So! Let's move on with this shiz. I'll review A-Rank toads, and S-Rank elemental ones, before we get to the big guns!Gamariki sounds like a fun summon. First and foremost, RP wise it would be hilarious to summon him, due to his personality and cross dressing habits lol. But when you look at his abilities and skills for battle, there's a lot to be admired, if you are a lightning specialist. I say this because of two reasons: first, Gamariki can use up to A-Rank water, which works well in combination with lightning Jutsu, when one uses the water out as a medium. Next, being able to use genjutsu up to B-Rank works well with this because of (Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar.
Gamatatsu is essentially useless. Has the same abilities as Gamariki without access to Genjutsu. Knowing this and the fact that you would be spending the same amount of chakra regardless, I don't see a reason that you would need to summon him.
Gamachu is my dream summon lol. Well not really, but he's definitely going to help my game. He can use Ken, Samarui, and Strong Fist Jutsu.. Up to S-Rank. As a Mid-Long range fighter, I really had trouble with the short range game, until now. This gives me access to two styles of Jutsu that I normally wouldn't be able to utilize. Plus, a short range fighter with oil techniques sounds like it could have its own interesting combos.
Gamaken and Gamahiro sound really cool. CQC isn't my greatest area, so having two building size Toad summons that specialize in it will really help my game. Food Cart Destroyer is an awesome move, it's an aerial attack plus a summoning technique, so thats a big boost to Gamahiro's usefulness lol.So! Let's move on with this shiz. I'll review A-Rank toads, and S-Rank elemental ones, before we get to the big guns!
Gamaken: Gamaken is a gigantic toad of similar size to Gamabunta and Gamahiro, he has a shy and modest personality. Wielding a sasumata and a shield He is mainly a close combat toad, capable of using the strong fist variation of Taijutsu and if supplied with a sword (summoned with one), he can use Kenjutsu techniques. He is immune to B-Rank ninjutsu and can use Oil techniques like any other toad.(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Gamaken) Summoning Technique: Gamaken
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description:
Gamaken is a gigantic toad warrior, similar in size to Gamabunta and Gamahiro. He acts as one of the usual companions of Jiraya and is considered one of the top warriors amongst the toads of Myobokuzan. Possessing a shy and modest personality, he defines himself as slow and ungraceful. However, that contrasts severely with his battle abilities and physical prowess. Wielding a sasumata and a shield (resembling a sakasuki), he is a very capable and dangerous close combat warrior. His size is accompanied by a proportionate physical strength and an unusual agility and speed, being immune to any ninjutsu B-Rank and below. He is capable of using Taijutsu moves (mainly variations of Strong Fist) but, if given a proportional sword, also Kenjutsu. Like most toads, he can use Oil techniques.

(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Gamahiro) Summoning Technique: Gamahiro
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description:
Gamahiro is a gigantic toad warrior, rivaling the size of Gamaken and Gamabunta. Although little is known of his personality, as he isn't too keen to speaking, he embodies the true essence of a warrior. Sometimes summoned above an enemy to crush it to death, his main abilities are his prowess in close combat and his mastery in wielding his twin katanas (strapped on his back). A master of Taijutsu (mainly variations of Strong Fist) and Kenjutsu (mainly dual wielding Kenjutsu), he is a very dangerous close combat warrior. With strength and agility that rivals Gamaken's, he's generally dispicted as one of the top warriors amongst the toads of Myobokuzan, a fitting condition that is further proven by his immunity to all B-Rank and below ninjutsu. Like most toads, he can use Oil techniques. A trait unique to him is that from the large toads, Gamahiro is the only one so far seen summoned using the (Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu) Summoning Technique: Food Cart Destroyer to crush an enemy.

Gamahiro: Like Gamaken, he is a strong fist Taijutsu and Kenjutsu user, wielding twin Katanas. He rivals Gamaken and Gamabunta in size and can use Oil techniques. His abilities are exactly like Gamaken's, but he tends to lean more to the Kenjutsu usage rather than Taijutsu unlike Gamaken. One thing that makes him different is that he can be summoned through the (Food Cart Destroyer) technique to crush his enemy.
Great Fire/Lightning/Wind/Water/Earth toads: Each of these toads have the capability to use up to A-Rank of the elemental nature that they specialize in, Fire Toad can use A-Rank fire, Lightning toad can use A-Rank lightning etc. While their size isn't mentioned, i'd say their size is comparable to that of Gamaken and Gamahiro or a little smaller. Courtesy of one of greatest toad and SM users of NB, the Pervy Sage. All of these toads are unaffected to B-Rank techniques. If the techniques they use requires handseals, they can perform them just as any typical shinobi is capable of performing handseals.
Well, the elemental toads are indeed generic, i'd suggest they are best used for combination attacks, or collaboration ones, but they aren't as powerful as most toads like we are going to see now.Gamaken and Gamahiro sound really cool. CQC isn't my greatest area, so having two building size Toad summons that specialize in it will really help my game. Food Cart Destroyer is an awesome move, it's an aerial attack plus a summoning technique, so thats a big boost to Gamahiro's usefulness lol.
The Great Elemental Toads seem a bit.. Generic to be honest. Basically they are Toads that have specialized in an element, and for every element there is a toad. Being able to use handseals is nice, as most summons can't do that. I see them being useful against certain opponents, such as the Lightning Toad for a Steel User. Or to add to that, to counter your own weaknesses, such as the Wind Toad for the Steel user. Other than that, the limiting nature's of the toads would be a little too trivial for normal battle, in my opinion, it's better to stick to using them when they will be beneficial for the entirety of the battle instead of a move or two.
So, right now, should we continue with the toad related ninjutsu?This the cache of summons that I've been waiting for lol. Gamabunta is the boss, but the others kind of have him outclassed. Freeform tanto sets him apart from the others, and I've been looking into it a little bit, so I may be able to play around with something there. Gamakichi is pretty great to be honest. S-Ranks in two elements, strong fist, and Senjutsu advantages. Ma and Pa are equally as powerful individually, but theyre more frail. I'm looking forward to being able to use the S-Rank Frog Song with them, to be honest, it was probably my favorite technique from the manga
