[@DavidLucian]

Itachi for me was one of the most unique characters from the series, he didn't go all out against anyone in his encounters, his calmness, intelligence and battle IQ experience are very underrated and unique in my opinion. ☯️

[@SpaNkeee]

not only in this series. Itachi is one of the most well written characters in TV series, period.

[@DavidLucian]

​@@SpaNkeee In my opinion 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 an 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 then 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. 🤷‍♂️ ☯️

[@SalmanulFarisi101]

Itachi si literally a package of Japanese Gods. I was stunned when I found out. Kishimoto truly made a masterpiece

[@DavidLucian]

​@@SalmanulFarisi101 What you have to remember, is that even in his battle with Sasuke, he has been fighting to lose. Itachi has always attempted to avoid conflict at all costs. He has to maintain his cover as an Akatsuki member, so he has to make viable excuses to avoid battle. When he says that fighting Jiraiya would have serious consequences, we know that he has an innate desire not to fight anyone at all, let alone a hero of the leaf, and he was a spy protecting Konoha from shadows. He could have killed Kakashi with ease. Kakashi even states that Itachi could have killed him, and wondered why he didn't. Knowing this, it is easy to see the pieces that point to a picture of Itachi that is devastatingly powerful in combat. In his confrontation with Asuma and Kurenai when he enters Konoha, we see him send Kurenai flying a large distance with a simple kick. We also see him deflect chidori, and snap Sasuke's arm like a twig with a single hand. He also sends Sasuke flying clear down the hallway with another kick in this fight. He is obviously a powerful, versatile, unpredictable and underrated taijutsu user. We know that he can kill with a glance using Tsukyoumi or Amaterasu, and become nearly invincible with his Susanoo. We see him use exploding clones, (it's his one of his unpredictability in his fighting way approach) powerful genjutsu not linked to his sharingan, ( with a single point of a one of his fingers) and making hand seals at insane speeds. He kicks the shit out of Kakashi and he barely moves. Tobi also tells us himself that Itachi could have killed him if it weren't for carefully guarded secrets. Orochimaru beats Tsunade and Jiraiya without the use of his arms. Granted, Jiraiya was drugged, but it's still the point. Orochimaru couldn't use seals at all. Itachi obliterated Orochimaru effortlessly. Itachi has been a step above from the beginning. In order for him to keep his cover in Akatsuki, he had to avoid conflict without arousing suspicion, and the best way to do that was to present himself as being much less powerful than he actually is. The one thing we have been able to see in detail, is his intelligence and unpredictability in his fighting way approach. Itachi has been shown to be able to plan events years in advance, to account for possible flaws in his plans with powerful contingencies, and to use every possibility to his advantage. Shikamaru plans a few hours in advance, and we label him a tactical genius. If that is the case, what does one even call Itachi? The only real flaws that Itachi possesses is a smaller chakra reserves, and his own morality which keeps him from gaining Eternal Mangekyo. But even the chakra is arguable. The techniques we see him use are enormously powerful, and would therefor have a huge chakra cost. I'm not going to say he is the most powerful character in the anime, but I am going to say he is definitely very very high on that list, and probably higher than most people seem to give him credit for. 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️☯️✌️

The fact Itachi requires long form videos to truly explain and understand him as a character just goes to show how amazingly well written his character was and the depth of his character. The whole story of Itachi and his influence in the world of Naruto is some of the best writing in anime, and the fact that it has many ties back to Japanese lore/gods makes it even more interesting and deep. Its still a shame that Itachi had to suffer an early death, I think in an alternative Naruto world, its easy to believe Itachi would have become the strongest Shinobi ever and probably a Hokage. Madara and Obito may have been stronger than Itachi in the absolute sense but neither were anywhere near as strong, skilled, wise, and intelligent as Itachi was when they were his age, if he had been able to live as long as Madara had he would have 100% been stronger than him and that goes for Obito too(obviously non 6 paths Obito).

Itachi likely would've been able to form a perfect Susano without his illness. He definitely would've been a pretty good match for Madara. The only advantage madara would've had was his rinnegan, which Itachi could've easily gotten his hands on. He also had Shisui's eye which could've cast a genjutsu onto madara without him even knowing it. These reasons are why he had to be given a terminal illness and die during his battle with Sasuke. Dude was too OP to let him fight Madara in the fourth great ninja war.

6:30 As much as Itachi sees the clan as "selfish" they were completely justified in how they felt and acted. The Uchiha Clan was a founding Clan of the village and instead of being held in equal regard to the Senju Clan they were instead viewed with scorn and suspicion. Hashirama treated them as equals and because of that they abandoned Madara and didn't heed his words. Tobirama on the other hand subjugated them under the Senju and relegated them to be the Police force where they did village's grunt work. Even then, the village government didn't trust them and instead placed the ANBU over their heads. As the years went by, Tobirama's own students inherited his distrust of the clan and went further with it. During the war they minimized Fugaku's contributions to the war and did the same during the Nine Tails attack despite them faithfully following orders and protecting the village. Then the clan was thrown under the bus and forced to move to the outskirts of the village where they were monitored by the villagers. When Fugaku said that this would impede their duties as the police force, Danzo basically told him to shut up as that was the job of the ANBU. This was a massive slap in the face. The village basically gaslit the clan and then conspired to have them eliminated on any pretense they could find. Hiruzen instead of trying to peacefully resolve things, just sat on his hands wishing for things to go away. And when a government ignores its people's grievances and petitions for redress this is what makes a revolution inevitable. Itachi far from being the "noble hero" who saved village was rather an instrument for the corrupt and evil machinations of the village's government.

