XD it's funny you bring Aizen up. I just watched those episodes of Bleach last night....Gawd I hate Aizen with a passion and I was so happy when Ichigo stomped the floor with him....But you know....It was all part of Aizen's plan to get beat by Ichigo and get sealed by Urahara Kisuke because he knew Juhabach and the rest of the Quincy were going to attack Soul Society and he wanted a nice cushy cell to watch it all go down in before he makes his escape....all planned by Aizen the one and true solo king of all Shonen universes.
You forgot Bee's hacked off tenticle too.
In Hashirama's defense I believe it was stated that bijuu are stronger when they have a host than when they are alone. But even so you are right. As cool as it was to see Naruto pretty much solo 6 Jins, it should not have gone down that way. I mean he had Bee there. It should have been a joint effort. That's what annoys me about Naruto Shippuden, the power scale keep changing to fit whatever mess up Kishi realizes he did in any given fight so that the hero always prevails. I mean Naruto has had help in most of his fights, why should that one have been any different. I could see both 8 and 9 tails beating the other 6 jins, but a 50% jin beating 6 100% jins was really one of the biggest trolls yet.
That's what I'm saying. Reaper Death Seal and 8 trigrams seal are not the same seals. So how is using Reaper Death Seal going to mak Minato a Jin and then how is Minato going to train to use the other half of the Kyuubi's chakra?
By that reasoning then Hiruzen should be able to use Mokuton, Hirashin, and Orochimaru's Jutsu because he sealed Hashirama, Tobirama, and Orochimaru's arms inside himself too right?
