You've been taking tips from Bogard? So you don't mind if I give Zexion a point or two?![]()
No I didn't read our convo if you like.. I merely asked for databook info so I can back some of the points I made
I just want to point out that the Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu technique is only used when the user is above his opponent. That is it. Nice debate so far.
First things first, I would like to say good luck to my opponent Zexion.. I hope we have a good debate. =D This is my first legitimate 1 on 1 debate so please don't expect anything amazing but I will try my best.. can't say I don't feel pressured though seeing as the majority go for Jiraiya Lol I will try my best to prove that right.. now on to my counter opening argument.
I agree for the most part on Domu's tanking capabilities and feats but this won't help him against something like Rasengan which can also do internal damage.. while his body is mostly made up of threads he does possess internal organs such as the heart which keeps him alive.. considering the distance and the speed that Jiraiya possess in sage mode he should be able to cover this distance and land this. Without knowledge Kakuzu will use Domu as you have said to tank this without knowing that Rasengan deals internal damage. Taking into consideration that this is the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan which is not only bigger than a person [You must be registered for see links] it can also be formed almost instantly. Considering the size and power of the rasengan this should effectively kill all his hearts thus ending the match.. also I'd like to add the masks are on the back and I have a feeling you would say this to counter so I'll just cover this now anyways when rasengan hits a target all that force exits out from the back [You must be registered for see links] and this was caused by a normal rasengan just imagine ULTRA big Rasengan.. this would surely destroy all the masks which are his hearts. Taking all of this in the match is pretty much over but I'll go counter the rest of your argument.
While a notable feat of Kakuzu's domu, it doesn't compare to the heat that Sage Art: Goemon can possibly produce.

It can create heat up to a several thousand degrees... surely Domu won't withstand that and if it can it still won't protect his insides from getting cooked or boiled.
This jutsu as said in the databook utilizes both wind and fire natures but also water which you left out while also being strengthened by oil so I doubt Kakuzu's katon+wind jutsu let alone wind will negate this jutsu considering it has fire+wind+water+oil which are unleased in huge quantities as said in the databook.. infact it may end up strengthening it considering how wind fuels fire.. it was already countered by wind and water as shown here [You must be registered for see links] If you tried to use Kakuzu's water mask it is pointless as it is featless I believe. Kakuzu gets cooked Lol
While Hair Needle Senbon won't hurt him directly because of Domu he can use it to pull Kakuzu towards him and hit him with a double rasengan taking a heart out or two depending on where he lands it.. Remember while having Domu active he won't be capable of moving and if he releases it he will end up getting crushed like Pain's crab summon.. either way it will be a lose lose situation.. if that doesn't kill him somehow he will surely be incapacitated.If somehow manages to put up a struggle then Ma and Pa can temporarily disable him with frog song[You must be registered for see links] it was so strong it immobilized two of pain's summons.
Lol what? Doesn't matter the fact still remains the Jiraiya's speed couldn't do shit to catch him off guard...the added sight just prevented an ambush.. kakuzu also has no knowledge on this so he won't be able to anticipate it. Now to correct you on the rest of your claims, Animal path was already aware of Jiraiya being behind him thanks to the shared vision of the 6 Paths of Pain.. [You must be registered for see links][You must be registered for see links]
Kakuzu won't have that luxury so if doesn't know Jiraiya is behind him he is getting caught.. now the last part of your post is entirely false. Kakuzu already had Domo activated beforehand.. this is the scan that came before the one you provided. [You must be registered for see links] Notice his reaction in the lower left corner.. it clearly displays shock because he didn't anticipate it.. this proves your reaction argument is a fallacy.
It's not called frog song lol that's a different jutsu[You must be registered for see links]. Anyways I actually went back to reread that chapter and the next chapter and counted to where it first started to where it finished.. I counted 10-11 pages overall depending if you counted the ones where he was thinking and that is less than a chapter not only that but all the action in between those pages were happening quickly. [You must be registered for see links][You must be registered for see links]
@bold while this is a viable counter Jiraiya can simply use food cart destroyer to stop them as they are taking flight..
You must be registered for see images
This technique is listed to be all ranges.. here is quote from narutopedia "A destructive dive that takes full advantage of a giant toad's body mass. The strength of the fall varies depending on the user. For example, in the case of someone like Jiraiya — one of the Sannin, the summon can be performed in an instant right above the target, further adding the great gravitational force of a several hundred metre-high dive to the toad's own weight" while this site is not known to be always reliable there is no mistaking that this is true since it is classified as a space time ninjutsu. Kakuzu has no knowledge so he won't be expecting this jutsu and will be squashed as he will be too late to react. I'll go ahead and counter the rest of the bold anyways.. now if this scenario was to happen Jiraiya can always use a Kage Bunshin in SM as he did here [You must be registered for see links] to back him up.. not only that but he can use his toad summons to provide back up giving Pa and Ma enough time to use Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.
While this may be able to counter the toad chant Jiraiya can prevent this from happening from having Gambunta (note I already mentioned he already has summons out in the previous paragraph) use his oil to combine and strengthen his katon jutsu to create Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet which can produce flames that can consume a summon as large as manda [You must be registered for see links] since wind only strengthens fire this will be blown back to Kakuzu who will be able to survive but end up getting caught by Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.
I let him have Kakuzu since I wanted him to be at his best.. bad mistakeWho the hell allowed Zex to have Kakuzu?
OT: Kakuzu takes him high diff..
Nice arguments on both sides.

