside of grinding with shisui. If the narrative and his role were different he’d have been hokage someday.
On top of this I never seen someone say itachi is weaker than kakashi bc itachi was clearly holding back bc his whole plot was to protect the leaf and to make sasuke stronger and kakashi was the only one to do it and orochimaru that’s why itachi didn’t kill someone who committed treason he knew what his plans was. Common sense if he couldn’t get itachis body the closes person is sasuke who was weaker at the time
Amateratsu was made a joke later in the series, but originally it was beyond busted. Itachi originally had the ability to blink away whatever with the jutsu. After its very first use it was never used to the same way again. It had to get nerfed. The Ultimate Ninja game series showcases the jutsu with its original capabilities intact.
@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc except there's clear differences in its capabilities from its original use. Currently it burns (if it can), Spawns fire Previously it incinerates You've never seen Sasuke look at someone and vaporize them, Itachi vaporized a hole in that fire toads stomach when it was first used. I suggest checking out Itachi jutsu in the Ultimate Ninja series games, Amateratsu was never used the same way again in the anime.
@@Cloke100 Why would I care about a game? The manga and anime is enough. A game may not be accurate. Also the toad stomach was still he had time to focus on there. Same when Sasuke burnt some Zetsu
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc Welp fill free to do whatever you want, the discrepancies are there. It's not the same but you do you, you say the manga and anime are enough but here we are. Amaterasu isn't capable of incinerating like it was originally; a nerf. Sasuke never repeated the same feat because the jutsu was changed.
@@Virhtue bare with me this finna get long(ima break it into parts to make it more readable so just so you know this comment is no where near as long as it looks). well obito has better feats in general being able to hold off kcm naruto, killer bee, kakashi, and guy at the same time(while protecting the geto statue not even actually trying to beat them).he’s also more experienced. The biggest reason however is the fact that kamui is a direct counter to everything itachi has in his bag. The susanoo and the special sealing blade he has is useless against obito since he can phase through it. We already know obito can just absorb amatarasu with kamui. He can summon the geto statue to help him jump itachi if he wants. His special zetsu arm makes him physically stronger then itachi. He is most likely faster cuz of kamui. His reaction speed is obviously better, even tho obito only has one eye his singular eye has better vision then itachi’s two eyes cuz of sharingon strain. And without prep time i cant see itachi really doing anything to him. Obito also has hashirama cells, meaning despite it being inconsistent we know he can use wood style and heal himself whenever he wants and we have seen him do both these things a few times Now for Tsukyomi Obito is also a high genjutsu specialist in his own right him being able to break a tsukyomei isn’t far fetched. But since we have no evidence he can just do that ima propose a different alternative incase he cant do that. He can use his borrowed sharingon and use izanagi to escape instantly if he really cant break tsukyomei and kill itachi before itachi can counter with his own izanagi Taking all these things in consideration i believe obito would win especially since he has knows everything abt itachi while itachi knows really nothing abt him besides kamui. In other words obitos feats, statements and scaling surpass itachi but more importantly he out scales him greatly in hax and combat experience
@@Virhtuewhy would obito fight itachi when he’s the 2nd strongest member on his team? The entire point of the akastuki is to form a powerful team of rogue Shinobi rogue meaning they betrayed or were banised from their village so he knows they have their own true motives but still uses them towards the benefit of the plan. Itachi is no different especially when obito knows itachi is going to die soon and the way he dies will grant him sasuke as a replacement. So he used itachi, collects the other tailed beast and waits until itachis dead then when itachi does die he literally says “everything is going according to plan” uses the way he dies to tell the truth of his death to manipulate sasuke, gains sasuke as a replacement and sets up the war to get the last two tailed beast. Even when edo itachi found out how things played out he says “so Madara knew everything about me all along” Obviously itachi wasn’t a lap dog but that’s obito being a mastermind and using everyone he can ur twisting this out to be out of fear as if he wasn’t shown edo itachi and 4 others and showed no fear, as if he hasn’t faced stronger characters than itachi. It really just doesn’t mean sense.
@@dc5855i respect your opinion,but i never see OM obito throwing hands with someone he only use kamui to counter and escape, WM obito is my fav who fought against those 3, but kamui also has weakness and itachi is expert in finding justs's weaknesses like when he fought against edo nagato he find the weak spot of shinra tensie.. his powers are not as deadly as his biq he can use his crow style clones to counter kamui like he can use his explosive clones in obito's face so that he can land a hit while obito use kamui..but it's just my assumption obito's chances of winning are high i would say if they fight 10times the the score will be 2/10 for itachi.
underated? Bro most fans say in the O.G series, he only loses to Madara, Hashirama, Naruto, Sasuke, Kaguya, and maaaaybe Minato, Kabuto, Nagato/Pein.. (Heck, people think he speedblitzes Nagato/pein) They say he wins most matches, and and outside that list beats even the kage in a one on one to one on FIVE.
listen its natural if you wanna glaze your characters. like i glaze minato and sasuke like crazy others glaze itachi and pain aslong as they can atleast back up their points i got no complaints
Even in terms of development, i think when people started seeing how there's multiples well written characters in naruto they started forgetting about itachi too much
Itachi is popp because he is a sick person there is nothing else to it,point is at his prime was when he fought sasuke,meaning at that time he was prime but also his sickness was even worse.
I’m drunk asb and thiss is passing me off nobody thought sasuke was stronger than itachi at all except the itachi riders who think itachi could be war arch sasuke with the rinnegan
I think its a side affect of the Pain love too. Pain is strong and having Itachi contest him seems to take away from his strength. In reality it doesnt take anything away that Itachi is just more powerful.
@@Blubackbub You are even wrong about that. Pain may have far higher raw output. But he is also a better fighter. Because of his power people don't notes how good he is at fighting
@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc that's cause he is bad at fighting. He fell for every basic trick used against him. Sure he beat the leaf villa but the only Shinobi of note he fought there was Kakashi. Everyone else was fodder. He didn't even fight Tsunada (although he would have won). He mid diffed Jiraya and almost lost to Frog Song. He beat Sage Naruto sure but again not easily. Itachi when 99.9% dead and blind no diffed the strongest Sanin in the strongest form after Chakra fatiguing Hebi Sasuke. They aren't the same caliber at all.
I don’t remember Itachi evee perception blitzing Hebi sasuke. He tries to sneak attack sasuke during the shuriken clash with a clone and sasuke reacts by releasing a snake to defend himself. How was sasuke perception blitzed lol?
