Is Konan more hax than we previously thought?

[6thHokage]

Show me a scan of Sakura nearly soloing Obito.

Konan had prep. She isn't so strong without prep.

I dont know shit about Kakuzu it's a shame.

It's all good fam. Most people don't. Hence why Kakuzu is assumed to be "Mid Tier" in OP's poll.

 

[Ripple Hole]

GG Konan reveals forest area is all a part of her plan and breaks doton with millions of exploding paper
as the fire fails to burn at the rate the explosions set off. She then flies into the sky out of that fodder's
range whilst setting it off all day long.

Wat defense?

The defenses of Mercenary_Kakuzu

1. slithering underground
2. earth petrification armor
3. long range mode

How do you know that?

 

[Nick01]

Nice thread, I agree she had a lot of potential.

GG Konan reveals the underground was all a part of her plan and displays
miles long of exploding paper earth that Kakuzu used as armor.

What's this talk about Kakuzu? Domu is pretty much all one needs to know.

One of my fav characters for sure. Kishimoto couldn't handle her properly.

I agree she didn't get a proper fight barring the Obito one where she had prep. Her fight with the Aburame clan was skipped out and her fight with Jiraiya was a joke considering Konan has guided and explosive projectiles but she only used straight forward ones with no explosion.

Sakura is overrated. She is only strong with prep.

Fixed.=D

Deidara above Kakuzu, and Sasori? No.

OT: She'd lose to Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame etc. She'd be below them slightly.

I think she can beat Sasori. Poison isn't working without a bloodstream/internal organs. Getting cut up or pierced is useless. Konan fazes through everything and blows him up. Kakuzu definitely wins. Deidara and Kisame should win as well.

Since you asked, I think its better if you should add gifs. Lol Tumblr should have a good load of them.

Anyways, Konan is sadly far too underrated. Including me despite her being one of my favorite female characters. I didn't think about her feats hard enough in one of her matchups, which was Haku. Of course, now I have a better understanding of her abilities and so forth.

I might add them some other day.

Update:

Guided attacks
Konan can change the trajectory of her attacks as shown when she freely manipulated paper tag bombs while Obito was in a state for free fall. Not to mention her butterflies and paper airplane have shown to curve around.

What is this based on? Did you just scale down the ''600 billion for 4 days'' fact?

Well yes but the point isn't the numbers argument. It's the fact that Konan could cultivate a large number of paper bombs even in battle. A small amount were said to be strong enough to kill Konan and Obito who are harder to kill than your average shinobi. A few minutes of prep on top of that would allow them to kill even more durable opponents such as Kimimaro, Ay, Kakuzu, etc. So my point is that Konan isn't lacking firepower even without prep, it just won't be OP.

Mere paper bombs wouldn't break through Doton: Domu. Quantity < Quality, just because Konan with 4 or so days of prep can produce billions of Paper bombs doesn't add on to the Quality of the initial paper bomb. A paper bomb is a paper bomb, and Kakuzu easily tanked such. Billions more would have the same effect. Nothing changes.

 

[Zawerni]

People think Kakuzu, who took on "God of Shinobi" Hashirama 1v1 and came out alive, would lose to Konan's origami? :lol

 

[Aznkidd]

Since Sakura cant breath well, Konan might put an end to that misery...

 

[Angelic.]

i like how she turns into paper however she does that o.o

 

[Fartman]

She is overrated. She is only strong with prep.

She is strong

Wow. Seriously?

Paper does come from trees...

Ot: who's to say she didn't prep those bombs outside the 4 day period? Its not like she stated she started collecting paper bombs immediately after pain died.

 

[Avonomemi]

Well done.

Konan x itachi= ****ing power couple
