How did the Minato vs Itachi fanwars start?

[AlphaScythian]

I really dont know how it started. It makes no sense to compare Solo King with some1 like minato.

 

[BenjerminGaye]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

That wasn't the question bakayaro

 

[BenjerminGaye]

It started when minato beat tobi(who was believed to be madara). Beating the strongest uchiha garners a lot of haters and fans. But now since obito was revealed to be tobi minato's hype is downplayed

 

[narutobeta]

Minato will just seal itachi

They are parallels.

- Both sacrificed a great deal for a relative, and ultimately to save the village from destruction.

- Both where highly respected by hiruzen, and others who knew their stories.

- Both gave a gift to the relative they sacrificed themselves for, and those relatives eventually tamed and honed their gifts, which at first caused them pain.

- Both are in their own ways, "true Shinobi".

- Both are Resurrected to serve further purposes in the manga.

- Both consider themselves failures.

- Both prefer tactical fighting instead of overpowering an opponent.

- Both have extremely high intellect.

- Both have a trump card that defeats most of their opponents. (Itachi genjutsu, Minato S/T Jutsu)

They also resemble the leaf's Light and Shadow Metaphor.

Nothing else to add.....!

i just want to point out few things....
1) people say that tobi didn't use all his techs against minato..... i wanna ask ask how do you know minato used all his techs...?
2) if itachi was powerful enough to defeat tobi why didn't he tried to kill him....? off course it can be said to be plot no jutsu.... but by logic it is proved that itachi couldn't have defeated tobi while minato did.....
3) minato was 4th hokage..... do you expect someone to become hokage just because of ftg.....? i don't think so.....
i know they are both uncomparable because both died with their own will.... and both haven't shown full extent of their powers... although i doubt in this respect about itachi coz itachi was revived and has shown all his feats but minato has yet to show us what he can do....

1) Neither used all their techniques, but that isn't required to go all out. Minato was the clear superior. Of course, Obito was a failure the year prior, yet managed to fight Minato on even footing.
2) I'm pretty sure Obito improved in the (at least) 8 years later when Itachi met him. And, I'm also sure the Obito who was around when Itachi died, 16 years after he fought Minato, was even more powerful than that. Even then, Obito said if he hadn't kept a few secrets from Itachi, he would be dead.
3)Yes, considering his skill with it, it can make one a Kage, and in fact it was one of the reasons he was picked. But he didn't become Kage on it alone. It was also because of his intelligence and his love for the village. Also, Itachi has yet to fight all out. Against Kabuto, he couldn't. He had to keep him alive remember?
