I disagree, I think that's exactly what the statement is saying. I'm not seeing any extra or hidden context for it.
That's only a requirement to dispell the Jutsu and free everyone, it has nothing to do with potency, and it doesn't say anything regarding the Sasuke situation.
I agree with UchihaSlayer96 on this. It specifically says he has the best Genjutsu but if the Raws say otherwise then I'll change my mind.
Do you have proof that he's aware of the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Not trying to be an ass, I'm genuinely asking.
Because of the statement from the Last guidebook. It's linked in the sandbox.
I understand. I guess that's it then
The Akatsuki all work to finish project Tsuki no me, and Itachi obviously knows how his organisation is gonna do it through a genjutsu
Actually, no, this is not true at all. Most Akatsuki members had no idea about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Pain, the leader, thought they'd control the world through the power of the Bijuu. He never spoke of the IT. Obito knew Itachi was a spy, and didn't trust him at all. The only Akatsuki members who actually knew were Zetsu and Kisame.
You mean Kotoamatsukami's Databook entry?
Hmmm, well, you're right. It does say that. So that's technically two statements of it being the "strongest" or "ultimate" genjutsu.
But there's still Sasuke's Statement from the Novel and his Genjutsu comes from an Eye far superior to a Mangekyo Sharingan.
That statement was made after the Koto statement(s), so they don't contradict each other.
It's as high as it can be, since the only things above it are canonically superior genjutsu.
Fair enough. Does that mean the more superior genjutsu require Uchiha blood for them to be escaped?
I don't think the "Sharingan + Uchiha blood" thing should be taken literally for Tsukuyomi. Itachi used it on seasoned Sharingan users during the massacre and they couldn't do anything about it. Likewise, Sasuke also couldn't truly escape from it, even with a fully mature Sharingan. Even his MS genjutsu apparently paled in comparison.
Is it confirmed that he used Tsukiyomi against the Uchiha's in the massacre? I can only remember Itachi casting it on Izumi in the novels.
He did I forgot who it was on but I remember him doing it (not including Izumi)
Yeah, I sort of remember that he used it on some guy he didn't like to violently kill him in the illusion, causing him to die in the real world.
Really? Even if he did, he can still kill them whilst they are busy breaking out of the Tsukiyomi (unless the context is different).
Yeah, which Itachi was trying to avoid as much as possible. He didn't want to kill Sasuke, he wanted to get rid of Orochimaru and then have Sasuke kill him in the Process since he was literally on Death's Door anyways due to his Illness.
But he can still cast Tsukiyomi without having an intent to kill. He used it on him 2 times before, without killing him.
No, he had ZERO intention of harming Sasuke. He just wanted to push him just enough to
Yes, it's obvious that Itachi wasn't trying to kill him, but Sasuke still broke out of Tsukiyomi regardless whether Itachi held back.
But it does matter. Him holding back puts the feat into question. Sasuke apparently failing to see through his illusions, puts the feat into question.
It is. Like I already said, Itachi used it on a guy called Tekka Uchiha, and he was completely helpless against it.
He's stated to likely know every Jutsu and used the Susano'o against Kaguya and used the Sharingan against Hamura
Uhhh, king, you know that stuff was anime filler, right?
They worked with Kishimoto in that arc to make sure it was accurate, and where does it say our profiles don't include filler?
Irrelevant. Even if that were true, it doesn't change the fact that the anime filler is anime filler. It also has multiple contradictions to the manga, but again, it doesn't matter because it's.....well, anime filler.
I'll do you one better. We don't use the anime at all, let alone anime filler.
