actually,kakuzu did pretty well in taijutsu as seen his taijutsu matched a sharingan user.but kisame's better IMO becausetrue, thats why its alwais guy fighting him..pure taijutsu is the only way to beat kisame...kakuzu didnt show ani
Okay are you seriously right now, it was the Rasenshuriken from episode 140 or something, and now we are at Episode 219, Do you really think that Naruto would kill Kisame with the previous Rasenshuriken from before, if we are talking about the Rasangan from now then it'll be one hit KO.One weak FRS? It's still one of the only S-rank attacks we've seen in the anime, and eventhough he can't throw it like in sage mode, it's still bad-ass. If Naruto would hit a pointblank FRS on Kisame, he would be just as dead as Kakuzu.
You're comparing things that didn't even occur, how can you get a valid power measurement out of that?
I kinda agree, Kakuzu really isn't that impressive to me. He was a good shinobi but was almost the weakest out of their organization.Do you guys even know how weak Kakuzu is? Naruto used one weak Rasenshuriken against him and died at once, Kisame is much stronger even if he has the hart's lol, remember Kisame can Absorb technique's to let Samehada gain power and strength.
you didn't mention a thing about kisame's waterdome.......which makes people recognize his powerKakuzu's long range protects him from the sword. Kisame would be playing dodge alot. However, Kisame's sword could gather chakra from his heart things. Since, Kisame is close range, and Kakuzu isn't, I'll give this one to Kisame if he can into striking distance of Kakuzu. You can replace hearts, but not chakra (I think xd). He'll just need that one good attack.
And Kakuzu is one of the strongest ninjas. He fought Kakashi, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, and Naruto before dying. He would've beat the first three if Naruto didn't show up. He only lost due to underestimating Naruto, plus a RasenShurikin to the back means game over.
The match is hard. I'm not going to vote. Too close.

I know, but it sounded better if it was 1 on four xdI respect your opinion, but he fought Kakashi, Ino and chouji (basically 1 vs. 1) and fought Naruto soley when he arrived. Also, in each fight he got caught in basic strategies; Naruto's clones which he used twice and Kakashi sneaking up behind him.
Lol iightI know, but it sounded better if it was 1 on four xd
He really fought Kakashi, who was actually having to cover for Ino/Chouji, so it wasn't 100% Kakashi. He still almost won though.
I think he underestimated them and that's why he failed for the basic stuff.
I think Kisame wins this one, due to what I said earlier. One good strike at close range and bam.
i completly agree, kisame is bad assI believe this one goes to kisame because:
Even though kisame is short range so is naruto and he got close to him. Naruto used 2clones to distract Kakuzu, well Kisame can do the same. We saw in one of his fights with Guy he easily made 3 to hold Lee, TenTen and Neji. Also Kakuzu is maore of a long range fighter and in the old Naruto series Shino stated when fightin Kankuro that long range fighters find it difficult when short range fighters are near them. This alone turns the tide in Kisame's favour. Also Kisame has long range attacks and if he uses the ultimate shark technique he used in his final showdown with Guy, Kakuzu is done for because it absorbs whatever chakra is in its path including techniques.
Kisame also doesnt have to worry about Kakuzu's water, fire and lightning affiliations. If confronted with lightning he can redirect it toward kakuzu or simply away from himself like Shikamaru did. If it comes to water he can absorb it like Kakashi did.
Also I'm guessin Kakuzu underestimates everyone because they are younger than him (and quite frankly that was his downfall).
