something I wanna say about itachi vs orochimaru is, although its clear that orochimaru knows itachi is superior by a significant amount, i don't think its as easy as everyone says. its true that with just his base 3 tom sharingan itachi was able to paralyze orochi, but in both manga and anime orochimaru was still able to fight it off. he was shaking and slowing starting breaking through, before itachi cleverly cut off his arm so he couldn't weave signs. I think it shows itachi cant just simply over power him, he has to out smart him too (which he totally does) and that's what convices orochimaru he could never take him, and that its a bad idea to face him. even in the sasuke fight, people always say "itachi beat orochimaru's strongest jutsu in a second", which is true, but itachi was also using his strongest jutsu/final trump card. and again, orochimaru had no idea itachi had the toska blade. orochimaru is used to not having worrying about getting stabbed/sliced, so in his mind it was ok for the big susano sword to impale him. he even laughed like in his head he was thinking "big brain itachi's best play was to stab me lol", then was like "oh shit". itachi knew all this about orochimaru, so again he outplayed him. if they both actually prepared to fight each other, and had full intel I think orochimaru would still lose, but im just saying he'd do a really good job in making itachi try. he'd have to use the MS to properly kill him. oral rebirth for Amaterasu, orochimaru knowing to be careful not to fall for genjutsu, and DO NOT let the toska blade touch you.

[@angevinegangevine7959]

100% agree with this take. Oro was 100% confident he could kill itachi until he found out about the spirit weapons. Oro might even tire Itachi out with Edo tensei before engaging.

i disagree with the yasaka beads thing... just because it helped destoy chibaku tensei doesnt mean it did a third of the work, nothing suggest those beads are as strong as a rasenshuriken or a bijuu bomb, which probably did most of the work whenever those beads are used, even when madara uses them, they never do anything impressive , tsunade tanked it, i dont think she could tank a bijuu bomb or a rasenshuriken which destroy your cells. i would say that those beads are magnitudes weaker than a tailed beast bomb or a rasenshuriken

This video does a great job tbh. The difficulty with doing Itachi versus matchups is that he has an incredible battle IQ and weird win cons. He’s the type of shinobi who could lose 90% of the fight to let you walk into a trap and win in the end. I feel like power scalers have made versus matchups “Speed & AP” and that’s literally it.

[@zacharyhill2124]

What a lot people don't like bringing up about Itachi is that strategically, across the world of Naruto, he is the one who knows how to find secrets, pull strings and ultimately out ninjas pretty much everyone in the narutoverse.

[@SamuelQuaye-zs4uc]

Its not exclusive to him. Several shinobi are capable of that. Minato, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Sssuke, Orochimaru etc. They can all find secrets.

[@DrippUP]