*Heh* Your not all that bad i suppose
To you as well my man, pressure doesn't really account for anything in debates XD XD But nonetheless decent opener however i'll have to pick it apart now.
Why you assume that Kakuzu's hearts will still be isolated in his back is curious...as For one thing the distance is at 30 meters, and second that speed that Jiraiya accomplished when using the rasengan, was only due to the fact that he was able to propel himself off the wall of the sewer with frog like feet which gave him, jumping/propelling abilities..You must be registered for see linksNotice how his feet change shape into that of a frogs,and he bends down in a launching position, seeing as this takes place in a large grassy field with basically no trees except on the edge of the fieldYou must be registered for see links-You must be registered for see links, which means no launching himself of tree's either, at least not if he wants it to be useful at all, and he had Imperfect SM, which i don't believe game him any speed buffs, unlike naruto's...Regardless pain was easily able to react to one of Jiraiya's movesYou must be registered for see links. Anyways onto the actual rasengan here, honestly i don't remember ever seeing anything about it doing damage on the cellular level.... Which is why i think you guys are spouting BS..>.> It didn't say anything about it on the Wiki at least...Again if the DB says something else please post it.
I mean this should be rather obvious due to the fact that Tsunade was so surprised that Naruto's Rasen Shurikan was able to damage the cellsYou must be registered for see linksI mean if it truly did damage the cells to such an extent Tsunade (knowing this was a Rasengan Variant) Wouldn't of been so surprised... I really just think this jutsu causes explosive damage and throws the opponent back...
Yes i know about this little incidentYou must be registered for see linksbut Kabuto clearly states that if it damaged his cells he could of easily repaired them.... I truly believe that it merely hit on an organ severely.... Which isn't a problem against Kakuzu...
Now then, another way to deal with this little threat is merely killing Jiraiya before he arrives at Kakuzu, as i stated earlier that speed he used is not going to be coming into play this fight...which means that if Jiraiya tried to rush Kakuzu with this attack, he merely needs to activate anyone of his jutsu, which would force Jiraiya out of CQC and halt the threat of the Rasengan, and i doubt he can simply keep it charged in his hand for long.... His Katon would sufficeYou must be registered for see links-You must be registered for see linksnow not only does this technique provide a threat against Jiraiya's life..even if it couldn't hit it would force Jiraiya into the air, as its a jutsu that travels along the ground and trips up any who get caught in the blast
You must be registered for see images
Once Jiraiya is in the air, Kakuzu's raiton heart would then be able to take advantage of jiraiya having no where to go whereas it can move freely in the air as i have stated and obliterate Jiraiya with Raiton GianYou must be registered for see linksWhich not only has tremendous speed but has amazing piercing capabilities as well and will no doubt tear through Jiraiya like nothing...
You must be registered for see images
I don't see why not, the fact is that it clearly can take more heat than a normal body...Now then lets resort to the DB once again ( i only have Kakuzu entries)
You must be registered for see images
It states that it takes that of Diamond Properties, nothing suggests that it doesn't take on the heat resistance property of diamonds as well, as a matter of fact the manga SUGGESTS that it does, with it tanking the hated feats i showed before, again take a look at this scanYou must be registered for see linksYou must be registered for see linksclearly Kakuzu survived/Tanked it, while Hidan even noted that it was an extremely hot attack, note that it is also melting pure stone, which is what most mountains are made of :|.. A melting point of a diamond is roughly that of 7,000 Degree's F.. Doubt this jutsu can surpass that.
What a pointless thing to say, the additive of water does nothing as its already shown to push through water easilyYou must be registered for see links..Not to mention Kakuzu can also combine his Wind+Fire with his Raiton as well No it hasn't been done yet in the Manga, but really? Its not that hard to point out...Discard the fact if you will, doesn't change anything.... The wind Style still disperses it, as its liquid :|
What. Hair Needle Senbon, is merely the senbon attack, the other one your refering to is Roaring lions mane i believe, which would be very silly to use here, as it would merely restrain Kakuzu...Whereas Kakuzu's hearts would still be free to massacre Jiraiya as they see fit..Quite easily as Jiraiya has to keep his focus on Kakuzu, here... as if he moves too much the hold would be loosened... Not to mention Kakuzu could basically do the same thingYou must be registered for see links-You must be registered for see linkshowever the difference is Kakuzu can still kill Jiraiya via his hearts which would still be moving, whereas Jiraiya would pretty much be stuck....
Is there any info on how this Technique paralyzes? As if it utilizes the vibrations in the sound waves to rattle the bones of the opponent similar to White Rage, as if it is Kakuzu is immune as he has no bones...Its a ninjutsu so i highly doubt it could be anything else, however regardless Kakuzu can use Domu, to pass the temp. Paralysis with little harm to him, while again...his hearts can still function as they have neither bones nor ears to hear with...
Lol what? Doesn't matter the fact still remains the Jiraiya's speed couldn't do shit to catch him off guard...the added sight just prevented an ambush.
Wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, From this scanYou must be registered for see linksWe can see that Kakuzu is moving...Now if you would go look at the DB scan i just posted Domu is supposed to completely restrict the movement of Kakuzu while he uses it on the full body... It was merely a artist mistake by Kishi keeping his skin color like that. That "shocked" icon was simply due to the fact that he was completely surprised that it was able to hurt him, as he just stated that physical attacks were useless...Why do you think Kakashi explained the whole Earth<Lighting thing...because Domu couldn't block his Raikiri... Don't try too call me out with this fight,as it won't end well for you
All this can be countered in a mere sentence ....The Food Cart cart destroyer move can not be utilized unless the opponent is under the summoner...
However again this is completely useless, basically if he uses this technique the Demonic Chant becomes useless, due to the load noise that would be made, and the loss of focus from the chant...Although not that it matters, even if Kakuzu is hit with this, his Domu can clearly tank it...And while he tanks it and Jiraiya was focusing on summoning whatever heart he didn't use to fly, obliterates Jiraiya from behind.... GG Jiraiya...However like i said, the caster has to be above the target anyways.
No.... Actually to be completely honest i don't see Jiraiya even performing a summon at all here, as it took a vast amount to get the sagesYou must be registered for see linksWhich is two summoning he has already used and are active, any more may be too much, as Naruto was only able too summon three in his perfect SM mode, however this is a pretty good counter, you do realize how large Bunta is right?You must be registered for see linksMeaning the demonic chant is not going to reach Kakuzu from up there, which Jiraiya must be in order to use this technique...And as you said he can tank it....While his hearts either fly over it, or bury under itYou must be registered for see linksNotice how its merely a heart and some threads Which is exactly what the heart creatures are made of....So theres no reason they can't dig as well.
Anyways, in the end the numbers of Kakuzu and His masks and the sheer destruction caused by his jutsu will be Jiraiya's downfall here...Most of his jutsu require complete concentration...Which is an awful idea against Kakuzu who can sneak a jutsu from behind you, killing in an instant all who are hit by it....
Not to mention as i've stated in this post he counters basically everything Jiraiya has.

