I know being in your prime is like age 25-39 i think but where is everyone getting all this info about prime 3rd,onki and,oro seriously. Also I'm asking how can some "assume" they are this amazing and above the 1st at their perk?

We're getting info on Prime Hiruzen solely through hype. Prime Oro is when he was at his strongest point in the series. I can't say much bout Prime Onoki.

well, prime is actually when you are at your best, doesn't have to be young, but ok,

3rd Hokage is said to have been the strongest Kage when he was in his prime

Onoki had better stamina and more chakra when he was in his prime, so he could use Dust Release more often (didn't really see Onoki prime thread O_O)

A person's prime can be at different ages. On the base, when they're referring to a person's prime they're talking about that character's peak. It usually applies to older characters like Hiruzen and Onaki and it is merely a speculation of the extent of their powers at their supposed "prime"/peak.

Prime Onoki? He's better than he was in his prime which was proven by Deidara if your refering about age.. This Onoki > Young Onoki

Prime Oro is before the sickness..

Age caused 3rd Hokage to lose mosy of his glory, so thats why we refer to a prime hiruzen because he was considered "God of Shinobi"

Basicaly prime is u at your best potential.

Ok but people are saying the 3rd Hokage could do all these jutsu's like he's a beast or has no limit and WHERE IS THE SOURCE!!!

Prime Hiruzen is just a fanboys stuff to defend God of Shinobi which would get his ass kicked by Teenager Sasuke.. True story dude. Hiruzen prime is just a fanboys weapon nothing else.

In overall when the Shinobi is in his prime it means he's in his best-strongest form.

Sounds pretty scary though, doesn't it.

Funnily enough prime is a relative matter: with age one gets more experience, deeper understanding of jutsu and perhaps add a few new jutsu to the arsenal, but with a young age u have more stamina, chakra, mobility but is reckless, less knowledgeable, less experienced and not so many jutsu perhaps. So prime can be at the middle ages too.

When a shinobi reach the peak of his/her ninja strength people call it prime,
when a beef roast/grill to the perfection we call it prime rib,
All hype and no show, all talk and no go we call it Hiruzen.

Prime is at his peak of power, at his/her best.