Itachi didnt "tank" the Kirin. We cant see exactly what happened but we know that it hit him in some capacity because it blew his clothes off and burned his skin and he outright says it was his susanoo that that saved him otherwise he would surely be dead from that attack. I getthat youre syaing he tanked it via the susanoo but obviously some damage went through the thing. I also dont think Itachi was 100% holding back on every aspect of that fight..like did he hold out a bit? sure but that whole narrative of he completely held back just invalidates ANY of Sasukes feats in that fight and i do not think that was the intended way to view the fight. If Itachis goal was to test Sasukes abilities to take care of himself youre not going to get a fair assessment by completely holding back (i understand the secondary goal of the fight was to remove the seal) I am pretty sure that Sasuke legitimately busted that Tsukuyomi, with a base sharingan - and Zetsus dialogue about the rock and kunai throwing thing basically confirms that Sasuke is simply a superior Sharingan user, The rigged shuriken - i dont see why Itachi would just allow that , makes no sense.. yes he was able to percieve it but we have seen Sharingan users before be able to percieve things and not react to it (sasuke vs naruto) like he was mid air and Itachi is displayed witha thought bubble on the panel which means hes obviously talking to himself - or us the reader and not sasuke so why would he lie about that to himself? makes no sense.. Sasuke caught him lacking with that rigged shuriken for sure. and no matter what anybody says or feels the fact is this - that Kirin was the death of Itachi , he was cornered.. his only options were A. take the hit and die or B. put up the susanoo and burn the rest of his chakra to live a bit longer.. but in either of those scenarios it ends with Itachi dying. So i would say flat out the Kirin is the reason Itachi died I think the whole "holding back" thing gets misrepresented. Like if Itachi just busted out the fuckin susanoo as soon as Sasuke walked in and totsuk abladed him then ya he would have neg diffed Sasuke but he wasnt going to do that , yes he held out on usig certain abilities but he still used shit the tsukuiyomi and amaterasu on sasuke and i dont think id call that holding back because Sasuke again, broke the tsukuyomi and Sasuke also slipped from that Amaterasu with the snake skin shedding jutsu thing...Itachi didnt "let" Sasuke break tsukuyomi or allow sasuke to slip through that crack to get the amaterasu off himself. the Sasuke downplay is just crazy as hell by the fandom for this fight and thats only because its Itachi who is extremely overhyped. People say Itachi straight washed Kakashi and its like bruh did you veven read the fight? Kakashi was a step ahead of Itachi the entire time until Itachi busted out the tsukuyomi which nobody knew wtf that was or even existed, kakashi wouldnt have tried to tank that shit. and in the 2nd fight Kakashi also tricked Itachi into using Tsukuyomi on a mud clone - 30% itachi clone or not he was outsmarted on both occasions by Kakashi .. like the meat riding is crazy for Itachi. IDK if its canon or not but when Itachi and Juzo fought the mizukage Itachi was literally about to die if juzo didnt sacrifice himself - and itachis amaterasu didnt kill kagura nor did itachi capture him, he ran.. like buddy has taken some L's lets stop the bullshit. he wasnt all that cracked. but fr soem of yall really need to go re-read kakashi vs itachi 1 ..kakashi knew which clone was the exploding one while itachi did not know which clone was the water clone but i get it..everyones just gonna say oh he probably planned that and it was all an act - im not even sure if that point in the series kishimoto knew how he was going to write itachiso im taking that fight at face value and ya it wasnt no straight up stomp down on kakashi

4th Raikage vs the Akatsuki (tiers or 1v1) would be hype. Specifically the 4th raikage from the 5ks. Keeping how he fights as a character intact and not putting a controller up his butt so he V2 blitzes off rip.

[@Virhtue]

Could do it for sure!

[@grantwilliams93]

@Virhtue cool, you make great content. If you do it, id like to throw in my 2 cents that Samehada did absorb lightning chakra off of Bee's swords in their fight. So to me, unless you argue the raikage kills Kisame in 1 hit(he COULD, but only with a v2 blitz decapitation off rip), I tend to see that fight gothe same as vs Bee. Where Kisame is absorbing insane amounts of chakra off the Raikage and ripping off the lightning cloak until the bubble comes out. Kisame did absorb nearly all of gyuki and Bee's chakra. I don't really know why there is this point about lightning vs Kisame when in chapter 470 we see samehada take the lightning chakra right off Bee's sword before it gets stabbed.

I doubt Obito can beat itachi in fact itachi has already watched Obito travel technique and he broke through his genjutsu as a kid with no sharingan.

[@Musa-M8]

Few people actually know that Itachi has Intel on Obito.