I think it was blatantly implied that itachi had one of the greatest talents and potential in the whole series. pain and obito might be stronger but itachi can potentially find a way to beat anyone including minato, obito or nagato. he is in their tier only below the likes of hashirama and madara lvls, where the difference in power is too great to compensate with skill intelligence and the firepower itachi possesses
The boy was literally glazed since the age of 5…him and the word underrated do not belong in the same sentence at any point in time😐 he’s damn near the Gojo of Naruto bro gets glazed for merely existing 😂
@@Virhtuethese are the nuclear statements I’m getting at😭😭 then they proceed to shun sasuke because he wasn’t at Itachi’s level at his age and it’s like if Kishimoto didn’t overly glaze itachi since he was introduced he would’ve been perfectly rated 😭
It's just his genjutsu evaporated over the years and people have brains now. Alive Itachi ( sick ) = garbage Edo = Op as duck 6:00 Generous for him aswell since he have to not spare more chakra in it. He had to cancel his sharingan bcs of the side effects 9:43 Perception blitz is a bit exagerated bcs he still sees it and react ( base hebi ) 9:55 Bruh it's before and first of Naruto don't say that, he just says Kakuzu is a risky bridge to cross in order to prove what he can do and Naruto would have failed to pass this bridge if not helped by 2 jonin. So this argument is just first of wrong + useless + it's not the same Naruto that Sasuke encountered. Bruh the glaze is crazy, you don't even know Chiyo manipulated Sakura in order to match Sasori 💀 The 3 thing you tried to claim are wrong xD. Obito said would most certainly, meaning it's not a stomp but around ~ 70-30 at best if Itachi is bloodlusted 10:44 Don't think he held back for the Tsukoyomi, even him was shocked and he knew from the past ( akatsuki novel ) you can get free of it. If a random could break Itachi's tsukoyomi ( without holding back ) i dont know why he would be so surprised if Sasuke did ( while holding ). 11:18 So both interpretation are dumb, would be complicate to explicate so I won't but both are very stupid. Secondly the Susano'o tanked the Kirin is such a massive joke and gay attitude NO CAP. How can you say that after Itachi's state + the susano'o disapearing after that meaning the susano'o got whiped out + heavily damage Itachi. 13:11 Wow you're very good in cowgirl position I see. So, no Itachi doesnt tank shit + this Sasuke have way more chakra than his brother so it's logic that his susano'o ribcage would be > itachi's susano'o's ribcage 13:24 That's HILARIOUS, what are you trying to say. First of, Itachi got pinned by the Kirin, in deathstate meaning the susano'o was obliterated bcs it pierced the susano'o in order to hit so badly Itachi. Diamond morph is only weak to lightning, susano ribcage are rather fragile from someone with high physical strength for the very least and many have those. Wow that was so bad, I'm shocked by this scaling just to ride a virgin fictual corpse. Get laid bro. I don't see where it says " godlike technique " and I did read everything. Ah wait you just changed the sentence from upper right, alright dishonesty, alright. Divine STATE OF MIND doesnt mean the guy is a godlike character. 14:05 Not generous, human. Yeah yata mirror block physical + range attacks those but the shield aien't 360 radius. It's a spirit weapon manifested by Itachi's chakra and the susano'o is used with chakra so preta path can clearly ( unlike you ) suck everything Itachi has. 14:27 LMAO, period. Lol the hydra is based on the japanese mythology, Orochi, it's not a god in the manga 19:26 No it's not impressive at all. Many regular shinobi can spit fire and do genjutsu I cannot finish this riding video, I don't wish even to my worse ennemy to react to this 💀
Blame some of that Amagi. Some fans really think Itachi couldn't have solo'd the clan alone. I don't know about the test thing because there are like people who made and know the answers to cheat off that are like secretly Chunin and such and another thing is maybe through the years the test might get harder or different which could be more or less impressive for some. Yeah seems like he just moved the Amateratsu. Kinda like the games where it moves granted the games probably don't show it completely correctly it wouldn't follow exactly like that or it would leave behind a trail of fire but of course that would crash Storm if too much effects stayed on. It's different form flame Control all he's doing is just looking and spreading the area in which he looks to keep activiating it it's not like he can shape it into a Sword or a spear exactly like Sasuke can do. I like to see it as the Skeletal or Pre-Armor no Yata. - There is like that Izanami thing that shows like the Toutska blade but I don't think anything in the Izanami that feels out of possibility is well impossible like Kabuto's Jutsu's and such. Meaning maybe the reason he went Armored is just to make sure that while sealing Nagato he had no way of getting past him to target Bee and Naruto. Individual Stats. Able to do the Impossible. A funny thumbnail for a video or the video would be the text on the thumbnail saying "Solo's the Sanin while Blind!" Let's go what a video. I wonder if this is also something that upscales EMS Sasuke.
@@TheAwsomeMannyyea people have to try to downplay itachi at some point because that arguably one of the ONLY Ls he ever took so you know that has to stand out 😂😂
If I'm being honest, Itachi would have been even much more powerful and stronger if he wasn't sick. He would have been able to defeat or kill Madara. alone all by himself
@@YayoHernandez-b1jyes bozo read what you wrote “he defeats or kills Madara all by himself” the guy who was soloing all existing shinobi with minimal effort are you okay??? This is the glazing that we’re talking about😂 he’s not underrated because people like you say things like this😂
I love the Sanin Scaling argument. Oro in strongest form gets no diffed by a 99.9% dead, and blind Itachi who just Chakra fatigued Sasuke. Pain gets off guarded and almost takes an L to Jiraya. Jiraya
Okay my honest take, and no disrespect to Vihtue. I respectfully disagree with a lot of this. First of all, the "Strongest man in the Akatsuki" statement I believe to be about Pain. Why? Because Pain simply has more impressive feats. I would have to be shown the equitable feats from alive Itachi, of Pain walking into the Leaf Village with no intel and beating everyone, then fighting Naruto and beating him THEN going on to revive everyone he killed. You might say Itachi held back the entire time we saw him. Okay then can't I say the same thing about Pain? If Pains mission was to kill Naruto, it's over immediately. You'd have to argue to me that Itachi has the charka to walk into the leaf village and beat everyone there and still have the ability to fight Naruto as well. Pain is clearly stronger than Itachi in terms of raw power. In a previous video you implied that this statement is referring to Pain if Itachi is technically a "not member" Yet if it is referring to Itachi, that means he is a member. I just find that to be disingenuous. Also, if Itachi is the strongest memeber, why is he spying?! If he can just kill them all why not just do it? They are a threat to the Leaf? Why not save the time, trouble, and lives? Your statements about the Databook I also question. "a jutsu feared by those around them to be the most powerful" that doesn't make the Susanoo the most powerful. I always ask Itachi fans, why can't his Susanoo be absorbed by the Preta path? Is it not a chakra construct? Is it special Nature energy? The same databook you referenced clearly states: "Every jutsu regardless of it's chakra properties is sucked away" Every time I ask this, I never get a real answer. Preta path should be able to just absorb the Susanoo. If Pain can absorb Itachis Susanoo the fight is over. Also the other abilties of the Paths of Pain are mentioned in Databook 4, why doesn't databook 4 supersede databook 3? Concerning Tsukyomi, it's not the "strongest genjutsu" it's "feared to be the strongest genjutsu" those are two widly diffrent things. As far as the "Invincible" terminology, when it comes to characters it obviously means nothing. No one in Naruto is "invincible". As far as the overall Itachi vs Pain debate. I don't think it's really a debate... Pain simply has way more ways of killing Itachi than Itachi does of "killing" Pain. Itachis only real win con is Totsuka blade and that MIGHT not even work because how do you "seal" the soul of a dead body?! That's also assuming Pain didn't just absorb his Susanoo to begin with. We got Itachi getting injured by a basic shuriken. (idc if he let it hit him, the fact that it still hurt him is my point) Meanwhile Pain is getting thrown into the cliff and deflecting Biju lasers with his hands. To wrap up the rant, yes, I think Itachi is overrated I think Pain is a horrible matchup for him. Again, no disrespect to big dawg Virtue, Great video though.
Itachi simply outscales Pain by way too much. Itachi can box with KCM Naruto and Killer Bee while the Deva path was struggling to fight sage Naruto. The other paths didn't stand a chance in taijutsu, so Pain is 100% getting speed blitzed. We've seen that the paths can be affected by genjutsu and amaterasu hard counters the summons to boot. The best evidence we have for the Preta path not being able to absorb away the susano'o is the fact that Itachi's susano'o ribcage pimp slapped Nagato and then Itachi blitzed him with the totsuka blade
@@matthewclark1857 See this argument is exactly what I am talking about. Itachi does not "simply outscales" Pain. 'The Deva Path was struggling to fight Sage Naruto" This is just a disingenuous argument; I find it interesting Itachi fans will take every context and honor it when it comes to Itachi but not do the same for Pain. "He was holding back" "He was a spy". You conveniently left out the context that he just leveled an entire village with one jutsu after fighting the entirety of said village... Even if you want to give Itachi speed above Pain, okay and? Itachi has two advantages against Pain. Speed and Tactical intellect. Pain has better Stamina, Versatility, Physical Endurance, Raw Power, and a Numerical advantage. Alive Itachi simply has no impressive feats that are equal to alive Pain, and this is why Itachi fans desperately try to scale him to Edo when everyone knows it's disingenuous. Nagato also boxed with KCM Naruto and proceeded to basically one shot him. Double standard. To your genjutsu point, again you are leaving out huge context. They were hit with legendary sound genjutsu from two sage toads. All the Paths were not even caught in it. Tell me what is Tsukuyomi (which last like milliseconds) doing against a dead body that doesn't have a mind? Also prove to me that Itachi can place all six paths of Pain into Tsukiyomi at the same time. You don't have evidence for it. Itachi pimped slapped Nagato with ribcage? You mean the Nagato who is just standing there being controlled by someone else? I find it interesting, Nagato scales to Pain if it's an argument in favor of Itachi. Yet Nagato and Pain aren't the same if it's an argument in favor of Nagato. The logical leaps and bounds Itachi fans make is just incredible. Also, you effectively dodged the question lol
@wallywest7800 I'm not trying to answer the question about who the statement was referring to, just showing that Itachi is way stronger than Pain. Of course Nagato can manhandle KCM Naruto and Bee, Nagato is far stronger than any individual path. But that's my whole point. Itachi is competing with Nagato and KCM Naruto, characters that massively outscale Pain in speed and AP. I never mentioned tsukuyomi, the paths have shown literally zero defense against genjutsu. I doubt Itachi would even need sharingan genjutsu to shut down any path he wants on command. It doesn't matter that there are multiple paths when they're individually fodder to Itachi. Also if you're stronger than the person casting edo tensei, you're brought back WEAKER. Alive Itachi is stronger than his edo self
@@matthewclark1857 That's the problem, you can't answer the question. Then you can't claim that Itachi is stronger than Pain simple. Your entire point is incorrect because I clearly said "alive" Itachi. Nagato is Pain. You don't have to mention Tsukuyomi, I mentioned it in my original post. The Paths only encountered a legendary sage toad genjutsu. All genjutsu don't function the same. If Tsukyomi isn't going to work why would lesser genjutsu work? You are benchmarking Itachis genjutsu off of MA and PAs frog song. That's disingenuous, they don't function the same way. And even if for some reason he can, you have yet to answer the question or prove if he can do it to Six bodies at once. Show me where the paths of Pain were defeated by VISUAL genjutsu. You can't. That's Itachi's bread and butter. "Individually fodder to Itachi" Except you don't have the feats to prove that. The Deva path alone is stronger than Itachi. Add in the other five and Itachi simply gets overwhelmed. Again, show me in terms of feats that alive Itachi is above Pain. "Alive Itachi is stronger than his edo self" His feats don't back that up. Alive Itachi is barely alive, that's like the most laughable thing I have heard. Again, you are dodging the question, like all Itachi fans seem to do when I ask it.

