Is Kabuto on par with Hashirama as of Chapter 520, with Edos and prep?

^ Based off this thread from Comicvine. It's actually what prompted me to come back.^

I say nay, and I'm curious to hear what fans from an actual Naruto site have to say.

I think it's clearly a Curbstomp in Hashirama's favor, but hey, maybe I've been away from Naruto too long.

I just don't get the point of including edo tensei in a 1 v 1. Hashi could kill Kabuto, and the edos stick around anyways. All he has to do is summon an army, and wear Hashi out. That's the lamest "1 v 1" imaginable.

Edo Madara is superior to Hashirama, so Kabuto > Hashirama.

Edo Rama with Rods in him defeated Edo Madz
No evidence that Madara went out, it was a part of his plan perhaps as when he came back the rods that were in Hashirama that he planted prevented Hashi from moving for the Sm swap, in essence not a true test of strength, he needed him alive.

No, the only zombie that makes a difference is Edo Madara, and Hashirama already defeated him in canon, not to mention that it wasn't even full-powered, alive Hashirama. DSM Kabuto himself is crushed in Jukai Coutan.

Hashirama never defeated edo Madara at best that fight was inconclusive.

Edo Madara via manga facts is stronger than his "prime" aka his Ems self, who was damn near Hashirama, so.....

Comicvine isn't a good place to go for anime debates.

Hashirama stomps kabuto

I don't think Edos count. Especially Edo Madara. It's like saying Hiruzen vs Orochimaru was 1 vs 1 inside the barrier when he summoned the Senju Bros--it really wasn't 1 vs 1.
Truely 1 vs 1 Hashi wins.

Dsm kabuto wins.

I'm not seeing how he loses. With prep time he's sure as hell not losing to Sm Hashirama.

I mean edo madara, with edo akatsuki, and edo kages is overwhelmingly more than enough.

I can think of a handful of people who'll be that stupid (wanking) enough to say that he beats that whole entire arsenal.

Hashirama was an Edo Tensei. Meaning, he wasn't at full power and never showed the capacity to even use Shinsuusenju.

You do realize Naruto KCM clones were stomping the Edos, right?

With the edo army Kabuto can pull it off. His only hopes are Edo Madara and Edo nagato, while using the other ones as distractions.

Kabuto has his chances against base Hashirama, but after looking further at some of his abilities, SM Hashirama undoubtedly wins.

You do realize that kcm naruto did not stomp edo madara, edo akatsuki, and all the other kages (besides 3rd Raikage) all at the same, right?

There is no way in hell that Sm Hashirama is "stomping" all of them.

Gimped Hashirama=Edo Madara>>>Every other Edo Zombie. The only Edos Hashi has to worry about are:

-Madara, but he can't match SS.
-Nagato due to CT and CST, both of which won't do anything serious to Mokujin or SS.
-Mu due to invisibility.

Almost forgot about Kabuto himself, who still can't do anything to trouble Hashirama except the easily countered Genjutsu and White Rage.

Everyone else is fodder. Gengetsu would make the cut of people to be worried about if his Genjutsu wasn't easily countered by widespread attacks (that both sides will be throwing at each other, and there's no evidence his team won't be affected too) Someone tell me what they do when SS's fists are coming crashing down on them and then we can talk about Kabuto being stronger.

So pray tell, what's stopping a giant forest world genjutsu from one-shotting them?
