@UchihaMasters The Susanoo was only considered the absolute defense at the time of it's introduction because it was so spectacular then. Towards the end of the series, it really wasn't all that much of an absolute defence anymore. If anything, TBM was depicted being on equal standing with it if not even stronger. As TBM has been shown to withstand incredibly durable attacks too, attacks even stronger than what Susanoo has been hit with.
