Power creep. You can't see any visual prowess affecting the battlefield, there is no physical feedback, there's no eye-candy on a massive scale, unless you want to count the Infinite Tsukuyomi . Trees aren't being destroyed, land isn't being exploded, no one is shooting lasers. It is however a lot more interesting in 1v1's to see who can outwit each other. My favorite instance is still how Sasuke 'genjutsued' Danzo into thinking one of his 'arm-eyes'? was still open. My one complaint about Genjutsu is how it was mostly ocular. We really only got variations with Tayuya and Ma and Pa who used sound. It would've been interesting to see Genjutsu activate with other senses, but I get why Kishmoto used it the way he did. Good writing is hard. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Genjutsu was introduced like it had wide-ranging applications, but it seems like most genjutsu are OP. My favorite genjutsu was Sasuke fooling Danzo with the izanagi eyes because it was simple and effective. Variety with genjutsu is the key. Not everything needs to be paralysis or mind control. Take Sarada versus Boro for instance, she could have used genjutsu on Boro to make him think he shifted his core, then Boruto could have blown off the top of his body and killed him. Perfectly simple, but super effective.

This is the problem I find with most magic systems in media. As threats grow in power, so does the scale of abilities. But then you reach a point, like in Naruto, where it gets so damn ludicrous, you gotta find a way to tone it down which leads to retcons and complete reworks of what used to be foundational to series. As soon as Naruto went the DBZ route of making Otsusuki clan some damn aliens, I lost interest. The series hasn't been about ninja since then imo. Naruto went from being a nobody to learning his DNA is LITERALLY PART ALIEN and it's dumb to me. Hyuga, Uchiha, Senju, and by extension, the Uzumaki are all part alien and that killed the "shinobi" vibe for me.

Genjutsu is hard to write into a fight properly. Especially since nowadays a lot of people just care about big explosions and cool colors during a fight. While there’s nothing wrong with liking that, it’s just that it makes it so genjutsu doesn’t fit into that aesthetic. One of my favorite genjutsu scenes was Sasuke vs Itachi, the mind trickery was so cool but it doesn’t fit in with all the big fight scenes we’ve seen in Boruto.

Though it did play a part in many fights, characters used it to distract or confuse opponents before taking them down. It was only really used to put down opponents after they were beaten ... even izanami had some fighting requirements.

Characters don't even at least try to use Genjutsu, like it doesn't even always have to be successful in achieving the desired outcome in a battle and it wouldn't be so disappointing since the main characters are still basically kids, they haven't achieved their prime yet so it would show that they have still room to grow, but the more experienced characters also don't attempt Genjutsu at any time at all Edit: I'm mainly talking about Boruto series

The Otsu's maybe not encountering it also could be interesting. ~ I do like how the anime does make Sarada use them GEnjutsu's. ~~ Honestly kinda shocking I forgot how much Genjutsu was used and what it did in Part 2 but I feel it still kinda fell off a bit there mainly because it didn't really do too much in the parts and Kurenai kinda didn't get to do anything. The series def could have benefitted from being longer.

Personally tried a few episodes of the anime and only a couple chapters of the manga for Boruto so I don't know a lot about the series. But, I liked the fact that genjutsu wasn't extremely common in the main series. It made it seem like it was something harder to learn, and use effectively in combat.

Ninja in the Boruto era have been implied on several instances to be able to resist genjutsu. A good example was the Houki Vs Inojin fight in the chunin exam.

You should make a video covering how terrible 90% of ninjutsu was through out the series as well. I think one of the many faults of Naruto as a series is that many jutsu didn't end up being threatening at all. Save for hacks abilities like rinnegan, various MS abilities, flying raijin, wood release etc. It would have been cool to see the more ordinary jutsu be more threatening then it was. And I think it turned out this way because Naruto characters started getting a little too powerful. So I think they could have fixed this by straight up nerfing Naruto characters, and not necessarily just writing jutsu to be more powerful. Personally, I think the highest level should have just been Kage level. Of course not all kage level characters would be equal, but roughly in the same tier. I think this would have made for a more grounded experience. Instead of in order to be considered powerful in Boruto, you need to be God-like.

I think genjustu would be very interesting if we see it in other animes and games 🙂

I really do think Genjutsu would work well on Kawaki. Especially the subtle kinda (like Sasuke making Danzo believe he had more Sharingan left than he actual did). Kawaki just isn't experienced enough in deception, let alone Genjutsu. He wouldn't even recognize what was going on to fight against it.