This is a lot for a newbie to handle.. >.> I will try my best to counter later on.
An excellent counter, impressed me much more than your OP.
There were a couple things I could nit pick, but I'll leave that up to Eren to find out
On a judge scale, right now my meter looks like
Eren ------l--- Zexion
Eh, no worries. You can handle this, I'm sure.
My you certainty are an interactive judge aren't you lol
He never answered![]()
Read the info the distance is 20 meters which is more than enough for Jiraiya to reach Kakuzu... now I'll admit that I was wrong on this particular speed feat considering the location but these are not the only speed feats Jiraiya possesses. Here Jiraiya managed to stop animal path from using his summoning jutsu when all what was needed was a simple clap to perform it. [Why you assume that Kakuzu's hearts will still be isolated in his back is curious...as For one thing the distance is at 30 meters, and second that speed that Jiraiya accomplished when using the rasengan, was only due to the fact that he was able to propel himself off the wall of the sewer with frog like feet which gave him, jumping/propelling abilities..You must be registered for see linksNotice how his feet change shape into that of a frogs,and he bends down in a launching position, seeing as this takes place in a large grassy field with basically no trees except on the edge of the fieldYou must be registered for see links-You must be registered for see links, which means no launching himself of tree's either, at least not if he wants it to be useful at all, and he had Imperfect SM, which i don't believe game him any speed buffs, unlike naruto's...Regardless pain was easily able to react to one of Jiraiya's movesYou must be registered for see links.
No where did I state that it did damage on a cellular level.. I said it would damage internally or damage internal organs So with that being said I don't really have to counter nothing here. But I will say that Kabuto can heal himself Kakuzu can't so i wonder why you bothered bringing that up and yes Kakuzu does have Organs other wise how would he live? You forgetting his hearts? So yes it will be a problem for him. The masks are located on his back [Anyways onto the actual rasengan here, honestly i don't remember ever seeing anything about it doing damage on the cellular level....

