Work of Jazz genius unrelated.

So... it's a black hole monster with the potential of backfire where you lose all and your opponent nothing?
Seems cool but dunno how they relate to the original cards. 7/10

Actually a pretty cool effect and awesome picture. Did you make it yourself?
When this card attacks is battle damage still applied?
8/10

Actually, the original Sasuke Samurai #1 (and two of the others, #2 & #4 if I recall correctly) have effects that destroy the monster it attacks without applying damage calculation (or along those lines). I decided to try and make it usable, and I am yet unsure if I succeeded.

Picture was by -Dae-, a regular contributor in TCG and one of YCM's finest image makers (mainly because he does good requests). Damage still works, but it is for the most part irrelevant as most would just ram it into a beatstick or something to activate its effect. You could use it to attack an Ojama token perhaps, but that's so situational it's basically a Wikia combo.

All comments are appreciated.

I see what you were going for, but as is the card is unusable, since it says "Destroy all monsters you control" including itself. The only way it could even work would be to summon this with Skill Drain on the field and then nuke Skill Drain.

I'm hoping I don't sound pretentious when I assume you meant "Destroy all other monsters you control" as I have often made the mistake myself.

In which case it's basically a Dark Hole with a body; one that can be countered, but also one that can be summoned from the Graveyard or the Deck for reuse.

In this case...I think there's a valid use for it.

I can see this card being used in a graveyard strategy, but nothing else im afraid

I updated the card to fix said mistake, it was nothing more than a typo.

Like many good cards, this card does require some support for it to achieve it's potential. It is great for re-use and stopping swarming, for instance, and the fact that it can be re-used is very useful. Also, you can summon other monsters as long as you summon this before, so in Main Phase 2, for instance, you could drop a Tuner and synch it with this so it doesn't just become dead weight.
