Correct and besides, I don't think Kishi would've waited this late in the game to pull it out if it wasn't more powerful.kabuto in sm > naruto sm
why ? because he has karin's , suigetsu and jugo's abilities ......
If we're speaking of actual reality then yeah a snake can beat a frog any day. It would just swallow the frog whole.Damage control? how do you know? snakes are stronger than frogs (canon), and we haven't even seen Kabuto, fully, use his new mode....
Also in the manga.Manda can defeat gamabunta, while the slug loses to gama but achieves a victory over the snake.If we're speaking of actual reality then yeah a snake can beat a frog any day. It would just swallow the frog whole.
I am assuming the original poster is only talking about Sage Modes, minus the abilities of Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo.kabuto in sm > naruto sm
why ? because he has karin's , suigetsu and jugo's abilities ......
Kabuto is using more than just Dragon Sage Mode abilities.Matter of fact, we have yet to see Kabuto use any of the dragon sage abilities.I don't see how you can say dragon sage mode= naruto sage mode. If it was going to be that weak he wouldn't need both Itachi and Sasuke to take him on. Can't wait to see what he does next.