@bold This was already countered in the first part of the post so this scenario wouldn't happen until you counter the first part of my post so this scenario isn't going to happen therefore I won't bother countering for now. I will say this though.. Rasengan isn't chidori once it is formed it is self sustaining meaning it can go on unless the user decides to deactivate it or if the user gets disrupted from using it. Jiraiya's ultra rasengan will counter Kakuzu's katon considering that Naruto was able to do this with his normal rasengan. [Now then, another way to deal with this little threat is merely killing Jiraiya before he arrives at Kakuzu, as i stated earlier that speed he used is not going to be coming into play this fight...which means that if Jiraiya tried to rush Kakuzu with this attack, he merely needs to activate anyone of his jutsu, which would force Jiraiya out of CQC and halt the threat of the Rasengan, and i doubt he can simply keep it charged in his hand for long....

This go along the post before.. I countered your post from the beginning that would eventually lead to this so I dont believe a counter is needed here but I'll counter anyways.. Fukasaku (Pa) can simply use Sage Art: Wind Release Stream.. taking into consideration that this raition jutsu has a spearlike form and that wind is superior to lightning it would be countered by it. Well I'm guessing you'd ask "how would he anticipate it?" Well Pa himself is a sage as well so he would sense the attack coming.Once Jiraiya is in the air, Kakuzu's raiton heart would then be able to take advantage of jiraiya having no where to go whereas it can move freely in the air as i have stated and obliterate Jiraiya with Raiton GianYou must be registered for see linksWhich not only has tremendous speed but has amazing piercing capabilities as well and will no doubt tear through Jiraiya like nothing...

