The frontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for logical reasoning. When we are dreaming it is mostly turned off, which allows us to believe our dreams are real until we wake up. I think it definitely makes sense that genjustu affects this part of the brain - essentially putting you into a waking dream made entirely from the casters imagination
Well put. I think the part of the brain he was describing was the frontal lobe (which would make Kishimoto more accurate), but the part he meant to describe was the limbic system.
The yamanaka clan should’ve been expert genjutsu users as well. they can take control of the mind, prob it, and even take over people’s nervous systems with the mind body disturbance technique. Seems like a perfect set up for a genjutsu user
Yeah I was surprised he didn't use the mind transfer technique to indicate basically what a genjutsu user would typically need to do for the fully immobilized portion of the video. As you stated they should have been the absolute best at genjutsu seeing as though they literally have to win the tug of war he was talking about to take control of their target.
I always wished the yamanaka clan technique was actually a genjutsu that controlled the person rather then them literally going limp and switching consciousness cause let’s be real that technique is so useless in a 1 on 1.
There's a third type of genjutsu he didn't mention; mind control. Kakashi first uses the smallest form of this against zabuza by using a genjutsu to subtly suggest his next move for him and he would copy them and even speak before zabuza could think about it. the two top forms are kotoamatsukami and izanami bot are basically full on mind control. we later see this evolve into how sasuke interrogate people with his sharingan.
Y'know something that is often done with genjutsu in fanfiction? Making your reach seem just a little bit longer, or shorter. It's a small thing, easy to miss, but can be *deadly*
One of those things could be that there are some Hyuuga that are really good at casting genjustu by touch. Their dojutsu can make user easily see chakra networks. So here's a strategy: Use gentle fist to shut down some tenketsu, then use some other technique to inject chakra specifically for casting the genjustu much more effectively than most long range genjutsu. The Hyuuga clan are so under underutilized its painful.
Genjutsu to Counter Ranged Fighters ---------- Hyugas get hard countered by ranged fighters, but if could use genjutsu to incapacitate them, they can buy themselves some time to close the gap. Becoming Snipers ------------ Since Hyugas can see several kilometers away in all directions, they should be able to hit anyone from any relevant distance if they had any form of ranged attack- which they actually do. Hinata also invented a ranged water style jutsu in a filler arc from OG Naruto. More Hyugas should go that route so they their range isn't a big weakness. Chidori ------------- Chidori gives you tunnel vision because normal human perception isn't good enough to see well at that speed. If Hyuga can see in all directions at the same time, the Byakugan should stop the tunnel vision just like the Sharingan. Genjutsu Range --------------- Not only can Hyugas see hundreds of meters away, but they can do so in basically every direction and even see through most obstacles like walls and trees, meaning they can technically make "eye contact" with anything and everything around them at the same time at any relevant distance. So, Hyuga's should be able to hit you with an occular genjutsu from... anywhere. Just looking in a Hyuga's direction is all they need to hit you with a genjutsu. Genjutsu Counter ------------------ Hyugas can see everyone's chakra network, including their own, so they should be able to see if someone is under genjutsu, including themselves, and break out by disrupting their own chakra network since they can shoot chakra out of their tenketsu.
@@frescobar1839 byakugan doesn’t increase perception/ reaction so it wouldn’t do much good for the chidori. Just because you can see everywhere doesn’t mean that the feed back is increased like with the sharingan. The byakugan does have its advantages and flaws when it has to do with genjutsu. Fantastic for seeing chakra flow however there is a genjutsu made to trick those who are perceiving chakra flow, to see several networks around them. It was during the war that a user was tricked hard to find. And the reason byakugan users aren’t remote sniping with genjutsu because it probably isn’t “direct eye contact” the person attacked by them aren’t looking at the origin source of the genjutsu. By your logic which I’m not saying is wrong, if a byakugan user had per say inos ability they would be able to find and control anyone anywhere, which is probably not that case cuz that’s basically Dan’s (tsunades boyfriend) ability.
that's actually hilarious to think that NARUTO the the person deemed so dumb that he shouldn't even bother learning genjutsu is actually passively the strongest genjutsu user in the series and just stops controlling his chakra when he talks.... you now you're in it when he says "ya know"
Genjustsu could have been used more often if they didnt try to always make the illusions be so OP like freezing someone. Like having an illusion of pain sensation that interrupts attacks or concentration, or what happened when kakashi copied zabusa where zabusa started to doubt himself and thought that kakashi was looking into the future
@@gregorycrump9800 pretty sure kakashi says he used a genjutsu to make him do the water dragon jutsu subconciously, kishimoto probably havent decided that the sharingan could do that at the time
@@gregorycrump9800 go re read or watch the episode again. It’s quick but zabuza explains it. Kakashi puts zabuza under a genjutsu that subtly suggests his next move for him, kakashi is simultaneously copying his movement but already knowing it before he does. That’s why kakashi was even able to finish zabuzas sentence for him.
