I'd argue the frustration comes more from characters not using all of the abilities available to them, rather than them losing. Naruto arguably gets it the worst out of anybody, since he hasn't displayed any of his end-game "god powers" like flight, Truth-Seeking Balls, and Yin—Yang Release since the end of the original manga. But it's not like the original series was free of this kind of stuff either, just look at all the times Obito and Madara could have saved themselves with Shinra Tensei, for example.

Anyway, I was pretty surprised to see that Isshiki is already inside Jigen, since that earlier chapter made it seem like the mystery Ōtsutsuki was actually that mini Ten-Tails. Maybe the process of growing God Trees somehow starts out with them as a "Ten-Tails" before they actually become trees, unless Sasuke's theory of it being a juvenile was totally off-base.
