Power Progression

Susanoo’s forms vary by wielder; later forms are not always a single linear evolution shared by every user.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Basic Form	48	Madara’s initial construct becomes substantially sturdier after his Mangekyō Sharingan surges under emotional strain.
Second Stage	48	Madara’s Susanoo gains a flesh-and-blood body and armor during his battle with Hashirama.
Third Stage	65	Madara is stated to have developed Susanoo to the third stage; Setsuna’s version later gains a lower body and a two-handed spear. 65 162
Fourth Stage	65	Madara can barely enter this stage at full output; it is described as a complete, armored form. 65 203
Complete Body / Perfected Susanoo	82	Jobu’s gigantic form can fly and rapidly recover damage through immense chakra reserves, but its size makes it slow and easy to target.
Three-Headed, Six-Armed Form	86	Jobu evolves his Complete Body Susanoo beyond its prior limits, abandoning the Wood Golem, enlarging it beyond 150 meters, and developing six wings and a reinforced Spiral Bone Spear.
Great Tengu Form	89	Madara manifests a four-armed demonic warrior with a Great Tengu mask and four massive blades.
Susanoo God	137	A form larger than Complete Body Susanoo; it continuously consumes chakra to repair itself while resisting overwhelming attacks.
Mass-Clone Susanoo	195	Jobu uses a mass Shadow Clone technique to split his three-headed, six-armed Susanoo into more than one hundred armed constructs and tear apart a stellar sealing net.

Background / History

Susanoo first appears when Madara enters the Chinoike conflict, immediately rendering the enemy’s self-detonating fighters ineffective and dominating the battlefield. Its appearance is compared to the descent of a god or demon. 35

During Madara’s clash with Hashirama, the technique develops from its basic manifestation into the Second Stage after Madara’s rage and Mangekyō ocular power intensify. Hashirama’s Wood Human and Wood Dragon are able to contest the armored construct, establishing Susanoo as a weapon suited to confront giant Wood Release creations. 48

Jobu later expands the technique’s use beyond direct combat. Madara places Susanoo over Jobu’s Wood Golem, while Jobu supplies chakra and Wood Dragons in a combined assault against Hashirama’s True Several Thousand Hands. The fused defense withstands part of the Buddha’s attack, but the impact leaves Madara bleeding from the eyes and Jobu internally injured. 69

On the moon, Jobu combines Susanoo with Wood Release, Shikotsumyaku, Garaga’s natural energy, and eventually the Rinnegan and Tenseigan. His enhanced three-headed, six-armed form is powerful enough to confront Otsutsuki Hamura, though Hamura’s Six Paths Attraction and sealing gates can restrain it. 80 86 87

Appearance

Susanoo manifests as an immense humanoid warrior made from materialized chakra. Its appearance, armament, mask, scale, and combat role differ according to its wielder’s ocular power. 69 177

• Early and mid-stage forms resemble armored warriors in ancient Warring States-era armor. 163
• Fourth-stage forms possess complete bodies and heavy armor. 203
• Madara’s Great Tengu form has four arms, a demonic mask, wings, and four massive swords. 89
• Jobu’s enhanced form has three heads, six arms, six wings, and a giant Spiral Bone Spear. 86
• Individual wielders can form distinct weapons, including swords, bows, shuriken, spears, magatama, and chakra-forged bone blades. 94 162 184 195

Abilities & Skills

Chakra Manifestation and Armor

Susanoo materializes chakra into a giant armored combat body. It can protect its user from large-scale ninjutsu, explosions, elemental assaults, and direct physical attacks.

• Can shield its wielder while attacking independently or in tandem with the user’s own techniques. 69 95
• Can endure attacks that destroy mountains, though sufficiently powerful strikes can crack, shatter, or destroy its armor. 89 90 170
• High chakra reserves allow rapid self-repair after damage. 82
• Normally requires intact Sharingan in both eyes; exceptionally advanced users such as Madara can still use it after losing their eyes. 167 189
• Sustained use strains the wielder’s chakra and ocular power, causing eye pain, bleeding, exhaustion, or temporary blindness. 69 163

Armament Creation

Each Susanoo can create chakra weapons that reflect its wielder’s individual ocular power and fighting style.

• Madara’s forms wield giant swords and can produce destructive sword waves. 89
• Izuna’s Susanoo uses a great bow capable of firing Amaterasu-infused arrows. 94
• Setsuna’s third-stage form uses a spear and launches Ninety-Nine Magatama, an attack comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb. 162 163
• Obito’s Susanoo uses Kamui-infused shuriken that tear through space. 184
• Jobu’s six-armed form can create All-Killing Ash Bones, chakra-forged bone blades that cause struck targets to disintegrate. 195

External Armor and Fusion

Because Susanoo is materialized chakra, it can be placed over other giant beings or constructs if the wielder has enough chakra and ocular power.

