It differs yes, you're assuming it works like a vacuum, he activates it and susanoo get's sucked in, that's not the case. The bijju dama literally had to make contact with the portal, which is what would be needed of susanoo here. My counter for FTG second step remains susanoo or crow substitution. I'm not assuming it works like a vacuum. As I said before, guiding thunder has a range for the barrier space, so Minato would need to get into range to warp away Susanoo. Your counter has to beat the attack following FTG: second step, which has a faster than near instant level of attack speed, as Minato was able to outpace Obito's Kamui. Which Itachi won't be able to predict as he did with Kirin. 1) It aids in prediction, giving Itachi more information on the attack for timing a defense. Dialogues, "unavoidable attack like Amaterasu" and "Lightning from the heavens" from Sasuke, spell out the attack literally lol.

2) You don't have the authority to say that. The Kirin-dragon and Sasuke are in the same direction relative to Itachi in the last two panels.

3) Lol, that would certainly help him against Minato. Enter "shooter pointing the gun" analogy into Itachi's mind.

4) Another opinion about Sharingan abilities? It's quite interesting how they are downplayed when it's disadvantages you lol. As per 2), Itachi's viewpoint doesn't prevent vision of Sasuke (or his hand).

5) True, that's anime only. But I'll still use the A-canon reference.

6) I don't see how the Minato example you mentioned is relevant to this event. From Sasuke, the final dialogue cue, is indicates the moment just before the attack.

Jason of the Mangekyou wrote: Heed the example i gave...Minato can't react against what's faster for him to process, same applies to Itachi. I agree that Minato is faster than Ay. Yet, Itachi isn't faster than lightning because he can predict and time his reaction to the timing of Kirin. It wasn't pure reaction because the jutsu was explained to him and shown beforehand. Heed the "shooter pointing the gun" example.

Note: Why don't you acknowledge that analogy?