Not gonna lie, no glazing, but you're the BEST Naruto powescaler on youtube currently.

Bro got number 2 on the popularity polls though 💀
Reading the conversion Itachi has with Obito makes it pretty clear that Itachi and Obito are relative at that point. The fact that Kishimoto supervises this and approves of it is also more than enough to consider it as good supplementary material.
Itachi kinda wants the smoke with the guy, I was taken aback reading it and also watching this video. He seems to be certain he has a way of defeating Obito.
Perhaps later on Obito takes the edge because Itachi's illness was a huge nerf. Where he lacks in stamina, he makes up for in intelligence. A fight between the two would definitely be close

@@Virhtue Man I love you I hope when u become tooo big u wonts stop interacting with comments that stick out, I love your itachi videos u are one of. the only few UA-camrs that understands the character. u forgot to mention how his shuriken jutsu took out all of those summons and jiraiya couldn't. deal with them, and. that nchammer guy seems to think jiraiya and nagato are beating itachi. I however think he doest not surpass obito a the only reason is because he tells sasuke when he gets his eyes he. will surpass obito and called obito his mentor. also he says only people with thesame kekkei genkai can break out of tsukuyomi.. I think people downplay his awareness and
intelligence , the fact is no matter who u are itachi always has a chance of killing u even aliens with that totsuka blade, I think he scales up to Kcm 2 cos watching that kabuto fight he does 70% of the work and still able to react. I think. the say. sasuke. surpasses itachi only in eye powers when exactly is he stronger I would say full Susan as at one point zest says u are even more slower than on the uptake than itachi. sasuke still cannot break through a Susano with a yata mirror and itachi has a sealing con. why is the naruto community think genjutsu could work on minato and not hashirama ?itachis hit in less than a second but madras is being broken by ohnoki on the raikage. was itachi serious when he said only people with same kekke genkai can break thru tsukuyomi cuz sasuke did not break it as obito says u couldn't see through any of the illusions he created
I really like the point you made about EMS Sasuke and Itachi being equal in the narrative. I also like your comparison of sage Jiraya and Hydra Orochimaru. I think you also did a good job explaining a potential perspective of photo being worried of or afraid of a fight with Itachi. I think that not many people make that argument. I think Nagato, Obito, and Itachi are a difficult trio to compare. Good video.
And he took the test younger than minato way younger and the forest of death he had more potential than a lot of ppl
Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷🏻♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat, is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷🏻♂️ ☯️
Virhtue!!!
Amazing that someone listened to me and made a video explaining Itachi as he was describe in the light novels.
Minato has taken his place for the last 2-3 years. Itachi has become underrated af.
They literally swapped positions I wonder who's next
Itachi has jutsu, strength, and taijutsu feats and statements that people ignore. Itachi was a legend AS A KID before he awakened his sharingan. Yet fools say that he's fodder without it 🤦♂
I thought that I was the only one saying this but he's like Goku and Rengoku in the sense that some people overrated him on instagram posts for clocks and now he's overhated and downplayed. The fact that alive Itachi is above MS Sasuke, Kisame, Bee and Ay says enough. If he was a hax only one trick pony then it would be stated blantantly like Danzo or fodder movie characters.
People ignore the fact that a lot of characters scale to their hax. People stronger than Itachi is not losing to him with his Tsukuyomi and people weaker isn't beating him without it. That's literally how it goes.
W it’s crazy to see the amount of people who downplay my goat🙏🏽

Literally everybody glazes this man, they say that he can beat Nagato and even Madara.
@@Crowsbane4 that’s an over exaggerated claim and itachi easily beats nagat but madara a little debatable
@@Crowsbane4Itachi is capable of beating Nagato but loses badly to Madara.
@@cquchiha8442 capable? Maybe, likely? No. Nagato easily wins 8 or 9/10. He was about to body him if it wasn't for Bee and KCM Naruto saving him
The Itachi cycle goes glaze-hate-fair-glaze
True and right now we are in hate - fair
The third databook actually calls the Mangekyo sharingan itself(pointing to itachis eyes) as the strongest dojutsu with further mastery(which forms susanoo) helps to enter the realm of gods.
So he is going beyond the strongest dojutsu even by chapter 402 but potentially beyond.
The fanbook statement is actually talking about the susanoo itself as the ultimate absolute defense as sasuke is also a listed user.
So even without spirit weapons it is the ultimate absolute defense something reiterated in road to ninjas guidebook.
This all is consistent with, the same fanbook in narration of sasukes story just says itachis power surpasses everything which covers till the kage summit.
Zetsu describes him with spirit weapons as completely invincible.
Even the quiz book which is relased after chapter 700 still says the shield repels everything that attacks caster so the true limits of the spirit weapons are unknown so far.
Also itachi did go into a higher susanoo form for yasaka. Fourth databook even says he needs to go into that form to activate yasaka.
Yasaka is his strongest long range ninjutsu although amaterasu is described as a short range technique. So amaterasu might be >yasaka as kabuto still considers it the greatest attack after everything that happened in that fight.
Itachi thought he could beat Obito but thought Fugaku was a bad match up for him
Based on arbitrary assumption and the dude was his father
Itachi will always be the best~ love seeing Itachi oriented videos, much love
Way back in the day we had "Itachi vs Galactus" debates
Itachi is around kcm 2 level, the hax make up for the lack of power
KCM2?!?!

Hey virtue, this is totally off topic, but how do you think the sannin scale in relation to the 4th Raikage? I've been in a debate with someone on Orochimaru vs 4th Raikage and I think the Narrative supports the Sannin and Hiruzen > The other Kage. Thoughts?
i used to swear he could beat Minato but alas I realized Minato would win, both are still really good though

Has no answer for tsukuyomi
Itachi IS underrated. I have studied his moves from every single episode of his appearance, also the ultimate ninja games. His speed is incredible and his chakra control is on par with the hokages. He can outmatch any opponent physically and has hax moves. Unless you are madara or hashirama you are not beating him 1v1.
Nagato will beat him. Minato can beat him too and Jiraiya has a chance
Why so?
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc nope. Minato is the only one who has a chance. And Jiraiya not even.
@@ahmedxkhan So you think Itachi can defeat Pain
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc If we are talking Part 1 Itachi where he was in perfect condition. Then yes, he can definitely defeat Pain. Granted it will be a tough fight.
The analysis is great, but the characters will always be as strong as the writer wants.
Yes, that powerscaling analyzing the fine fiend of empirical and narrative evidence to come to the most likely conclusion of how strong a character was intended to be
37:44 yes i see. sheer coincidence leads Naruto to an unexpected enemy. that unexpected enemy is Itachi.
