Where would you Rank Orochimaru in the Akatsuki

[Apple Knight]

If you rank Akatsuki from Strongest to weakest where would you put Orochimaru.

Only use these members Pain Kisame Kakuzu Hidan Konan Zetsu sasori Deidara

 

[Yang release]

With his edo tensei

1.itachi
2. Pain
3.orochimaru

 

[villain55]

1. Itachi
2. Sasuke
3. Obito
4. Pein
Than orochimaru

 

[Melanin]

My initial ranking..

Itachi
Nagato
Obito
Kisame
Orochimaru
Konan
Deidara
Kakuzu
Sasori
Hidan
Zutsu

I think Orochimaru could take everyone @bold . Itachi & Nagato clearly beat Orochimaru and Kisame would wear him out (Orochimaru would probably throw in towel even).

 

[Yata Mirror]

Why are people putting Itachi above Nagato??
Itachi has no counter to Chibaku Tensei

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Just below Kisame but above Sasori and Deidara.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

If you count edo tensei then one of the top for sure

 

[Char Aznable]

1. Pein/Nagato
2. Itachi
3. Obito
4. Deidara
5. Kisame
6. Orochimaru - Not including Edo Tensei. With Edo Tensei, he'd be top 5.
7. Konan
8. Sasori
9. Kakuzu
10. Hidan
11. Pre-DSM Kabuto - With DSM he's top 3.
12. Zetsu

 

[Ricardo]

1. Itachi
2. Doesn't matter cuz Itachi solos.

Beats the f*ck out of me.

I think that their argument is just totsuka blitz of something like that.

 

[KcMSean]

Pain
Kisame
Orochimaru
Sasori
Kakuzu
Deidara
Konan
Hidan
Zetsu

 

[LuckyMan]

He's at the top above everyone because of Edo Tensei. The 4 Edo Hokage are in his arsenal and they crap on the whole akatsuki. Only the strongest survive and who is the only living Akatsuki from your group? Orochimaru.

 

[Yang release]

Itachi is invincible and the only time he was serious with killing intent was with Nagato and he negged all his paths and rinnegan shared vision and sealed that fodder!

 

[Lelouch Vi Britani]

Just below Kisame but above Sasori and Deidara.

Sorry but i would have to disagree with you on this. Kisame is truly a beast but he still can't reach to the level of 3 senins.

Weren't they restricted by Kabuto's control?
Preta and Deva both neg Amaterasu
When it's gets really bad for Nagato, all he needs is Chibaku Tensei

I feel like Orochimaru was neutered throughout Shippuden though. Full potential Orochimaru is beyond either Sannin and Kisame (and yet still not on par with Itachi (how do Shippuden power scales work in Kishi's eyes lol) but the way he's constantly nerfed means that in sheer battle i'd put Kisame just above him if we're talking armless Oro.

 

[NarutoX28]

Right below Itachi and Pain and above everybody else

All of a sudden when Itachi starts soloing Nagato's restricted but when he was putting a beating on Killer B & Naruto(Top Tier Jinchuuriki) he wasn't lol yeah ok man we can go with that

Right below Itachi and Pain and above everybody else

Even with ET?
