In order for Sasuke to even get in Manda's mouth he needed to summon him, Sharingan hypnotize him, and jump in his mouth in the time it took for Deidara's CO Final attack to detonate cross the ten feet between them and incinerate him. Manda ate the attack for him, but with a summon he auto recalls anyway. I would rather Kishi had just early introduced Izanagi, or had Tobi Kamui Sasuke so he could survive than that ending. Damn shame too, the rest of it is probably Sasuke's best fight. Sasuke was so exhausted he had not Chidori left and could barely keep his Sharingan on. Not so much a plot hole has a violation of the established rules of the setting. Even a flash of Cursed Seal would've been something.

As for my top ten list, I'm gonna have to think long and hard on that one.

Almost entirely this. I only disagree with you saying that it wasn't a plot hole. There was literally no explanation for it and the fact that he was already exhausted means he couldn't have done any of what he did.
