A good analysis except for one thing. Tobi doesn't need to constantly send chakra to his paths because they aren't dead bodies like Nagato's were. They are edo tensei, capable of acting while not being in the presence of Tobi.
For each path to have a Rinnegan, a sharingan, Madara's malice according to Naruto and he called them the Six Paths of Pain, he's flowing Chakra into them and they have Rinnegan powers.Tobi does not have to be close to control his paths.
Nagato had to be close because he was pumping his own chakra into the dead bodies to animate them via chakra rods.
Tobi's paths are Edos so they are like vampires under mind control and the rinnegan acts as the mind control device.
To perform Chibaku Tensei Tobi does not have to stop all the paths activities because unlike Nagato and his paths Tobi and his paths have their own chakra reserves.
Tobi has all the powers granted by the rinnegan in his original body, the six other paths have their own abilities.
He won't be throwing Kunai, he'll use a time space barrier to teleport the center of the chibaku tensei to another location. I don't think he can just use Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei, there's a long time limit between techs of that scale.Can Tobi use the giant shinra tensei and Push all the kunais, along with minato, away? Minato could teleport to his kunais but what if they are all flying away and then Tobi uses chibaku tensei to drag minato and his kunais to the black sphere. He tryes to throw another one and once again it goes to the sphere so he might not have a way out of this one.
Yes they function like human beings who become paralysed when Rinnegan chakra flows into them from a long distance, eg Jiraiya, Naruto.Look they are Edo tensei unless they are sealed or kabuto cancels the justsu they will function, there is no ifs or buts about it.
This fight actually happened... Your right.. Minato would pwn Tobi.. But there's no need to go around and make hypothetical fights. :|I am going to give you a factual explanation of how Minato beats Tobi as he is now.
The Six Paths receive chakra from the main body, the main body has to be close to the paths so that they can receive chakra which is why Pain couldn't just send his bodies to invade Konoha. If Minato teleports the paths to a location far away from Tobi, they can't receive chakra will become dead bodies and he can seal them. He can use the Four Symbols Seal to seal them into a kunai, this seal according to Databook seals a target into an object or a living being.It was used with another four symbols seal to form the Eight Trigrams Seal and since Minato could perform the sealing in his last moments it doesn't take a long time. Minato will mark the Six Paths then teleport himself to a remote location, summon the eight trigrams throne and place a kunai on it in that location, teleport back to the paths then take them one by one to that location and seal them into it one by one before Tobi can come to the rescue then face Tobi one on one.
Beating Tobi one on one will be easy, he places a ftg seal under his feet and charges at Tobi, Tobi charges at him like before, he throws a kunai Tobi let's it slip through him and when he catches up to Tobi he markes the ground with the seal under his feet. Tobi solidifies to attack with either absorbing or Rinnegan soul sucking, when he makes contact with Minato, Minato teleport to the previously thrown kunai and tries to attack with a kunai, Tobi this time repels him with Shinra Tensei then he teleports to the ftg seal he marked on the ground with his feet and attacks, Tobi can't repel him cuz of the 5 second limit he stabs him in the Sharingan destroying his time space abilities, marks him then teleports and kills him with a stab to the brain.
I stated how Minato would win. The reason I made this thread was cuz after the last chapter was released someone made a Tobi can beat Minato thread and NB's been boring.This fight actually happened... Your right.. Minato would pwn Tobi.. But there's no need to go around and make hypothetical fights. :|
Oh, I see what you are saying this time. I don't think it would be one sided though. The smallest mistake could be fatal.He won't be throwing Kunai, he'll use a time space barrier to teleport the center of the chibaku tensei to another location. I don't think he can just use Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei, there's a long time limit between techs of that scale.
