Why do people underrate Tobirama?

[Omnipotent]

I really want to know why. I think he's cool.

 

[Darth Vader]

We never saw him do anything.

 

[Madara mhm]

Nobody underestimates tobirama, if he was a KAGE, then hes very well respected. hes the god of water ninjutsu.

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

Nah, Tobirama is a beast.

Look for posts with him included. He's treated as if he's any typical Jonin, but mentioned a LOT more often.

It has to do with him losing to 20 ninjas which people dont understand they were 20 elite s ranked ninjas who were from kumo who most or all ninjas are lighting users and tobirama is a water user

Yeah but still that's not a reason to automatically put him under everyone (some people include him and put him under low Kage-level shinobi).

Tobirama is a boss, i want to see his suton xd

 

[karoOna]

who is tobirama exactly??

 

[Makoto]

People in fact do underrate Tobirama too much.

I'm sure you know, but he's the Nidaime Hokage (just in case you don't).

It's great to know that other people have noticed

Because he is Almost Featless/Hypeless.

All he is known for is being the best Water style user and a weaker version of Edo tensei.

People on the Base constantly forget that Minato studied and based his S/T jutsu off of Tobirama's (he only references to 'Lord Second'"s S/T jutsu, and who else could he had based his S/T jutsu off of?).

The best water style user makes him > Kisame. The fact that he has combination jutsu with his brother means he was around his level. Like I said before, although we don't know too much about him, it's unfair to put low-Kage level shinobi above him.

 

[Shadow Abyss]

The answer is simple, he is the Hokage we know the least and the few feats we know about him are overlooked because:

1 - His water jutsu
When Tobirama made his debut in the manga the fact he was able to use Suiton techniques with no nearby water bodies was treated as a legendary skill and an statement of his power, even Zabuza needed water. Today, many water users displayed the ability to vomit their own water making Tobirama's once legendary skill something mundane. Yes, you heard me well, Tobirama vomits water to make his Suiton jutsu, the air moisture stuff was only in the anime.

2 - Edo Tensei
Indeed one of the most broken techniques ever created in this manga. We know Tobirama created it and that alone could make him one of the most powerful characters, except for the fact it was Orochimaru who finished it. That makes the implication he started researching it, but changed his mind, labeled it as forbidden and dropped the project. It is questionable how far he came into said research or if he was able to use Edo Tensei in an incomplete form.

3 - His S/T Technique
Probably the most controversal of his skills. Kishimoto said he had a S/T jutsu, but never stated how it worked, its effects, we don't even know the name of the jutsu. It is problematic to take into account a technique we don't know anything about.

By the way, there's another problem. He is the brother of the legendary Hashirama, a character that received so much attention nowadays his feats are completely overshadowing his brother. People tend to overlook Tobirama in favor of Hashirama.
Well, I suppose it explains the most common reasons about why he is so underrated. Basically, people don't want the author to say "look, that character is strong" through the mouth of someone to prove said character's strength, they want him to actually show it. We had an opportunity to see Hashirama's techniques through Madara's hands, now we need an opportunity for Tobirama, an actual display/explanation of his S/T tech should help.

I don't think enough is known about him for us to rate him. He is a mystery

 

[Izuna Kakashi Senju]

Mostly because we haven't seen him in action apart from when he was revived by Oro, but that wasn't alot and because he was killed by 20 elite Kumohagure ninjas. Me personally think that he possessed great power to become a kage and he was the creator of Edo Tensei plus he was said to be an amazing water user performing Suiton jutsu's without a water source.

 

[Simple Math]

who underrate him? we know he was kage level for sure, since he was chose as hokage.. beside that, we haven't seen what he can do..
we dont know enough about him..
