During their fight with Kaguya, Obito, or even Sasuke didn't use their Susanoo
which could have protected them from Kaguyas "Bone Ash" jutsu.

Same is the case when Sasuke fought Madara (Tobirama was lying on the ground
paralysed and Sasuke jumped from above to attack Madara). Sasuke could have
used his Susanoo, but he didn't.

Was this just a loophole on the writer's part? Or is there a reason behind it?

Why wasn't the Susanoo used?


While battling Kaguya, the Susanoo was not a good option because of her
abilities. In Episode 459 of Naruto Shippuden, Sasuke was actually using his
Susanoo during the beginning of the fight. However, Sasuke stopped after he
realized that Kaguya's Rinne-Sharingan ability could absorb all forms of
Jutsu, including his Susanoo.

Just like Green mentioned, the Susanoo is a massive humanoid projection of its
user's Chakra and so the entire Humanoid avatar can be absorbed by someone who
posseses the Rinne-Sharingan, and thats actually what happened when Sasuke
tried to attack Kaguya with his Susanoo, she simply absorbed the attack along
with his entire Susanoo.

In the case of when Sasuke came after Madara (Episode 393), He was trying to
catch Madara off guard while Tobirama kept him preoccupied, and so a Susanoo
would have been a bad choice in that scanrio because of how big it is and
since its a massive avatar of chakra, anyone could easily sense it.

Kaguya can absorb all forms of ninjutsu, which rendered Susano'o useless.
Sasuke only uses techniques like that on people who dont absorb jutsu, like
Naruto. Plus, there would be no need to use Susano'o on Madara's Limbo Clone
because physical attacks do not work on it. When he had chances to use
Susano'o against Madara's Limbo, he didn't understand how the jutsu worked and
might have felt there would be no need for its use. They have recently been
putting Sasuke in situations where he doesn't need to use his stronger jutsu,
like Kagatsuchi or Susano'o, which is why his fights have started taking way
longer than they should be.

As for why Obito can't use it, there is literally only one manga panel that
completely sums it up. [![enter image description

Obito had already given Kakashi his left eye by the time he awakened Mangekyou
Sharingan, thus couldn't use Susano'o. Obito is later seen to get back both of
his Sharingan, but since he awakened it before he had both, I guess the eyes
could no longer be seen as a "vessel" for Susano'o to be used.