One of the coolest applications of Genjustu in Boruto would've been in the fight against Jigen. I've always thought we'd get to see more of Jigen outside of Isshiki's control, since his body cracked and he started crying. But we got nothing. What if, in the fight against Jigen, Sasuke puts Jigen (the body) under a Genjustu, which supresses Isshiki's control for a moment and we get an insight into Jigen (the character's) actual personality? He could either drop his staff and ask Sasuke to kill him. Or he could be suffering from extreme stockholm syndrome and get pissed off they put away his god. This wouldn't really change the fight, but it would be a really cool moment.

could've made sakura so talented at genjutsu she's able to even trap Uchihas within hers ... would have solved 3 problems at once: how to make sakura actually keep up with Naruto and Sasuke, how to make genjutsu matter and how to defeat juubidara.

Genjutsu is just so open and without limits that it makes it hard to actually use it in the story. Theoretically any high level fights can use genjutsu to just fuck with the opponents: which will get confusing when actually seeing it or watching it. Especially when there's supposed like 4000+ genjutsu, that Hiruzen knows ALONE. It could also be used very lazily to escape situations like how substitution jutsu is practically teleportation jutsu at a small distance and used just to subvert a mistake most of the time.

As a general rule of thumb I do agree with you if you get rid of an established power system or way of doing things in order to introduce something new it is usually bad. But then again when I think of jojo a lot of people like hamon (myself included). I wasnt a big fan of it in part 1 but in part 2 I really enjoyed how creative they got with it. However in part 3 they entirely got rid of hamon for something else which is stands which was a bizarre decision. I hated stands initially, but the concept was very cool to me and later on when better stands came out I enjoyed it. However I've always said in the back of my head I wish Hamon and stands tied together hand in hand. I think it would've been better imo.

As some have mentioned, the "age of things like ninjutsu/shinobi is over, like genjutsu" the main reason is, it involves the writer *not being lazy* Intelligent writing has been lacking in Boruto from the start

The og naruto powers were interesting, but poorly handled I believe. Like had Kishi focused on the different powers and how they work together and on strategy then I doubt we’d have as many impactful moments with character development because their personalities would be tied into how they fight more than their struggles. Personally I love naruto because of moments like Gaaras inflection upon his death, but the fights are super cool still. Naruto is a diverse series that handles emotion and symbolism well. It’s power scaling and consistency is solid, but not great- it isn’t a perfect series, but has a lot of draw for a lot of different interest. Sadly people seem to hate on the things they don’t like that aren’t done well, but all series have their weaknesses. Awesome analysis and super fun listening to you Six, just wanted to share my thoughts!

So I have a question. Can Genjutsu (including Infinite Tsukuyomi) affect blind people? I'm asking this because Kaname Tosen, a character from Bleach is blind and he's supposedly immune to Kyoka Suigetsu so I wonder if the same applies in Naruto regarding blindness can save you from Genjutsu, visual Genjutsu at least. And I'm talking about normal visual Genjutsu, so no Izanagi or Izanami.

1. Yes if you are blind then visual genjutsu wont work 2. Ks isn’t a super buffed koto they are barely similar. Koto gives you a command and rewrites your mind to the point where you believe your actions are coming from your heart. KS controls your 5 senses to create illusions

It's stated everything the Infinite Tsukuyomi touches is put under genjutstu Itachi novels confirmed Mangekyo level genjutstu works by the user injecting their chakra into you, IT is the highest tier of MS genjutstu using the Rinne Sharingan. All evidence suggests the blind can fall under MS+ level genjutstu

If Tsusnade is a master of Chakra control then she should be good at genjutsu, which she need to get critical hits with her fists or stall for regeneration. Doesn't Eida have a passive genjutsu on at all times?

Sakura should've had genjutsu to differentiate herself from Tsunade

The problem with genjutsu is that it's just illusions. I think in terms of writing, it's just a no-win situation as it's too easy to be used as a crutch for twists or padding a fight, or could easily become too broken in universe, I think kishimoto made the right call abandoning it and using it sparingly

wasnt sasuke immune to infinite tsukuyomi due to his rinnegan? Imagine how resistant a guy with 2 rinnegan and one on his forehead would be. But yeah if they wanted to waste a pannel to silence haters they shouldve

Kakashi vs Zabuza is still to this day probably one of my favorite fights on the whole series

Genjutsu would’ve been a good ONE time plot device to have a whole fight happen with heavy stakes, real loss, a good victory and have it all swept away under the rug just have whole new fight with new stakes

The issue with genjutsu is that it’s way too vague how to resist it.

