Are explosive tags powerful to rival some higher techniques?

Discuss please.

I mean, Hanzo maimed Nagato, and Tsunade's brother was unrecognisable?

if your caught in them then your done no matter who you are unless you've got some jutsu for it which alot of the times now in naruto people do have a good defense for them

Susano'o, Tailed Beast, Speed, Intelligence, all that's needed.

I wouldn't consider kunai more powerful than higher level techniques, yet they have been shown to be able to kill if used correctly. I hold the same belief for explosive tags.

I am sure they would come in handy if conserving chakra is an issue, as well as setting traps (Shikamaru's trap when fighting Hidan, Konan's trap when fighting Tobi, etc).

As Zetsu said, "Someone with kunai can be beaten by someone with pebbles if they are thrown by a master". If strategy was used then they would be effective, but blindly throwing them at someone won't do much good (as they are easy to dodge).

Yes they are.

Kamui, is all you need.

Konan would like to speak to you.]

If Izanagi wasn't used, Obito would've been eliminated by thousands of paper bombs.

Power wise not really, useful wise maybe... but still very ineffective without surprise