Again, the "Eyes" of Perception and Deception aren't an actual thing, but the 2 categories that Sharingan abilities fall under. You have the Pre-cognition, Jutsu Copying, etc. that fall under Perception, and the Genjutsu that falls under Deception. All Sharingan have access to these abilities.
Part of what may have made genjutsu less prevalent, is how by the end of the series Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, the reanimated Hokages, Kabuto, Madara and Obito were all at a point where genjutsu was simply a waste of time against them for one reason or another. That said, the Izanami genjutsu did play a major role in defeating Kabuto so that could be viewed as its last hurrah.
That's not true though, genjutsu is like any other jutsu, if you are skilled enough or have strong enough chakra the opponent can't break free from it (i.e: Sasuke vs. Danzo). The problem is the War Arc turned every fight into DBZ
No. Sasuke, the strongest genjustu user of team 7 could've used genjustu during thast battle of the war. He was just too dumb to not cast a genjustu version of sexyjustu on Kaguya.
@@oghaze9318 Danzo was perfectly capable of breaking out of Sasuke’s genjutsu, as he demonstrated when he dispelled the genjutsu that was showing him Itachi. But that was a test by Sasuke to see if he could put him under genjutsu at all- once he knew he could technically do it, he used a much more subtle genjutsu that made Danzo think that the last eye on his hand was still open. The genjutsu worked because it matched the reality Danzo wanted and was believable, so he never doubted it until it had accomplished its purpose of making him willingly take a massive injury. He could’ve dispelled it at any time, but he didn’t realize it was affecting him. That said, Obito was watching the fight from an outside perspective and he knew the genjutsu was there- he mentioned it specifically and bragged about the Sharingan. So a third party can still identify genjutsu on someone else and free them. This is what makes Naruto so resistant, Kurama would notice any such disruption of Naruto’s chakra and would deal with it.
@@shawn092182 it’s been fairly well-established that genjutsu isn’t effective against Otsutsuki… not that they can’t be placed under it theoretically, just that there are far too many issues: 1. Genjutsu is chakra-based, so it can be absorbed and would be the first time the Otsutsuki tried to absorb anything. 2. Otsutsuki usually have both Byakugan and Rinnegan available to them. The moment they power up their Byakugan for battle, they’ll instantly notice any issues with their chakra or with that of anyone around them. Note that we’ve never once seen a Byakugan user under any genjutsu weaker than Infinite Tsukuyomi. Being able to see the genjutsu’s existence makes breaking it trivial for beings who can wield the power of entire worlds without breaking a sweat. You will lose that chakra tug-of-war, even if you somehow overpowered their chakra enough to activate a genjutsu on them in the first place. 3. Again, you need to be able to overcome your opponent’s chakra to put them under genjutsu at all, and you need to be able to catch them in it. When you’ve got an opponent with the power of worlds at their fingertips, who can move and react at easily lightspeed, it’s pretty hard to perform genjutsu even if your own speeds are comparable. Actually here’s a fun point: since Byakugan users can see other people’s chakra networks and train for extremely precise chakra control, they should actually be able to perform impressive genjutsu themselves since they can see exactly where to send their chakra into their opponent.
Common misconception: genjutsu doesnt require your opponent to have chakra. it affects the brain and the nervous system, which as a side effect affects chakra, we get examples of this like when shikamaru says it affects the nervous system, and not your chakra system. or more noticeable when kaguya uses the infinite tsukoyomi on humanity before they even had chakra, meaning it doesnt need chakra to work. great vid btw.
