If you are only in an explosion for a fraction of the time the explosion is occurring, the damage you take is decreased.
And that is why Manda was summoned on its back, with burn wounds all over its body? Manda must've taken full shockwave and the heat wave that occurs after it.
1. Let's not talk about craters when C0's crater was pathetic for an explosion it's size.
It doesn't matter if the crater was this or that. All that matters is the crater depth was consistant throughout the whole C0 AoE. Not to mention that Sasuke couldnt've ran far away from Deidara. He was way closer to the center of the explosion than to the outer ring. Still Manda didn't even have ANY external wounds.
The rest isn't worth addressing since it shows how little you know when it comes to physics. What you are saying isn't even relevant. It dealing equal damage in every point doesn't change the fact that it'd be stronger if it were concentrated, nor does it change the fact that concentrated attacks don't need to be anywhere near as powerful to get past defenses in comparison to attacks that aren't concentrated.
Lol, so C0 isn't concentrated? Your logic is flawed because you consider Kirin a concentrated attack and C0 a AoE attack, when it's like both are AoE, except Kirin's AoE is smaller and overall it's much weaker.
Obviously if someone was hit by C0 in its very center the outcome would be much more devastating, but it doesn't change the fact that C0 vaporized EVERYTHING in its radius, while Manda survived it with no external wounds whatsoever. And Kirin didn't vaporize shit - only crushed some walls of Uchiha Hideout.
:lol Your posts are making my eyes bleed. What lethal wound are you talking about? Oh wait, getting it's heads severed by a sword. :lol Why in the hell would that be lethal when OROCHIMARU IS THE CENTER of the transformation? He was unharmed, thus the hydra was able to survive.
The rest is irrelevant nonsense without any proof behind it. Vaporizing Orochimaru along with the majority of his hydra=GG.
Vaporizing Orochimaru? This is bullshit, especially when you can't compare the effect on inanimate objects to effects jutsu have on humans. Example? Base Gai with one punch breaks through walls, but 7Gate Gai can't even punch a hole in Kisame's body. Tsunade's punches destroy walls and break the ground, yet Orochimaru tanks them with no wounds whatsoever.
Not to mention that Oro's 8branches would get much stronger than what we've seen during his fight with Itachi, considering that minutes after possessing Hashi DNA body, he managed to use his cells to make his Shadow Snakes several times bigger.
Also, there's no way Sasuke could fight more than one Hydra simultaneously, and we both know that Parasite/Shadow clones could easily transform themselves too.
What is more, you make it sound as if Sasuke will be using Kirin so easily here. Which is funny, because Orochimaru isn't going to be watching Sasuke use it. 8branches, on the contrary to popular belief, isn't immobile. I wonder if Sasuke would use Kirin if Orochimaru was constantly pressuring him in close range.
Sasuke has no counter to Spores immobilization + Kusanagi snipe, too.