39:12 GREAT video. i believe you have firmly proven Itachi to be the force to be reckoned with, that he was always meant to be. now there's something i'm confused about. the Edo Itachi section. my understanding was, Edo Tensei revived someone at the point of death. but Kabuto could later work on them. using their cells or soul directly. to me, it would make sense that he work on both Itachi and Nagato. he brought Itachi back without disease or blindness, and Nagato back with the Rinnegan. and the reason his wouldn't give Nagato his physical strength back is because he knew it would be unnecessary. since at any point he could just take over his body directly, absorb chakra via the Preta Path, and return his physical strength that way. which is exactly what he does.
so i think the reason he didn't use his spirit weapons in version 2 Susanoo is because he didn't think it was necessary. not because he lacked mastery. and the reason he used them in version 3 to seal away Nagato, was because he found it necessary due to the extra range and power provided by the version 3 Susanoo. not due to lack of mastery. i do believe this is consistent, and doesn't undermine your scaling nor the story.
iirc, Kabuto said Madara was the only Edo Tensei he worked on extensively. key word being **extensively.** this doesn't mean he didn't work on any others. he knew that Madara was his ace, so of course it makes sense that he would work on him and his body the most.
now if none of this is true, it's true in my head-canon. but i'm still open to hearing your thoughts, if you even come across this comment at all.
I've always thought he was in a tier with the likes of nagato, pain, obito, minato and so on because of his hax. I think the fight against minato is much more close than ppl tend to think because of itachi's abillity to deflect minato's kunai with his own, making it significantly harder for minato to teleport in the way he would want to. Great vid as always.
Thank you!
So good great vid
Thank you!?
" Throughout heaven and earth, he alone was not under his genjutsu."
😂
I feel like the major problem is when talking about itachi in versus battles
To make things interesting they subconsciously cut out how unavoidable and lethal his genjutsu is
And downplay the other MS techniques and his stats to make it even remotely possible for his opponent
Nagato is THE character who should be glazed he was so op kishi first crippled him and then divided his ability into six different people because all six paths in one body would be insane then nerfed him even more through kabuto being an idiot and never using nagato to his fullest potential
Cap. Kabuto was better with Nagatos abilities than Nagato was. Bro got hit with amaterasu and didn't know what to do until Kabuto took over. He was also pretty dumb at combat and fell for actually every single trick used against him by every one he fought from Kakashi to Konohamaru. Konahamaru would never catch Itachi lacking.
@@Blubackbub You watch the Noodles don't you
How else do you not burn them? But nah. What are you a swag guy? Lol
@Bao-fh7lb bro ran out of arguments 😂 everyone who's fought pain has outsmarted him. He just used his power to make up the difference. Bro , of konohamaru can cook against pain .....let's get real now
@uspahle it's true though. Dude is a power house but stupid. How is it someone who never had the Rin, or even likely saw it in action was better with it than someone who had it his whole life?
Lotta Mickey Mouse arguments like that chibaku tensei point in this video, but anyone who says itachi is weaker than kisame is insane.
Then try to debunk any point about the CT
@@Virhtue really cool seeing you engage with your community as much as you do. It’s really refreshing. Not the best at articulating my thoughts relating to power scaling but I just fail to see how Itachi requesting bee and Naruto’s help in destroying the CT can be interpreted in any way other than he needed their help. Claiming anything other than that is a massive reach that I don’t think has any grounds to stand on. That’s definitely not what the author was trying to convey by having 3 people throw their strongest jutsu at the sphere.
@@Virhtue a problem I run into with all of these videos and discussions is everything people see or hear being interpreted hyper literally. People will cherry pick what feats they want to apply along with claims that take literal mental gymnastics to rationalize onto their takes. Whatever suits your narrative at the end of the day I guess. Interpreting the material differently is fine but it becomes ridiculous when these statements and showings are made out to be so much more than they are.
Healthy Itachi with Hashirama cells so he doesn't go blind vs Obito with both Kamui - who you got?
its hard to quantify itachis feats fully because hes the ultimate sandbagger. never went all out against anyone and then neg diffed Kabuto
oh yeah he also neg diffs orochimarus strongest form while he's on 1hp
itachi glaze commencing
For sure!!!
W glaze
I don't know whether Itachi would have been able to defeat a later Obito, and if so it's more likely because Itachi simply has a high level of combat intelligence that many people seem to underestimate. Because I think Itachi is not only damn strong, but he is also someone who can quickly read his opponents and quickly find solutions, just like Minato. And that is a disadvantage for every opponent. And I personally think that it's not just skills that are crucial, but also combat intelligence. And Itachi simply has both at the highest level. And I agree, first of all, Itachi wasn't 100% healthy later and also that he never fought with a killer instinct and therefore never went all out in fights. And despite the fact that he never used all of his power, he quickly made it clear to very strong opponents who was the boss. And many big names only had respectful words for him, which says enough to know that Itachi was ultra strong. In any case, I wouldn't underestimate Itachi no matter who the opponent is...that would be a mistake
if u think itachi can beat obito just stop watching naruto and come back 5 years later and watch it again maybe ull be comprehense then
Kisame said Itachi is stronger than him. I don't believe he is stronger than the combination of Pains but he is stronger than Nagato, Obito, Kakuzu, Kisame, Gokage, Sasuke, Sannin, Bee, and 7 Swordsmen of the Mist.
Prime Madara and Tobirama is 50/50
Peak Madara(Edo), Hokage 1/3/4, Naruto, and Dms Kakashi would beat him.
The 1v1 champ Finesse God himself
Frrrrrr
I would love to see itachi vs kisame for sure. Outside of that, wondering how madara learned to release himself from the Edo tensei???
The Only Uchiha That Actually Used HIS OWN POWER!! Mfs Gas Madara And Obito Wayyyyyy Too Much
Danzō's consistent praise of Itachi is partially a farce to place Itachi in a position for him to use him to self-destruct the Uchiha, so it might not be able to be taken as entirely legitimate. Though he did honestly respect him, it is questionable if he really saw him as more talented as Hiruzen or Kakashi when they graduated, for example.
The link betwixt Sasuke to Sasori is a bit dubious given Sakura could have been potentially mentally amplified against Sasori, and mentally supressed against Sasuke, in addition to Sasori underestimating/holding back against Sakura at points, whilst he likely fought more seriously against Sandaime Kazekage.
The second Amaterasu might just be a fireball tracking his line of sight. Essentially he makes one ball of fire which is then dragged along by his focal point (so yes, it could likely scorch an entire line). Further impressive, then, when one realizes it likely would have been easier to hit Sasuke if he were not specifically aiming for his wing.
Itachi had more than just the ribcage. Parts of the skeleton were starting to form which would be a slightly higher stage of development than Sasuke's against the Raikage.
The comparison to the Earth Spear seems disingenuous when it is noted it was primarily pierced by Kakashi due to an elemental disadvantage.
Sasuke is noted to have superior dōjutsu to Itachi after gaining Eternal Mangekyō, so his Amaterasu (a sort of dōjutsu) might surpass Itachi's Susanoo (unclear if Amaterasu gets stronger with the user or not, but is a line one could use).
That Itachi was beating the >Sannin Orochimaru to a greater degree than Pain was beating a >Sannin Jiraiya could just indicate that Jiraiya's >Sannin boost is greater than Orochimaru's, Pain was holding back (imagine if he just attacked with all six paths at once), or so on. There is not exactly a comparison betwixt the >Sannin incarnations of the Sannin, aside from the fact they have all interesting/strange powers, so they might not be equal, anymore. To add consistency, Orochimaru is still seeking out Sage Mode even after the Fourth Shinobi World War, with him praising Mitsuki as having power beyond himself, later revealing that power is Sage Mode/Transformation. Id est, the Jiraiya, Pain, Itachi, Orochimaru comparison does not exactly paint Itachi > Pain, off of itself, inherently.
The Mangekyō does not give Itachi more chakra. It allows him to pour out more chakra for jutsu/genjutsu, and also drains more passively, so really it gives him less. Two genjutsu (one not even from the Sharingan) and a single Fireball from a 30% clone is quite reasonable, going off of the manga alone. He was not really beating Kakashi, either.
Itachi did not use the Phoenix Sage Fire against B. He used the Phoenix Sage Flower Crimson Nail, which is more advanced.
