Asuma says that he will become the strongest. That's obviously encouragement; do you think that Choji > Hashirama now? Are you joking?
I don't know why you talk about Hashirama now. I said that i'm only comparing him with other ninjas in K11
I was talking about Tsunade's punches making shockwaves like that. So Choji's stronger than Tsunade?
Ah, if it is what you mean, then yes i believe Choji has more power than Tsunade
If he's one of the strongest, how would he counter Sakura's poison? Automatic #9 lol
You mean the small smoke bomb easily avoidable?
He couldn't "hurt" Asuma because Asuma was never alive. It was Asuma himself that had to explain it to him a countless amount of times before he understood. Are you saying if Choji had to fight Kakashi, he wouldn't hesitate at all?
Well, Edo or not, he didn't wanted to hurt Asuma, right? It means the fact he was Edo has nothing to do with it. He didn't wanted simply because he was emotionally weak, but he changed in that fight. Kishi spent an entire chapter to show us Choji change and the fact that after that, he crushed Asuma, was to show us that he changed. I don't know how it's hard for you to understand. So yes, if he is forced to fight Kakashi as a ennemy, i see him fighting and going all out
