@Duvlee 1)Because none of those techniques are busting through a defense as powerful as v4 susano'o, even with the restrictions to the yata mirror.

2) I have no clue why this matters. The blade is a part of his arsenal so if it gets him the win he won the fight. It doesn't matter that it's overpowered.

3) This point has already been debunked. People try to discredit the blade's speed because his targets (nagato and orochimaru) were supposedly completely immobile yet they failed to register a mental reaction to the blade, rendering their mobility irrelevant. Nagato is immobile when it's convenient for their argument yet that same nagato is chasing after killer bee immediately after blowing him away with shinra tensei, with no sign of mobility issues. Even ignoring the mobility issue, he has shinra tensei and preta path, which last I check don't require mobility, they require a mental reaction, which he couldn't register to the totsuka blade despite seeing it right in front of him. So yeah, the blade is extraordinaly fast.

4) Size has everything to do with it. The yakaska matagama is stated to be his strongest long range attack, and it's clear he can change the size. Greater Size means more mass and more mass means it has more momentum when thrown, basic physics. 4 of his smaller matagama stunned a perfect sage and they weren't even directly thrown at him, that is enough proof it's a solid feint against these 3 opponents.

5) Sage mode kabuto and kakashi cannot track/percieve itachi's clone formations and substitution. Zero reason to believe that orochimaru can. The clones are used as diversions/misdirect his opponent's attention while his real self initiates an attack in their blindspot.

6) Zero reason to believe orochimaru is as fast as itachi when itachi has hand seal speed feats against kakashi and hebi sasuke, and orochimaru has no feat to suggest he can match itachi's.

7) When an opponent is superior to his enemies then of course the fight will go his or her way lol. Madara defeated the 5 kages with his perfect susano'o without breathing because he was superior, it's that simple. There is a difference in speed and intellect here. How is kimimaro reacting to an attack as fast as amaterasu after being stunned by a clone feint? what feats suggest he can do that? I doubt he is even fast enough to react to amaterasu at all even without a diversion. Where are Konan's speed feats and reaction feats? she has virtually none. How are her paper bombs harming a defense as powerful as Susano'o?

Healthy itachi enjoys a boost in stamina compared to sick itachi, and that matters a lot.

Itachi outclasses these 3 opponents in every way except for stamina essentially, and they have no way of dealing with his greater speed and better hax.