[@Just_Tet]

First off, fire ass video holy. Itachi being under EMS sasuke never really sat right with me. When sasuke gets to the war he’s pretty much KCM2 level, whether or not he’s below or not, he’s at that level. Just before that sasuke was fighting directly with Itachi and was kind of a step behind most the time. On top of that, Itachi is quite literally basically forcefully running a play. He’s not even really tryna fight, more less just set up a circumstance. Which everyone is aware of. But we also NEVER see itachi go full power. We don’t even see him use his other 2 nature releases which undoubtedly both boost his AP. Even just a basic wind style with his fire style (which is already boasted as the hottest) would amp it a ton. Which he could also use to speed up the spread of his Amaterasu. In a pseudo flame control kinda way. Anyway, short rant my bad, EMS sasuke is compared to whichever version of itachi u want to use, but again, itachi was always held back. Feats beat narratives. And it’s also no doubt at this point that itachi still has better IQ and BIQ than sasuke. So idk it’s always hard for me to agree with sasuke surpassing him. Also, idk if anyone has ever talked about this, but do u think that the stronger the eyes of an uchiha, the stronger the EMS? So what I mean is, since itachi peaked his 3 tomoe and MS, would that make sasukes EMS stronger, rather if itachi had a fresh MS and not peaked 3 tomoe? Would make sense to me but they never really say

[@Virhtue]

Thank you!

[@8ferarry8]

Also, wait, how did you go through the Deidara fight without addressing C4? Thats the most busted jutsu in Deidaras arsenal and we just ignore it? Does Susano have an air filter? How does Itachi counter C4? Sure he is generaly much stronger than Deidara, but you cant just name Itachis best hacks and not Deidaras.

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

I think its clear from the framing that Obito and Itachi were relative. Based on manga panels, conversations and logic this has to be the case Itachi was still probably "weaker" but kind of like a Piccolo vs Goku 23rd Boudokai but not so much like Piccolo vs Raditz in the saiyan saga Any further of a gap wouldn't make narrative sense. Obito would've just killed Itachi and went through with his plans. Hell he wouldve sent Pain to to it but Obito didnt This is more of a 6/4 matchup

[@Steckdose_]

Although I don't think it's impossible do personally have an issue with the Yasaka no Magatama being a suppressed Version when used against the Shibaku Tensei. 1st Itachi would need to scale not just his Own attack, but also analyze Killer Bee's Biju Bomb (Which he never saw), Naruto's Rasenshuriken (Which he didn't see thrown but only slammed into the dog) and the Shibaku Tensei (Which he also probably never saw) at the same time while already forming his own attack to properly adjust the amount of strength needed to succeed. 2nd The Armored Form might just not be able to use them, similarly to how Sasuke Switches his Bow from the Semi-Armored Form for a Sword in the Fully Armored Version. So the higher Armor could imply a more limited Range to the Susanoo in exchange, which might also be one of the reasons Itachi only uses it when he needs either the Durability/Mirror or is close enough to actually stab someone with the Totsuka Blade. 3rd The Yasaka no Magatama used against Kabuto are all single beads spread out from each other, while the ones used against the Shibaku Tensei are revolving around each other and even sort of connected, which could mean that even though fewer beads are used, that the technique could actually be more advanced.

Kakashi relative to Kakuzu? No one blitzed Kakashi like Itachi did? You gotta reread that fight. Not only did Kakuzu thoroughly beat kakashi, he did so 2 times. And Kakashi was saved both times. once was a partial blitz and the other was a total blitz of 3 people, Kakashi included, simultaneously, even though he was right in front of him. Neither one took more than 2 moves. No one dominated Kakashi like Kakuzu did. Itachi still wins, but Kakuzu certainly is not in the low tier of Akatsuki. Kishimoto planned for him to dojo storm the leaf for fucks sake. Don't be a hater, bro. great video, tho. except for the Kakuzu and Pain slander.