Hey my guy just wanted to let you know I subscribed to your channel about 2 weeks ago and you do have the best Naruto content imo and I've seen your subscriber number jump from 397k to 404k and I'm Glad to see it because I think you deserve it bro, keep it up, I'm inspired lol
Y'know what? Go ahead and make an entire mini-series called "How to Ninja Better" (tentatively named) where you follow through on your threat to explain how different Clans use their Kekkei Genkai and Hiden incorrectly, and how they _should_ do it instead. The biggest one that _I_ noticed? The Hyuga Clan _really_ should invest in archery or puppetry. As archers, they'd be _fully_ capable of assassinating high-value targets from _miles_ away. As Ninja Puppeteers, they could potentially control as many puppets as _Sasori_ did, even if not quite as skillfully.
The eye of perception and deception are not different physical eyes, but different categories of powers. Despite having Kamui, a perception power, in his only eye, he had a strong deception genjutsu.
I would think you would be able to put a seal on yourself with a small amount of chakra in it and program it to release the store of chakra whenever you are placed under a genjutsu, which would in turn disrupt your chakra nature enough to break you out of it. It would basically be a combination of the strength of a hundred seal and the seal that Danzo placed on all of the members of the root
I hated the lack of more Genjutsu. I really wanted them to expand on having to hit the senses in order to take them over. We see Sight and Sound. I perfume ninja doing it thru scent or one that needs physical contact mixing Gen and Taijutsu together would have also been really cool to. Perhaps if you could land a Genjutsu on every sense that could be the big kill or the one shot style finisher.
Honnestly I do feel like genjutsu is a huge-missed opportunity. Like it SHOULD'VE BEEN used in shippuden. Mainly because it would give us, the viewer, a false point of view (following the MC). Just like what happened when Naruto was fighting Itachi and he got placed in a genjutsu by Itachi's finger. We thought Naruto was doing real damage until we found out he was actually under genjutsu. Imagine the plot twists it could've given in the war arc.
Because it was a missed opportunity, genjutus is the perfect opportunity to have that “ rug swept out from under feeling” and they never really used It unless they were uchiha and even then if it was pressured their opponent could break out they just didn’t use genjutsu. What people don’t get is you or you tailed beats has to notice you’re in one and that small amount of time could’ve been useful ima fight
For all the naruto fans who are not reading boruto manga please read it. Recently I got chapter 79 spoilers and chapter is like god level. Eida a character changes everything, she uses her ability and make all the people in the world believe that kawaki Uzumaki is the son of naruto and boruto is the one who killed naruto. I mean literally this is like loki series where whole marvel universe struggles for infinity stones and in that we see them used as paperweights and here also all naruto series madara struggled for infinite tsukuyomi and here eida just within seconds uses her powers and make some kind of genjutsu like all over the world. This shirt is crazy
Please make the Hyuga Clan Rant video! Neji was always my favorite Ninja and the fact that he was done dirty even more will only make me respect him more.
My head cannon for why they used less genjustu as the series went on; is that as ninjas become more elite the effectiveness of genjustu diminish, outside of S tier jutstus like tsukiyomi. So basically as the series progressed we saw more and more S tier enemies, where genjustu just wouldn't work on. So the big scale genjustus were out of the question. But small scale, like Sasuke changing the amount of eyes on danzos arm, are the most effective against S ranked ninjas. But B and A rank ninjas woukd be more suspectable to genjustus.
basically you would get to the point where unless your illusion is incredibly subtle/near impossible ot break out in a useful manner, most experienced folks can tell something is up. plus most cells dont operate solo so someone elsem ight be around ot break them out
Genjustsu with the Hyuga clan " or how to make them cooler " will be a great video, i like the the idea of the Kurama clan, or the A'S with the Hyuga clan
When you brought up Sasuke using the genjutsu on Donzo, I was wondering if you could "layer" genjutsu? Like could you use obvious and semi obvious genjutsu on your opponent to kind of "condition" them to your expected genjutsu but casted a subtle one to catch them off guard?
yes you can layer genjutsu. prime example is Itachi vs orochimaru on the stairs. itachi places orochimaru in a genjutsu, first layer is "demonic illusion shackeling stakes" and then at the same time has a top layer allowing orochimaru to believe he is still living out his intentions of wrapping itachi up with the snake. then itachi releases top layer and orochimaru Is shown to stop moving the midway on the stairs and itachi takes his arm while he struggles to get out. this is high level genjutsu casting, he also does this to deidara. Itachi Vs Sasuke is more like a battle of control not really layers.
