Great, great point. I mean its comparable to Gai/Lee only having Taijutsu, but on a whole different level. Not only can a sword be more lethal than any Taijutsu, but there is no side effects from using it like when opening the gates. Plus, Mifune's speed at using his sword is incomparable, seriously. And your right of course, it seems Hanzou is only regenerating not actually disintegrating....but I guess Kishi left that unclear for anticipation purposes!Ok, guys, you all say Mifune is overpowered... would you care to explain how that is? He doesn't use ninjutsu, he seems to have been around for quite some time - don't you think that someone who has his experience and is at his age would not have spent years perfecting his speed and sword skills? I mean, he has nothing else to train - no ninjutsu, no genjutsu... And by the way, let me remind you that this fight is not over yet - Hanzou will regenerate as all Edo's do, he has to be immobilized or sealed. But, hey, if you insist on ranting about how the chapter was a disappointment - be my guest, I won't stop you as that will only be a waste of your time![]()
Thanks man, and ya seeing Pein's 'look' again was pretty awesome. Your right though, the way they translated Mifune's explanation on page 14 was a bit confusing...when I first read it and Hanzou said "what did you say?" I was like ya, what did you say? lolI think it was a very good chapter although *********** is sometimes using very rare english words :O
Anyway I found it also very nice that we know who killed Hanzo and we saw Pains look again
All in all I have to agree with Floydical.
LOL... Yeah agreed,,, looks like the legendary sannin was mean to be legendary GENIN....Agreed, I honestly thought the fight would be more intense than that.
Now that we are seeing Hanzou's disappointing fight, I'm questioning the reputation of the 3 Sannin.
i agree with you...sort of. I do think the way they explain certain matchups is kind of suspicious (for example hanzo beat the sannin but is being taken down so easy here) because honestly no matter how powerful the samurai was, a strong ninja is gonna figure out something to at least last 5 minutes (another example: kakashi vs. kakuzu. kakuzu was terribly stronger than kakashi but kakashi still had him on his toes).I personally feel like the manga is spiraling out of control and this chapter proves it. Don't feed me all this crap about Mifune being a powerhouse samurai. Mifune just beat one of the strongest ninjas of all time, a ninja who slapped around the 3sannin. This ninja war has added bad characters with laughable ninjutsu (say a word and I beat you with my banana fan), on top of that it ruins Hanzo's persona. I thought this manga was called "Naruto"? , why is naruto missing out on all the great battles (potentially great battles I mean)? I love this manga, but this war is slowly ruining a great story.
Nice.. swordfight ! I think that people on Narutobase made the legend of Hanzo we never saw very much of him. Besides he was fighting the 3 sannin on a young age. And it appears Hanzou also has his secrets while fighting. Mifune lost to him before, and he didn't use any ninjutsu. So i think it's safe to say we havn't seen his true strength here. You shouldn't rule Mifune out too, he is basically a kage too. I think it was a good fight supported by Miffune's speech. The flashback of them clashing looked cool. Young Mifune looked badass.
who sais Hanzo is defeated? Hanzo is definitely not at peace. He is a master of war after all.Hanzo defeasted just like that??? come on...... Kishi could have done much better!!! Was looking for an awesome fight between the samurai and hanzo!!! Though the talk between them was good. [Thoughts] hmmm ...... Probably kishi wanted to make a point as Faith (Mifune's Peace) can cut through legends (Hanzo)!!!!