Both secretly did missions to not only carry on everyone’s expectations, made sure loved one’s didn’t get involved, protect the whole society, but those same missions drained there mental health while society hated them because they didn’t know what they were actually doing.

This confirms or at least further backs my hypothesis that a user’s Susano’o and Mangekyou abilities are a reflection of their will. Obito’s Kamui had the ability to erase his body from the physical world into a new one, much like his plan. Madara’s Susano’o has two faces, one which faces his back, because he states it’s his weakness several times, and how even if he’s a leader, he’ll fail because he hates people standing behind him, yet those running behind him won’t catch up to him, a duality. Sasuke’s Amaterasu was a physical manifestation of his hate, his bond with his brother and his ability to control the flames of Amaterasu is his ability to take control of situations Itachi couldn’t take control of. His ability to take control of everything and see clearly, now that the illusion his brother had cast upon his life is no longer there.

In a worst case scenario, the Uchiha really could have just left the village, instead of waging war with it.

This just make me want to see how powerful Itachi could have been without his sickness. The man was slowly dying over the years and still manage to be one of the strongest shinobi of his time. With clones being a thing in the Narutoverse maybe we could see one made with his DNA in the future (I'd be satisfy with just a filler arc or movie).

I especially appreciated your insights into his relationship with Sasuke, and how his actions were ultimately motivated by love for his brother. I think Itachi is a very complex and tragic character, and I'm glad that you took the time to explore his story in such depth. Your video has definitely made me appreciate him more as a character, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

i have to admit my personal interpretation of orochimaru "looking for the totsuka blade" was always that he was looking for an uchiha with that sword, i mean he was OBSESSED with posessing an uchiha body forever basically so it made sense in my head, i figured he just knew alot more about the uchiha and their 'hidden powers' then he 1. let on to believe 2. then the wider audience knew

Itachi was not to smart in hindsight, he should have took a hint after what they did to Shisui.

[@mr.penguin4614]

he was forced to choose between two evils. he wasn't strong enough to stop certain things that were already in motion by the time he was forced to make a decision. instead he opted to save the village from another civil war in the hopes it would allow Sasuke to live a better life later on. although it was going to be pretty shit without his family, this would stop Sasuke from having to see real war and potentially death. it basically saved Sasuke, and gave him a noble cause to aspire too, in reclaiming honor and glory by defeating Itachi later. all in all, pretty smart decision in a terrible situation with two horrible potential outcomes.

I'm sure even in death he was concerned for Sasuke, but obviously given the way things turned out when he came back, I guess that was rightfully so.

[@shaunjohnson9744]

A little correction for sure so far, kakashi was never caught in the genjutsu he says specifically “everyone but me was suddenly hit with a genjutsu and it took a while to release them all". Tenma and itachi were never actually friends, tenma still absolutely hated his guts to his death, itachi awoke his sharingan not from his friends death, but from his intense sense of failure of stoping his life from being taken. Also just to clarify for everyone, mikoto attempted to help itachi and sasuke but didn’t know about the debris hurtling at them so itachi throws sasuke into her arms and channels chakra into his fist the same way that tsunade and Sakura do and that’s how it got smashed into pieces. Then his mom goes to congratulate him but he says something along the lines of this isn’t the time or place.

[@haydenself2182]

This actually changes greatly some of the points made in the video and really shows itachi at his most complete self

[@pearlofivris]

Just as an additional clarification-- the anime modified some events. In the anime, Itachi considered his teammates as his friends before Tenma died. In the novels, this wasn't explicitly said, he just thinks that he was weak so he couldn't stop Obito. Itachi froze in fear in the novel when Obito showed up. The same goes with Izumi's death. The anime implied that Obito killed her. In the novel, she was the first person that Itachi killed in the massacre. Also, I'm assuming it's because of Obito's dialogue in the past of Itachi "killing his lover" but that was literally never stated in the novel (someone also asked Kishi about this 'lover' in the past, and he didn't even remember he wrote that dialogue lol). Itachi knew about Izumi's feelings but wasn't interested, and was bothered whenever Shisui would tease him about it. As a parting gift I guess, Itachi used Tsukuyomi on her to show the life that they could have lived (if Itachi eventually liked her back) and before she died, he thanked her for liking someone like him.

