His attacks get redirected easily by ninjas like Minato.

minato used space time ninjutsu, what do you expect to happen? Not too mention not many shinobi have S/T.
Lol so from all what i've said, you only noticed that sentence? Lmao

The Juubi doesn't have the 9 tails or 8 tails, so it is considerably weaker. It is also not in its final transformation !!
You have a point here

just think ofit this way: rinnegan+juubi`s chakra equals invincibility....he could probably absorb any ninjutsu in a half a second with preta path and probably didnt even have an interval between shinra tenseis that could most probably destroy an entire nation.......taijutsu cant hurt him,ninjutsu cant hurt him...as for genjutsu juubi takes care of it....

the best thing of all.....creation of all things....he could make his dream,fantasy a reality....he can imagine that he is like superman and he will become like superman.

The Sage was able to split up the Jūbi into ten entities, and then use the Chibaku Tensei, making it as large as the moon, while he was on his death bed. Now imagine that guy in his prime, with the power of the Jūbi sealed in himself, and the things he'd be capable of doing with the power of the Rinnegan.

Yes he was the strongest character, don't misread my title, but i don't think he was that far above the strongest characters we see currently. Before we thought he was too strong because he defeated a mysterious "god" called the Juubi, but so far since the Juubi got revived, he was disappointing to me. Incapable to kill even fodders with his strongest attacks. His attacks get redirected easily by ninjas like Minato. More than that, he gets blocked or sealed easily by the 4previous Hokages. Not saying that the sealing will succeed(it won't since Juubi still has one transformation left according to Hachibi), but you can't deny the fact that for a supposed "god", he is disappointing so far

What did the Juubi actually do since his revival that was impressive? So the feat of defeating/sealing the Juubi doesn't seem to be that impressive anymore. Not saying it's unimpressive, but not like before. Now it seems that ninjas like Madara, Hashirama are closer to the Sage than we originally thought(well at least when we compare to the Sage before he actually became Juubi's Jinchuriki)

Thoughts?

Kinda true btw what da heck did you mean Ninjas like Minato????

I agree...
Sage was as strong as E.Madara & E.Hashirama combined IMO...

Also, I m expecting a lot more from the final transformation of Juubi.....

The Hokages are Edos, meaning that they have unlimited chakra. If Minato were in his living body when he re-directed that TBB, I guarantee that he would be panting right now from the sheer chakra needed to do it.

As for the Sage and the Juubi, remember that, from what we know so far, the Sage fought the Juubi alone. Here, it's a bunch of zombies and a few others (Naruto, B, etc.) fighting. The Juubi reached its present form only a few chapters back. Before that, it was in an even weaker form. It's only natural that it's not as impressive. It's still been kicking ass, though. Also, I think it's important to remember that it's missing Gyuki and Kurama, who also happen to be the strongest of the nine bijuu.

He had the power to seal the Ten-Tails. If that wasn't enough, he created the moon at his weakest state.

Well I mean yea ofcorse more modern ninja would seem like they are having an easier time with the juubi than the Sage did. For one, that's an entire ninja army, and the Sage was still only one man.

Secondly, that was 100s of years ago supposedly. Jutsu back then was primitive compared to everything that has been invented now. That red seal thing the 4 hokages used probably didn't exist back then. What the alliance lacks in strength they surely make up for in both numbers and more advanced jutsu techniques that weren't around duing the Sage's time

And thirdly, you said it yourself, the juubi isn't even fininshed transforming. You aren't supposed to be impressed with him yet. The Sage fought the final transformed Juubi, so in comparison to that the juubi we've seen so far is supposed to be lackluster. Just be patient

I second this.

Bro the only claim to call the sage out of the reach of Edo Madara and Hashirama and etc is his so called feat of creating the moon. Which people compare to the real moon. However by that logic.

1/4th of the earth should be destroyed and there should be a big creator. and not to forgot it would've caused volcanoes to erupt around the world and so on.

Juubi isn't even in full form yet and so far, the the entire ninja world is having trouble defeating it.

Its kinda on a locked down.. and can't do shit at the moment..... and that was all due to 1 jutsu....

Did madara cause huge craters in the earth from spawning two meteors?

The Rikudō was unable to kill the full Jūbi and had to resort to sealing it instead; but as portrayed he returned from the battle without severed limbs or any life threatening injuries, meaning that he survived/evaded/ countered it's Biju-dama and other attacks like Ten-Pen-chii and the possibility of it's Dōjutsu being functional in that state....which leaves the question...

How many [alive] shinobi are able to conduct such a feat?
