Tobis jinchuuriki......

Naruto had already seperated the connection between the Bijuus/Gedo Mazo and the Edo Jinchuurikis when he pulled out the stakes. Those Jinchuurikis were no longer a threat.

He prevented a civil war. Ok.

- He tried to seal Orochimaru away forever; Fail.
- He tried to mould his brother into a hero; Fail.
- He tried to take out Tobi with a cowardly Amaterasu after he had died; Fail.
- He ended Edo Tensei, but only managed to remove about 4 from play; Fail.
- The main threat, Madara, is still around; Fail.
- By his own admission, he failed.

He may be a 'hero', but he still failed.

This^^
But he is a great character and a great man. ^^

He was a good character overall, and even though a lot of his efforts were in vain, he still had his moments. If it wasn't for him Tobi would already have Kurama and Hachibi because Naruto and Bee wouldn't have been able to stop Nagato. That alone has made a huge difference in how this war has played out.

pretty much was....tell me who could take him down???? now even the BEST defence of the shikaku could stop him

The 5th Division was there...Kimimaro isn't soloing 1000 odd people with taijutsu alone, especially considering the strength of some of the Edos that were sealed by (what many refer to as) fodders.

Yeah he was full of failure. He was a fodder character whose only meaning in the manga was to give Sasuke MS and EMS.

Kimimaro could have easily soloed 1000, if plot wasn't against him that is. With unlimited chakra he could have just kept spamming that last technique he used against Gaara, and traveled trough the channel of bones picking off survivors.

He still removed the jins.....They were still at a burden because the hachibi had to restrain/guard them...weather they were fighting or not they still were a burden to naruto's team....If the jins were not dangerous anymore why guard them? Also he set out to end edo tensi and he did just that so how is that a fail? He released all surviving edos from edo tensi so he did what he set out to do. weather he released many or just a few does not matter he still ended edo tensi

All it would take is for them to call in someone like Darui or Mifune and Kimimaro would soon be overwhelmed by the amount of opponents.

I mean, look at it how you want, it's pretty clear to me that ending Edo Tensei didn't prove wholly successful. Itachi himself had alot to offer the army and would've been of great use...

I don't think you understand just how OP Kimimaro really was.

200 meters converted equal out to about 650+ feet, and even then the bones stuck out of the ground what seem to be about a good 50 feet. If Kimimaro is standing on the ground, and decides to use that technique I really can't see how Mifune or Darui would survive.

Yep, I know he's OP, and I didn't mean to imply that he could necessarily be soloed by either one of them. But do you know who else was OP? Edo Deidara. And he was sealed with relative ease. There are shinobi who are suited to fighting a taijutsu user such as Kimimaro, with long ranged attacks, which could be Katon or Suiton based for example, being particularly effective. Kimimaro, in the end, would be overwhelmed by the army. Now, Itachi removing someone like Muu from play was very helpful, as 'numbers don't matter' against such a powerful Kekkei Touta user. But Kimimaro could've been manually taken down by those in the army, eventually.

lol Deidara was trolled beyond belief, and you know it. But yes, I agree with you, he would have eventually been stopped one way or another. Although I don't think anyone in the 5th division could have done it. The fact that he was still "alive" after all this time just goes to show how much trouble they were having with him.
