[@lightningpastry2153]

Not just that - I think Zetsu said it during the Itachi fight: it doesn't matter how powerful the tool is if it's not wielded properly. Sasuke is only looking left and right and ignoring attacks from above and below. He's being attacked from all different directions and his Sharingan can see Bee moving, but it doesn't give a tutorial on how to counter his moves. That's up to Sasuke's mind to come up with a strategy and his body to move and react fast enough not to die. And Sasuke isn't used to fighting opponents who are faster than he is.

[@freelands8355]

[@stitch2642]

@@lightningpastry2153 I was thinking it was something similar to that. The sharingan granted him the ability to see all future attacks/movements but sasuke would need faster reflexes or more strength to keep up with the abilities the sharingan grants him; good writing for an ability such as that, not too strong and has a reasonable flaw behind it as well.

[@MrAwesomeMatty]

This is why I love characters like Killer Bee, Rock Lee, and Might Guy. Extraordinarily talented fighters who are so skilled when it comes to Taijutsu (and Kenjutsu, shoutout to kobi2643 for the correction) in both form and speed, that not even Sharingan users are guaranteed to keep up. Just because you can see the attacks coming, it doesn't mean you can stop it. Really speaks volumes on how good ninja like these guys are.

I just love how Bee clearly knows the advantages of the Sharingan and instead of trying to plan around it, he instead straight up overwhelms it with sheer speed, unpredictability and skill.

[@Zangamarth]

He isn't just overwhelming it - he's literally turning its strength to weakness. Sasuke is insanely reliant on the Sharingan, Bee can tell, so he weaponized that reliance against Sasuke by overloading it and throwing in fake or unnecessary moves. Sharingan works best on efficient opponents focusing killing intent into each strike - when you start adding in random BS, it still tracks it whether or not that's what you should be doing.

[@ShouryaRathore]

@@Zangamarth "throwing in fake or unnecessary moves".Thats your headcanon,Bee was simply faster and a much better swordfighter,all the sharingan does is help predict the moves,just because you can see them coming doesn't mean your body and mind are fast enough to dodge or counter them.Sasuke got outclassed,Bee didnt even need to use any tactics here,it was just pure skill and speed at play

[@SmokieNColors]

Sasuke body doesn't have enough speed to dodge all the attacks the sharingan was processing, thats why he was getting stabbed, he can dodge 5 attacks but doesn't have time for the other 3

[@kendivedmakarig215]

@@Zangamarth Simple. Bee is a lot more experienced fighter than Sasuke that's why Sasuke can't read Bee's moves. Sharingan is just a multiplier and only gives you the heads up but it's useless if Sasuke is not that skilled than Bee. This is also the same with Sasuke vs Rock Lee which despite Sasuke having the Sharingan, he can't read Lee's moves since Lee is a lot faster and more skilled than him.

[@Oera-B]

​@@ShouryaRathore This is not a headcanon. At 0:50, Sasuke tracks all of Bee's blades, even though he could only realistically use 2 at a time. As a result, he can barely react to Killer Bee's next attack. What you're going against is quite literally observable in the fight.

[@narutoballard5557]

Bee outclassed this whole team nearly killed sasuke and still got away this has to be Sasuke's biggest L

[@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954]

It seems that way when you ignore/overlook context. Sasuke was still weakened from the Itachi battle (chapter 415, page 12), and held back because he needed to capture him alive for the Biju. Once he stopped holding back so much he easily turned the tables. MS Genjutsu had Bee on the ground paralyzed, and Amaterasu devastated them when they completely transformed. Bee then run away because he was low on stamina, against Sasuke, who he deemed as one of the toughest he ever fought (c419, p17)

[@ItsPatBtw]

[@dantewilson182]

@@ItsPatBtw I wouldn't say better shinobi. At least Bee never overused dangerous techniques that led him to be physically disabled. Even Kakashi knew this, making sure to use the Mangekyo sparingly. Sasuke overused his like a child eating candy & wound up blind in less than a day.

[@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954]

You're a prime example of why I commented. Given the slew of context and facts that are overlooked. 1) Bee was confined to the village for years. He never left, let alone fought anyone. Besides, unlike Naruto, he was on good terms with his Biju. Horrible comparison. 2) Aside from Danzo, Sasuke used his Mangekyo as a last resort. Hence not one-shotting Bee with Genjutsu and Amaterasu as soon as he saw him. He was forced to use it at the Summit against people he never intended to fight (Kage, bodyguards, Kakashi) because Tobi told Zetsu to snitch on him. Otherwise he would have remained unnoticed, and confronted Danzo on the way back to Konoha as planned. 3) Kakashi overused his Sharingan all the time. Hence being unable to move/in the hospital after facing Zabuza, Deidara, Hidan/Kakuzu, and Sasuke. He should be blind from spamming it during the war. 4) Sasuke also used his Mangekyo already knowing he could overcome blindness with EMS.

For me, this is the best fight in all of Naruto and the best character introduction. Within a couple of scenes, we were shown an incredibly dangerous and at the same time charismatic hero. I still remember how shocked it was for me that the fight, which I imagined as a stage for demonstrating Sasuke's powerup, would turn out to be so fatal for him. You might expect the jinchuuriki to be dangerous in his beast mode, but seeing him in the base chopping Sasuke was just mesmerizing.

it's probably a subtle hint on how Sasuke went from cool headed in Hebi to lowkey insane "JUST SPAM AMATERASU AND SUSANOO ON IT" during early Taka and 5 Kage Summit.

