To be fair, Nagato and Ay both would have lost eventually. Ay needed a decent amount of prep time and prior knowledge of the technique and warning sighs, and Nagato only survived because he was an Edo. Nagato's arms and legs were still severed before he could dispel it.

If you aren't someone with a powerful absorption technique, or top 3 speed in the world, you're not surviving Amaterasu.
Ay dodged it point blank. Thats not prep time. Thats godly speed. There's no way you can refute that.

Amaterasu is a dangerous tech if it isnt getting sealed, dodged, repelled or b!tch slapped

People on NB downplay just about everything. Naruto blocked Amaterasu using bijjuu chakra, Kurama gave him. That's nice but it still one shots anyone not using a cloak or avoiding the technique with insane speed. Alot of ninja aren't capable of this but Amaterasu is a great technique for distraction, can be a powerful defense against powerful enemies.


Who has Amaterasu failed against.

1. Kaguya (strongest of all)
2. Madara
3. Naruto
4. Nagato
5. Juubi
6. Hebi Sasuke
7. Raikage

All of whom are more than capable of fending off the attack. Most of them who are a respectively top 10 and have sage or really good abilities that make them a god against normal ninja.

There are ninjas who can't do anything against Amaterasu such as

1. Minato,
2. Jiraya
3. Sm Naruto
4. Most kages
5. Tailed beasts no juubi/
6. Most Summons.

Now is this list pretty bad for a 1 shot MS technique? I don't think it's so bad it's gets the downgrade treatment on NB.
Minato can't dodge Amaterasu? Well ok then :)

Definitely, & if it's not used for killing or diversions it's also good at getting info on a character's abilities.
Especially regenerative or s/t abilities.
dumbtee, if you really want to make amaterasu look good you should have started by saying that it can kill fodder #1933

but wait if fodder #1933 has samurai armor then he will survive

sorry dumbtee, no redemption for lolaterasu
No deadfool, you didn't kill the thread and lolaterasu prob kills ur fav char. Dont feel to sad now mmk?

FTG users crap on Amaterasu. The black flames were clearly touching Minato, you can see it with your own eyes people, like seriously :rolleyes:

It amazes me how people can say Ay can counter Amaterasu but not MInato, or Tobirama for that matter. What's worse is that minato showed that he can still escape the jutsu even after being it, since Minato has repeatedly shown that he can choose what to teleport with and leave minato.

Gotta love Dante and these uchiha fans and their hatred for Minato XD First on the list (despite already dodging it) ... why not tobirama?

As far as youre concerned. Another one. Opinions dont mean its the end all be all. He still got hit by ama and it didnt damage him. Or obito.
It damaged Obito, minato wasnt hit by ama. When someone is his by it he or his parts are ablaze, minato wasnt.

So logically he was only hit by rasengan part.

As far im concerned he's got so brave cuz he's edo tensei, which he properly stated in pages before.
Whatever dude. Fact remain Amaterasu is a fodder technique in part2 that every high level opponent can dodge, absorb, swap, switch or counter. Infact the moment you can use the sustitution jutsu, amaterasu isn't a threat anymore, so you could already question yourself if it would work on Konohamaru

Minato is too fast for Amaterasu, and even if he wasn't, he could seal it. Jiraiya could seal it as well. Sage Mode Naruto could sense it and dodge it (as could Minato and Jiraiya).

Amaterasu is shit tier when it comes to opponents of their calibre.

Don't even hate Minato. I don't hate any character actually. Tobirama has experience against Uchihas so I left him out. Minato was never hit by ama. The technique was still held by Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke can completely control the flames, he held an enton blade as well and was unmarked.

Yeah no try again. Amaterasu appears instantly, Naruto would be BBQ'd in sage mode. It doesn't matter if he can sense it if he can't dodge it.

Then I guess everyone with Substitution jutsu can survive Minato's kunai strikes and rasengan hits. Good to know. I'll quote you next time.

Everyone knows Substitution and FTG are completely haxed jutsus that fans overrate because Kishi is inconsistent, when it is blatantly obvious he didn't intend for them to be used in such a way.

I agree and the force/power of Amaterasu depends on the amount of chakra build up beforehand and if the focus on the target is kept or not.

Just to clear confusion:

Huge chakra build up + Constant focus on target - Amaterasu burns target to ashes unless target keep moving avoidng focus or has chakra cloak to fight it back pushing it

Just Huge chakra build up - Amaterasu burns target with high burning rate until something fight it back then Amaterasu becomes weaker and weaker doing little to none damages.

Average chakra build up + constant focus - Amaterasu burns target at medium speed but the power is still the same or it may even increase

Average chakra build up - Amaterasu only works on random untalented shinobi.

amaterasu hardly oneshots any of those people.

Minato has better reactions than Ei and is incomparably faster, if Ei can dodge it, so does minato. Plus, we've seen that enton rasenshuriken touched minato, yet minato teleported away and was unscathed by the flames.

SM Naruto senses the buildup and puts up a clone wall to protect himself. He has many ways to block LoS from clone walls, giant rasengan, ma and pa using dust cloud and smoke bombs. Jiraiya pretty much does the same too.

Gaara is pretty much immune to amaterasu since his body is always covered by sand armor. Mei can just block LoS with hidden mist. Tsunade can summon katsuya, oonoki can just fly out of range or block LoS with his rock bushins or golem.

Tailed beasts are probably all fodder to amaterasu as well as boss summons unless they have special abilities like katsuyu, although against beings like kurama the amaterasu user will probably die before the beast succomes to the flames.

Most kage levels have ways to prevent amaterasu gg.

This is but lie. Its true that ama has failed many time against many opponents the very same opponent was hardly aimed with ama again.

If you fail to land rasengan or chidori on a opponent doesnt mean it wont kill him but that you have to aim it again to land it properly.

Same shit with ama, its a fire and when fire is not enough to burn something you create more fire, this is how it goes.

Difference being Amaterasu actually get shitted on everytime it's used in the manga. The portrayal of this fodder technique is rather clear. It will never work on high level opponents

Yes. Compared to the top 7-8 people in the entirety of the manga. Nobody is debating that fact. But so is 99% of the arsenal of every other shinobi in the world.

Should we talk about the characters rasengan doesn't work on?

Lol Tell me how a seal can be performed if ama is aimed at their hands so every time the scroll gets grabbed it also gets burnt to a crisp?

Honestly this has to be the worst counter to ama I've ever seen.

Considering it created a huge hole on the back of a freaking Jubi jin, i've nothing to worry about concerning the fire power of the technique

amaterasu is fodder tech against high level opponents

but good against weak opponents

why would sasky be fighting weak opponents anyway? and wouldn't that humiliate sasky since Sasky had to activate his EMS and use a high profile tech against a fodder ?