19:35 Itachi is literally sweating on the right page being shown here, with him noting he is exhausted and will need to rest his body... So using two Mangekyō was his limit (he could have killed Jiraiya without Mangekyō at all, though, of course).
Naruto Jinraiden lines up fine with canon, though it is a bit vague on how Itachi took it the medication, given Sasuke's usage of the eyedrops was more for his developing Mangekyō rather than any illness. The events of Naruto Jinraiden are also referenced in Kakashi Hiden, which itself ties into the canon version of the Blood Prison seen in the Boruto anime and mentioned in the Boruto manga, the introduction of the airships seen commonly in the New Era, and the introduction of Kakashi's Shiden (Purple Lightning) which is seen used by him in the anime, and by Mitsuki and Boruto in the manga.
It is possible the Edo Tensei just restored some of the physical damage to Itachi's body, similarly to Kimimaro, instead of pulling him back in time for his revival. Same result, though.
I think he just wanted/felt he needed to use the Armored Susanoo against Nagato when he had unlimited stamina rather than being arbitrarily weaker...
Itachi needed to blind Nagato's peripheral vision, first, suggesting Nagato would have reacted if he saw Itachi coming, indicating Itachi is not substantially faster otherwise.
The humanoid Susanoo is more developed than the skeletal Susanoo, and it is not said each shinobi contributed a third. If Naruto and B are 90%, the Chibaku is 100%, Itachi could be 10%, even if with four magatama he is closer to 15% (not concrete numbers, but the point stands it is not really known for certain).
As said previously, Sasuke is actually said to surpass Itachi's genjutsu and dōjutsu, but as noted by Zetsu, Itachi is more intelligent, so his quick-thinking might even it out with snap decisions.
The Zetsu on Sasuke are not enhancing him. They are spores for watching him. Even if they were enhancing him, Sasuke got much stronger even without them due to his growing hatred, when he was already possessing superior dōjutsu to Itachi beforehand.
If Sasuke is stronger than Itachi, the scaling to Naruto is not really valid for Itachi. And, in relation to fighting a weakened Kyūbi Mode, Itachi going into Mangekyō would not have made him stronger. Shisui only said it could pour out more chakra for jutsu, not that it literally multiplies the user's chakra, and further, Jigen noted Sasuke was going all out when he still had three-tomoe Sharingan, substantiating it is not a power-up.
Not relevant to the point, but in relation to Itachi Shinden expanding on a manga scene, Naruto Jinraiden does that as well, both with Obito and Sasuke conversing in the Mountains Graveyard shortly before Sasuke leaves, and also the scene upon the cliffside that Sasuke renames Hebi into Taka, under. So if Jinraiden is dubiously not canon, by that logic, neither should Shinden.
That Obito saw Itachi as an opponent does not mean they were close. There can be unequal opponents. Obito also had utilitarian reasons to honour his agreement. By keeping to his word, he got to use Itachi as an asset for many years to, for example, help with the sealing of the bijū, and was also getting ready to get Sasuke to replace Itachi. All he had to do was wait for Itachi to die, which he knew was going to happen anyway, and Konoha needs to be targeted last, regardless, since Kurama is the last to be sealed. Conversely, if he did make Itachi an enemy, and even if he killed him, he would lose him as an asset prematurely and might not get Sasuke as a replacement. Ergo, Konoha not being "off limits" could jsut mean the pact has run its course for his own benefit, rather than Itachi being able to actually stop him.
Konan almost killed Obito with abilities far beyond her regular means, and if she knew about Izanagi, could have possibly actually killed him, but it does not mean she scales to him normally, and the same logic can apply to Itachi. In turn, does not really mean Itachi is inherently stronger than Pain (I think Itachi would beat Pain, but I think he would be forced to use up at least one eye altogether.)
One of the Storm games (at least, I think it is a Storm game) insinuates Itachi was forced to retreat from Jiraiya, so they are not exactly reliable in that sense.
Tsukuyomi's description is contingent on the target actually being caught/dragged in, which Obito would likely not succumb into to begin with, and the spirit weapons would likely not be able to find their mark on Obito, either, who can also lacks physical form/can vanish even faster than Dust Release can explode.
If Kishimoto did write the weekly statements, I think it was intentionally ambiguous to lead to a three-way deadlock betwixt the three dōjutsu users of the Akatsuki. Even if it was explicitly referring to Pain, though, in that context, I think it could be referring to raw power instead of the typical definition of power in Naruto, being combat ability, (Pain can withstand two Rinnegan, which even Obito cannot), so it does not really say Pain is more combatively viable in that interpretation, either way.
I think Itachi is in contention for second strongest in the Akatsuki after Obito, and just about even to some version of Kyūbi Mode, but I think he caps out near there. Minato is stated to be stronger than him and everyone else in Part I, for example, and even with revelations of Itachi's true power in Part II, I feel that comparison still holds. Definitely above the >Sannin tier and in turn the 1% of the shinobi world, though.
Yessir.
Ain't no way😂😂😂
Respect to you for being so upfront with your glazing😁
The only reason Itachi does as well as he does against kabuto is because he is an edo.
If you put him at gis peak alive dude has two Tsykumoi's and two amaterasu's with some susanno use before he just goes blind. Its just a waiting game to out last his eyes which is relatively easy if you scale to him physically like Obito does
That's bot his peak then, if he's that close to going blind.
@@synysterpain well if he ain't going blind his susanno won't be as developed.
I meant his peak power not peak health
@@jiero3253 YOU DO KNOW, he had to hold back not to kill kabuto. He even tells Sasuke not to and blocks one of his moves in the beginning. That fight would end much quicker. And again, itachi stamina is downplayed. He used (spammed) Amaterasu, sussanoo, and tsukoyomi on Sasuke and still was walking up on him in the end enough to do his signature move in Sasuke.
@@shadowuchiha4311 so did kabuto to put Itachi back under his control, what's your point.
Sasuke and Itachi could have killed him but let's not act like the white extreme attack wouldn't have ended that fight if Itachi was alive.
His stamina is pretty cheeks. He didn't spam his ms abilities against Sasuke he used them a total of 3 times. Two amaterasu's and a single Tskuyomi attempt before going fully blind that's it
@@jiero3253 He literally spammed it over the hide out so he used the shit more than three times. And it was that on top of the sussanno. With the fucking totsuka blade and yata mirror.
As far as kabuto is concerned, he literally was trying to talk kabuto down before even attempting the izanami for one. And two, he was trying to redo the edo tensei, which did not need or cause for him to hold back on killing him. Because he would just come back to life. The person kabuto was holding back on was actually Sasuke, because then he would be breaking the deal. And itachi would have reacted differently had they been trying to kill him, on top of itachi saving sasuke plenty of times.
The fundamental problem is that the rules for Mangekyō Sharingan and ESPECIALLY Susano’o (including the unique Spirit Weapons on Itachi’s Susano’o) were never really set in stone. Specifically, due to inconsistent sizing on the Susano’o and the lack of clear guidelines on it (as well as the things that various Susano’o canonically fought against), it follows that characters’ power levels at various stages of Susano’o development and with various tiers of dojutsu make no sense. Basically Itachi’s Armored Susano’o was drawn too small (especially as we now know the purpose of the forehead jewel on the Armored and Perfect Susano’o (to house the user), and we know that the Perfect Susano’o is basically the Armored Susano’o but with its chakra stabilized). Basically the heights for Armored and Perfect Susano’o should be the same, but with the Armored Susano’o being bulkier and using its larger secondary arms (which transform into wings on the Perfect Susano’o)-and while this doesn’t fit with how Itachi’s Susano’o was drawn in certain frames (or how Susano’o was originally depicted in general), it DOES make sense if we assume that each of the 8 snakes of Orochimaru’s 8-Headed Hydra form is the size of Manda/Aoda (this would also more closely match the intent behind Orochimaru having this form, as it is his equivalent to Sage Jiraiya with ALL of Mount Myoboku backing him and would imply him to be at least as powerful as said version of Jiraiya). Given that Itachi’s Armored Susano’o is supposed to be relatively similar in size to the 8-Headed Hydra, it follows that if each of the 8 heads of the hydra is the size of Manda’s (and if the forehead jewel is supposed to house the user), then Itachi’s Armored Susano’o would be roughly the same height as your STANDARD Perfect Susano’o, at about 135-180 meters tall (Edo Madara’s being larger makes sense due to the Hashirama Cells in his body as well as Edo Tenseis having infinite chakra, however EMS Madara’s doesn’t really make sense given that while EMS may lower the chakra cost, it would not lower it by enough to justify a 10x size increase, as seen with EMS Sasuke). Basically if I were to scale the Susano’o and make rules for Armored and Perfect Susano’o sizes, here is what I would do (as standard):
With MS/EMS: 170m (to top of head)
With 6 Tomoe Rinnegan (x1): 340m (to top of head)
With Rinnegan (x2): 680m (to top of head)
With Rinnegan+Senjutsu or 6 Tomoe Rinnegan (x2): 1360m (to top of head)
With 9 Tomoe Rinnesharingan (x1): 5440m (to top of head)
With 9 Tomoe Rinnesharingan (x2): 21760m (to top of head)
Note: This only applies for the original user’s Susano’o (and said user can create a smaller Armored/Perfect Susano’o). If the user can create Shadow/Wood/Limbo Clones, then said clones can theoretically create their own Susano’o, albeit at smaller sizes.

