Did your opinion of Minato change after he was revived?

[Narutobirama]

Even before 4 Hokage were revived Tobirama seemed an interesting and strong character to me. But Minato was my second favorite character.

After they were revived and we saw more of Tobirama and Minato, Tobirama became my second favorite character.

Now, Minato is my third favorite character.

I guess I have mixed feelings about Minato. On one hand, he was truly important during fight against Juubi and Obito and he saved world a few times. But on the other hand, I liked more the way he was when he was alive. The way he dealt with situation when Naruto was born was brilliant.

And then after getting revived, there were so many moments that changed my opinion of him. From the way he was portrayed not in the league with the strongest Shinobi, such as Hashirama. Then he started making long Jutsu names, something we have never seen from him when he was alive. Then he lost an arm, which was understandable but on top of that brought explosive Jutsu from Obito to Naruto and Sasuke. Then if he wasn't saved by Tobirama, he would've likely not be able to fight. Then it was revealed it was Tobirama who created Hiraishin, not Minato. Then he started getting emotional because masked man was his student, while he was perfectly calm when Naruto was born even though his child, wife and village were in danger and masked man could have been Madara. And then even Tobirama called him stupid. And after that, he did not save his son, he complained about not having enough Chakra and seemed confused.

And after that he stopped Sasuke from killing Obito which allowed Madara to be revived. And after that he gave half of Kurama to Black Zetsu after an emotional flashback where he says he should do it because he is a father. And after that he shows he has a Sage mode, which he completely ignored, even when it was revealed it was Obito's only weakness. And then he loses another hand, his Rasengan forces Kakashi to use Kamui to defend himself. And then he hits Gaara with his Obito after getting kicked by Madara. And then he says his Sage mode is not suited for fighting. And then after helping Guy teleport Madara's attack, he waits and when the fight is over and Mugen Tsukuyomi activated, he is lying in Konoha wondering what happened. And then when he finally speaks to Naruto he didn't hug him because he had no arms. Naruto could've still hugged him, though.

And keep in mind Minato had Bijuu mode, unlike other Hokage. It is somewhat disappointing, as if he was the only one of them who needed it. It would've been more impressive if he was without it. And even with all that power, he didn't exactly overshadow Hokage. Yes, he had impressive moments but in my opinion, Bijuu mode Minato should have been even more impressive.

As I say, Minato did well but it certainly changed my opinion and showed him in a different light than when he was alive. He is still my third favorite character but I would prefer, if he did some things differently. But then again, there are many things in Naruto I would've liked to be changed. Did your opinion of Minato change?

 

[Megax Rocker7]

Nope.

 

[Sasori]

He got solo'd most of the time but yeah h was still cool

 

[Hyuga Prodigy]

Nope, cause I was never interested in Minato in the first place, in fact it made me like tobirama FTG more than Minato.

 

[Loki d]

He got solo'd most of the time but yeah h was still cool

Yep ever since that I have had a different view of him

 

[Obito the supreme jin]

No, I have always liked Minato from the start of the series when he was introduced as the hero who saved Konoha from Kurama. I also agree the way he dealed with Obito and managed to seal Kurama into Naruto was pure brilliant. After getting revived he seemed more cooler to me. The way how he just FTG that TBB and Naruto prasiing him by saying " you were right on time Dad " was an excellent moment to see. Some character flaws within him is that his SM was identical to Naruto, I mean come on Hashi had a unique style of SM which was respectable, I expected something different from Minato.

Also him struggling with naming jutsus as the attack that Naruto and Sasuke made to beat the Juubi was also kind of dumb/stupid but I really like the fact that though his arm was cut he could still use a Kunai from his mouth and still use the FTG to give 8 Gates Gai the opening to strike Madara. He might have failed as a sensei but he didn't fail as a father. It was well written by Kishi. In fact I respected Minato more when he was revived as a ET. The interaction between father and son was great. The fist bump was great because Minato was able to share his ideals to Naruto.

He might have messed up when he transmitted Yin Kurama to Naruto because BZ stole it but there is no way I can hate Minato as a character. Truly a boss character with flaws. So no it didn't change.