Great video...wish genjutsu was used more.... regarding how to break out of genjutsu, my theory is that sasuke broke out of Itachi's tsukuyomi because he used his cursed mark, since that's also like getting a surge of chakra an outside source....by that same logic it should be impossible to place people under genjutsu when they are collecting nature chakra (so jugo when in rage mode and kabuto should be immune to it since they can continuously gather chakra from outside source), but sadly for some reason that's not the case.
Great video honestly but can you make a video dealing with the entire Naruto timeline or the events we know that happened from both the LN reader and manga readers perspective I kinda need it for a Fic I'm writing and I forgot to do this myself beforehand but since I've never read the Light novels I cannot do it myself.
This videos makes me want a ranked and explained of who would be best suited in VS against Certain clans.. your original ranked/ explained konoha 13 video left me a bit creased (reasons) “Don’t get it even remotely twisted..” you are my favorite content creator period but I think it would be great to put a spin on vs and show the comparability of different nin to adapt to specific tests outside of facing of against madara, Naruto etc.
Well the book says he uses Mangekyo, not specifically Tsukuyomi. Same with Kabuto while under Izanami, the manga uses his Amaterasu eye, so Mangekyo genjutsu (or Itachi's level of such) is kinda built different.
Fr, the show even says genjutsu control Is brought on by 1 of the 5 senses. idk where he's getting this projecting thing from sounds more like Ino's mind control.
This was a fun video subject. Genjutsu overall effects your 5 senses, and 2 of those senses are the most used genjuysu types through ocular (sight) and sound (hearing). When you mentioned the hyuga do you think they could do a (touch) type genjutsu where they whoop your ass with gentle fist and when they connect not only disrupt your Chakra and poke you, but also either immediately or slowly put you in a genjutsu like that? Almost combining taijutsu and genjutsu together?
I think the genjutsu was an overkill in this case when you could silenced your enemy by cutting the chakra network and possibly paralyzed them with precised hit.
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123 it would be overkill for sure, im not gonna argue with that 😅🤣. Just speculation if there is other ways of applying genjutsu aside from ocular and sound.
@@iianmitchelldub As a speculation, I think it's plausible for a Hyuga do hit someone with a tactile genjutsu since genjutsu basically a disturbtion in the cakra flow, and the Hyuga are very good at it. Maybe they used to have this technique, but it's forgotten since they didn't have to fight an Uchiha anymore after joining Konoha.
bro right, I always wanted to have a random uchiha pop up and I guess that did happen in the form of Obito but we were hinted at that so early on. A random Uchiha posing up would've been dope.
It would have been cool to have a random uchiha missing nin pop up in part 1 but the pacing made it so we only ever see one team 7 mission canonically and unfortunately that would also take away from sasuke and itachis story arc but it would have been fun to see
Honestly I would love to see a video on how different abilities/clans could have used abilities in different ways. Just some fun theory crafting. Like yeah, Huga genjutsu users! Give them senbon for ranged combat too.
If I was a Shinobi I would want genjutsu to be my bread and butter. Genjutsu is by far the coolest Trucking type of Jutsu. In my humble opinion. I've always loved illusion based things. That goes for pretty much any anime to be honest.
I know you already made a video on the topic but what if jariya is waiting for Naruto in the same afterlife land like kakashi’s dad was in the pain arc and maybe that’s why the were not reincarnated in the 4th world war?
I feel with Dedara, his little device is as simple as a color blind person's eyes. I bet it's something as simple as he's gotten used to using one eye to see normally and then using the device on his other eye to see through a myriad of spectrums. It probably can simply put a certain lens with a hue filter over his vision that without prior knowledge to said device's functions you wouldn't be able to accurately recreate. Or on an even grander note it can constantly cycle through hues and spectrums that would be almost impossible for anyone to ever recreate properly without training with a similar or identical device. Might even be able to be filled with just enough Chakra that when/if it detects his eye not dilating in the normal/typical fashion it sends a shock to his ocular network that breaks him out.
I love that meme where u see a giant dictionary that says naruto and next too it it'd a comic saying naruto if shino went on the sasuke recover mission lmfaooo
Bro I come home from work and everyday u never fail to have a banger of a video on at least one of ur channels and I fw it🫡😌. Keep on makin our days brodie n keep up the fire vids💯
Hey Nick, big fan, after a lot of procrastinating I finally tried Otaku anonymous got hooked watched all of them now am sad there is no more back log episodes. I can't wait for the next one
*continuous to forget Minds Eye of the Kagura* Basically a Sensor-Jutsu, thats gives your 360° Vision over Kilimeter´s away. Directly in your Mind and so accurate that you can distinct Lie just by seeing other Charkraflow. And that Jutsu also displays your own Charkra. (The Uzumaki are just rigged, i love them.)
