It's not PIS, you just don't like the feat or the character, that was made clear the moment you joined this wikia back then. Black Zetsu commented multiple times on how pitiful Itachi was fighting and reacting compared to his younger self. Itachi also controlled the entire fight with Kabuto in order to free him from his mental torture using Izanami and effectively stop Edo Tensei(which he did both) and at the same time protect Sasuke. Itachi on his own would not have had the same hard time against Sage Mode Kabuto, especially if he never intended to save him, but kill him instead. So? You aren't getting this. If a sick Itachi can react to a bolt of lightning, then he should be easily capable of reacting to any and every single attack throughout the entire series without any problems whatsoever. Itachi erecting his entire susanoo within 1/1000th second is PIS, there is no denying that. I like Itachi, but I dislike his fanbase, which makes it hard for me to like Itachi that much especially in scenarios like this. Sage Mode Kabuto was one of the most OP characters in the entire series, Kabuto's cockiness was also a reason why they won. Had Kabuto went all-out at the very beginning and attacked them with lethal intent they'd be beyond dead.

Not even Obito or Madara were capable of subjugating Naruto or B with their MS, both of them had to resort to either Rinnegan or Wood Release techniques to take them down. What happened in Yagura's situation is unknown, so you can't use that as an example. But it's clear that taking control of Perfect Jinchuriki is not possible with just the MS. Itachi has no counter to TBM Minato, he is blitzed and blown apart in seconds. If you think Itachi can compete with a Yin Kurama when he doesn't have a single feat that would allow him to keep up with an opponent of that level then you're just overrating him like the majority of his fanbase does. This is a one-sided stomp if both Minato and Itachi are bloodlusted and attacking with killing intent from the beginning.