[@ariadnaramirez9685]

We also cant gloss over the fact that he was literally a kid. 13 years old and sure he was supposedly as wise as a hokage at age 7 but that's bs. Being mature and a prodigy does not equate to life experience which is something a hokage should have more of compared to a 7 year old. Both the uchiha and konoha placed so much on his shoulders and he was definitely manipulated to go through the massacre. The "there's no other way", shisui eye-stealing and lowkey blackmailing him with sasuke's life(the whole he'd die if the uchiha went through with the revolution/if itachi took his clan's side) were definitely used to push him to that extreme. He's not a mentally stable 13 year old and he's forced to make a decision that the Third Hokage should have made. Yes, this way the Uchiha name is kept "clean" but we can clearly see how it affected Itachi so much so that he took measures to manipulate his younger brother into hating him by literally almost driving him insane with a genjutsu basically on the spot. Whether that extreme was necessary or not can be put up for debate but the fault still lies in the Third Hokage's inability to make hard choices. Hiruzen knew full well that Danzo was not a saint. Sure he may have done everything with "Konoha in mind" but they all seem to forget that protecting Konoha also means protecting the Uchihas. The council has a shit ton of power that can overule the Hokage whenever because it will always be 3 to 1 and they're all childhood friends. When faced with a potential civil war, Hiruzen should have resolved it diplomatically. That was the perfect time to make amends and fix the mess that started with Tobirama. Integrate the Uchihas into the rest of Konoha. Instead of being a Uchiha only police force, discuss ways to expand and allow others to join. So then shinobi can choose between anbu and police force or jonin and police force. It would be a long, arduous and painstaking process but it would at the very least buy time and if everything worked out somehow, lead to an even stronger Konoha. There are arguments that the Uchiha weren't going to settle for pretty words(most people wouldn't) so Hiruzen had to set an example. None of that "I'm too old for the job" bs. Come on. You've got 6, 7, 8 year olds becoming shinobi but no one's thinking about how they're probably too young for that shit. I could rant for days but basically it was ultimately a decision that should have never fallen onto Itachi's young shoulders in the first place but he went through with what he as an emotionally scarred messed up 13 year old believed to be the path that led to the least amount of suffering for konoha in the long run. Older and more experienced Itachi later recognizes it may not have been the right choice however he had to deal with the consequences (them being sasuke's misguided hatred, trauma, and all his other issues and leaving Konoha weakened since some sharingan and more manpower might've come in handy for the war) ... whoa that was a lot

Itachi's teacher didn't want him to take the training exam because he was jealous of his abilities. And what are your thoughts on Itachi being able to put Aburame insects into a genjutsu? Do you think it's because of the unique relationship between yoji and said insects that made the difference or what ?

[@DavidLucian]

In my opinion 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 then 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(his Taijutsu it's exceptional and underrated) 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ☯️

@@TheTonytone77 sasuke has the arrow they all have different weapons depending on who you are no one else has a weapon besides a sword madara only has a sword kakashi had kamui shrinking those people have different weapons depending on the susanno so id say someone passedit down to him not saying sasuke woulda got it I'm saying its just like how sasuke got the black flames

Definitely my favorite character with one of the most f up sad story. I really wish they show his abilities at 100% just to see how powerful he is but damn I did love the fan Manga they did where he fought Nagato. You just earned a sub with this video my man, definitely great informations for those who don't know about Itachi.

[@Lore-gt5rh]

Nagato would beat his ass😭

[@herdouacheng05]

@@Lore-gt5rh didn't say he wouldn't or he would because we never saw neither of them at their full power when they are both healthy. I honestly love them both but when it comes to careful calculations on the battlefield I say Itachi out smarts Nagato. Besides he was the one to help Bee and Naruto stop the planetary jutsu after they were reincarnated. It would definitely be one heck of a battle indeed.

[@Lore-gt5rh]

@@herdouacheng05 out smarting nagato doesn’t really mean anything. He’s still getting chopped up

[@herdouacheng05]

@@Lore-gt5rh yes it does matter and no he's not getting chopped. I guess you must have forgotten it was Itachi himself who sealed Nagato away.

[@Lore-gt5rh]

@@herdouacheng05 that’s just a way to say he’d lose pretty fast. Itachi sealing nagato is no feat

Dude, nobody, including the “hard itachi fan/ stans” understand or know how powerful itachi actually is. I always have to explain all this shit. Thanks to you, i can just link a video and it will be over in a fewy seconds.

Something I theorized about itachi’s susanoo, you can see his bright yellow susanoo covered by a red armor hiding the brighter color of his susanoo which usually equates to positivity, Theory 1: After the Uchiha massacre and everything that had happened, itachi’s heart had locked away its previous positivity which we can see play out. Theory 2: After the massacre and everything, Those who cared about itachi (aside from the Akatsuki, shisui and danzo ) had felt betrayed due to the Uchiha massacre, They hated itachi which lead to his positivity being outcasted by the hate for everyone he had killed and the people who cared about itachi. Personally I think theory 1 is more likely. It could be that the armor is an aesthetic choice but basically every other single susanoo we’ve ever seen with proper armor, had the same color as it’s usual appearance.

Itachi is my fav character and this entire story made him even better
