first off its not sword and shield its spear and shield, and yes he is the most durable but the hachibi never used a tbb on him which would have killed him and anybody else if hit with it...
we dnt knw if the 3rd raikage is the most physically strong shinobi in history because tsunade punches shit and makes it look easy but we can see he is right there in the conversation now the question is can he break perfect susano??? maybe, maybe not tsunade was able to crack it with her monstrous strength can he crack it, we dnt knw but i would say he could crack it as much as she did but the next question is can he take a blow from ps sword which can cut through mountains??? i doubt the raikage body is tougher than 4 mountains, so no and current Madara has the rinnegan and sasge mode and mokuton, my point is the raikage's power stem from the lightning armor, mokuton or preta path absorbs that, not to mention madara can summon the gedo and a wood dragon along with a wood forest/w flower pollen all those things lead to the easy defeat of the legendary 3rd Raikage all this excluding genjutsu and the meteors which would be overkill to the already roadkill
Hashirama really can play with the raikage he can do too much with his mokuton constructs, he can make wood dragons several of them, he can make wood golem, he can absorb the raikage chakra, he can make wood forest with flower pollen, he can make the wood hands, and wood clones, and bringer of darkness, idk what u were thinking but the raikage is a cool looking dude but he cant beat madara or hashirama
he can beat any of the kage he was summoned with
Muu stays out of range with flight and turns invisible and dust release gg
2nd Mizukage whenever the riakage actually does hit him the miz can just manipulate the matter of that specific body part and turn it into oil not water, raikage cant see through the mirage nor can he beat the exploding clone
4th Kazekage has gold sand which is heavier and denser than normal sand because gold is a metal element, the gold sand would subdue the kazekage and it would be too heavy for him to break free
the 3rd raikage can be beateb by a lot of shinobi
madara
hashirama
obito ms or rinnegan because the raikage cant hit either version
killer bee-jinchuriki are stronger than the bijuu by themselves and the raikage only tied with the hachibi
nagato-he will turn the battle into a circus, there is absolutely nothing the raikage can do against him, he cant kill the dog it will keep multiplying ever time he hits it with his spear, he cant touch minato who will absorb all his chakra, who can st him, who can hide in the invisible chameleon lizard and grab him and rip out his soul, who can summon the gedo
bsm naruto-too much power
ems sasuke(Ps)-amaterasu variants
minato(bm or normal)-bm form is overkill, and base form he still has ftg and the 4th Raikage said minato was the best he had ever seen, which includes his dad the 3rd raikage which is manga fact so if A believes minato is better than his dad how can u refute that, he knws his dad more than anyone
tobirama-ftg
kisame-will do the exact same thing he did to killer bee
itachi-totsuka, amaterasu, tsukoyami, superior intelligence, yata mirror, skill
guy-too fast in gates for the raikage, too strong in gates for the raikage, hirudora is a 1 hit ko for most shinobi and is one of the most powerful attacks
kakashi-kamui, speed on par with the raikage's, superior intelligence
muu-already explained
2nd mizukage-already explained
4th kazekage-all ready explained
deidara(C0) only
kakuzu is debatable-he can split up the hearts and overwhelm the riakage and it hitting kakuzu wont do anything he is basically immortal unless u hit his heart and all 5 hearts to completely beat him
sage mode jiraya-cant be hit by the riakage and has the toad sage's to use sound genjutsu which subdues anybody
orochimaru-he can absorb chakra via touch so the riakage is surely fast enough to hit oro but that would reduce his power because oro will suck the chakra away and oro can take any blow without being hurt, he was split in half and pulled himself back together while laughing he is the most durable, and the raikage has no way of beating the giant white snake which is basically immortal unless u have totsuka nor can he beat the giant hydra which is immortal unless u have totsuka
spiral zetsu-buddha and chakra absorbtion and mini mokuton constructs