The only thing that doesn’t put him at the top of the list, before the war arc is is nerfs. Going blind and dying
amidst torune beating kisame and a few terrible takes there is light
love the naruto content
Appreciate it
Itachi became so overrated by the fans that he was underrated to bring him back down to reality.
They did a terrible a job and went to far with it
Very true. He is one of the most overrated characters. Even I liked him, I didn't like how the fans overrated him.
Couldn’t it be argued that Itachi used Version 4 for increased stats, and reach instead when sealing Nagito?
It’s possible though the reach shouldn’t change
@@Virhtue thanks for replying man.I appreciate the discussion you have with us in the comments to as well as the video.
I still have a legitimately hard time saying who wins when it comes to Pain vs Itachi.
Itachi has insane edo feats, but Kabuto just didn’t use Nagito as well as Nagito would’ve. This muddies the waters and makes it hard to tell what is Nagito’s upper limits.
Oh, and my usual disagreement with the Sasuke perception blitzing Sakura and Naruto lol.
Let me try to explain my reasoning better though. I don’t disagree that it was a blitz and Sasuke is faster than them.
I just think it’s important to realize the context of everything. Sakura and Naruto. Physically and mentally fatigued because of the nine tails. Furthermore, the two of them were under significant psychological stress from seeing this Sasuke. Imagine seeing your childhood friend and not being able to recognize him anymore, or get through to him.
It’s because of all this that I don’t think either of them were able to properly perceive things.
So this makes the conclusion that Sasuke could blitz other akatsuki members shaky. He could overwhelm them with his speed and put them on the back foot, but they would be able to react a bit and overcome the speed disadvantage with distance and numbers.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol. Seriously though if anyone reads this, I thank you for your time.
1 on 1 Itachi beats pein and obito but if we are talking about feats and large scale battles Pein would perform better .
I mean Pain does have a much better arsenal for that
Never understood this take. Bro u realize he wanted obito dead, knew that obito would try to manipulate sasuke and besides just killing obito like y’all claim he can, he instead chose to gamble on a trap that FAILS that leads to sasuke finding out the truth of itachi which itachi dedicated his LIFE to hiding from sasuke and in turn caused sasuke to be manipulated by obito?
If he could kill obito 1. I doubt he would’ve failed to off guard obito and 2. He would have no reason to straight up not kill obito who’s the biggest threat to the leaf/world and a threat to sasuke, itachi even made sure to lure orochimaru out and “kill” him before dying to sasuke but chooses not to face obito head on.
W vid. My goat is the greatest uchiha prodigy who ever lived and didnt need help from anyone else outside of grinding with shisui. If the narrative and his role were different he’d have been hokage someday.
On top of this I never seen someone say itachi is weaker than kakashi bc itachi was clearly holding back bc his whole plot was to protect the leaf and to make sasuke stronger and kakashi was the only one to do it and orochimaru that’s why itachi didn’t kill someone who committed treason he knew what his plans was. Common sense if he couldn’t get itachis body the closes person is sasuke who was weaker at the time
Amateratsu was made a joke later in the series, but originally it was beyond busted.
Itachi originally had the ability to blink away whatever with the jutsu. After its very first use it was never used to the same way again.
It had to get nerfed. The Ultimate Ninja game series showcases the jutsu with its original capabilities intact.
It does get put in bad situations that’s for sure
it wasn’t nerfed. every jutsu is like that. it appears great until some overcomes it. e.g. chibaku tensei
@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc except there's clear differences in its capabilities from its original use.
Currently it burns (if it can), Spawns fire
Previously it incinerates
You've never seen Sasuke look at someone and vaporize them, Itachi vaporized a hole in that fire toads stomach when it was first used.
I suggest checking out Itachi jutsu in the Ultimate Ninja series games, Amateratsu was never used the same way again in the anime.
@@Cloke100 Why would I care about a game? The manga and anime is enough. A game may not be accurate. Also the toad stomach was still he had time to focus on there. Same when Sasuke burnt some Zetsu
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc Welp fill free to do whatever you want, the discrepancies are there.
It's not the same but you do you, you say the manga and anime are enough but here we are.
Amaterasu isn't capable of incinerating like it was originally; a nerf. Sasuke never repeated the same feat because the jutsu was changed.
This video title is facts.
Very true
This title is hilarious
Too much truth in four words
I think obito would still beat itachi in a fight i think its more so the fact that obito didn’t want to take the risk of fighting him
Because of?!
@@Virhtue bare with me this finna get long(ima break it into parts to make it more readable so just so you know this comment is no where near as long as it looks).
well obito has better feats in general being able to hold off kcm naruto, killer bee, kakashi, and guy at the same time(while protecting the geto statue not even actually trying to beat them).he’s also more experienced.
The biggest reason however is the fact that kamui is a direct counter to everything itachi has in his bag.
The susanoo and the special sealing blade he has is useless against obito since he can phase through it. We already know obito can just absorb amatarasu with kamui. He can summon the geto statue to help him jump itachi if he wants.
His special zetsu arm makes him physically stronger then itachi. He is most likely faster cuz of kamui. His reaction speed is obviously better, even tho obito only has one eye his singular eye has better vision then itachi’s two eyes cuz of sharingon strain. And without prep time i cant see itachi really doing anything to him.
Obito also has hashirama cells, meaning despite it being inconsistent we know he can use wood style and heal himself whenever he wants and we have seen him do both these things a few times
Now for Tsukyomi Obito is also a high genjutsu specialist in his own right him being able to break a tsukyomei isn’t far fetched. But since we have no evidence he can just do that ima propose a different alternative incase he cant do that. He can use his borrowed sharingon and use izanagi to escape instantly if he really cant break tsukyomei and kill itachi before itachi can counter with his own izanagi
Taking all these things in consideration i believe obito would win especially since he has knows everything abt itachi while itachi knows really nothing abt him besides kamui.
In other words obitos feats, statements and scaling surpass itachi but more importantly he out scales him greatly in hax and combat experience
@@Virhtuewhy would obito fight itachi when he’s the 2nd strongest member on his team? The entire point of the akastuki is to form a powerful team of rogue Shinobi rogue meaning they betrayed or were banised from their village so he knows they have their own true motives but still uses them towards the benefit of the plan. Itachi is no different especially when obito knows itachi is going to die soon and the way he dies will grant him sasuke as a replacement. So he used itachi, collects the other tailed beast and waits until itachis dead then when itachi does die he literally says “everything is going according to plan” uses the way he dies to tell the truth of his death to manipulate sasuke, gains sasuke as a replacement and sets up the war to get the last two tailed beast. Even when edo itachi found out how things played out he says “so Madara knew everything about me all along”
Obviously itachi wasn’t a lap dog but that’s obito being a mastermind and using everyone he can ur twisting this out to be out of fear as if he wasn’t shown edo itachi and 4 others and showed no fear, as if he hasn’t faced stronger characters than itachi. It really just doesn’t mean sense.
@@dc5855i respect your opinion,but i never see OM obito throwing hands with someone he only use kamui to counter and escape, WM obito is my fav who fought against those 3, but kamui also has weakness and itachi is expert in finding justs's weaknesses like when he fought against edo nagato he find the weak spot of shinra tensie.. his powers are not as deadly as his biq he can use his crow style clones to counter kamui like he can use his explosive clones in obito's face so that he can land a hit while obito use kamui..but it's just my assumption obito's chances of winning are high i would say if they fight 10times the the score will be 2/10 for itachi.
he's in between negato and kisame in strength
I like mr sweetheart Itachi.
