For a while its been viewed that the Starwar's verse has a higher level of mind manipulation that that in the Narutoverse but is this really true? I'd like to compare the range of genjutsu in the Naruto verse to that of illusions in the Starwar's verse but for the Starwar's side I'll need star wars experts to lay out the information since I dont follow Starwars that much.
Naruto Genjutsu:
Notable Naruto Genjutsu
Izanagi- "When activated, the caster removes the boundaries between reality and illusion within their personal space. To a degree this allows the user to control their state of existence, but it is normally active for only the briefest of moments.[3] At the same time, in the anime, a skilled enough user of this technique can expand Izanagi's range beyond one's personal reality, able to affect a whole swath of people during the technique's activation."
Izamai - "It is a genjutsu which affects the target through physical sensations shared between them and the user to perform the illusion.[3] Like its counterpart, in exchange for the temporary ability that it grants the user, the Sharinga with which Izanami is cast is rendered blind and loses its light forever. According to Itachi, this technique and Izanagi form a pair, but unlike the latter, which is a technique capable of altering destiny, Izanami is instead one that "decides it."
Tsukiyomi - "Tsukuyomi requires eye contact to be performed, trapping the target within an illusion completely under the user's control. Itachi's prowess with the technique has allowed him to alter the perception of time with ease within the genjutsu to make a few seconds seem like many days as a means to torture the target. This results in the victim suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. After Itachi used it on Kakashi in Part I, Kisame was surprised that Kakashi's mind was still intact.[3] Only Tsunade has been shown capable of curing this psychological damage.[4]"
Koto- " The technique allows the user to enter the mind of any individual within their field of view, and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will.[1] It is regarded as a genjutsu of the highest calibre, due to the victim being entirely unaware that they are being manipulated.[3] Unlike mostSharingan-based genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami doesn't require eye contact, making it difficult if not impossible to know if the technique is being used on a victim unless a third party is present to see the Chakra Pathway System of the victim."
How do these few notable moves compare to that of mind manipulation in the Starwar's verse? Should range really matter if someone has resistance to such attacks?