Recognize that you are in genjutsu and just alter the flow of chakra a tiny bit. That breaks you out. Itachi's personal skill made it difficult for orochimaru to break out without focusing for a few seconds, but it was significant because NOBODY could cast genjutsu that strong. Itachi flipped kurenai's genjutsu on her by noticing it, altering his chakra and casting the same genjutsu on her at a higher level that requires more concentration to break. Genjutsu has strength that makes it harder to break, and subtle genjutsu make it so you never even try, such as in Sasuke's fight against danzo. Danzo would have won if he noticed he was in a genjutsu.

Vaguely related, but I wonder what a natural predator species to the Otsutsuki would look like. Amado said something about them being parasites, so what beats a parasite? A bit fan fictiony I know, but still a thought I’ve had.

Yeah I’ll admit it’s weird that genjutsu isn’t even thought of being used by sasuke in his fights. Like u said I’m not asking him to Genjutsu gg isshiki or momoshiki but a small scale illusion would have been valid Even the applications that aren’t illusion based but that ones that can erase memories/view memories could have been used by Sarada or sasuke when it comes to interrogating Amado

So genjustu general thing is to affect the 5 senses so would somone with a 6th sense of more have a advantage to break it. Like in naruto isn’t chakra tired to the 5 senses so u can’t really consider senses chakra a 6th sense thing?

The strength in Genjutsu isn't the big things, it's the little things, like the Danzo part you described. Like what itachi did to the anbu pursuing him in the anime and they killed each other. Of course it's practically worthless to extremely high tier like Otsutski or (some members of Kara) but for general use it's a great tool and I suspect that part of showing off the subtle benefits of these things will be creating more 'Danzo' scenarios where it changes the outcome of the fight through deception. Genjutsu might seem a bit simple now but think about it, even simple attacks can change the course of a fight - after all a simple shadow clone defeated isshiki.

I wonder if there is a shinjutsu specifically for casting very strong genjutsu like infinite tsukiyomi 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Pretty sure shinjutsu can have genjutsu like techniques. I know its the purest form of ninjutsu but you can argue its the purest form of jutsu as a whole encompassing all jutsu considering how its described

It’s like new bosses in Dokkan being immune to everything

The thing about genjutsu is that it is best used in a way that people don't know they are under genjutsu. Yet, most of the genjutsu we see is super blatant to the victim that they are under genjutsu.

Bruh genjutsu was literally my favorite naruto "mechanic" like damn it's so sick thinking about how to use it and use it well. Now it barely even exists cause everyone got sharinnegans or whatever lmao

Ill be honest I gave up on taking genjutsu seriously the moment Danzo first used Izanagi. It went from illusions and creative deception to rewriting reality and once that bar is met its pretty hard to go back to basics. Izanami was pretty dope though ngl

@@nathantryon1146 seeing Obito or another Uchiha use it first would’ve been more impactful to see and would’ve layed the ground work for the power alot better

The thing that makes me sad is just how genjutsu just isn't as impactful if not casted from a Sharingan. Like we have the Frog Song but like all the examples you listed of casting genjutsu mid-combat, those are all Uchiha I do absolutely agree though, that people ignore the fact that it can be used for misdirection, like Obito's (failed) attempt to make Kakashi think he killed him, or Sasuke in his fight against Deidera and Danzo

Not sure if it was in the Manga, but in the Boruto anime Naruto used genjutsu on one of those little shin clones if I'm not mistaken.

If you think about it the otsutsuki are probably familiar with Genjutsu already as they have to cast the infinite tsukuyomi in order to absorb the chakra of a planet. That was what Boro was preaching about. It's why sasuke and naruto fought jigen and isshiki. If Isshiki had succeded, he probably would have used the infinite tsukuyomi. So yeah, genjutsu still plays a critical part that can end the world itself if used. Sure, the use of genjutsu has gone down a lot, but what is the point of using the jutsu on the enemies like otsutsuki that probably have counters against it. The Otsutsuki are originators of chakra so to them countering genjutsu is probably easy. I agree that it's usage has declined, but it still plays a pivotal role even in boruto. And to be honest, as much as some genjutsu fight were cool in naruto, illusion battle is just boring as hell.

