I don't see why Minato is bashed so much.

People say that Minato has constantly failed and that he was weak or not interesting. While it is your own opinion on whether or not he's interesting, he is the opposite of a failure. Look at his feats.

1. He saved the whole alliance twice.
2. He was the one who made it possible for the rest of the alliance (besides Naruto and Sasuke) to pull the bijuus out of Obito (which means that Minato was very significant in that chakara tug of war).

3. He saved Naruto and Sasuke multiple times during the fight with 10 tails Obito and he played a crucial role in that fight.

4. Tobirama was able to use Minato's link with Naruto to warp people away from the shinju.

5. Minato defeated whole platoons during the third shinobi world war.
6. He defeated Obito during his attack on Konoha, protected the village and sealed Kurama inside of Naruto (an action that has actually helped Naruto and many other people many times during this series).

He was definitely not a failure.

Now some of the people who bash him call him a failure because he couldn't protect his students.

My response: He wasn't there. He had his own missions. Plus, it was in fact war. Kakashi hasn't always been around Naruto and Sakura for every second during this war. What makes you think that Minato should have been any different?

Besides, it is not his fault that Rin decided to kill herself or that Kakashi got hurt at Kannabi bridge. If anyone is to blame, it would be the students themselves. They should have learned to defend themselves better (especially Rin). Obito and Rin were chuunin and Kakashi was a jonin for goodness sake. The rank of chuunin alone is said to be good enough to lead a team.

In addition, Rin did not have to kill herself. She could have at least tried asking Isobu for help. Had she gone into bijuu mode, she could have beaten those mist ninjas and the problems of this series would not have happened. She did not even try however. It is her own fault.

As for not being able to save Kushina, he could not do anything about that anyway. Kushina would have died from extraction. Therefore it is not Minato's fault.

Conclusion: Minato is at fault for none of this stuff and he has done very important things during both the third and the fourth war.

He is definitely a great character, doesn't deserve the hate he gets. What usually happens is people cannot accept that Itachi the solo king is stronger, so they over-wank Minato, leading to a lot of hate towards him... it's unfortunate :(

Alot of stupid fanboys means alot of haters. It's everywhere(Justin Bieber for ex.-which is a bad example though).
I myself am a Minato fanboy but I use logic in my arguments, not like some ppl claiming Minato could beat Hashirama.

P.S: I do think Minato can beat Itachi, simply because Itachi has almost zero stamina with his EMS ;)

Depends on the circumstances.

Nothing against his feats; i don't think he is weak (hence he is in my top 10) i just find his character boring and not interesting.

Wtf are you talking about? Zero stamina? Lols..I wonder how much stamina he had if he wouldn't have been sick. Btw, he has no EMS.

Minato doesn't deserve bashing, unlike a certain emo ninja who got solo'ed by his own sword.

Sick or not, he used his MS few times too often and lost his eyesight bit by bit. And its kinda true isnt it? Everytime he used his MS he left himself in a severely weakened state.

Wether Minato or Itachi is stronger depends on whom you like more rly. If it were to come to a battle it would depend on the circumstances and plot, as much as all the 'x >>> y' kiddies hate that fact.

In my eyes they both are equally remarkable shinobi and far from beeing a 'failure' in any sense of the word. The only thing that bugs me about these 2 is how the community tends to treat them and abuse them for their own fanboyism, but I guess that was kinda bound to happen...

Not even a proper grasp of English, nothing more than I would expect from DO. ;)

"A style of rock music resembling punk but having more complex arrangements and lyrics that deal with more emotional subjects."

"An admirer of emo music or a member of the subculture associated with it, typically favouring black clothing and long dyed black hair."


Seems your use of language is about as viable as your theories. :)

He's an extremely boring character. However, that didn't really make me hate him, but only made me have a ''neutral'' opinion on him. What made my neutral opinion change into my hate for him is his fanboys who constantly overrate the shit out of him, underrate the living shit out of ''certain'' other characters and shove Minato down our throats.
