There was this rumor going around that Kishimoto stated that Itachi would win in a fight against Madara and that is why Itachi was killed off. However, that turned out to be fake news. But, it got me thinking. Who would win if it comes down to Itachi and Madara??
The more I thought about it, the more I realized Itachi would win. Maybe I am being a little biased because Itachi is one of my favorites and I would love for him to beat a badass villain. But I am not saying it only because of that. Let me explain.
These are reasons why I think Itachi would win. These are not certain. Just my personal opinions.
Being a pacifist at heart, Itachi did not actually like fighting and would avoid it when he could. When he couldn't, he would end the fight as quickly as possible, all the while holding himself back. There wasn't one fight in Naruto that Itachi fought because he wanted to fight. i.e. None of us has actually seen what Itachi Uchiha could do in a battle. If he could fight that powerfully with Sasuke (kirin and all other jutsus), imagine how well a non-blind, non-sick Itachi could fight when he actually fights with the intent to kill.
Let's talk facts.
Itachi: Alive, well, has MS.
Madara: Rinnegan, EMS. but not 10-tails jinjuriki. (Let's be real. No one can beat the 10-tails jinjuriki single-handedly)
Madara: Rinnegan, EMS. but not 10-tails jinjuriki. (Let's be real. No one can beat the 10-tails jinjuriki single-handedly)
Ninjutsu:
Madara may have a perfect Susano because of his EMS, but Itachi's had BOTH Sword Of Totsuka and Yata Mirror, without even having an EMS AND his Susano was incomplete. The simultaneous use of both weapons would make Itachi's Susanoo essentially invincible. While Madara has more stamina and Chakra, Itachi balances with speed. This ends in a draw. Itachi, in the end, would find a way to win. Madara is powerful, but he really wasn't that sensible, always just going crazy and unleashing all his strength and I think Itachi will see that. Itachi has more brains and battle sense. He could easily come up with a strategy to beat Madara into a tie.Genjutsu:
Itachi is a child prodigy. At 13, he was Anbu captain. He is the greatest Genjutsu user (After Shisui) and the greatest Fireball user. It was his style of fighting. Madara, on the other hand, preferred ninjutsu and other than Infinite Tsyukomi (after getting 10-tails power), he is never seen using Genjutsu - not even in his epic fight with Hashirama. So, I think Itachi would win. Do not forget, Itachi also had Shisui's other eye. It is explicitly stated in the manga that Shisui's eyes surpassed Madara's when it came to genjutsu.Taijutsu:
Let's be honest, Madara would win.Other advantages for Itachi:
One of the biggest advantages that Madara had is that no one knew what powers he had. But Itachi, as an Uchiha would have read all the tablets and he won't be surprised at anything Madara would throw at him.He is amazingly powerful + has amazing strategical skills - shown by how quickly he figured out how to beat Chibaku Tensei.
Totsuka no tsurugi > Madara's ANYTHING, Itachi wins.
Madara is obviously superior at tai jutsu. He took on literal armies at one time. And it was stated Itachi asked Tobi for help to kill the uchiha clan because he knew he couldn't do it himself. Itachi's chakra reserves suck. Every time he would use his eyes he would get tired and start going blind. Madara has the eternal mangekyo sharingan- so he can't go blind not to mention he has as much chakra reserves as a tailed beast.
ReplyDeleteI admitted Madara would win in Taijutsu.
DeleteI clearly said, "in a fight where itachi is non-sick and non-blind".
He needs strategy to win against itachi, and I don't think Madara has that.
I clearly said, this is my view. Since this battle never happened, it can end any way of what you want it to.