It was always really interesting to see Sasuke get knocked down a peg so outstandingly at this point in the series.

We see him so calm and collected while facing Deidara, and he consistently made Deidara look foolish. And he stayed, for the majority of the fight, pretty calm while facing Itachi, despite Itachi having planned out the entire battle before it happened.

Idc how u write ur story and what plot devices u use as long as in the end it makes for a good story. And I feel like the way Kishimoto wrote Naruto made for a much better story than the way he wrote Sasuke. He makes the plot devices around Naruto work whereas for me personally Sasuke’s didn’t work as much and it kind of got annoying.

[@shawnfowles8588]

There's a lot of disadvantages to the Sharingan. For example, when Sasuke first fought Rock Lee. Sasuke was able to see what Rock Lee was going to do ahead of time, but Sasuke wasn't quick enough to keep up with Rock Lee so his Sharingan was futile. The Sharingan is also useless if you can't look into your opponent's eyes. For example, when Kakashi fought Zabuza the second time on the bridge and Zabuza used the Hidden Mist Jutsu.

[@SolaceMcfly]

@@shawnfowles8588 the first point makes no sense. Thats more sasuke not having the physical ability to keep up with lee's moves not his sharingan.

[@jinfra-]

@@shawnfowles8588 Neither of those are disadvantages. For the first point, if sasuke was just as good at taijutsu as lee, he would beat him thanks to the sharingan, it's not like sharingan slows you down. The second point, i wouldn't call a disadvantage either. I'd say that disadvantage is some sort of a drawback, situations where not having the ability would be better than using it. Strong attacks that make you vulnerable if they miss or using mangekyo sharingan too much and going blind because of it. So imo taking someone's advantage away =/= putting them at a disadvantage

He required 3 other people with unique abilities of their own to greatly enhance his resiliance in battle.

At the end of the day, Bee really didn't care about killing Taka, all he wanted was freedom from the village.

Unlike you I didn't ignore anything. I acknowledged the circumstances, and said what happened. Rather than take things from anyone like you hypocritically did (take Sasuke's teamates yet not Bee's. Without Hachibi he is one-shotted by Genjutsu or Amaterasu as soon as Sasuke sees him. There wouldn't even be a battle). After the sword assault failed. Bee said he was done playing. That he would beat them and go home - c412, p16. Hence the lariat and Bijudama. That failed, and was wrecked by Genjutsu and Amaterasu then ran away due to being low on stamina.

i love this part of the fight. It shows that the Sharingan, while powerful, only has the _reputation_ for being unbeatable. Here, especially at :48, you see that the Sharingan can be overwhelmed by sensory overload. Sasuke barely saw Bees' overhead kick until it was almost too late because his eyes were busy tracking Bees' sword movements. the Sharingan is still an eye and has a limit to how much it can process and track at once. Dealing with speed, technique, unconventional movements, switching attack patterns and multiple directions simply takes too much time to process.

There's the real kicker though. The human brain can only process so much and no matter how much you train, there is a hard limit on how quickly you can react, redirect and respond. The Sharingan simply outpaced it's bearer. Which lowkey also gives credit to Sasuke in spite of those limits, because I doubt many other Uchiha could have avoided Bee's relentless assault for as long as he did.

Shows you just how much skilled and smarter of a ninja Itachi is than Sasuke. EDIT: I didn’t mean the Sharingan can’t literally follow the movements but rather it’s counterproductive; Sasuke was trying to read every little muscle movement (micro view), Itachi just saw a mad man with 8 swords (macro).

He had him so wrapped up in the swords, he ignored the kicks/ hits that he got him with. When he saw the lightning attack, he knew the exact plan Sasuke was going for and how to wait and counter the sword with his own lightning strike at the last second, then used Sasuke's shock to immediately turn him into a pin cushion. He's not just moving the way he does to throw Sasuke out and confuse him, but because he has full control of the battlefield and has this kid exactly where he wants him, all without wasting any chakra. He also gets to see what his gang is made of/ what they could do by not finishing Sasuke out too quickly.

To Sasuke's credit, he lasted 24 seconds before his first injury.

He was also fighting while fatigued, and he hadn't mastered his Mangekyo and lost his curse mark, this was Sasuke at his weakest point in shippuden

I really like how this first presents as a moment where Sasuke is gonna flex. You haven't seen much of his growth from the time-skip yet, and you are just waiting for him to go ham. So to watch him get literally bullied had my crying.

[@michaelfernando8164]

The way sasuke was watching the swords being flung in the air and only in the last moment that bee's kick almost hit him is the moment where i think "damn, even the sharingan almost can't keep up"

[@twaggytheatricks4960]

I love how Sasuke started the fight with normal eyes, then as soon as Killer Bee jumps; he blinks, Sharingans show up, and _even then_ there's too many blades for him to track in what is probably the weirdest sword-fighting assault he's ever been through. Awesome stuff.

[@dumbass3843]

Not only that Bee knew how to throw him off the game

[@voilvelev6775]

I dont think its that the swords were too many, its that the movements were too weird and hard to read. I mean, who on earth fights like that? :D
