I mean he was still badass in the war , and he made a lot of things that helped the allaince .

But I hear that he gets a lot of hate in the war arc only saying that he was much more badass while alive.

Any specific reasons?

Because he stood on the sidelines most of the time and never took the role as leader in the fights. He was soft and got his ass kicked a lot too.

Because Minato wasn't acting like this ultimate speedster and tactician, he was hyped up to be.

A dumb asspull, where apparently he had Sage Mode the entire time, and Kishi tries to use an excuse saying he wasn't good at it even he was able to balance the natural energy perfectly like Naruto.

Because Kishi used aspull no jutsu to make him a mediocre copy paste version of Naruto.


Dude literally has no original feats apart for Rasengan yet he was hyped like he was the savior of the shinobi world smfh

Because Kishimoto did to him what he never had the balls to do with Itachi.

He took what people assumed as an invincible character and made him a bit more flawed. His more extreme fans, of course, got butthurt over it.

Itachi was a one in a kind genius with one of the most powerful Kekki Genkai, and he did have flaws with his personality. But you're salty because Kishi didn't require asspulls to make him invincible.

:lol

And that's what makes him bland. There is no fun in a perfect character.

Minato's flaws and how he reacts to them, on the other hand, make him the more interesting of the two. Which is a shame, because Itachi, before Kishi f*cked up on redeeming his character on the war, had tremendous potential.

This here, plus the asspulls. He ended up no more useful than lee there... until naruto needed another kyuubi of course :pkun:

Last time I checked it took juubi jin characters to pick him apart .. a regular shinobi with no power ups taken down by juubi jins.

I'm fine with that.

OT: Haters gonna hate I was fine with the facts. Tobirama definitely shamed him more in my opinion trying to take on Madara alone smh

I don't have a problem with it either. If anything, the war arc made him a better character than what he previously was.

Bruh, Kishi gave Itachi a desease so he didnt have to end Naruto in early-Shippuden

Kishi ****ed him over, anyone who denies this is a fanboy. Basically turned him into a inferior Naruto with FTG(lost his badess cool factor). Gave him an inferior KCM,BM and SM, made Tobirama the originator of FTG and made him job for a good portion of the fights. Everyone who got brought back Edo got ****ed over(high tiers like Minato go ****ed by Madara and mads himself got ****ed over by plot, also lol at Hashirama). The only Edo who didnt take any Ls, ws of course, Kishis goldenboy Itachi.

Minato is my 2nd favorite character but i don't know what y'all was expecting we knew his moveset was FTG(variants) and Rasengan. We knew he wasn't gonna be OP he hardly beat Obito at 14-16 lol.

Seeing Minato fighting without arms was just sad. He couldn't even hug his son when they said their goodbyes. And Minato was easily swayed by Obito's taunts numerous times, and needed pep talks from Naruto to regain his composure.

It wasn't hatred, it was disappointment...

Kishi to blame, Minato came on-panel with massive hype to justify and he didn't even did the half of it. It all can be made less disappointing if we consider he was faring against almost-DBZ characters and still managed to perform well enough, but the worst thing is either he or Tobirama(not so much) were just killed as a quality character when they were made almost clones of each other.

It's just like how stupid animators couldn't come up with anything original and made Ashura and Indra, Naruto 2.0 and Sasuke 2.0
