ummm... yes... it was pretty easy to see.. LoL. I love Hashirama. just thought i'd like to say that. so I did. go me.
also I agree with the others.. the truth is not hype. Hashirama was/is a God among shinobi. even saying that isn't hype, it's true. stuff like that has even come from Madara's mouth. he didn't actually call Hashi a god, but Orochimaru did.. I think.. when he said "it's an honor to receive a compliment from the God of Shinobi.." didn't he say that? when Hashi told Hiruzen "you raised a fine pupil?" those aren't the Exact words, I know, but that is what he said to Hiruzen then Oro said it was an honor cuz hashi was a god, or maybe he said he was considered a god.. but he DID use the word God didn't he? if i'm wrong, it's ok, I'm not gonna take the time to go look at the manga page but ANYWAY Hashi's the mothaf.uckin man ya'll. he's the man
and i'm not even a Hashi fanboy. sure i'm a fan, LoL, but I love how the other characters in the manga revere him, especially Madara. when they were alive, Hashi ALWAYS whooped Madara's ass. LoL. from rock skipping to ass-whoopin to keeping his brother alive to becoming Hokage, Hashi beat Madara at everything, everytime. Madara never won, not even Once. at anything. LoL.
by the way, I Love Madara too. I like him as much as I like Hashi, just for different reasons. and even though i'm a fan of Madara, it's still funny how Hashi ALWAYS whooped his ass and Madara had to steal his power and acquire the Rinnegan just to be a match for him, LoL. so I honestly love both characters, but as warriors, even though they are close to equal, based on past history I still put hashi over madara, until madara actually beats him in a fight.
