Truth be told, Kakashi has grown up a lot since he killed himself with Kamui. His stamina has reached decent levels, I would say. He continously fought high class shinobi for 24 hours, using many Raikiri and other raitons, as well as Kamui.

Without intel, nobody can expect Kakashi to have the Mangekyou. Hell, not many know of it. ( Sasuke, Obito, Gai, Naruto, Choji... and whom else? )

The OP thing about Kamui ( which, imo, is the best MS technique, especially when you have both eyes ) is that it's a one shot kill.

Kakashi has shown the ability to use Kamui on extremely fast objects, such as Pain's nail, Asura Path's rocket and Naruto's attacks against Obito.

A bloodlusted Kakashi probably has the strongest oneshot potential in the whole manga, up there with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. Thing is, those techniques can be countered.

Counters to Amaterasu:

1. Kamui
2. Shinra Tensei
3. ( Supposedly ) Preta Path
4. ( Supposedly Gaara's Sand )
5. Very high speed
6. Sensing abilities

Tsukuyomi:

1. Perfect Jins
2. Mangekyou
3. Not looking into Itachi's eyes
4. Sensing abilities + 3
5. Tsunade's healing ( ikr? )

Counters to Kamui?

1. Sensing + high speed.
2. Extremely high speed.
3. Kamui.
4. FTG.

Almost nobody in the top tier has Sensing abilities. There's SM Naruto, Tobirama ( supposedly ) and... who else?

That's what I'm getting at. Kamui is reaaally strong. It's been shown to have the ability to warp targets at a long range ( Asura's rocket, Deidara ). Kakashi is just... well IC most of the time. In a 1v1 versus thread the character doesn't care about his own well being. Bloodlusted Kakashi wouldn't care if he gets blind, loses an arm or his eye. All he'd care about is win.

In which case, why would he not start off with Kamui? As stated above, very few know of it.

Now, my 2c on who could beat him.

1. Hashirama Senju, Madara ( God tier ).
2. Nagato, Obito.
3. Sasuke, SM Naruto, possibly KCM Naruto.
4. Minato, A due to Kakashi having no feats against V2 A.

Why does KCM Naruto and BM Naruto not stomp? Because Kakashi can kamui himself. While SM Naruto can sit down and gather senjutsu chakra while Kakashi chills in his Kamui dimension, KCM Naruto and BM Naruto are on a timer. When their mode runs off, Kakashi destroys them.

Why I think Tsunade can't beat him? Way too slow to avoid Kamui.

Gaara? We all know how Gaara fights. Kakashi kamui'd a rocket, a flying dragon, a susanoo arrow and a high speed nail. Even if Gaara flew, he would still be caught.

Onoki? His Jinton is slower than Kamui. It needs hand seals. Kakashi kamuis instantly. If he uses that he's bust. Without it, Kakashi beats him via sharingan jutsu-copying and superior ninjutsu.

V1 A? Kakashi has the potential to beat him. Sasuke reacted to it and managed to raise an Amaterasu shield. Kakashi should be able to outsmart him and somehow fool him into leaving himself undefended. Debatable, though.

Oro? No intel on Kamui means he'll get blasted. Oro doesn't have Kamui/Amaterasu avoiding feats. Oral rebirth is a favorable exchange. Kakashi can kamui 3-4, maybe 5 times. Oro uses 2 oral rebirths and dies of asthma.

Doubt Yata can block Kamui. It's not elemental ninjutsu.

Also, a bloodlusted Kakashi won't let Itachi put up Susanoo, which has 3 levels and can't be completed instantly.

Itachi still needs to form up Susanoo before that happens. Kirin has a built time and Itachi saw it coming.

Also why would Itachi use Susanoo from the get go? He has no intel on kamui. As far as he knows Kakashi's strongest weapon is raikiri. If anything, I believe he'd use Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi.

1. Amaterasu

Kakashi kamui's itachi and starts burning. He then kamui's himself and lives.

