As far as killerbee breaking out of tsukiyomi is concerned, imo it's rubbish. Tsukiyomi is instant, you can't break out of it. It's like saying you blocked a punch after taking the punch in the face.

If kishimoto made killerbee receive the full effects of tsukiyomi but had him fully recovered in a few seconds because of his bijuu chakra, that would be somewhat plausible. But to say he broke out of tsukiyomi is a serious error on Kishimoto's behalf that has caused confusion amongst the readers.

In the fight between Team 7 + Chiyo vs Itachi's 30% clone, Chiyo describes the way to fight doujutsu. She says the best way is to have a companion strike either you or the opponent, in order to release you from it. Killerbee claims that the hachibi disturbed his chakra and thus dispelled the genjutsu. It's essentially the same concept as what Chiyo described. However, Kakashi explained to Chiyo that the MS's tsukiyomi can't be dispelled that way because it is instant.

Also, to say Sasuke's tsukiyomi isn't as powerfull as Itachi's is irrelevant. The main characteristic of tsukiyomii is that it's instant. If it's not instant, it's not tsukiyomi.

So in the end, either the jutsu was tsukiyomi and Kishimoto downplayed it too much, or the jutsu wasn't tsukiyomi and Kishi mistakenly made it look like it was.

At this point, the only plausible explanation would be for Kishimoto to have Sasuke say that it was a failed tsukiyomi, that he tried to use that jutsu and it was unsuccesfull. And let killerbee think that he broke out of it...

That's just imo.
