Sharingan Genjutsu* hcs let's go
Utilitarian: Madara & Sasuke
Ninjutsu experts who use it as support for their other more destructive techniques
Sensory genjutsu that makes you miscalculate distances, or how many weapons you have left, or the state of your opponents, or how tired you actually are
Quick Paralysis is a staple, this one's easy to break if one is a half decent shinobi but the split second freeze is what's actually lethal against these two
Sasuke doesn't enjoy genjutsu too much bc of how deeply he associates it with Itachi
Madara uses it sparingly bc it's just not tactile enough. no satisfying feedback
Nightmare Fuel: Itachi & Shisui
The goal is to avoid direct engagement
The more harmless variety is for non-combat. it makes the target dazed and confused and docile so they just Go Away
In battle the goal is to convince the brain of the pain it's feeling so thoroughly that it causes actual physical symptoms
Itachi has the more 'lethal' genjutsu, Shisui’s is harder to break
While Itachi can maintain it over long-ish distances, he needs close contact to cast it first
Shisui doesn't, he can cast over long distances without eye-contact. Genjutsu sniper.
Most Annoying Bastard in the World: Obito
It's not particularly powerful, like maybe a 5/10? 6.5 on a good day
It is incredibly incredibly difficult to break however
A winding twisting spiralling layered tangle with no way out
That is how he kept a bijuu under it
Obito is usually too preoccupied to focus on the narrative specifics of what's going on so it can quickly devolve to a confusing acid trip if he's not focusing (which has its perks)
Satan is taking notes: Izuna
"that lamp looks weird..."
*not inclusive of special MS techniques like Tsukiyomi or Kotoamatsukami. Just the Sharingan-specific genjutsu that can only be cast through it.
