Is Kankuro by far the worst puppet user of the three?

Why do people compare children to adults and think that's valid? Chiyo had 6 or 7 decades to perfect her craft, Sasori had 3 or 4 decades. Kankuro has had 1 decade. In that time he has acquired 3 of the strongest puppets out there and that's assuming he didn't get the Kazekage puppet as well. Kankuro gets a new puppet everytime he reappears in the manga and with him being the only known puppet master left it stands to reason that he would have the Kazekage puppet as well.

Have a Sasori vs Kankuro with the same puppets.... Kankuro is the winner. Why? because as the manga says Black tech > Red tech.

Um guys... Have you all forgotten that both Sasori and Chiyo both have SEVERAL DECADES worth of training and tempering??? Training that Kankuro just hasn't had because he is YOUNG??? I mean you shouldn't call Kankuro weak or fodder simply because he isn't quite on the level of a woman who has been using puppets for probably 70-80+ YEARS and a 40-something year old man who HIMSELF is a puppet that can control other puppets. The guy is only like 17 or 18 with probably only a good 10 or 11 years worth of experience using the Puppet Master Jutsu. So of course he isn't on their level, but the fact that Sasori acknawleged himas his successor and bequeathed his most prized posessions to him at that age SHOULD speak volumes.

Kankuro states he has surpassed Sasori, and never after that does Sasori deny it.

Irrelevant, sadly. The fact remains, Sasori could control hundreds of puppets. With the arsenal that he created, he decimates Kankuro's arsenal without difficulty. All of Kankuro's puppets are Sasori's after all.

Reread the OP, it is about which is the better user. The better user is the one with the better technique. The better technique according to the manga is black technique. Which Sasori didn't deny. Now you'll ask me "how" and etc. I do not know so. I am simply telling you what the manga says.

Disputable. Plus, we have no evidence that is a definite truth U_U We only have like 5 vague chapters about this topic.

sasori had a special skill for using the skills of dead bodies. the third kazekage was as powerful as he was under sasori because of sasori's abilities. with kankuro, the third kazekage's deadbody would be just another puppet.

Manga already stated Kankuro is better. He trapped deidara easily as well. An accomplishment that many cant say the same.

Hence, why its better to go with whats already set up in the manga, instead of trying to create scenarios where we haven't seen Kankuro's powers.

Sasori never said that Kankuro surpassed him. Kankuro said that he surpassed Sasori.



This is a biased opinion because Kankuro is not Sasori, but he is referring to himself. They would need a third party to confirm that Kankuro surpassed Sasori or we would need to see more to make a judgement. Sasori did not have any puppets which handicapped him here.

Did Kankuro deny it? Was Kankuro even hurt by Sasori? no.

Such a stupid thread:Chiyo and Sasori had way more development time of their puppets skills then Kankuro.Sasori was mastering puppets years before Kankuro was born, Chiyo was doing it decades before Kankuro's birth.of course Kankuro is the least skilled, he's 19.Sasori was 35, and Chiyo 73 before their deaths

Kankuro hasnt surpassed either one.
Sasori was able to use himself to fight, and powerful puppets laced in poison. Conqured an entire country.

Chiyo was able to control 10 powerful puppets, and use taijutsu at the same time. Took over an entire castle with them.


Kankuro uses hand-me-downs and has no skill in taijutsu. He can take on one high level opponent at best.

Kankuro has not shown that he is as pwerful as Chiyo or Sasori was.

Does Sasori HAVE to deny it? Or was he being humble?

How can Sasori hurt Kabuto without his main weapon, his puppets. He had random Shinobi, but they weren't his true puppets which he knew and used so well.

Well considering that we haven't seen it yet, it doesn't exist. You're basically saying the opposite. You're saying he has powers that he hasn't shown yet and cannot just say "well he hasn't shown his full potential!".