I remember Tsunade using genjutsu binding when she came as a reinforcement to Shikamaru when his shadowbind weakened... I was impressed with Tsunade during that moment...
just imagine the gaslighting potential. You could make someone thing every chair they sit on is actually shifted two inches to the left. You could mess with the numbers on clocks so someone is always either early or late and doesn't know why. You could make people think they arent wearing pants. The possibilities are endless
Wanna see some neck stabbing? Check out the manga page when haku appears the first time saving zabuza. In the frame you can clearly see 3 senbons entering zabuzas neck and exiting the other side
Day number 1 of asking to do a what if about if Kakashi still had Dual MS or potentially even EMS. I'm curious how much he thinks the story would change and what he realistically thinks would happen. I just personally think it's what *should* have happened. Obito ain't exactly gonna be traveling to the Kamui dimension from the pure lands lol
The frontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for logical reasoning. When we are dreaming it is mostly turned off, which allows us to believe our dreams are real until we wake up. I think it definitely makes sense that genjustu affects this part of the brain - essentially putting you into a waking dream made entirely from the casters imagination

So I'm guessing with lucid dreaming, the frontal cortex comes into play to a degree and helps us be aware we're in a dream?

Truly terrifying genjutsu isn't something flashy like Tsukiyomi, it's something incredibly subtle. Just like that
I've always wanted to see a genjutsu user start a fire and lead their opponent into it via genjutsu. make it seem like the fire isn't there.
Remember when itachi make naruto and bee (if i remember correctly) percept shuriken as crows? Super deadly..
A video about how the Hyuuga could have better leveraged their own Dojutsu would be a great video.

The eye of perception and deception are not different physical eyes, but different categories of powers. Despite having Kamui, a perception power, in his only eye, he had a strong deception genjutsu.
No one brings up the tsukuyomi Itachi used on izumi. She lived 80 years with him and “died of natural causes" in a fraction of a second
I would think you would be able to put a seal on yourself with a small amount of chakra in it and program it to release the store of chakra whenever you are placed under a genjutsu, which would in turn disrupt your chakra nature enough to break you out of it. It would basically be a combination of the strength of a hundred seal and the seal that Danzo placed on all of the members of the root
seals are just math for chakra. The entire seal thing is just broken. no pun intended
idk why they didn't put this in the show... like minato's character would've been great for it. fuinjutsu and genjutsu got so slept on :(
They should’ve given the byakugan some stages like the 3 tomoe it’s so overshadowed
Some members should've had a Byakugan Chakra Mode where the user opens all the tenketsu on the body
I like calling the CNS in Naruto "cerebral nervous system" rather than "central nervous system" since its not exactly the same cuz Chakra
The charka flow is connected to the CNS
Then why not call it the Chakra nervous system?
It always makes me think how much Chakra does shino have to have thousands constantly feeding off him is he near senju
Do I dare say it again?
Never forget Kurenai tried to use genjutsu against Itachi
And succeeded. Itachi saw the tree and such. It’s just that he then broke out of it because it was easy to tell it was genjutsu.
I hate this regurgitated joke tbh. She’s not as dumb as people try to make her out to be for this
Same joke over and over
I hated the lack of more Genjutsu. I really wanted them to expand on having to hit the senses in order to take them over. We see Sight and Sound. I perfume ninja doing it thru scent or one that needs physical contact mixing Gen and Taijutsu together would have also been really cool to. Perhaps if you could land a Genjutsu on every sense that could be the big kill or the one shot style finisher.
Honnestly I do feel like genjutsu is a huge-missed opportunity. Like it SHOULD'VE BEEN used in shippuden. Mainly because it would give us, the viewer, a false point of view (following the MC). Just like what happened when Naruto was fighting Itachi and he got placed in a genjutsu by Itachi's finger. We thought Naruto was doing real damage until we found out he was actually under genjutsu. Imagine the plot twists it could've given in the war arc.
