How Strong Really Was Minato?

[Itachi Edo]

Is his strength overrated or vastly underrated? An objective look might surprise you!

For a guy who did not have any KKG,Rikudo power or Bijuu he is pretty strong.I am talking about alive Minato.

 

[Demonic.]

Dude lacks firepower, but he still solos with his speed and techniques.

That's the whole point of the video. Non Edo Minato had boss feats when you break down what he did, particularly the night he died.

Agree

 

[ahmo]

he was just strong, yes......but that strength was greatly amplified by genius level intelect

Well he fought against both A and Bee multiple times and left Bee with a pretty big impression by the fact that Bee trembled at the mention of him. A Kage and Jounin/Kage base (Kage+ with Bijuu power) against only Minato who stated he rarely used SM so Base Minato is at least a level above Kage level and higher with SM which is about the same as Pein arc Naruto (they both needed time to mold the chakra and SM didn't last long). Had he lived to the War arc I see him surpassing Prime Hiruzen who was stated to be the strongest Hokage.

 

[Dantee]

Strong enough to be hokage.

 

[Gerkak]

He was strong for a non rikudo guy. But his lack of strong offensive techniques gives him a lower ranking

 

[Berner]

kid itachi level

 

[Beatrix]

Strong enough that Plot-no-Jutsu demanded he loose both his arms to cap him at a reasonable level to fight alongside.... everyone else.

Alive? I reckon he was pretty badass. Terrifying for the Iwa-nin who never saw death coming. I prefer his style over say... Naruto's. More efficient.

It's not that I think he was incapable of using high-level flashy ninjutsu techniques - it's just, with what he had (speed/FTG/intelligence) he never had to.

Should keep in mind that he didn't have a blood limit - or some bullshit clan legacy... or clan techniques. I appareciate that.

yes! Minato put a lot of people to shame, because he tried to end fights quickly by being efficient.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

His teleportation techniques and intelligence alone made him like a shikamaru 2.0 with better jutsu

 

[Umari Senju]

Minato is one of those examples where it's not all about how powerful you are. what I mean is none of his techniques were truly overpowered aside Flying Thunder God. He didn't have any mountain busting techniques, or bijuu to add extra power to his ninjutsu (alive Minato that his)

No Kekkei Genkai
No illustrious clan name
No Bijuu (when alive)
Not a Transmigrate

But his skill and speed put him in the top tier before the Rikudo levels started showing up. So Basically Minato's strength was derived from pure skill, intellect, and experience.

 

[YellowFang]

If you aren't into giant energy balls and and godlike stuff, then definitely Minato showed real promising potential...

 

[Gold Lightning]

Stopped watching the video the moment the person said minatos character was ruined because he was "one shotted" by madara on "several occassions", which really "weakened the perception of his character."

Like wtf, when was he one shotted on several occasions. And i dont get how a juubi jinchuuriki being stronger than you makes you look weaker? But then we look at the likes of hashirama, tobirama, sm naruto and ems sasuke who were all defeated by a version of madara that was nowhere close to juubi level.

 

[DHOH]

Minato is a strong character but the revelation of Tobirama crushed his character.. Crush his character so much that he not only became a carbon copy of Tobirama, he also be came a carbon copy of his son Naruto.

His best jutsu, he stole it..
Jiraiya praise him, but why? Yes he was smart and he created the resengan... Other than that, he was ordinary.

You cant be a copy of someone when you possessed all those things before that person. Naruto is a copy of his father, which makes sense as most father and son in this manga are copies of each other(4th raikage is copy of 3rd raikage, gai is a copy of dai, shikmaru is a copy of his father, gaara is a copy of his father etc). You might as well say naruto is a copy of jiraya too, since shadow clones, rasengan, senjutsu and toad summons were all his before naruto learned them. Minato also had shadow clones, rasengan, senjutsu, toad summonings and even the kyuubi..all before naruto did.

Tobirama didnt crush his character, what fail logic are you trying to use now.

 

[Dark Sonic]

His Hiraishin is superior to Tobirama. Dude is stronk