• Madara armors Jobu’s Wood Golem with Susanoo while Jobu supports it with chakra and Wood Dragons. 69
• Susanoo can also cover Tailed Beasts, including the Nine-Tails. 69
• Jobu’s lunar construct combines Susanoo, a Wood Golem, Shikotsumyaku weaponry, and Garaga’s senjutsu chakra. 80

Flight and Mobility

Advanced forms can develop wings and fly.

• Perfected Susanoo can fly, but its enormous size makes takeoff slow and leaves it vulnerable to concentrated attacks. 82
• Jobu’s enhanced form develops six wings after its original pair can no longer support its increased size. 86
• In the pirate world, Jobu can maintain his fourth-stage Susanoo for roughly a day using stamina rather than chakra. 203

Projection and Multiplication

Some wielders can create multiple Susanoo through clones or time-based ocular techniques.

• Madara creates dozens of Shadow Clones, each capable of using Susanoo. 90
• Setsuna projects a past version of himself into the present, enabling a second Susanoo to fight beside him. Attempting a third projection risks temporary blindness. 163
• Jobu creates more than one hundred Susanoo through mass Shadow Clones to break a celestial sealing formation. 195

Limitations

• Its strength depends directly on the wielder’s chakra, ocular power, and physical endurance. 69 160
• Large forms are powerful but can become slow, conspicuous targets. 82
• Complete Body Susanoo can be shattered by overwhelming techniques such as Hashirama’s Top Transformed Buddha. 90
• Even Eternal Mangekyō users retain an upper limit on ocular output; inexhaustible recovery does not eliminate physical limits. 163
• The highest forms cannot guarantee protection against opponents such as Saitama, whose Simple Punch shatters Madara’s Susanoo blade. 236

Relationships

• Uchiha Madara — Early and foremost wielder; develops Susanoo through successive stages, combines it with the Nine-Tails and Wood Clones, and manifests the Great Tengu form. 35 48 89 90
• Uchiha Jobu — Uses Susanoo as a platform for Wood Release, Shikotsumyaku, senjutsu, Rinnegan techniques, and mass-clone warfare. 80 86 95 195
• Uchiha Izuna — Wields a bow-bearing Susanoo and Amaterasu-infused arrows against Tobirama’s resurrected army. 94
• Uchiha Setsuna — Uses third- and fourth-stage forms, Ninety-Nine Magatama, and time-based projections to field multiple Susanoo. 143 162 163
• Uchiha Fugaku — Employs Susanoo defensively and offensively, including against Jūzō Biwa and invading village forces. 150 165
• Uchiha Obito — Uses an azure Susanoo armed with Kamui-infused shuriken, but is outclassed by Jobu’s three-headed, six-armed form. 184 185
• Senju Hashirama — A recurring opposing force whose Wood Release, True Several Thousand Hands, and Top Transformed Buddha repeatedly test Susanoo’s defensive limits. 68 69 89 90
• Otsutsuki Hamura — Faces Jobu’s enhanced Susanoo with Six Paths Attraction, Repulsion, Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and Wood Release sealing gates. 86 87

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Chinoike Clan conflict — Madara’s arrival in Susanoo breaks the enemy’s resistance and makes their living-bomb tactics ineffective. 35
• Uchiha–Senju war — Madara’s escalating stages and Jobu’s Susanoo-clad Wood Golem become central counters to Hashirama’s Wood Release. 48 69
• Moon invasion — Jobu uses increasingly advanced Susanoo forms against the lunar Otsutsuki, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and Hamura. 80 82 86
• Four Great Ninja Villages war — Madara and Izuna’s complete-body Susanoo establish the overwhelming gap between the Uchiha leadership and conventional village forces. 88 89
• Uchiha exodus and expansion — Setsuna, Fugaku, Tekka, and Inabi deploy four Susanoo simultaneously to protect the clan from a coordinated assault. 150
• Otsutsuki Main Family invasion — Susanoo becomes an interstellar weapon, from Madara’s meteor-summoning clones to Jobu’s hundred-construct counterattack against stellar chains. 194 195
• Pirate world conquest — Susanoo remains functional without conventional chakra, allowing Jobu and Madara to challenge Shichibukai, Emperors, and the Marine Admirals. 203 204 209 226
• One-Punch Man world — Madara’s Complete Body Susanoo is tested against Saitama and has its sword shattered by a restrained Simple Punch. 236

Trivia

• Susanoo’s appearance is not standardized: weapons and masks differ according to the user’s ocular power. 177
• A fourth-stage Susanoo is complete and heavily armored but lacks the wings needed for flight; Fugaku and Setsuna cannot normally reach Perfect Susanoo due to their ocular-power limits. 160
• In the pirate world, ordinary chakra-based ninjutsu is restricted, but Susanoo persists and is governed primarily by stamina. 203 204
