YM blocked and bounced back Sasuke's Sword and his kunai and explosive tags showing it can reverse not only elemental techs but physical, explosive and concussive attacks. I have the episodes and the digital colored manga and I am looking at said things right now.

a) TB is not instantaneous, it doesn't have any speed feats. It has only been used on targets standing still, one of which was a giant target while the other was a mind-controlled cripple. Stop making things up.

b) Since you have all the material you would have realized that, The YM is not an absolute defense, it has inconsistencies such as:

Ch392, pg 10, you can see one of the snakes from Orochimaru's eight branches technique bypassing the YM (Meaning the YM is not adapting to the snake's attack). Anime further proves this, in episode 138 of part 2, multiple snakes bypassed YM and even constricted Itachi's Susanoo with the YM in tow. Checkmate YM fans.

Also, Itachi not using it against Nagato's CT and Kabuto's Snake rage technique.

@Kakashisologod

You seem to go off topic a lot, using comparisons that have nothing to do with this fight, please stay on topic.

@Ravenlot 27

Is Itachi really smarter that Madara? Madara has been shown to be extremely intelligent. How do we measure intelligence in Naruto?

@Namikazenaruto9

As Itachi said regarding Tsukuyomi, only a sharingan user who possesses the same blood as Itachi can break Tsukuyomi. While the validity of this is in question as Itachi has been known to lie about certain things, Madara does meet those requirements. Madara has the EMS and is a relative of Itachi. So, Madara can break Tsukuyomi, in the unlikely event he gets caught in it.
