A) like I said, the giant rasengan failed to breach rib cage susanoo, so what makes you think its breaking a stronger variant in armored?

B) Nagato clearly was able to walk again, reread his fight with naruto and killer bee.

C) you don't know what stage of susanoo was used to block kirin, and it clearly protected itachi from a mountain busting attack.

D) no its not an inconsistency, the blade seals what it PIERCES, not what it slices or cuts. The tip of the blade is what seals. E) bs because orochimaru  couldn't even react to the blade before it pierced. After he was hit, he assumed he was fine, but he was very wrong as it was the totsuka blade.

F) stop pretending you dont know how to read. The shield can change any of its properties, so it can be omnidirectional if necessary to block the attack. The shield wasn't used either due to PIS or wasn't useful for the situation.  Itachi opted to destroy the core as it created a large smokescreen to catch nagato off guard.  jiriaya can do jutsu, no evidence he  can do high level ones that require hand signs. The shadow clone did fire style after which jiraiya was no longer prepping sage mode, as he was already in sage mode at that point
