Why didn’t Sasuke absorb the shadow paralysis jutsu using his rinnegan? (sorry if this is the wrong flair, there’s no spoiler free Manga flair.)
To give Boruto the spotlight
Plot. They wanted to give Boruto the spot light.
Plot, or maybe u can say he wanted boruto to do the job so he believes in himself. Why didn’t sasuke absorb naruto’s big ass rasengans in valley fight?
Either they can’t absorb through their feet, or the shadow possession makes it so that their “chakra” is also unable to move. (If the shadow possession is strong enough).
Remember when Shikamaru used it on Gaara in part 1, Naruto was able to punch Gaara without his protective sand (which is automatic) blocking it. So it leads me to believe the shadow possession halts chakra movement as well.
Either that, or plot.
Because of plot, so that boruto do something
But Sasuke could have absorb it
I also support a spoiler free manga flair, only issue I see is potential misuse (accidentally using it for spoiler content) and low demand, but hopefully one day the mods will add it.
Also in the future hopefully there will be more unity between anime-only fans and manga readers so it won’t ????
Anyways to answer your question,
1- maybe he wanted Boruto to have his chance to do his thing
2- maybe he was about to if that didn’t work out
3- maybe he can’t use that power that way. We see him absorb chakra but not whole jutsu (chakra transformations), unless I’m forgetting an instance, which is super possible
4- plot
Theory is, after having sex with Sakura to make Sarada, he lost most of his powers. Lesson of the day is, stay virgin guys.
In the Boruto movie, Sasuke was the only one not caught by this.
The manga & anime wanted to emphasize Boruto’s importance though
When an ability is as powerful as the Rinnegan then the plot can never develop. The story needed him to give Boruto the spotlight. Plus Sasuke is human and he can make mistakes sometimes.
All instance of Rinnegan absortion we see has the user having to aim with their hands at the target, we have yet to see someone absorbing with their feet.
Maybe Sasuke Rinnegan build differently. If I remember right Urashiki’s Rinnegan has different abilities right? And Momo too didn’t use any of Pain abilities other than absorbing jutsu.
Nerfed.. Nothing else, basically
plot but it’s also the same reason as why sasuke didn’t just absorb narutos final valley attack or any of the rasengans that he almost hit him with during the fight
Correct me if I’m wrong but his rinnegan is situated at his head while the shadow paralysis is at his feet meaning he can’t absorb it from up there
A better question is why didn’t he use amenotejikara to switch places with Momo, that would free all the kages.
Answer is PLOT
Plot. For a guy who should be nigh unbeatable, plot requires him to magically forget like 98% of his abilities
Araki forgot
Wtf is this artwork?? Iki ffs
Plot, it’s always plot reasons in Boruto…
Has he ever absorbed anything other than chakra? I don’t recall him absorbing jutsu
Muh chakra
He ran out of chakra ????????????
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING PLOT?!!! EVERYTHING IS PLOT, THAT FACT THAT SASUKE EXIST IS PLOT!!
Just say “so Boruto could do something,” Jesus… “Plot” has become the worst answer to almost any question. Alright I’m done being “the angry,” just had to say something.
It’s possible he didn’t think of it or he didn’t have the power left to do it
ask teen sasuke why is adult self is very different
I had forgotten how horrible Naruto looked in that
Hasn’t he only ever absorbed chakra from physical contact?
His rinnegan can’t absorb only teleports
Was that the only option there was? He had more than one and the one that he used worked just fine.
Has he ever absorbed anything?