2. Tsukuyomi

Kakashi is not affected and kamuis his head off. Itachi thinks something about how a non Uchiha gained the Mangekyou and dies.

The only counter for kamui is kamui itself, at the moment when never saw kamui fail against speed, in contrary it always worked on highest speed even on naruto bm...
Unless if you want speculate and interprete it's just an opinion, i speak with facts .
facts > opinions,speculations,interpretations.

well if its bloodlusted like you said .. that means hed start with strongest attack .. which is susunoo ..

Besides to your amertaraso argument ... if kakashi uses kamui right of the bat means he would be about to use kamui when itachi uses amertarasu and when you get burning flames on you your head tends to move in pain .. so he misses with kamui itachi realises he has it due to the fact kakashi just warped some piece of the terrain and goes into susunoo with yata mirror

I doubt even Hiraishin can escape a mastered Kamui working at full speed, considering what took place between Obito and Minato. With Kamui, Kakashi has the potential to beat pretty much anyone; that can't be denied. It's just that it wouldn't be IC for him to use it so early on in a fight, so i'd argue that under normal stipulations, Kakashi is going to lose against the top tiers. But yeah, under special conditions (like him being in a bloodlusted state, MS activated, opponent lacking knowledge etc), Kakashi's going to get most people with Kamui.

The only counters to the techinque when it's working at maximum capacity are Kamui, Bunshin feints (like the Moku Bunshin) and possibly Shinra Tensei (if the opponent can anticipate the attack).

Can't see how Shinra Tensei can escape Kamui.

2. Minato's FTG did work against Obito, but I also think that Minato could use FTG to get out of Kamui's dimension.

(like him being in a bloodlusted state, MS activated, opponent lacking knowledge etc)

But the opponent does lack knowledge. That's the point. Very few know of Kamui. Even less would expect it.

Sasuke, and Itachi

Both get Kamui'd before they can use full Susanoo.

The only counter for kamui is kamui itself, at the moment when never saw kamui fail against speed, in contrary it always worked on highest speed even on naruto bm...

Minato avoided it and so did Deidara, even though Kakashi didn't know how to aim it.

f kakashi uses kamui right of the bat means he would be about to use kamui when itachi uses amertarasu and when you get burning flames on you your head tends to move in pain

Both would use their techniques at the same time. The second Kakashi burns, Itachi is warped. Difference is Kakashi survives the burn. Amaterasu burns slowly. Itachi gets his face warped off.

Additionally, Kakashi can always use the Hiding in the Mist technique which he saw Zabuza perform and use his ninken to locate and warp Itachi.

Shinra Tensei affects gravitational fields, so yes, it's possible that it could have some sort over influence of the hole in space Kakashi's Kamui creates.

And yet, Obito said he'd simply warp Minato quicker next time. Obito was even confident that touching Minato would be enough to end the fight in their final face off. That's why I said a full speed Kamui is going to be fatal for pretty much anyone.

Oro gets warped instantly.

Hashirama Tobirama Madara - I won't touch this. They showed no way of countering Kamui but if I said Kakashi beats them people would go crazy.

Sasuke gets warped.

Bee's head gets warped.

Gai uses gates, Kakashi warps himself, Kakashi comes out after Gai collapses and kills him.

Minato, Obito win easily.

Hiruzen has no feats.

I would agree if their kamui works the same way but unfortunally it's not the case since Obobi need to be very close and almost touch his target.Furthermore manga shown that Kakashi's kamui is faster than Tobi's kamui so your argument is invalid.
About Deidara it's not Deidara that dodged it with his speed,Kakashi said himself that he couldn't control the size and the location of the barrier limiting the area which mean that he didn't mastered kamui.

Oh well, cool, I guess.

What about Minato escaping Kamui dimension with FTG?

Except he has MS so Tsukuyomi won't do squat.

Did you even read the thread? It was specified at least twice.
