The jump in power level pre-war to war is as big as Part 1 to Part 2

I remember how powerful and destructive the Deidara fights looked, as well as the other Akatsuki teams compared to Part 1 fights. Now though, that level of power is fodder level. Same as how guys like Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Kakashi(their part 1 versions) were so good in Part 1 but all became fodder compared to Part 2 characters.... We had BM and SM which were each individually good enough to make a ninja top 5 in Pre War Part 2, and now those were combined into one. We also have a character who has Senju DNA, MS, Rinnegan, and a Juubi, each power which would have been good enough to make a ninja among the best in pre-war Part 2...

These power scale jumps are getting ridiculous and out of hand.

Jiraiya is not a fodder in part two. But I see where you are coming from. I miss the moments when you could kill a ninja with a shuriken, instead of a meteor. Hiruzen vs Orochimaru was a great fight. Zabuza vs Kakashi was as well.

No it's not ridiculous it's appropriate. Enemies just gonna get stronger and stronger in every arc. Yes I do believe there's gonna be a new arc

This is off subject, but I think it's funny how you said a Juubi, lol :p

OT: I agree. We should start calling it Kurama Ball Z.

Its not appropriate. The standards should not rise this much for what makes a powerful ninja. Its like Usain Bolt being the fastest runner one day and then suddenly being indistinguishable from a regular guy the next day.

Jiraiya did not show his potential until part 2. He is still top 20 if you ask me. Kakashi also got a big power boost in this war. In part one he was powerful but was never supposed to be kage and that is still holds true.

I agree man. Kunai's and Shuriken, Taijutsu... It took a lot of the strategic battling out of it, and now it's all about power.

Naruto was inspired by DBZ so... yeah..

Even that was ridiculous. Saiyan Saga Vegeta and Vegeta's dad were supposed to be some of the strongest saiyans ever. Why are end of Buu Saga Goku and Vegeta so much more powerful than those guys ever were then? The standards shouldn't be able to be shattered by that high of a degree. Its like how Hiruzen was supposed to be one of the most powerful ninjas in Part 1 but would literally get obliterated by any of the current Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki guys

Kunai and tools : naruto vs pain, sasuke vs itachi, uchiha brothers vs kabuto and some other fight. Taijutsu: killer bee vs taka, lee beat madara and some other fight. strategy/brainz: almost all fights in this war use strategy and brianz... even in previous chapter naruto make great plan.

Yup power levels went crazy.

Even main character who is suppose to be a ninja glows. Now this is suppose to be dangerous for a ninja; since aspect of sneak is somewhat important; but it does not matter to him since he is too damn op. Also every ounce of skillset mattered, such as taijutsu, shruken and kunai usage etc; but they got fodderized.

I remember in DragonBall, Goku had a hard time with strong and better trained humans. Now he can easily destroy planets, and can also easily destroy other fighters who can destroy planets(Frieza and Cell).
