Gaara vs Minato Begin!!!

 

[Owarij]

i Can see minato winning by applying a seal to gaaras sand, and getting him from that

 

[sam i am]

minato

 

[Sharinnigan]

i think minato would play around with him and drop gamabuntas sack on him.

 

[Thund3rGod]

I would say Minato but to find that out, we actually have to see the fight xP

 

[Better]

Minato.. just way too fast for my boy gaara

 

[10TailedPower]

this would be an interesting match-up, if minato could get gaara before he creates a huge desert of sand then I think minato. if gaara creates a huge desert then I might have to give it to him, going from what we have seen up to this point. we havent seen minatos elemental affinity or his extent with sealing, so from there minato would use FTG heavily, and I wonder if he could get gaara if his kunai get caught and moved by gaaras sand.

 

[Kakashi Fang]

Maybe it's just me but I can see Gaara winning this.

 

[NarutoKage2]

Minato.. just way too fast for my boy gaara

Yeah probly.


On another note, the anime will finally show Minato vs Tobi!! Can't wait

lol me too, if the fight doesn't last longer then a second

remember when minato rushed tobi to get to baby naruto

imagine that but rushing at gaara, his sand won't be able to realize whats happening lol he gets tagged

then FTG

ExactLy I see the same thing happening, Gaara finding and either burying or flinging the kunais away.

 

[aperson]

As much as i like gaara minato is winning this one.

Tobi was paying attention to slicing Naruto though and not just Minato, and he planned to kill naruto then and there he would have just snapped his baby neck instead of throw him in the air and try slicing him.

Gaara would be focused on just Minato in this fight and if he/his sand can anticipate Amaterasu and Raikages leg drop to intercept them than I think he can do the same to Minato.

I think gaara is a great ninja but minato takes this. All he really needs is ftg because although gaaras sand more or less has its on consciousness (remembering it moving by itself back during the exams) naruto was able to out speed it waaaaaaay back then so ftg can easily get around it. Some would say the sand would keep the kunai away but im willing to bet minato had thousands of them sealed away for use so its just a matter of throwing hundreds and hundreds til gaara doesnt notice one landing nearby, then he gets tagged and soon after killed. Like i said, i like gaara but the ftg teleport jutsu is the worst possible matchup for his sand because he cant keep up

either way tobi didn't even see minato coming

tobi's reflexes >>>>>>>> Gaara

his sand was barely able to keep up with jokey boy tho, how is he going to keep up with the fastest ninja ever

thats his bigger weakness, even bigger then oil and water

a ninja who is extremely extremely fast

Thousands of kunai sealed away...... Really!? Assumptions assumptions.....

On any given day Minato would most likely carry around a maximum of 10 special marked Kunai, just because anymore than that would hinder you performance unless he can summon kunai like Tenten.

You can only speculate Tobi didn't see him coming because that's the way he acted it out. Tobi could have just warped Naruto away if that was his intention, but Tobi just wanted to create some distance between Minato and Kushina, so he anticipated Minato rescuing naruto therefore successfully separating him from Kushina.

I believe his sand was still mixed with the gold dust therefore stunting it's mobility a bit making it hard to keep up with jouki boy.

You say extremely fast opponents are gaaras weakness but I think it's the other way around Gaara being extremely fast opponents weakness. Extremely fast Rock lee was caught and nearly killed by Gaara, extremely fast aerial ace Deidara got his arm ripped of by Gaara, gaaras sand caught and Immobilized the 3rd Raikage without him noticing, gaaras sand intercepted Raikages super fast legdrop, also intercepted the near instantaneous Amaterasu on multiple occasions. So Minatos base speed will not be a problem for Gaara unless you think that he is faster than Amaterasu and 3rd and 4th Raikages clad in lightning armor.

Fanboy loyalty

Gaara vs Minato Begin!!!

Minato could win this one. Gaara's sand wasn't able to react to Lee's immense speed, which proves it has a period of lag time - the time it takes to detect and react.

If Lee was able to outspeed Gaara's sand, I don't see how Minato wouldn't be able to

Gaara is not a weakness to fast people.

Lee only got captured before he took off his weights. The second he took them off Gaara could not touch him. Hell, he couldn't even see him. In the end of the fight, Gaara was only able to catch Lee and crush his arm and leg because Lee was suffering from the effects of the 5th gate and couldn't move.

Deidara is not known for his speed, so I don't see why he's included.

A's Leg Drop wasn't as fast as his true speed. He wasn't slamming down on Sasuke at the same speed that he was dodging Amaterasu with. He was airborne and falling down onto Sasuke with a Leg Drop. Other than the fact that it was a nintaijutsu, it was a classic leg drop. Unless he can somehow fly in the air I don't see how you're comparing the speed of his Leg Drop to his overall speed.

As for Amaterasu, Gaara's sand was able to block it and it does indeed show that it's fast, but it still doesn't prove that Minato isn't a problem for him.

1. Gaara's sand was able to block Amaterasu
2. A was able to dodge Amaterasu
3. BUT, Minato was faster than A
If you put these lines of reason together, then the fact that Gaara's sand could block Amaterasu is null.

How do we know Gaara's sand is faster than Minato? We don't.