[@manny9191]

Good vid, was entertaining to watch. Honestly against pain i think its 60/40 to itachi, pain has many chances to kill itachi, but it also goes the other way round, Itachi has an advantage because he knows of most of pains abilities and capabilities as he was gaining intel on them. best example was how he countered nagato without intel, i mean if theres the statement that if Jiraya knew pains abilities he would have won, well itachi is stronger than Jiraya so wouldnt he have a good chance. Also Itachi knows about nagato so will send a clone to look for him and i believe a clone is enough for konan. For obito, i think he recognises itachis strength, but also he knows damn well that Obito has an end plan to achieve, whilst itachi will happily die if it means dragging obito with him, or making sure Obito will recieve long lasting damage lol. Also as a randon side note, didnt itachi perception blitz kcm naruto when he went in the air and naruto didn't notice?? :0

[@christopherdarlington2846]

vhirtue all your opinions are valid sick itachi beats pain but may die due to exhaustion. alive pain vs itachi ,the best outcome for pain is dead, Regarding obito for me its a draw but 6/10 times obito wins , itachi can perform both izanagi and izanami. and dats how he breaks out of chibaku tensei. my reason why I think obito wins against itachi is because itachi seems to think if he gets ems he will surpass obito and lead the uchiha , in the fight vs sasuke , but obitos only win con is kamui and it may be a a shadow explosive clone ,its itachi tbh and he is the guy who is best in figuring out kamui and obito observing him knows that this guy has shisuis eye and more tricks up his sleeve like spirit weapons thats wh he doesnt underestimate itachi , Also vhirtue strongest does not mean u will win in a fight, to me it meant hitting power or physical strength and for me it was a reference to pain he is the strongest in the akatsuki but will not win in a 1v1 vs obito or itachi

Although it is mostly cannon to the anime if anything but is backed up in the manga by how zetsu describes Itachi despite knowing of pain and obito and the second fanbook covering all the way upto five kage summit just stating Itachis power surpasses everything.

[@Virhtue]

That’s solid asf

[@___________0Z0X]

I love your videos man, and I've been enjoying this one. But I had to stop watching to comment real quick. I like our explosion Artist terrorist quite a bit and agree that he is underrated. However, the evidence you presented to show that he is in another league then Sasori doesn't really hold water. Firstly, Orochimaru was just trying to rile up Naruto. Orochimaru was a villain who enjoyed torturing people. It makes much more sense for him to say anything to psychologically torment his opponents then actually tell the truth. If we heard his inner thoughts then there would be something here, but as it stands we can't assert anything one way or another. Secondly, the Sakura point. Sakura was suffering from the poison of the ninetails chakra. Not to mention that her and Naruto were mental nerfed. It is disingenuous to compare her to the version that fought Sasori. Now this doesn't mean that Sasuke wasn’t stronger than them, he totally was. In fact, he beat his aktsuki member by himself while Sakura and Naruto needed a lot of help with their fights. So basically, it's incorrect to assert that Deitara is in another league than his partner. It is fair to say that he is stronger, but the two of them seem to be quite relative, and I quite like that. Every other duo has a pretty large gap in power with their partners.

Itachi did not”blitz” nagato. That man stayed as far away from him as possible. Blinded the summons eyes he was distracted. Three a smoke bomb (which apparently the reningan can’t see through). And THEN went strait for totsuka blade. Also it’s debatable whether nagato even had any chakras left after the chibaku tensei. He could have been back to being controlled by kabuto slow ass and just didn’t move. He literally sat there. Itachi did not engage nagato in any 1v1. He does not scale to him. He needed help just to get out of chibaku tensei had it not been for bee and Naruto itachi Edo would be sealed again.

[@Virhtue]

He stayed as far away as possible? He literally ripped his arm off😭

[@treylearns634]

@@Virhtue yea after utilizing the fact that he was distracted. Itachi didn’t run the 1’s with nagato in the conventional sense. He used Naruto and bee to get the upper hand. Kabuto was more focused on extracting bijuu than itachi. Which is how he got any hits in at all. There’s nothing itachi can really do to nagato in a fair fight. He has counters for almost everything

[@whispr_2ME]

Reread the fight. Blinding the summons with kunai before chopping Nagato makes the blitz even worse. Nagato fails to show any sign of reacting to either parts of the attack until after he's been split. If you only watched the anime, then you don't know that Nagato never even turned his head towards the oncoming attack in the manga. The only sign of reaction from him is an exclamation mark *after* the chop lands. The sequence of events in the manga is *really* bad for Nagato; it does not portray him as being even kind of relative to Itachi. Smoke bombs are a basic ninja tool. If that's too much for Nagato's rinnegan, then it is what it is. It just means that Itachi's easiest win con is a smoke bomb. Also, Nagato absorbed a full v2 chakra cloak from B and a rasengan from Naruto. There is absolutely zero way for you to prove Nagato was out of chakra.