Because it was a missed opportunity, genjutus is the perfect opportunity to have that “ rug swept out from under feeling” and they never really used It unless they were uchiha and even then if it was pressured their opponent could break out they just didn’t use genjutsu. What people don’t get is you or you tailed beats has to notice you’re in one and that small amount of time could’ve been useful ima fight
A false point of view for the audience? For instance, Madera actually won and everyone is still under a genjustu?
Genjutsu was used on numerous occasions in Shippuden
@@shawn092182 Well yes, but not necessarily. Like a similar situation but not this one in particular.
Damn you had this video in the drafts
For all the naruto fans who are not reading boruto manga please read it.
Recently I got chapter 79 spoilers and chapter is like god level.
Eida a character changes everything, she uses her ability and make all the people in the world believe that kawaki Uzumaki is the son of naruto and boruto is the one who killed naruto. I mean literally this is like loki series where whole marvel universe struggles for infinity stones and in that we see them used as paperweights and here also all naruto series madara struggled for infinite tsukuyomi and here eida just within seconds uses her powers and make some kind of genjutsu like all over the world.
This shirt is crazy
14:48 I can’t wait for that video. I have been thinking that lately as well. That a lot of justu wouldn’t even work on them
Please make the Hyuga Clan Rant video! Neji was always my favorite Ninja and the fact that he was done dirty even more will only make me respect him more.
My head cannon for why they used less genjustu as the series went on; is that as ninjas become more elite the effectiveness of genjustu diminish, outside of S tier jutstus like tsukiyomi. So basically as the series progressed we saw more and more S tier enemies, where genjustu just wouldn't work on. So the big scale genjustus were out of the question. But small scale, like Sasuke changing the amount of eyes on danzos arm, are the most effective against S ranked ninjas.
But B and A rank ninjas woukd be more suspectable to genjustus.
basically you would get to the point where unless your illusion is incredibly subtle/near impossible ot break out in a useful manner, most experienced folks can tell something is up.
plus most cells dont operate solo so someone elsem ight be around ot break them out
You forgot to add that the forever genin was able to cast genjutsu with reflecting light from his sword movements
Have you gone over how criminally underrated the Abarame are? Bugs are sick
Genjustsu with the Hyuga clan " or how to make them cooler " will be a great video,
i like the the idea of the Kurama clan, or the A'S with the Hyuga clan
When you brought up Sasuke using the genjutsu on Donzo, I was wondering if you could "layer" genjutsu? Like could you use obvious and semi obvious genjutsu on your opponent to kind of "condition" them to your expected genjutsu but casted a subtle one to catch them off guard?
Inception?
yes you can layer genjutsu. prime example is Itachi vs orochimaru on the stairs. itachi places orochimaru in a genjutsu, first layer is "demonic illusion shackeling stakes" and then at the same time has a top layer allowing orochimaru to believe he is still living out his intentions of wrapping itachi up with the snake. then itachi releases top layer and orochimaru Is shown to stop moving the midway on the stairs and itachi takes his arm while he struggles to get out. this is high level genjutsu casting, he also does this to deidara. Itachi Vs Sasuke is more like a battle of control not really layers.
Great video...wish genjutsu was used more.... regarding how to break out of genjutsu, my theory is that sasuke broke out of Itachi's tsukuyomi because he used his cursed mark, since that's also like getting a surge of chakra an outside source....by that same logic it should be impossible to place people under genjutsu when they are collecting nature chakra (so jugo when in rage mode and kabuto should be immune to it since they can continuously gather chakra from outside source), but sadly for some reason that's not the case.
Great video honestly but can you make a video dealing with the entire Naruto timeline or the events we know that happened from both the LN reader and manga readers perspective I kinda need it for a Fic I'm writing and I forgot to do this myself beforehand but since I've never read the Light novels I cannot do it myself.
This videos makes me want a ranked and explained of who would be best suited in VS against Certain clans.. your original ranked/ explained konoha 13 video left me a bit creased (reasons)
“Don’t get it even remotely twisted..” you are my favorite content creator period but I think it would be great to put a spin on vs and show the comparability of different nin to adapt to specific tests outside of facing of against madara, Naruto etc.
Well the book says he uses Mangekyo, not specifically Tsukuyomi. Same with Kabuto while under Izanami, the manga uses his Amaterasu eye, so Mangekyo genjutsu (or Itachi's level of such) is kinda built different.
I mean you didn't even touch on the fact that Edo tensei dinosaurs are immune to genjutsu.
