You hate Itachi the manga character, kind of weird and neck beardish to hate an anime character lol So Deidara and Sasori managed to get in the same room as the Gedo that we see them standing on top of in chapter 254, but Itachi couldn't even manage this in 8 years despite having a cheat code called genjutsu embedded in his eyeballs?

Itachi's a good character. I like him a lot. Itachi fans are the problem. Weird and neck beardish, now that's a good description of them.

I'm not the one who made the claim that Itachi could do anything to the Gedo or the Juubi. Someone else made that claim. I'm simply saying that if he has the capability to seal the Juubi then he could've and should've done so at any time during the 8 years or whatever he was with Akatsuki. To not have done so is criminal. People claiming Gedo Mazo is somehow different than the Juubi are simply wrong. The only difference between them is that the statue has been separated from the majority of its chakra.

Chapter 602 indicates that it still has plenty of chakra. Madara indicates that's what's been keeping him alive. The beast is still conscious as much as the Juubi is. It even behaves the same way that the Juubi does once it's been summoned and released, just like a ravenous beast. We see so in chapter 447. It's summoned. It growls like an animal. And it proceeds to @$$ jack all the chakra in the surrounding area.

Whatever is capable of sealing the Juubi would also be capable of sealing Gedo Mazo. If you have this capability there's no excuse not to do so. Itachi failed to do so.
