They are split into six bodies so they can do six different things at once and have 6 different sets of eyes to look out for each other. Also fighting 6 different targets is diffficult for the opponent because they are coming at them from six sides so you have to constantly watch your flank. They have great teamwork and chemistry so they can protect each other and whenever one starts to lose, another path just comes in and helps out.

They are also better protected from one shot kill attacks like KA, Kamui, etc since if one path goes down another path can just help out and if the Naraka path doesn't die, the other paths can distract the opponent while Naraka revives.

1on1 Nagato may win, but in most circumstances I'd take the six paths.

Actually the only flaw Nagato,was Kabuto trying to control him and it's mobility.If not for these two factors Naruto could have ended at Nagato vs Itachi,Bee and Naruto.

I think the OP has a point. That being said, I think Nagato and the 6pop are completely different fighters with completely different styles. Some people may do better against either. For example, i think jiraiya would have defeated the 6pop, but he can't defeat nagato. Itachi beat nagato, but wouldn't have the stamina to defeat pain

IMO, Kakashi would have had a better chance against Nagato than he did against the six paths of pain. Nagato is more susceptible to one shot moves.

What?He can use all paths,human,naraka everything in his arsenal it's stuffed in one person.Nagato would just bansho-tenin him and when he tries to use ninjutsu just absorb it,you know the rest.

I disagree. The weaknesses of one path is covered up when Nagato himself uses it. Preta falls victim to taijutsu but when it's just Nagato, he's got Asura Path to help him out. He can use his summonings to cover his field of vision so he can still have multiple eyes watching an opponent. The only advantage to the 6POP is that a path can be revived by Naraka. Nagato by himself would be much more difficult to take down than all 6 IMO

He can't use Naraka when he himself is dead.

Nagato himself is stronger than the 6p0p(enhanced techniques), but if like the guerrilla warfare tactics that he used to kill most of his enemies.

6p0p would be superior in that aspect

He can use it on Kakashi after he used bansho-tenin to pull him towards Nagato .and absorbed his ninjutsu.It Kakashi tries to stab his he just uses Asura Path.Nagato>6POP.

since nagato could not move on his own 6pop seems better
in a way it is better because of safety concern

i agree .. 6pop is more advantageous for a sensor controlling puppets

The manga said Nagato is better

But I do agree with you about the fighting style and fighting 6 oponents will be tougher.

six paths of pain is better

they're very Tough if you don't have any Intel on Each body

and even if you have an intel on each body and destroyed them u will not know Nagato's location easily who is far away from the Battlefield

and usually if someone strong won against these body he will have a deadly wound for sure for fighting all these bodies at once

i think the connection between their eyes make them stronger, there's no blind spot U_U and they were fighting a village.

Nagato is better than the 6pop crew because he's a natural sensor, i shouldn't have to go into detail about how devastating he'd be in a 1 on 1 being a sensor and having extra sets of eyes, not to mention all his techniques are stronger.
