Ive been thinking about this and all of them were in need of help bar hashirama some people may get salty but hear me out ashura himself needed rsm his father and all the disciples of ninshu just to match an ms indra ? While hashi on the other hand had always been better than madara and even with ems and the kyuubi hashi matched him amd DECISIVELY defeated him with his own strength moving on to naruto he was always inferior to sasuke and even admitted to himself and his peers that without the kyubbi (an outside source) naruto could not stand up to sasukes power with ms in the end 9bijuu plus the eyes equaled 9 bijuus plus the body (vote2) but even here naruto didnt decisively claim victory they were both in the same condition missing an arm thats not a victory its a stalemate so this all brings me to ask what the hell was so special about hashirama?? He was the only ashura reincarnate who didn't use other sources of power even ashura himself didn't do this
Ashura vs Indra stalemate
Sasuke vs naruto stalemate
Madara vs hashi hashi solos?
I dont get it what am i missing here
eh.. youre not far from the truth really.
So the whole ordeal is basically Mind V Body right?
intangible v physical.
So the reason why we perceive Ashura was inferior to Indra was that because he needed help, which he did at first.
That's because the body (symbolically speaking) needs to grow and mature. So Indra is superior to Ashura.
Indra reached his peak way waaay earlier than Ashura hence he is the talented son.
but in the end, when both finally reached their peak, it was a stalemate.
There are times where they would transmigrate as well and the winner is inconclusive as we dont have any background info about them.
only 2 other significant generations.
Hashirama v Madara.
Sasuke v Naruto.
Hashirama's generation we can simply conclude that he won. but not by a lot.
So we can safely say that there are some cases that Indra's transmigrant also win in some generations and other Ashura would win.
The reason why Naruto and Sasuke is pegged as a "draw" is because that was the final one.
the one which Indra and Ashura started and needed to end. basically a parallel in which needed an alternate ending.
Although I would say Sasuke was suppose to win that one. Naruto certainly had a HUGE disadvantage but managed to pull though with Kurama. If he hadn't, he surely wouldve lost as Sasuke has no handicap.
Naruto is extremely talented and could by far wouldve surpassed Hashirama but instead hindered by Kurama and so any help that he received was rejected by Kurama.
EX: Ma and Pa's senjutu boost. Therefore any help received by Naruto is stricly denied by Kurama.
Thats why Sasuke couldve easily won.
If kurama was out of the picture, Naruto wouldve utilized his latent powers such as chakra chains and such.
So without that huge handicap, Naruto wouldve won. With Kurama still opposing, Naruto wouldve failed.
Kurama cooperating, stalemate.
Thats the reason why its
Indra = Ashura
Hashirama > Madara
Naruto = Sasuke
