How does hiruzen stop the genjutsu?
Hiruzen couldn't even dispel Fodder Hashirama's Bringer of Darkness without resorting to RDS. There's no way he's getting past Clam Genjutsu.
Gengetsu wins.
Enough with this crappy counter, that I hear from you every time Hiruzen match up's encounter genjutsu. Not only is it irrelevant to the match up, since no one isn't even arguing on dispelling with "Kai", but it also completely ignores Hiruzen's situation he was in, that couldn't have him defeat Hashirama genjutsu in the first place. Plus the fact that your making stuff up, that nothing even implies Hashirama's genjutsu was fodder.
Bringer of Darkness isn't fodder Genjutsu, but P1 Edo Hashirama was fodder, so the effect of his Genjutsu was fodder-level as well. There's no discussing that.
If he could, he would've dispeled BoR the moment Hashirama used it, but he couldn't. Which clearly shows how pathetic Hiruzen is when it comes to Genjutsu.
One may argue that Hiruzen's sense of smell may be helpful here, but the moment Hiruzen is caught in Genjutsu, it's not going to be him on the offense but Gengetsu.
Its not a discussing base on the fact that you made that claim up. P1 Edo Hashirama was Kage level, fact. You have no proof that they're other levels of BoD's on use. No discussion.
Not when your premise/reason on why Hiruzen couldn't break, which is false and not base on manga. DB gave Hiruzen a perfect score of Genjutsu so once again nothing you are saying is even close to being supported by manga. Plus it has been implied many times that Hiruzen's aged nerfed him.
So? That's what clones are for. Regardless, I wasn't even here to argue on Hiruzen or Gengetsu behalf. I just need to address your reasoning thats completely off to give someone a win.