I guess the next video will be “The Over-Saturation of Taijutsu”

Can you create a video of what if edo itachi joins the war instead of dealing kabuto

For sarada vs boro she could pull a Sasuke and make him think he moved it like Sasuke made danzo think he had one more eye than he had

They have the perfect opportunity to reintroduce genjustsu with the pure eye in order battle enemies like Daemon, Eida, and non-shinobis like Kawaki, Otsutsuki, etc.

Just leaving this here since I want more discussion on the topic, what's everyone's take on whether or not Genjutsu would work on Bleach characters? The main two arguments in Bleach's favor are 1. most Naruto characters wouldn't be able to see them (this is especially damning in the case of ocular genjutsu), and 2. Bleach characters (minus the humans) are souls, and Genjutsu hasn't been shown to work against souls. There's more, but I'm just wondering what everyone thinks.

I think the big problem is that if genjutsu did work it would make these unimaginable threats the androids and otosutski seem beatable which the series can't do yet

"Decline in shippuden" they've used genjutsu the most in shippuden

I kinda wonder if momoshiki or any of the otsutski learned how genjutsu works that they would just use it to completely control anyone that has chakra …

Genjutsu should be sneaky, subtle. Sasuke's way with Danzo is the best demonstration. Inducing your opponent a minimum error that costs their life later on the fight. But they pushed it too far, paralysis and mind control in a blink of an eye are hard concepts to surpass in terms of power balance. Who can win against it? The easy way out was giving the relevant characters and villains straight out immunity against it, just like they can absorb all ninjutsu. Now, 2/3 of the established power system is irrelevant. Talk about good writing...

How would that work though?

Question that future flashback for Boruto could be the fight after code came to the leaf

I think one issue with Genjutsu is that they made the Sharingan too op against it originally it was stated that one way to get out of a Genjutsu was by seeing the imperfections and weaknesses in the Illusion and that the Sharingan made this could notice these more easily than normal eyes, however Kishimoto made it in the series that everyone except Itachi who used Genjutsu was useless against the Sharingan. In fact in the original Naruto run when Kurenei goes up against Itachi the reason she loses so badly is not just because of the Sharingan but also because of Itachi's skill at Genjutsu. I think it's in the datebooks but there was a female Senju during Hashirama's time who was stated to effectively use Genjutsu against the Uchiha due to her high skill at it. So I think Genjustsu became more or less useless due to Kishimoto making the Sharingan too OP against it.

I mean there is another way to break genjutsu and that by hurting yourself just a little bit (like what kurenai did or what shikamari did against tayuya)

What if Sasuke kept his cm when he fought bee and then the five Kage could he have won in those instances or what if Sasuke actually killed Naruto back in part one and got Ms would he beat sick itachi in a fair fight

i find it stange that naruto is my favorite series ever and now matter how many times i try to watch boruto it always discust me to the point of me having to stop

Even in og Naruto, Ninjutsu was already overflowing compared to Genjutsu and Taijustsu. Really wish we got more quick, tactical battles instead of big and flashy.

TELL EM

I wouldn’t go with the writing of the otusuki haven’t encountered many genjutsu because kaguya was not special in her clan there is nothing to indicate she was so it would have better to say kaguya’s genjutsu is just very impressive to the clan that’s really but it would’ve been cool if sasuke casted genjutsu against say kinshiki and he said something like “his mind is far superior to even the strongest Shinobi” and have with just a little bit of effort kinishiki break it. So against otusuki they can cast SUPER strong ones but they can throw off their perception kinda like how Aizen did to Yhwach

War arc guy(only seven gate)and war arc Kakashi vs Edo Nagato and Itachi if kabuto send those two instead of the seven ninja swordsmen

1:10 like how the new Star Wars had no cool lightsaber fights

14:49 why didn't Sasuke uses genjutsu on Kawaki in this panel?

*Genjutsu sharingan, Sasuke having the cloud ninja tell him stuff and Itachi have Kabuto tell him stuff is acquired after gaining the Mangekyo sharingan. So doubt Sarada could do it yet.* 😊