Itachi’s index would like to enter the chat of needing to make eye contact 😂
Fr, the show even says genjutsu control Is brought on by 1 of the 5 senses. idk where he's getting this projecting thing from sounds more like Ino's mind control.
Never forget Itachi used a genjutsu against his love interest.
He died a virgin still
This was a fun video subject. Genjutsu overall effects your 5 senses, and 2 of those senses are the most used genjuysu types through ocular (sight) and sound (hearing).
When you mentioned the hyuga do you think they could do a (touch) type genjutsu where they whoop your ass with gentle fist and when they connect not only disrupt your Chakra and poke you, but also either immediately or slowly put you in a genjutsu like that? Almost combining taijutsu and genjutsu together?
I think the genjutsu was an overkill in this case when you could silenced your enemy by cutting the chakra network and possibly paralyzed them with precised hit.
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123 it would be overkill for sure, im not gonna argue with that 😅🤣. Just speculation if there is other ways of applying genjutsu aside from ocular and sound.
@@iianmitchelldub As a speculation, I think it's plausible for a Hyuga do hit someone with a tactile genjutsu since genjutsu basically a disturbtion in the cakra flow, and the Hyuga are very good at it. Maybe they used to have this technique, but it's forgotten since they didn't have to fight an Uchiha anymore after joining Konoha.
I still don't fully believe that every single Uchiha was in the village. There had to be a few out on missions or in other villages
I think the implication is meant to be that Fugaku had them all recalled so that they could enact their coup.
bro right, I always wanted to have a random uchiha pop up and I guess that did happen in the form of Obito but we were hinted at that so early on. A random Uchiha posing up would've been dope.
It would have been cool to have a random uchiha missing nin pop up in part 1 but the pacing made it so we only ever see one team 7 mission canonically and unfortunately that would also take away from sasuke and itachis story arc but it would have been fun to see
Honestly I would love to see a video on how different abilities/clans could have used abilities in different ways. Just some fun theory crafting.
Like yeah, Huga genjutsu users! Give them senbon for ranged combat too.
Itachi love reversing jutsu....kurenai and kabuto's contract control....
Did every one forget about Orochimaru , you would assume he would be interested in the current events of boruto especially the karma markings
I think he gave up on trying to learn everything
Or the writers just want you to forget about him
@@ofthecaribbean It doesn't make sense doe Orochimaru wants to be immortal , and the karma marking help with that
@@NJ_DEVIL he already is.
@@chubbyanemone696 but not with switching bodies every 3 years unless you know a different way he is I'm not aware of?
@@NJ_DEVIL hes been under house arrest for AWHILE now. Its assumed he figured it out
Best thing out of this is that Danzo, who was a very strong shinobi in his hay day, couldn't count.
Genjutsu is basically mind manipulation.
If I was a Shinobi I would want genjutsu to be my bread and butter. Genjutsu is by far the coolest Trucking type of Jutsu. In my humble opinion. I've always loved illusion based things. That goes for pretty much any anime to be honest.
A ninja's greatest tool is deception
@@ofthecaribbean see this guy gets it!
Can you please make a video on handsigns and the chakra releases
Nick has explained them but he never took a full video and focused on that alone
Would be a great vid ideal tho
I'd love to see that video about the Hyuga
I know you already made a video on the topic but what if jariya is waiting for Naruto in the same afterlife land like kakashi’s dad was in the pain arc and maybe that’s why the were not reincarnated in the 4th world war?
Bro when am I getting sealing jutsu explained. I’m telling that would be a banger video.
15:40 Imagine a woodstyle user using wood genjutsu
Would have been nice if there was a tailed beast that had some type of genjutsu in Naruto… that would have been sick
People forget about kin we get introduced to sound activated genjutusu early on in naruto
I feel with Dedara, his little device is as simple as a color blind person's eyes. I bet it's something as simple as he's gotten used to using one eye to see normally and then using the device on his other eye to see through a myriad of spectrums. It probably can simply put a certain lens with a hue filter over his vision that without prior knowledge to said device's functions you wouldn't be able to accurately recreate. Or on an even grander note it can constantly cycle through hues and spectrums that would be almost impossible for anyone to ever recreate properly without training with a similar or identical device. Might even be able to be filled with just enough Chakra that when/if it detects his eye not dilating in the normal/typical fashion it sends a shock to his ocular network that breaks him out.
Sad you didn't mention Ino's Mind Control Justsu, and especially Sakura's overpowering of it.