[@treylearns634]

@@whispr_2ME wrong. Everything that Edo nagato does is basically under kabutos rule. Kabuto doesn’t even know how to use the reningan or even the full scale of its abilities. Kabuto literally goes “ oh wait there’s that one jutsu that planetary one” not even knowing the arsenal. To sit there and act like kabuto use of reningan is superior to the ACTUAL original user is absolutely asinine. Again the summons are irrelevant if kabuto has all eyes focused on extracting bijuu. Everyone sits here and acts like it’s a fair fight when it wasn’t. When itachi beats nagato in a fair 1v 1 then call me. He had the best two support in the verse or at least the top 7. He didn’t do anything on his own

[@treylearns634]

@@whispr_2ME also it’s not that it’s “too much” for nagatos reningan. It’s just not able to see through it. There are advantages and disadvantages to every jutsu. A simple shinra tensei could have dispelled the smoke. But then nagato would never lose. So narratively he had to get stabbed

[@grimreaper15]

You were talking like Sakura fought Sasori 1v1, Sakura would have lost horribly 1v1 and so would Chiyo, they only won with thier combined efforts and even then it was close. Also, you said Sasuke beat Deidara handily when he nearly died and only lived because he couldn't die or the story would die, he was so low on chakra that he was basically helpless but then suddenly has enough chakra to not only summon Manda but also put him in a genjutsu, get in his mouth and then reverse summon Manda in like 1-2 seconds if that, when the source of the explosion was only like 10 feet from him.

Obito was cautious of Itachi. He acknowledged his strength but in all honesty one of Itachis threats didn't work when his amaterasu snuck him. My guy still survived. So idk Itachi may push Obito heavily in the fight but Obito has an out due to how busted kamui is.

[@remington_acr1651]

Before I say give my initial thoughts on Itachi vs Obito I’d like to say that I agree with Itachi winning 3, maybe 4 times outta 10. He definitely can defeat Obito but he’d have to work for it for sure. One thing that people don’t consider when talking about Itachi vs Obito is that Obito despite what he has in his arsenal is a very one dimensional fighter who relies heavily on kamui. Now whether this is bad writing or what not isn’t the point. That alone is not enough to realistically defeat the likes of Itachi, who’s already observant and slippery as is. If far less intelligent characters can deduce how kamui works after seeing it once or twice then Itachi certainly can do the same and likely will. And when you factor in just how versatile Itachi’s own arsenal is, it’s not a stretch to say that he can catch Obito off guard with one of his one shot abilities but I digress. As overrated as Itachi can be, I don’t think people give him enough credit when it comes to matching up against Obito.

