Susanoo

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

Susanoo's appearance changes with Yuji's output and development, ranging from a colossal humanoid guardian to a towering black giant and finally an insectoid Hyper Zetton-inspired construct.

• Early forms are colossal humanoid chakra avatars capable of wielding a greatsword. 6
• The evolved full-body form is pitch-black and stands over 100 meters tall. 98
• The 200-meter combat form possesses four arms and a giant sword. 109 110
• The perfected form resembles a giant insect, with a dark exoskeleton, numerous armored legs, and two enormous scythes. 115

Abilities & Skills

Overwhelming Defense

Susanoo functions as Yuji's primary defensive construct, enduring attacks that would otherwise be decisive.

• Most conventional attacks have negligible effect on its body. 6
• It can resist immense Earth Release pressure from closing stone walls. 34
• Damaged sections repair themselves quickly. 41
• It withstands combined attacks from Ōnoki, Nagato, Kitsuchi, and the Cloud Village's A and B. 109
• Madara's Complete Body Susanoo fails to land an effective attack against the Hyper Zetton Larva Form. 115

Chakra and Ninjutsu Absorption

Yuji can employ Susanoo's defensive energy to neutralize incoming techniques.

• A jade-green shield absorbs and nullifies Ōnoki's Dust Release: Limit Removal Technique. 41
• Yuji reflects an upgraded Dust Release attack, leaving a massive hole in the mountain behind Iwagakure's forces. 42

Greatsword Combat

Susanoo wields chakra-forged swords on a battlefield scale.

• Its initial strike kills Danzō and destroys part of the Uchiha compound. 6
• A sword slash annihilates large numbers of Mist ninja during the assault on Kirigakure. 99
• Its strikes split the earth, erase terrain, and leave opponents unable to fight if hit directly. 110
• Madara's chakra greatsword repeatedly shatters while clashing against the Hyper Zetton Larva Form. 115

Hyper Zetton Larva Form

Yuji's perfected Susanoo abandons the usual skeletal construction process for an insectoid exoskeleton.

• Formed from an exoskeleton-like dark shell rather than beginning with bones. 115
• Constructed from immense Yin-nature chakra and ocular power. 115
• Features heavily armored multiple legs and two massive, unexpectedly agile scythes. 115
• Its durability and power exceed Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. 115

Trivia

• Susanoo's early displayed weakness is theoretical: opponents believe exhausting Yuji's chakra is the only conceivable way to overcome it, though they doubt his chakra can actually be depleted. 6
• The 100-meter form's emergence causes fear among both Konoha's forces and captured Mist ninja. 98
• The Hyper Zetton Larva Form is specifically noted for being unlike a conventional Susanoo because it manifests an exoskeleton before bones. 115
