I heard that he destroyed a meteor in the last movie. How can can you possibly be a fodder with a feat like that?

Fodkashi goes down at least 20 slots without sharingan
The only upside is he's pretty smart

He didn't destroy the meteorite, Sasuke destroyed it before it fell on Kakashi.
Kakashi is obviously weaker than when he had his DMS and MS however he is still a great thinker and leader hence the Hokage title

he's not fodder. Kakashi also gained benefits from losing the sharingan.

I think he's unfairly underrated. He's still got an entire repertoire of skills, his intelligence is up there with the best, and his experience helps too.

he and gai always compete
and kakashi always wins

and in the novel, kakashi beat lee 1v1 in taijutsu, lol

He was jonin before having Sharingan and he finished academy with age of 6 so far best time even surapass Itachi´s

I think he's underrated (badly) as well.

Still, he's pretty damn f***ing lazy, especially during peace time - perhaps too comfortable in his percieved superiority? His rising the ranks at such a young age didn't really do him any favours in the longrun. He (for years) didn't possess much motivation beyond just enduring life day by day...

After the (3rd) war and all the losses he sustained (Sakumo, Obito, Rin, Minato, Kushina), the trauma he suffered etc he was well... not quite motivated enough to progress in the same way Sasuke and Naruto did. He barely held onto his sanity and Guy was his social life outside ANBU.

His development became stagnant, PTSD linked to the Chidori didn't do any favours either - and then there's that damn Sharingan, sure sure it helped with his Chidori but the drawbacks were immense - the chakra is constantly sucked out of him, then when activated was ridiculous.

I don't think he was "fodder" as Hokage. Was he on the same level as Naruto and Sasuke? No. No one is, not unless you count their previous incarnations.

Is he Kage-level - yes.
Can he hold his own against the other Kage? - yes.

His feats are plenty impressive in their own right, he did pretty well I feel - but I also feel like he was purposefully side-lined by Naruto or Sasuke by Kishi in ways that (to me) weren't realistic/constistent with canon that had gone before it.

When they were younger - yeah.

But at the point of the 4th Shinobi War, I think Guy would have destroyed anyone (still living) in taijutsu. His fight against Madara proves (surely?) that his taijutsu is superior to Kakashi's.

Might Guy owns taijutsu.

Non sharingan Kakashi is underrated here. I saw someone say he is chunin level. Kakashi is still a genius and has many skills. Far from fodder. He just isn't in the top tiers anymore.

he's only unmatched in taijutsu if he awakens the last gates, lol
i think kakashi could still beat him if Gai he uses the first few gates

the only reason kakashi knows how to open gates is because he saw gai use them and copied him

Let's be real.

There's not many people alive in The Last or chapter 700 that can give Kakashi a hard time.


I could see if he lost his sharingan during the Pain Arc. But there's basically no-one.

That was in a time of war, where the promotion of shinobi was rushed due to demands for troops.

Kakashi and Obito could barely defeat a single Join together.

Kakashi had to babysit Obito and rin. It's the only reason he got injured.