Good work for the editing and audio Itachi presentation : 4:27 He maintained it for what, 5 min ? You can clearly see it drains him alot of chakra 4:36-4:47 Yikes, what a way of thinking. A "graph" doesn't work like that 6:46 For the disease its mainly headcanon, we have no intel about it and you're not a doctor aswell. He said aids.... 7:31 Itachi rain level, he stand no chance vs Pain 18:46 Hell nah, first of all your point is oriented to a disease you're unaware of, second, edo itachi doesn't have blood. All the time he's been hit, only paper appeared. The only Edo Tensei who didnt show only paper when damaged is Kakuzu with his strings. So no, it doesn" support what you said at all. The only reason why ET Itachi is so formidable is bcs his illness is finally cured. 9:37 Yeah peak Itachi ~ beginning EMS Sasuke, I agree, not the sick version tho 10:14 Difference between sneak attack and a blitz, pls D: Low tier : 11:21 Rival ? o_O Well I don't know how Kakashi would have done even to defeat Hidan at that time, he can but wont be easy at all. Hidan can tank anything he has, they are relative in combat speed. But yeah let's say " rival " for Hidan even tho Kakashi would outsmart him. For Kakuzu, manga or anime he was always shown to be above him. They fought once in the manga and Kakashi was defeated in 2 pages, 2 !! If you want to use anime to scale them, first of Kakuzu has the upper hand : He disarm a 3 tomoe sharingan user in close combat, he made Kakashi fall bcs of a high kick, he throw him away 3 times, Kakashi had to open the first gate ( rock lee move ) vs a kakuzu water clone = 10% of chakra from Kakuzu. If you use both anime or manga, it's one sided, Kakuzu dominates him with few efforts. And Konan is basically a counter to Kakashi aswell. 11:34 Not that long, barely a minute. Would have used Kamui if reinforcements wasn't there.... 11:41 You have to explain to me when Itachi perception blitz this Kakashi cause i have noclue and you dont say it 12:08 Edo Itachi yes, not alive. 13:57 That's hilarious bcs Deidara dodged it... and you consider him as a low tier so this point doesnt make any sense 14:09 Oh god, Sakura doesnt scale to Sasori, Chiyo manipulated her to not be overwhelm. Sakura would have died twice or 3 time vs close attacks, if she was relative it wouldnt have happend so many times. The only moment she was relative was at the beginning of the 100 puppets bcs more he have, less he is efficient... Naruto would have never defeated Kakuzu at that time by himself, that's why he was rescued...Plus it's not the same naruto vs hebi sasuke since he gained 20 years of training + was slightly kyubi amped. Well he can think he can't beat Sasuke by himself, he would have not defeated Kakuzu by himself aswell lol since he got helped and kakuzu was weakened. Never understood that weird argument, it's so... low 14:39 Agree for Hidan, he most likely get hit by amatearasu. For Kakuzu or Konan I don't agree, they are fast individual, they can both " dismember " themselves or block with strings/paper. Kakuzu can throw the amaterasu back to Itachi with his wind style or block the technique with earth or any other element, so it doesnt go to him. The battle vs those 2 isn't that braindamaged 15:00 I deceive you but yes, Kakuzu's fire can clearly outmatch the Itachi's fireball, one is comparable to a portion of a large forest and the other one to a individual human being. " But but the anniversary thingy said it's hotter ", the size gap between those too, the destructive power aswell is so significant that it wont change a clue. Amatearasu should stop it tho but would be a waste of chakra. For the Tsukoyomi I agree, if he can use it vs Kakuzu ( veteran warrior btw ) it would work but the hearts would still remain since they are independant and remember what happend when Itachi used for he first time this genjutsu vs Sasuke ? He kneeled to the floor bcs it hurt his sight/eye, the fight still remains and Kakuzu isn't even dead yet, just under genjutsu from your scenario. How you want to visual genjutsu something without eyes ? Doesnt make any sense, the only time ( i know ) itachi genjutsu an unalived being is from a filler ( mecha naruto ) but thats not canon except if your scenario from the novel you dont explain works. Explain how Itachi " piece them up easily " tho, they all can fly ( manga and anime ), how he reach them ? Shuriken wont work, they survived Choji's giant attack. How would he attack when he's being attacked ? Will he launch Amaterasu while it can be thrown back at him via wind heart ? The fight isn't that easy, Kakuzu is a big counter to Itachi. Can tank anything he has ( diamond morph or block with strings ), out stamina him, outlives him, can do surprise underground attack ( even Madara was caught by surprise ), out range him too, all genjutsu wont work BESIDES Koto and Tsuko. Basic genjutsu wont work bcs the heart will simply wake him up and have 5 different chakra system in his body... Genjutsu works through disrupting the chakra network, my boy have 5 and he cant genjutsu the hearts. 