Well I have nothing to correct you on as you are correct here but you did forget to mention a part of the post where I said he can still heat up internally? While he is mostly threads on the inside he still has the human hearts inside of him.. it just like an egg shell when you're cooking it. While it can withstand heat on the outside (externally) internally his inside can get cooked from the heat.I don't see why not, the fact is that it clearly can take more heat than a normal body...Now then lets resort to the DB once again ( i only have Kakuzu entries)

Sorry confused the two techniques but either way my point still stands. This all assuming that he has his hearts out already and I covered the speed thing in the first part of the post.. even if the hearts were out this wouldn't matter because Jiraiya can also defend himself by covering up with this technique which is strong as steel wires and steel's burning point is 2500°F meaning he can withstand the heat and also tank futon.. for raition pa can use windstream to counter as I have said previously but this assuming that Jiraiya doesn't crush or pierce him with it in which Kakuzu would have to use Domu to counter and with this Jiraiya can use ultra rasengan to finish him off. Btw I'm sure Jiraiya's chakra infused hair is stronger than Kakuzu's thread unless you can tell how strong the threads are.What. Hair Needle Senbon, is merely the senbon attack, the other one your refering to is Roaring lions mane i believe, which would be very silly to use here, as it would merely restrain Kakuzu...Whereas Kakuzu's hearts would still be free to massacre Jiraiya as they see fit..Quite easily as Jiraiya has to keep his focus on Kakuzu, here... as if he moves too much the hold would be loosened...

No it is not the same as white rage that sense. In narutopedia it was just stated to release large, loud and immensely powerful sound waves that effectively annoy, distract and temporarily paralyze any afflicted targets completely. I doubt Kakuzu would use Domu before that happened considering it would happen at random and even if he did he would get by ultra rasengan considering it forms almost instantly and with his speed feats I stated above being able to reach him before the hearts get him.Is there any info on how this Technique paralyzes? As if it utilizes the vibrations in the sound waves to rattle the bones of the opponent similar to White Rage, as if it is Kakuzu is immune as he has no bones...Its a ninjutsu so i highly doubt it could be anything else, however regardless Kakuzu can use Domu, to pass the temp. Paralysis with little harm to him, while again...his hearts can still function as they have neither bones nor ears to hear with...
Actually it did his speed got him behind that path in his blind spot meaning without any help he would've been done for.. it was only thanks to linked sight that he was able to react. Remember this scan [Lol what? Doesn't matter the fact still remains the Jiraiya's speed couldn't do shit to catch him off guard...the added sight just prevented an ambush.
What movement are you talking about? I don't see any movement.. if so I must be blind so can you circle it or crop it to where it shows that?Wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, From this scanYou must be registered for see linksWe can see that Kakuzu is moving...Now if you would go look at the DB scan i just posted Domu is supposed to completely restrict the movement of Kakuzu while he uses it on the full body...

Don't try too call me out with this fight,as it won't end well for you
Well if that is the case Jiraiya can always use a shadow clone to throw above kakuzu to use Food Cart Destroyer and while Jiraiya may not have much strength feats he did send a summon flying [All this can be countered in a mere sentence ....The Food Cart cart destroyer move can not be utilized unless the opponent is under the summoner...
However again this is completely useless, basically if he uses this technique the Demonic Chant becomes useless, due to the load noise that would be made, and the loss of focus from the chant...Although not that it matters, even if Kakuzu is hit with this, his Domu can clearly tank it...And while he tanks it and Jiraiya was focusing on summoning whatever heart he didn't use to fly, obliterates Jiraiya from behind.... GG Jiraiya...However like i said, the caster has to be above the target anyways.
Yeah that only applied to the sages themselves not any other summons and even if what you say is true Shima can do the summoning for Jiraiya [No....

No really I don't.. he is in the same spot in the scan you provided and the other one I provided. If you are referring to this movement where he appears like he's slouching then standing upright it still doesn't matter because he didn't anticipate Kakashi.ugh how can you not see the movement, *sigh* I hate circling things....
Clearly you haven't bothered too learn much about Kakuzu though...as you states some things that blatantly don't apply for Kakuzu....
No really I don't.. he is in the same spot in the scan you provided and the other one I provided. If you are referring to this movement where he appears like he's slouching then standing upright it still doesn't matter because he didn't anticipate Kakashi.
Nope I don't as I said I don't debate much and i don't study characters like kakuzu but if you are referring to having threads in his body and lack of organs then I already went over that with you.
@Zexion. Just counter his damn post, Butthead. :|
