After Hashirama stabs hiruzen and hiruzen falls to the ground orochimaru says " Whats wrong" (Taunting him from his recent injury).
Then oro says "do you intend to let the hokages toy with you bit by bit", After hiruzen and clones took multiple stabs from kages while in bringer of darkness.
Oro was refering to them toying with hiruzen whilst being in the genjutsu. Nothing from the fight before genjustu activation shows or implys that they were toying with him.
I respect your interpretation on what was being referred to.
However, once again, why else would Edo Hashirama and Edo Tobirama stand still while Orochimaru and Hiruzen had that little one-on-one segment of the fight? Because they were not needed.
Why else would Orochimaru stand back, and Hashirama + Tobirama not engage in taijutsu against Hiruzen at the same time? Because it was not needed.
He was being toyed with, was being quickly overwhelmed, and he knew it. His only viable option left was RDS.
Anyways, if you think Hashirama and Tobirama were being completely 100% serious in that fight (albeit being controlled, and the manga saying otherwise), you'd be supporting that Hashirama and Tobirama are inferior to Orochimaru (who was soon in need of a new body, and thus was weakening) in terms of taijutsu; he did better against Hashirama/Tobirama than he did against Orochimaru in terms of taijutsu. I remember Orochimaru only having a 3.5 in taijutsu and a 3.5 in strength.
By supporting that, you'd be saying this:
Did you honestly just say Orochimaru, who was soon in need of a new body, and thus was weakening, is more proficient in taijutsu than Hashirama and Tobirama? When just after receiving a susanoo-smashing kick from Tsunade, Edo Madara says that Tsunade's not that weak (just pages after calling Hashirama the ultimate shinobi), says that the Five Kage's combined efforts are nothing compared to Hashirama?:

It doesn't add up. To make what you're saying true, which is that Hiruzen wasn't being toyed with (although the manga clearly says that he was being toyed with), you'd have to say Orochimaru (who was weakening due to being soon in need of a new body) is superior to Hashirama and Tobirama in terms of taijutsu. Which would mean you're going against the manga, because according to Edo Madara's statements Hashirama was not a simple 3.5 in taijutsu or strength.
If you have to go against the manga to prove yourself right, you know you're wrong.
Kages stated that hiruzen was greater in taijutsu because he solo'd hashirama and tobirama with taijutsu alone.
You responed by saying "Here's how Hiruzen did in taijutsu against Edo Hashirama who was a "tool" of Orochimaru being used to toy with Hiruzen:"
And showed hashirama punching hiruzen in the face (even thought that was the only hit hashrama achieved, while hiruzen blew his leg off). You comparing that fight is foolish because hiruzen was not at his best. This thread was to see who the best kage was in specific catergories in their prime. Hiruzen had mastered taijutsu in his prime, and there is no eveidence that even stated that hashriama was fairly good at taijutsu.
So you cant ever try to suggest that hashriama is better because all evidence from manga says hiruzen is better in taijutsu.
What's up with you and reading?
Did you read the manga?
Did you read what I said?
Because from your responses I can tell that you're not...
It hurts.
Since when were explosive tags taijutsu? :sy:
I do believe that was more than one hit. Did you even pay attention to the animation? Come on.
You're using Edo Hashirama, who was a mindless tool being controlled by Orochimaru used to toy with Hiruzen. Orochimaru was shown laughing having the time of his life, although at the start of the fight I do believe he shed a tear in injuring himself rather than killing Hiruzen right then and there (showing that he did show some remorse for what he was about to do).
I do think that Hashirama in his "prime" was when he had multiple biju under his control, not when he was being controlled after death.