15:35 The argument doesnt work bcs Kakuzu have to go to the beach area wich is really far away from ET Itachi and Nagato ( forest )... And he wasnt even late, your argument just support it 15:49 Lol its disingenuous bcs its Kakuzu and not a favorite character, we got it champ 15:56 Caught off guard ? So how did he react to move his head to the side ? You're the one disingenuous here ( god, that word is hard lmao ) 16:13 He doesnt care, he know they are fodder and wont do anything harmful to him. How I know that ? Oh wow Kakuzu's databook states he can deduct an opponent if they're strong or not 16:20 Oh wow Itachi did so well in the academy ( best feats i guess ? ) while Kakuzu canceled shikamaru's 2 week plan under few seconds 16:37 Implied when ? I don't even see sick Itachi defeat Konan, he has nothing and while he tries he will simply exhaust himself while Konan would never get hit. That's why you totally ignored the Konan vs Itacih section, you are naked. To resum the low tier : 😀: " Hey guys come on, you know ! Those are the low tiers " Yeah the argumentations is pretty poor Mid tier : 17:48 I was wondering why but you said Sakura is relative to Sasori lol... 18:07 Yikes, Sakura had Chiyo in order to SURVIVE vs Sasori and they wouldnt even be able to do so without antidotes... It's a different Naruto the one Hebi met and vs Kakuzu but whatever, you will just say " Im tripping " even tho its stated and shown. 18:57 That's an argument, could work even tho i dont see Deidara > sasori 20:15 What...? XD. So you're saying that Deidara is stronger than Sasori bcs he faces a Kazekage ? My boy, Sasori is the Kazekage slayer, he participated in 3 of their death out of 4. Doesn't make any sense 20:32 Yeah Deidara got stronger while Itachi got weaker bcs of his illnesss... or as you say " aids " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That part was hilarious ! 20:52 You have to explain how Itachi deals with long range attack since he doesnt have the same kit like hebi sasuke. To me the Deidara vs Itachi fight is a clock minute, one for the stamina cause he can only block until c2 with susano'o and the other one dont have infinite clay, the first who drop lost. 21:46 Even tho Deidara cant match sasuke's combat speed in close combat, he can still react wich is really good. 22:35 If he does that, Sasuke just leave man the battlefield, what's the point lol ? Vs flying ennemies its a good arguments not vs someone in the ground. Just like the akatsuchi moment... 23:47 Do you know the range of Tsukoyomi ? Pretty sure if enough distance, Deidara can react to amaterasu, his amaterasu is not that fast and Deidara is quite talented. Yeah Deidara should deal with basic genjutsu but not Tsuko 24:51 I'm curious to know where its stated that amaterasu cant be evaded since SO MUCH character did evade 25:28 Wtf is he saying 😂😂 after the doctor part, the math teacher. We dont know how much chakra it will cost to alive Itachi since this technique seems very powerfull, pretty sure it will drain him aswell bcs he have to use it while his susano'o is activated 25:55 Stop the cap we cant quantify how strong alone Yasaka magatama is and you compare it to a KCM RS and a TBB fully transformed. It's essentially those 2 who did the most destructive prowess vs the CT 26:27 Sasori stated he rippef off all his organs to be a puppet, the eyes are organs so.... visual genjutsu wownt be affective 26:48 Hilarious, cant dodge a fuma shuriken but will dodge the tons of poisonous needles or microscopical sand attacks ( wich are also poisonous ) but I'm disingenuous ( gosh its so hard to type ! ) since we talk about ITACHI THE GENIUS who died at 21. 27:00 Oh, OH THATS VERY LAME 🤣🤣. I thought you did the fight 1 by 1, but no ! You did Konan/Hidan/Kakuzu vs Itachi and now Deidara/Sasori vs Itachi at the same time, wow it's crazy.