Do you have a video of itachi in the place of pain vs the lead village? Does he have anything to even do the lead village as bad as pain did?
underated? Bro most fans say in the O.G series, he only loses to Madara, Hashirama, Naruto, Sasuke, Kaguya, and maaaaybe Minato, Kabuto, Nagato/Pein.. (Heck, people think he speedblitzes Nagato/pein)
They say he wins most matches, and and outside that list beats even the kage in a one on one to one on FIVE.
listen its natural if you wanna glaze your characters. like i glaze minato and sasuke like crazy others glaze itachi and pain aslong as they can atleast back up their points i got no complaints
Send the scans that says orochimaru is the strongest sanin
There are none, Jiraiya is clearly the strongest by feats.
He showed the panel where Orochimaru say it isn't a contest between them both.
@@pkj2148 Which isn't a definitive statement, it's just boasting.
Even in terms of development, i think when people started seeing how there's multiples well written characters in naruto they started forgetting about itachi too much
In some sense though some people do be saying “Itachi is the best written character”
@@Virhtue yeah but he's not talked about at all nowadays in most videos about character development, or maybe it's just me tho
Itachi being over the Orochimaru that had a one hour fight with Hiruzen is all I need to hear.
59 mins where them having a chakra tug of war😅 jp
Itachi is popp because he is a sick person there is nothing else to it,point is at his prime was when he fought sasuke,meaning at that time he was prime but also his sickness was even worse.
I’m drunk asb and thiss is passing me off nobody thought sasuke was stronger than itachi at all except the itachi riders who think itachi could be war arch sasuke with the rinnegan
I think its a side affect of the Pain love too. Pain is strong and having Itachi contest him seems to take away from his strength. In reality it doesnt take anything away that Itachi is just more powerful.
Agreed
Itachi is not more powerful than Pain
@@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc Perhaps I should have said a better fighter. Pain likely has a higher raw output from feats. But that's it.
@@Blubackbub You are even wrong about that. Pain may have far higher raw output. But he is also a better fighter. Because of his power people don't notes how good he is at fighting
@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc that's cause he is bad at fighting. He fell for every basic trick used against him. Sure he beat the leaf villa but the only Shinobi of note he fought there was Kakashi. Everyone else was fodder. He didn't even fight Tsunada (although he would have won). He mid diffed Jiraya and almost lost to Frog Song. He beat Sage Naruto sure but again not easily. Itachi when 99.9% dead and blind no diffed the strongest Sanin in the strongest form after Chakra fatiguing Hebi Sasuke. They aren't the same caliber at all.
The glazing kinda insane
its literally in the story in your face
PAIN/Nagato HAS BECOME UNDERRATED
They call me Kakashi the way i get to a girls heart ❤
I don’t remember Itachi evee perception blitzing Hebi sasuke. He tries to sneak attack sasuke during the shuriken clash with a clone and sasuke reacts by releasing a snake to defend himself. How was sasuke perception blitzed lol?
I think it was blatantly implied that itachi had one of the greatest talents and potential in the whole series. pain and obito might be stronger but itachi can potentially find a way to beat anyone including minato, obito or nagato. he is in their tier only below the likes of hashirama and madara lvls, where the difference in power is too great to compensate with skill intelligence and the firepower itachi possesses
The boy was literally glazed since the age of 5…him and the word underrated do not belong in the same sentence at any point in time😐 he’s damn near the Gojo of Naruto bro gets glazed for merely existing 😂
“Thought like a hokage at the sage of seven”
@@Virhtuethese are the nuclear statements I’m getting at😭😭 then they proceed to shun sasuke because he wasn’t at Itachi’s level at his age and it’s like if Kishimoto didn’t overly glaze itachi since he was introduced he would’ve been perfectly rated 😭
@@NarutosRasengan5 so basically you have a problem with plot. Okay.
Sakura and Naruto were not alert they were literally in a mental situation🤦🏾♂️ what happen when they fought Naruto had to hold back😂💯
It's just his genjutsu evaporated over the years and people have brains now.
Alive Itachi ( sick ) = garbage
Edo = Op as duck
6:00 Generous for him aswell since he have to not spare more chakra in it. He had to cancel his sharingan bcs of the side effects
9:43 Perception blitz is a bit exagerated bcs he still sees it and react ( base hebi )
9:55 Bruh it's before and first of Naruto don't say that, he just says Kakuzu is a risky bridge to cross in order to prove what he can do and Naruto would have failed to pass this bridge if not helped by 2 jonin. So this argument is just first of wrong + useless + it's not the same Naruto that Sasuke encountered. Bruh the glaze is crazy, you don't even know Chiyo manipulated Sakura in order to match Sasori 💀
The 3 thing you tried to claim are wrong xD. Obito said would most certainly, meaning it's not a stomp but around ~ 70-30 at best if Itachi is bloodlusted
10:44 Don't think he held back for the Tsukoyomi, even him was shocked and he knew from the past ( akatsuki novel ) you can get free of it. If a random could break Itachi's tsukoyomi ( without holding back ) i dont know why he would be so surprised if Sasuke did ( while holding ).
11:18 So both interpretation are dumb, would be complicate to explicate so I won't but both are very stupid. Secondly the Susano'o tanked the Kirin is such a massive joke and gay attitude NO CAP. How can you say that after Itachi's state + the susano'o disapearing after that meaning the susano'o got whiped out + heavily damage Itachi.
13:11 Wow you're very good in cowgirl position I see. So, no Itachi doesnt tank shit + this Sasuke have way more chakra than his brother so it's logic that his susano'o ribcage would be > itachi's susano'o's ribcage
13:24 That's HILARIOUS, what are you trying to say. First of, Itachi got pinned by the Kirin, in deathstate meaning the susano'o was obliterated bcs it pierced the susano'o in order to hit so badly Itachi. Diamond morph is only weak to lightning, susano ribcage are rather fragile from someone with high physical strength for the very least and many have those. Wow that was so bad, I'm shocked by this scaling just to ride a virgin fictual corpse. Get laid bro.
I don't see where it says " godlike technique " and I did read everything. Ah wait you just changed the sentence from upper right, alright dishonesty, alright. Divine STATE OF MIND doesnt mean the guy is a godlike character.
14:05 Not generous, human. Yeah yata mirror block physical + range attacks those but the shield aien't 360 radius. It's a spirit weapon manifested by Itachi's chakra and the susano'o is used with chakra so preta path can clearly ( unlike you ) suck everything Itachi has.
14:27 LMAO, period.
Lol the hydra is based on the japanese mythology, Orochi, it's not a god in the manga
19:26 No it's not impressive at all. Many regular shinobi can spit fire and do genjutsu
I cannot finish this riding video, I don't wish even to my worse ennemy to react to this 💀
Almost fully agree
Hardcore underrated. I would say slightly weaker than madara
I mean, this may be a bit much but it’s nothing crazy
@@Virhtueyes kishimoto had to kill off itachi or else he would have beat Madara and ended the war. LMAO
Blame some of that Amagi. Some fans really think Itachi couldn't have solo'd the clan alone.
I don't know about the test thing because there are like people who made and know the answers to cheat off that are like secretly Chunin and such and another thing is maybe through the years the test might get harder or different which could be more or less impressive for some.
Yeah seems like he just moved the Amateratsu.
Kinda like the games where it moves granted the games probably don't show it completely correctly it wouldn't follow exactly like that or it would leave behind a trail of fire but of course that would crash Storm if too much effects stayed on.
It's different form flame Control all he's doing is just looking and spreading the area in which he looks to keep activiating it it's not like he can shape it into a Sword or a spear exactly like Sasuke can do.
I like to see it as the Skeletal or Pre-Armor no Yata.
-
There is like that Izanami thing that shows like the Toutska blade but I don't think anything in the Izanami that feels out of possibility is well impossible like Kabuto's Jutsu's and such.
Meaning maybe the reason he went Armored is just to make sure that while sealing Nagato he had no way of getting past him to target Bee and Naruto.
Individual Stats.
Able to do the Impossible.
A funny thumbnail for a video or the video would be the text on the thumbnail saying "Solo's the Sanin while Blind!"
Let's go what a video.
I wonder if this is also something that upscales EMS Sasuke.
if Kanon gave itachi the information on obito during early part 2 then he would have won.
