Exactly! We all know the Databooks are in fact fallible since characters rarely perform according to their stats. And the writer/s love to use colorful figurative language when describing the abilities of individuals. So why argue with these guys? Databook can be colorful language but not until its proven wrong by the director so until then the words are valid. So Totsuka and Yata are perfect offense and defense, you just cant accept that fact. The very reason he didnt use it suggests it can destroy the whole world if used, so kishi nerfed it , not only that , kabuto claimed itachi had more power and more jutsu than he had shown as of now , so that means itachi was completely holding back in kabuto's fight. Either itachi was holding back all the time like he did in kabutos fight or it was A pis made by kishi to not allow itachi to use it to destroy NV and kabuto. Will there be any plot progression if the weapons are used in that manner? Its very mechanics make it to be omnidirectional and capable of repelling every attack and sealing everything, so why should the words be hyperbole? Its only hyperbole when the mechanics dont go with the statement like temari's wind. She has never shown the capacity to wreck a continent let alone a universe and its mechanics are vacuum blades summoned to cut through substances, nothing more , but itachis weapons are different. It was stated to be perfect and the mechanics align with the perfection idea, not just words. Yet you are purposefully trying to find loopholes which the director denies. And the very manga denies. I can deny madara's feats and every statement about him then? They all come from the same manga ... so concede already, no use in denying straight facts.
