It seems you didn't understand what Shaneey meant (and I fully agree with him)... That Tobirama is a *****ng beast doesn't make Zabuza a fodder... I mean, Zabuza is fodder COMPARED to tobirama, but on a general ranking of the NV he's pretty high, the guy went toe to toe with Kakashi, who even in part 1 was aknlowledged as a very dangerous shinobi... So, Zabuza is not fodder, he's a high jonnin shinobi, the problem is that "high jonnin" is nothing compared to Kage levels and Bijuu levels that are the current main characters...