Itachi has got you in the glaze me daddy justsu
See virhtue upload watch the video life is simple
Love to hear it my bro!!
30sec in best video
Best video in 30sec??!?!! What made you like it?!
Don't tell me this wall victim is underrated
Didn’t both shisui and itachi get their asses kicked by a half hyuga in the novels?
When they were kids bro this is disingenuous 😐plus that guy was a fckin Anbu captain bruh cmon now and he still got dropped by Shisui 😂

@@Bao-fh7lb yeah because I know how goated he is
I personally think Kakashi and Jiraiya be getting glazed more than Itachi.
To all the people who think you are just “glazing” itachi I say
Womp Womp cry about it
If I'm being honest, Itachi would have been even much more powerful and stronger if he wasn't sick. He would have been able to defeat or kill Madara. alone all by himself
Ah yes the wankers that davalidate this entire video
Omg wipe your mouth and get off your knees this is blasphemy 😂
@@NarutosRasengan5 really
@@YayoHernandez-b1jyes bozo read what you wrote “he defeats or kills Madara all by himself” the guy who was soloing all existing shinobi with minimal effort are you okay??? This is the glazing that we’re talking about😂 he’s not underrated because people like you say things like this😂
Pursue-follow in order to catch or attack them. Itachi was not in pursuit of Naruto, Pain was
Itachi is a lot of things none of which is underrated
i swear people are coping in the chat idk why people don’t like itachi he’s so badass?
I love the Sanin Scaling argument. Oro in strongest form gets no diffed by a 99.9% dead, and blind Itachi who just Chakra fatigued Sasuke.
Pain gets off guarded and almost takes an L to Jiraya.
Jiraya
When did Pain almost get an L to Jiraiya? Pain completely destroyed him.
People were calling Itachi garbage ?! When did people become so ridiculously disrespectful ?
Okay my honest take, and no disrespect to Vihtue. I respectfully disagree with a lot of this.
First of all, the "Strongest man in the Akatsuki" statement I believe to be about Pain. Why? Because Pain simply has more impressive feats. I would have to be shown the equitable feats from alive Itachi, of Pain walking into the Leaf Village with no intel and beating everyone, then fighting Naruto and beating him THEN going on to revive everyone he killed. You might say Itachi held back the entire time we saw him. Okay then can't I say the same thing about Pain? If Pains mission was to kill Naruto, it's over immediately. You'd have to argue to me that Itachi has the charka to walk into the leaf village and beat everyone there and still have the ability to fight Naruto as well. Pain is clearly stronger than Itachi in terms of raw power.
In a previous video you implied that this statement is referring to Pain if Itachi is technically a "not member"
Yet if it is referring to Itachi, that means he is a member. I just find that to be disingenuous. Also, if Itachi is the strongest memeber, why is he spying?! If he can just kill them all why not just do it? They are a threat to the Leaf? Why not save the time, trouble, and lives?
Your statements about the Databook I also question. "a jutsu feared by those around them to be the most powerful" that doesn't make the Susanoo the most powerful.
I always ask Itachi fans, why can't his Susanoo be absorbed by the Preta path? Is it not a chakra construct? Is it special Nature energy? The same databook you referenced clearly states: "Every jutsu regardless of it's chakra properties is sucked away" Every time I ask this, I never get a real answer. Preta path should be able to just absorb the Susanoo. If Pain can absorb Itachis Susanoo the fight is over. Also the other abilties of the Paths of Pain are mentioned in Databook 4, why doesn't databook 4 supersede databook 3?
Concerning Tsukyomi, it's not the "strongest genjutsu" it's "feared to be the strongest genjutsu" those are two widly diffrent things.
As far as the "Invincible" terminology, when it comes to characters it obviously means nothing. No one in Naruto is "invincible".
As far as the overall Itachi vs Pain debate. I don't think it's really a debate...
Pain simply has way more ways of killing Itachi than Itachi does of "killing" Pain. Itachis only real win con is Totsuka blade and that MIGHT not even work because how do you "seal" the soul of a dead body?! That's also assuming Pain didn't just absorb his Susanoo to begin with.
We got Itachi getting injured by a basic shuriken. (idc if he let it hit him, the fact that it still hurt him is my point) Meanwhile Pain is getting thrown into the cliff and deflecting Biju lasers with his hands.
To wrap up the rant, yes, I think Itachi is overrated I think Pain is a horrible matchup for him. Again, no disrespect to big dawg Virtue, Great video though.
Itachi simply outscales Pain by way too much. Itachi can box with KCM Naruto and Killer Bee while the Deva path was struggling to fight sage Naruto. The other paths didn't stand a chance in taijutsu, so Pain is 100% getting speed blitzed. We've seen that the paths can be affected by genjutsu and amaterasu hard counters the summons to boot. The best evidence we have for the Preta path not being able to absorb away the susano'o is the fact that Itachi's susano'o ribcage pimp slapped Nagato and then Itachi blitzed him with the totsuka blade
@@matthewclark1857 See this argument is exactly what I am talking about.
Itachi does not "simply outscales" Pain. 'The Deva Path was struggling to fight Sage Naruto"
This is just a disingenuous argument; I find it interesting Itachi fans will take every context and honor it when it comes to Itachi but not do the same for Pain. "He was holding back" "He was a spy". You conveniently left out the context that he just leveled an entire village with one jutsu after fighting the entirety of said village...
Even if you want to give Itachi speed above Pain, okay and? Itachi has two advantages against Pain. Speed and Tactical intellect.
Pain has better Stamina, Versatility, Physical Endurance, Raw Power, and a Numerical advantage.
Alive Itachi simply has no impressive feats that are equal to alive Pain, and this is why Itachi fans desperately try to scale him to Edo when everyone knows it's disingenuous.
Nagato also boxed with KCM Naruto and proceeded to basically one shot him. Double standard.
To your genjutsu point, again you are leaving out huge context. They were hit with legendary sound genjutsu from two sage toads. All the Paths were not even caught in it. Tell me what is Tsukuyomi (which last like milliseconds) doing against a dead body that doesn't have a mind? Also prove to me that Itachi can place all six paths of Pain into Tsukiyomi at the same time. You don't have evidence for it.
Itachi pimped slapped Nagato with ribcage? You mean the Nagato who is just standing there being controlled by someone else? I find it interesting, Nagato scales to Pain if it's an argument in favor of Itachi. Yet Nagato and Pain aren't the same if it's an argument in favor of Nagato. The logical leaps and bounds Itachi fans make is just incredible.
Also, you effectively dodged the question lol
@wallywest7800 I'm not trying to answer the question about who the statement was referring to, just showing that Itachi is way stronger than Pain. Of course Nagato can manhandle KCM Naruto and Bee, Nagato is far stronger than any individual path. But that's my whole point. Itachi is competing with Nagato and KCM Naruto, characters that massively outscale Pain in speed and AP. I never mentioned tsukuyomi, the paths have shown literally zero defense against genjutsu. I doubt Itachi would even need sharingan genjutsu to shut down any path he wants on command. It doesn't matter that there are multiple paths when they're individually fodder to Itachi. Also if you're stronger than the person casting edo tensei, you're brought back WEAKER. Alive Itachi is stronger than his edo self
@@matthewclark1857 That's the problem, you can't answer the question. Then you can't claim that Itachi is stronger than Pain simple.
Your entire point is incorrect because I clearly said "alive" Itachi. Nagato is Pain.
You don't have to mention Tsukuyomi, I mentioned it in my original post. The Paths only encountered a legendary sage toad genjutsu. All genjutsu don't function the same. If Tsukyomi isn't going to work why would lesser genjutsu work? You are benchmarking Itachis genjutsu off of MA and PAs frog song. That's disingenuous, they don't function the same way. And even if for some reason he can, you have yet to answer the question or prove if he can do it to Six bodies at once.
Show me where the paths of Pain were defeated by VISUAL genjutsu. You can't. That's Itachi's bread and butter.
"Individually fodder to Itachi" Except you don't have the feats to prove that. The Deva path alone is stronger than Itachi. Add in the other five and Itachi simply gets overwhelmed. Again, show me in terms of feats that alive Itachi is above Pain.
"Alive Itachi is stronger than his edo self" His feats don't back that up.
Alive Itachi is barely alive, that's like the most laughable thing I have heard.
Again, you are dodging the question, like all Itachi fans seem to do when I ask it.
