What the hell is Itachi going to do? All he has is his mangekyou jutsus which Raikage has already been shown to easily avoid.
Itachi's control of the mangekyou jutsus (particularly amaterasu) is as good or better than Itachi's. Only his Susanoo is worse and that won't help in this fight.
I honestly think that Itachi is a bit more adept at controlling the Mangekyo jutsus than Sasuke...
his quick thinking and nice application of the Mangekyo jutsus (didn't he fuse two?) was what saved them from Jiraiya's toad esophagus thingy jutsu, without him Kisame would have probably been at the mercy of Jiraiya...
i still don't know who would win though since powerbomb > sharingan
lol, you call that "quick thinking and nice application"? I'm sorry but it doesn't take a genius to think "oh hey, i'm stuck in a building and can't get out. I have a jutsu that can blast and burn through anything. WHAT CAN I DO?!"
Itachi never combined two, however SASUKE has done so with his amaterasu-armored Susanoo, which demonstrates far more delicate control of Amaterasu than Itachi ever did. Hell he can do shape-manipulation with Amaterasu while all Itachi ever did was burn stuff.
Tsukiyomi and other sharingan genjutsu, I don't think we even have to compare as Sasuke overcame Itachi's even without the MS.
Let's face it Itachi may have been holding back during their fight, but now that Sasuke has an MS and people are saying his control is better than Itachi's was, if they were to have the same matchup now Sasuke would wipe the floor with his bro.
you're right, sasuke has indeed gotten more powerful, but i'm still leaning towards Itachi when it comes to control, i guess their only fight would be a poor choice for comparison as Sasuke has gotten stronger and Itachi was holding back...
Control would go to Sasuke imo, except for Susano'o. Though a perfected Susano'o might cause more pain than an unperfected one according to Sasuke.
Indeed . Fact is, it would be a poor choice for Itachi's capabilities as he holding back and was sick.

This is just conjecture, but so far, I don't think we have actually seen the Raikage express pain, he did not do so from having his arm burn from Amaterasu, and he did not from cutting his own arm off.
Dunno, disregard this if you want, but I think Raikage could take it.
