Is Shikamaru useless?

[Ciao]

Are Shikamaru's shadow jutsu useless at night time?

 

[Khallil]

no, he still has his mind!

 

[Reaper]

More usefull then 90% of K11

Aslong as you have someone on your team to dish out the damage the likes of Shikamaru will always be welcomed

But yes,the dude needs Lee to help him with his Tai

 

[CurseSealofEarth]

Hmm good point. He was able to use it in the dark Forest with Hidan though so maybe he can.

 

[Twin Steps]

lol funny joke

 

[sagemode jinchuuriki]

no they are more effective because the shadows reach father if my understanding of the justu is correct

 

[Legendary Broly]

Not if the user has produced their own light source

 

[Delta]

No he beat hidan which sucked but can't deny it so he has beaten an akatsuki so he isn't usless

 

[ghetto gladiator]

thats when he's at maximum power

 

[d0kid0ki]

It depends on the position and radiance of the moon.
His mind is too amazeballs for him to be useless even without his shadow jutsus.

I don't think Shikamaru is actually useless. I intentionally made the title dramatic to get people's attention.

 

[Tapey]

hes to smart to be useless.

 

[Melanee]

It's a good question. Never really thought about it. If he was in total darkness it would be hard to execute I'd imagine.

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

Moonlight still casts a shadow so one could imagine he might be more dangerous at night....harder to see his shadow

 

[SharinganUser1]

No

Well, good!
And yay for drama.

 

[BlacLord™]

Absolutely not, there are many possible ways Shikamaru could make his Shadow Possession useful at night, besides, the guy carries lots of ninja tools, of which, he could draw up 100 different strategies.

 

[Khallil]

at night there's even more shadow

 

[Jin Hayami]

This brings about a scientific debate about light that I don't even want to start so ill say this.
Starlight + cigarette lighter + explosive tags = Shikamaru victory.

 

[TheLastSamurai]

at night there's even more shadow

depends on the intensity of the moonlight, + I don't think moonlight can make as much shadows as sunlight
