Comments
On raw power, this debate has a clear answer: Madara in Six Paths Sage Mode, wielding Truth-Seeking Balls and Infinite Tsukuyomi, operates on a scale that Itachi never approached. But fans argue this matchup isn't decided by power — it's decided by Izanami. Itachi's sealing genjutsu requires no eye contact once established and cannot be escaped through strength alone, only through genuine self-acceptance. The powerscaling debate centres on one question: can Madara's Rinnegan perception and Six Paths Sage awareness prevent Izanami from taking hold before his scale advantage becomes decisive? If Itachi lands Izanami first, the fight ends regardless of Madara's power ceiling. If Madara's Perfect Susanoo and Truth-Seeking Balls establish physical dominance first, Itachi's toolkit has no answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
In terms of raw power, Madara at his Six Paths Sage Mode peak comprehensively outscales Itachi. However, Itachi's Izanami — a sealing genjutsu that traps opponents in an infinite sensory loop with no power-based escape — is specifically the kind of technique that bypasses the power gap entirely. Most analysts give Madara the win based on scale and sensory awareness, but the Izanami argument keeps this debate genuinely alive.
No — on raw power, Madara is definitively above Itachi. Madara's Six Paths Sage Mode, Truth-Seeking Balls, and Infinite Tsukuyomi place him at a tier Itachi never reached. The Itachi argument isn't about power — it's about whether Izanami and the Sword of Totsuka create a path to victory that exists entirely outside the power comparison.
The case for Itachi beating Madara rests entirely on Izanami landing before Madara establishes physical dominance. If Itachi can deploy Izanami — which requires no continuous eye contact and cannot be overpowered — the fight ends regardless of Madara's strength. Whether Madara's Six Paths Sage Mode perception can detect and prevent the technique's application is the matchup's only real question.
