Does it kind of bother you sometimes when you would talk about a character being stronger than another character or compare characters' strengths and then someone would shut you down claiming that character to be fodder when that character is clearly not?

For example, some say Asuma is a fodder, however he possesses two natures and has a 32.5 for feats in the databook. He is tied for the 3rd highest databook stats in Akatsuki right behind Itachi and Sasori.

Another is Sakura, I mean I wouldn't call her fodder because she has actually shown the ability to beat out most Chuunin. She's not one of those Chuunin who just use a kunai, she actually possesses immense strength, intelligence, and Medical Ninjutsu.

Zabuza is another great example, just because he lost to Part 1 Kakashi makes him a fodder? Kakashi even without Mangekyo Byakugan still was really strong, strong enough even for Orochimaru to acknowledge him and Zabuza gave him a run for his Makeout Paradise book.

And Tenten is not fodde- eh who am I kidding.

Thoughts?

Kakashi, Sannin, and Hiruzen have higher stats than Asuma. But he is underrated though. Another one that you mention is cough Hiruzen cough. Agree about Zabuza

There's not really much weight to the word anymore, it's just something people toss at their least favorite characters now a days. There seems to be a mixed interpretation of what being "fodder" actually means too.

Wow, didn't know Asuma had such a high databook rating - go Asuma. It depends on who you are talking to. Some people only want dragon ball Z type battles with flashy jutsu and explosions. To them fodder is someone that can't give them that, which is 98% of the narutoverse. If you talk to other people that pay attention to more then just the battles they would say that everyone that actually has a plot purpose is automatically not fodder.

Its just a matter of opinion, if someone doesn't like a character because they can't make the screen go BOOM they will call them fodder. But that same person is probably semi-retarded or 12. Its also a last resort come back. I can't tell you how many times people have been like "So at least they would last longer then fodder Kiba". I'm like "dude this thread has nothing to do with Kiba"
