that was v1 jigen not v2 jigen and he did not catch him off guard, jigen actually slightly turned his head, sasuke was just much faster coz he lightning amped and it is not like jigen did not know the kick won't do much.No. Jigen can be caught off guard. The point of hitting the back is that Sasuke wouldn't be infront of Jigen where he can anticipate his attack. Instead Jigen would be busy absorbing Naruto's huge Rasengan and Sasuke can sneak attack him from the back. Sasuke has previously caught Jigen off guard with his kicks.
It failed because Sasuke was in Jigens like of sight. In fact Jigen was looking straight at his sword. Jigen already mentioned that it was difficult for him to move while absorption. So a plan that centers around catching him off guard should have worked because that's what plans are for. They had him on 2 separate occasions and lost because their plans were too shallow. Which is my point. Jigen is not some omniscient being that knows everything and can see everything. He can definitely be fooled. Sasuke and Naruto didn't use nearly as complex as the plans they used to in Shippuden.
You realize Sasuke swapping places is a better way of taking him unawares than going behind him? what you think the guy that tracks chakra as much as interdimensional and could sense kawaki elsewhere would somehow not sense sasuke behind his back? all he has to do is think it and the rods protect him again. Moreover your plan involves rather than them going 2v1 naruto takes him head on and is a distraction for sasuke to chip in. yeah no naruto is not lasting a second against v2 jigen. He is not strong enough to make that big of an opening. You said they had him twice but that's the thing they never did. From ours and their pov it seems like they did but they did not. We were just fed suspense twice. their attack never hit once so how can you say they had him? first scenerio they tried to corner him and he teleported away. When sasuke telports coz he is not fast enough to dodge does it mean they had him? no he just used a different skill set. Second scenerio they thought they caught him off guard but they did not . It's really just a case of "jigen was too fast".