 

[Rozari]

Not really

 

[professorkim123]

Damn so many negative things about minato yet he's still your 3rd fave?

Yes. Before he was revived I imagined him as a character, that even when a darkness and evil mastermind lurks in shadows, if he ever was to make a move, he would be stopped by a flash, an uncatchable bright light, not only because of his blonde hair or technique but because of light his heart emanates, a young man, never failing, would protect the village and those important to him.

 

[Calpal]

As far as personality goes I think I'm disappointed with the strange transition between being cool as a cucumber badass, to goofy weird jutsu namer. But I also feel the whole war arc was rushed. That being said, no. Minato to me is still formidable against most top tiers, and his techniques had been shown with more versatility.
honestly I feel like he was good enough without bm, so to me it seemed Kishi left him on the back burner because as a character, from what all we knew, was exceptionally capable

 

[The Necromancer]

Minato was cool until he was revived.

Then we learned that he actually stole his entire fighting style from Tobirama, and even basically copied Rasengan from a TBB.

His genius was also totally overshadowed by Tobirama, which was disappointing.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

At first i thought minato was dope. After seeing edo tensei minato, he became more dope

 

[Gold Lightning]

You have some stupid high expectations. He was the most impressive Hokage before even using bijuu mode. Arriving first to the battlefield and displaying how far superior his speed was. Then saving the alliance from the Juubi bomb singlehandedly and setting up 4 kunai markings around the Juubi so fast that no one saw or noticed it. That was all before bijuu mode.

Him having bijuu mode didn't mean he wasn't strong enough to compete with the rest, because as I've already stated, his showings without bijuu were beyond impressive. Losing his arms were unfortunate, but at the same time he fought the longest and hardest. While Tobirama and Hashirama were pinned to the ground, minato was still supporting. Saving the ninja whole of shinobi kind twice! Is the greatest feat there could have been in the war.

Getting upset over your the outcome of how your student turned out isn't wrong, Kakasho got emotional over Obito and became unable to fight, but he got over it. Him having silly jutsu names doesn't mp take away from a character with barely any screen time. Of course things were gonna be revealed that you didn't know about said character.

 

[animals74]

well tbh only naru sasu could hold a fight to rinegan madara, everyone else looked pretty weak

They are high expectations but not stupid.

I have high expectations, I admit. But that is to be expected of a character who was my second favorite character. I wouldn't if I didn't care about the character.

And they are not too high because even though I disliked what I mentioned above, he is still my third favorite character. It is not like I don't care about him anymore. It is just that I believe it could've been better.

I don't deny he was impressive, problem is that he was previously portrayed as someone who can deal with any situation on his own. Well, until it was shown numerous times that he can't. It was not a surprise. But, obviously, knowing that there were things above his level was one thing, it being confirmed was another thing.

And I agree, the more character appears, more likely it is new things will be revealed about him. But I would have prefered if something else was revealed such as his long named Jutsu and not long Jutsu naming of those Jutsu.

 

[Nagi]

I won't lie. I had some high ass expectations for Minato. Turned out he was just an average ass ninja with some of the best teachers and his master degree thesis was "Art of FTG" and "Chakra bomb" aka rasengan.

I feel like Kakashi could've reached that level if he had all the same teachers and access to the same resources as him.

Minato was cool until he was revived.

Then we learned that he actually stole his entire fighting style from Tobirama, and even basically copied Rasengan from a TBB.

Right!!

 

[Omar19992010]

Well considering the fact he saved the entire SA a couple times and was one of the main contributors to Obito's defeat.

My respect grew for him more.

 

[NarutoX28]

Not really. Most of the time, his feats with FTG was overshadowed by Tobirama's own feats as he managed to tag Juubito multiple times whereas Minato couldn't do a thing even with his new enhancements.

 

[Tantalus Thief]

I liked him more. Because we saw more of what he is capable of and I liked the moments between him and Naruto

 

[WalksInShadows]

my opinion of him had hit a complete 180. Despite the amount of times he might have looked bad in the 4th Great Shinobi War, the guy has probably become the Hokage i like the most, especially because he tended to take blame that didn't belong to him. At any other time, i would've believed that the things Jiraiya had to say about him was all hype. I was more than happy to have been proven wrong.