I was waiting for this video to happen one day 🔥
Bro came back looking Majestic
Kakashi means scarecrow, that's why when Kakashi was in Tsukuyomi, he was on a cross
Her genjutsu is making you believe she's not a trash can.
I love that meme where u see a giant dictionary that says naruto and next too it it'd a comic saying naruto if shino went on the sasuke recover mission lmfaooo
I remember when the Uchiha were just known for their Sharingan genjutsu and fire release jutsu, Susanoo ruined their power scaling for me
Genjutsu is like, "if you do that, you'll get caught". It manifests with thoughts. Illusion and reality are intertwined.
Bro I come home from work and everyday u never fail to have a banger of a video on at least one of ur channels and I fw it🫡😌. Keep on makin our days brodie n keep up the fire vids💯
Next video idea: “What If Obito Had Madara’s EMS”
Please make the hyuuga video i love the byakugan and would love to see more ways it could have been used
Hey Nick, big fan, after a lot of procrastinating I finally tried Otaku anonymous got hooked watched all of them now am sad there is no more back log episodes. I can't wait for the next one
*continuous to forget Minds Eye of the Kagura* Basically a Sensor-Jutsu, thats gives your 360° Vision over Kilimeter´s away. Directly in your Mind and so accurate that you can distinct Lie just by seeing other Charkraflow. And that Jutsu also displays your own Charkra. (The Uzumaki are just rigged, i love them.)
Please make a What if video about both Sasuke and Naruto being Jinjuriki of Kurama.
Sasuke as the Yin half and Naruto as the Yang half of Kurama
"it's like the narcan of the naruto universe" got me good bc it's so fucking accurate LMAO
Sensor types can apparently easily detect genjutsu as well.
With regards to sound base genjutsu, you forgot about when Kin used against Shikamaru in the chunin exam
I need a deep dive in the Aburame clan. One of my favorite clans but really want to see you explain them in detail.
Banger as always edit: nick we need another members only vid!
I remember Tsunade using genjutsu binding when she came as a reinforcement to Shikamaru when his shadowbind weakened... I was impressed with Tsunade during that moment...
He loves your channel and say keep up your work 🙂
I always thought she had some Uchiha blood that was why her eyes were red but didn't have the tomei
Tbh I think the reason it wasn’t used much is bc it’d be too effective against Naruto and we’ll can’t have thst
just imagine the gaslighting potential. You could make someone thing every chair they sit on is actually shifted two inches to the left. You could mess with the numbers on clocks so someone is always either early or late and doesn't know why. You could make people think they arent wearing pants. The possibilities are endless
New Video from Nick >>>>>
I like how explaining genjutsu is now /a day ago
Dojutsu/Hashirama cells/Talk no Jutsu. The TRUE three big types of Jutsu.
3:20 HE SAID THE THINGGGG
You never answered why they stopped using it in the show. Good video, thanks for the hard work.
This channel is responsible for much of my happiness
Genjutsu where natural ability matters to begin even attempt to master it.
Wanna see some neck stabbing?
Check out the manga page when haku appears the first time saving zabuza.
In the frame you can clearly see 3 senbons entering zabuzas neck and exiting the other side
really is a shame genjutsu was underutilized unless you know ocular jutsu but still
Hiruzen literally had the best prodigies in the leaf Shisui and Itachi smh
It's funny that Kishimoto dosen't understand human brain anatomy but has enough understanding on chemistry and physics to understand how Bayron works
Please do a video about Fuinjutsu (sealing techniques) next.
everything except the Reversal of Heaven and Earth tecnique
Yes add them hyuga never added elemental chakra to there palm strikes or rotation
Hey Nick, nice haircut. Also good video.
Happy he showed the shirt I was trying to figure it out
We need a dive into how Deidara trained his eye to be genjutsu resistant!
Day number 1 of asking to do a what if about if Kakashi still had Dual MS or potentially even EMS. I'm curious how much he thinks the story would change and what he realistically thinks would happen. I just personally think it's what *should* have happened. Obito ain't exactly gonna be traveling to the Kamui dimension from the pure lands lol
Except Deidara training his eye was an epic failure as Sauske spammed genjutsu on him.
Nick mentions stabb*ngs and Narcan.
Nick you okay?
Nick you didn't talk about the genjutsu that kaguya used on Haruma to make him fight against hagoromo