Genjutsu shouldn’t work on Sasori, as it effects the cranial nerve, which Sasori doesn’t have. Now whether Kishi would actually stay consistent with this, in real fight idk, but theoretically Sasori is immune. If Genjutsu doesn’t work, Itachi will likely need Susanoo and Amaterasu just to bust Hiroku, after that it really depends on how Sasori chooses to fight; if he use Iron-Sand to cover himself in a defensive shield, there isn’t much Itachi can do as he can’t get though IS. Also if this is Sick Itachi, he will quickly not have the reflexes to evade Sasori’s traps as he had trouble evading a basic Shuriken trap form Sasuke after using Mangekyo once, and all Sasori needs is a scratch Or Itachi sniffing the poison gas, IS can also bypass Susanoo by targeting underneath it. So if Sasori is smart he is horrendous match for Itachi and should win. If he doesn’t fight smart he could loose it Amaterasu or Totosuka to the heart canister

@@Virhtue konan almost won (some would argue she actually would've won without bs) against obito. that alone puts her a level above low tier imo. she should be in the same ballpark as deidara

[@3rdEyeLyoto]

Wait sasori/deidara stronger than kakuzu?

[@Virhtue]

Yeah!

[@YungKonquera]

Hiv dont make you bleed from the mouth nor other symptoms that itachi had. Wtf r u talking about?

[@Virhtue]

Brother that’s from what he caught

Greatest takeaway from itachi immaculate character is to wear protection

Love this💀

I really like your videos, but hearing you slurp spit every other sentence make it really hard to watch

[@Virhtue]

This was an older video, it wasn’t something I could help; reading 6000 words doesn’t help

[@danieladolphe2227]

itachi probably only didn’t go after Obito because he probably Obito had a perfect Susanno

[@Virhtue]

Ahh, yeah

[@Virhtue]

You don’t need two for the Susanoo, Itachi and madara use it blind and Madara uses it with no eyes

[@empiresoldier1]

The paths of pain would be a bit much for itachi. Konan can push itachi, she gets such a bad rep. We only see her go against jariya and obito...two of the strongest characters and even pain said that jariya could have won if he knew how pain worked.

[@Virhtue]

These do not equate to

[@benjaminschneider9147]

Obito and Pain destroy Itachi. Simply for the fact they tire him out. Prime Itachi wipes hard

[@funkyghost4771]

hot take but pain and itatchi scale above orange mask obito. his best feats are from the 5 kage summit (which really isnt that impressive and could have been done easily by both pain and itatchi) as well as his white mask feats which just consist of him losing to minato and getting a single hype statement. Considering the leaf village as a whole thought FUGAKU UCHIHA could have put the 9 tails under a genjutsu i dont feel that feat is very credible either. this isnt to say obito isnt one of the strongest in the verse but he is more of a cunning manipulator than a power house like itatchi or pain.

Well you’re just flat out wrong

They also were pretty bias, such as Yashiro

He probably just ripped his arm off or something’s

[@victorbezerra7783]

I'm a big fan of Itachi, im truly am, but it's just impossible to Itachi beats Nagato. Pain is almost a God, and his abilities are so difficult to deal with to almost every single Ninja.

[@Virhtue]

Then give a counter argument

[@victorbezerra7783]

​@@Virhtue Even if we supposed Itachi wasn't sick anymore, he still didn't have much crakra to face such a difficult opponent like Pain. He couldn't use to much of his eyes abilities, otherwise we could became blind and a battle against Pain, it's like a marathon, not like a hit, you have to be able to battle for a long time and need many tools and analysis. Itachi has the analysis ability, but doesn't have the crakra and the strength to fight for a long period of time. Pain have so many advantages at his favor, many eyes to deflect the attacks, being able to resurrect his other body's, the ability to absorve chakra from attacks, the Almighty push, many invocations etc
