them to be beatable?Itachi's illness,Orochirmaru's missing arms,Nagato being a cripple,Sasori being brought back in a human body and without his puppets,Obito having his Kamui taken away after becoming the Juubi's jinchuriki,Madara being lazy and not doing anything other than trying to fight Hashirama.

All of these characters were very dangerous and it feels cheap when they are defeated because they could'nt fight at full capacity,it would make their defeats feel more satisfying if the good guys won because they were just stronger and not because their enemy had some sort of handicap.

Thoughts?

Sasori was a human so it's totally logical he got brought back a human...

I agree, it's actually kind of annoying that antagonists are always being nerfed so the protagonists stand a chance. Sasori being brought back without any puppets is just trolling at its finest.

The flaw of a puppet master, you need prep to be really badass

Not really, though. Nagato was crippled in real life, and he was crippled as an Edo.

OT: I think the blame really lies in the fact that Kishi made them out to be so powerful at first that he had to quickly scramble to nerf them somehow.

Yeah,but the guy did'nt even have his puppets.Not to mention Edo Tensei revives the person exactly as they were when they died so Sasori should have been revived in his puppet body.

Don't forget Deva's powers not working at first during Naruto VS Pain....and how he conveniently forgot he can summon Gedo Mazo.

But Nagato was crippled in his human state too, Sasori got brought back to his human state

ACTUALLY you just need your Damn puppet scrolls.

Since he was a puppet person st death, all of his puppets were still in the body Kankuro took.




Ironic you mention prep time since it took prep time plus knowing almost every move before hand to even best Sasori... Except even then Jr chose to die.



Knowing how to utilize your puppets makes you a badass.






OT: It's happened from the start. Zabuza went from playing evenly with Kakashi to getting shit on.

Kakuzu went from wrecking to getting screwed by Hidan to getting completely plotted by Naruto.


It happens all the time to the point I expect it. It's sad they didn't make the fights more drawn out to show the full power of each member, but Kishi just didn't care to keep Akatsuki around in part II.

Lol the bait worked I see.
But he need to prepare the scroll puppet thingy and get them, prep.
Im am speaking from an Edo point of view
He needs his puppets to be the badass he was in Sakuriyo Vs Sasori
Unless he has a able body at his disposal
Naaa, sasori is badass without puppet.
You must be registered for see images

He gets solo'd by his own jutsu though. Wait Sasori uses guns now ?
