By the time Minato gets done on the battlefield.

[Kettei]

I gaurantee Minato > Itachi.He still has loads of techniques to show us.Minato > Itachi

 

[narutocentral]

I was wondering when someone was going to bring itachi up.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

Don't start this, not when I have a migraine...

We'll see, we'll see . I favor Minato but I doubt Kishimoto would degrade His favorite character ( Itachi ).

 

[zamki]

I really doubt that but Let's see.

 

[Baka Sennin]

it's already amply clear that Minato>Itachi. the mere fact that Minato is matched up at a numerical disadvantage against high tiers while edo itachi needed reinforcement to beat high tier shinobi already settles it. then there's the little fact that minato's plan succeeded whereas itachi's flopped.

itachi is simply shown in a very good light because he's got a massive fanbase, so kishi brought him back and gave him some bs feats like defeating nagato when he couldnt possibly see the king of hell much less blind him, or defeat kabuto with izanami when izanagi is expressly stated to need senju dna, so why not its twin?

feats are a very poor way to judge a character's strength. because shinobi who are shown in a lot of fights like naruto, sasuke, itachi and kakashi are naturally going to have way more feats than shinobi who arent shown. but then we see tobirama who didn't have a single feat to his name cream an uchiha almost on madara's level, and suddenly he's top ten. common sense would have given us a good indication of his strength way before that.

itachis not his favorite

 

[phylos]

Oh lord not another thread with the same subject.

 

[Kettei]

Yeah Sasuke is.But Minato will show us some type of Speed Blitz shiz.

 

[fahadkurama]

Please don't :leaf:

 

[Kettei]

We'll see.Kishi has much more planned for Minato.You just cant set aside the fastest character in a series.He was shown for a brief second in a flashback.

 

[Bieber]

He's badass, the way he showed up with perfect timing.

 

[CDT23]

lol i was waiting for this, lets see before we speak. we all remember what happened to the whole Kabuto vs Itachi and Sasuke predictions right? haha

 

[Jusanbi]

I love both Itachi and Minato, however in assessing both of their capabilities and their canonical placement in the series, I simply have to agree that Minato is a stronger shinobi than Itachi. "The Four Greatest Soldiers ready for battle" had not included Itachi within it, and the label was meant exactly as it was. Itachi is no less a splendid fighter, and perhaps the kindest of hearts and best of characters personality wise and with an emotional back story of course.

Yes but I think they sent him first for a reason...Kishi has 5 other character to show off (1st, 2nd, 3rd hokage, Orochimaru, and lastly Sasuke.) Lets see if Madara has a counter for Minato. i would say Naruto is the fastest, Minato is the quickest.

is it a searing migraine?...

 

[Fodder#4]

God..I hate Minato fan boys.. They're like Itachi fan boys, but they aren't nearly as entertaining...

And I bet Minato was calmly watching everything go down, and was just planning to hop in when he could make the "coolest" entry. . . God damn Minato!

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Who cares? They're both bland, obnoxiously ambiguous characters that don't share a shed of depth between them.

Both Itachi AND Minato suck equally and are boringly OP, who cares which one is more OP?

 

[aimop95]

at the very least we will see at least one new jutsu (or a variant of an old one).
