Did minato ever hit his prime

Prime occurs where loads of experience meet with physical peak.

"Minato's prime -> Never reached"

some people don't read the manga do they? ....

What if he hadn't died but allowed Kushina to die and as a result went through a depression like Kakashi's dad immediately afterwards? Then his prime would have been the point at which he was most powerful, which would have been during the Obito fight, but not afterwards. The prime should be the highest or greatest point a character has already have reached, not what could have been. What could have been is a reference to potential not prime. The OT should rephrase the question to something along the lines of: "Did Minato reach his full potential?" or "Could Minato have become stronger?". Just technical things.

it's a shame, Minato's style/jutsu's had so much potential and i strongly believe that he could have been deadlier than all of the Hokage's if he was given more time (would have been the strongest).

but, now we are left with the Hokage Minato, the one who faced Obito and the Kyuubi, that is his legit prime/the one showed in the Manga.

Well I really meant both. As people say prime minato does not exist but wasn't he at his death at his max. So I thought its probably potential , but wanted to hear what other thought about the context of prime for minato.

Well if he would have died of old age, then I think his prime would have been pretty amazing. He could of really revolutionized the ninja world by introducing time efficient jutsu that require no hand seals allowing people to quickly take out their enemies before they could even react.
