Edo Minato has Tailed Beast Mode. That on top of his already immense speed, being the fastest shinobi in the Narutoverse means Itachi's blitzed over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again and his attacks will never hit. Not only that Tailed Beast Bomb wipes out Itachi's Susanoo or Minato can just warp it away while leaving Itachi shocked and vulnerable.

Edo Itachi loses ever scenario against Edo Minato, just like how in life Minato would beat Itachi every single time. Minato is just on an entirely other level.

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. It is PIS. Itachi couldn't replicate it, and its a feat you're exaggerating. Its like putting Master Roshi being able to nuke the moon in Dragon Ball as a legitimate feat: its a PIS and outlier for him. Kabuto speed blitzed Itachi flat out several times. 'He didn't try to kill him' doesn't matter, you have to attack with the intent to kill to get ANYTHING done in the Narutoverse, that was established WAY back in the Bell Test QuakingStar.

Oh and Itachi has shown zero skill manipulating Kurama or Kurama's chakra, thus he can't do it. If Minato's in Tailed Beast Mode, Itachi's screwed. And Itachi can't even it Minato in the first place.

Itachi wouldn't have a hard time against Kabuto one on one? Seriously? He was put into a genjutsu he couldn't break. Attacked from all around with the Sound Four's Senjutsu enhanced abilities. Without Sasuke there, Itachi wouldn't even be able to do Izanami in the first place. Oh and another thing Sasuke saved Itachi as much as Itachi saved Sasuke. Itachi has no chance against Kabuto one on one, the manga showed it. One second the sound genjutsu is used, Itachi's defeated since he can't beat it on his own.
