Is Mifune any good or is his win over Hanzo entirely due to PnJ?

[GiantShuriken]

No one seems to count Mifune among the top guys even though he beat EDO Hanzo who beat the 3 Sannin when they were in their prime age-wise. Even Jiraiya in the present time respected Hanzo greatly. It took Nagato himself to beat Hanzo.

But no one here seems to give Mifune any respect. IS it because you all consider his win over Edo Hanzo to be plot no juts/talk no jutsu?

I couldn't even remember who Mifune was their for a sec.

 

[Narutoisgodly]

is he that samuri guy? i doubt a samuri could beat someone who soloed the 3 sanins

 

[Shikamaru1994]

As if Mifune could beat someone who soloed the three sannins simultaneously and looked almost as if he wasn't even in a fight. I called PnJ right away when I saw that he won.

 

[-Punk-]

do you really think a samurai with no jutsus & nothing more than a sword , could beat hanzo a guy who the sanin could not beat ? hell no
clearly plot no jutsu

1. It was Plot no Jutsu. He fought him in the past, lost, and then gets revenge, reminding him of convictions and blah blah blah.

2. The fight plain-out sucked. It was all Talk no Jutsu with one swing of Mifune's sword.

Probably why it's forgotten.

wait you remembered????

Hanzo didn't beat the Sanin in their prime. They were still fairly young and inexperienced. Regardless, Mifune is a beast, but I wouldn't count him near the top. Perhaps he might rank near the bottom of the top 25-30

Well the idea is that while Mifune trained harder and became stronger, Hanzo slowly degraded himself into a weaker shinobi. This was stated more than once in their fight I believe. However, I don't personally feel that Mifune gets the credit he earned in that fight, or at least not enough credit. From what we know he: blocked a sly trick that Hanzo complimented on (showed kenjutsu abilities), stopped Hanzo from forming any hand seals and whatever jutsu he was about to use (his primary tactic), and both cut through the Salamander's mouth and sliced Hanzo's weapon into 2 (showing the power of his sword and further kenjutsu skills).

Conclusion: Hanzo was an immensely fast and powerful samurai that relied on his sharp sword as his over all power.

Now I feel that most people don't see him in a stronger light because he held the basic "speed and CQC" stereotype. But in truth, being able to stop your opponent from using hand seals can cut their amount of jutsu by a lot depending on what their move set is. What if Hanzo was about to use a trump card, but couldn't specifically because Mifune stopped him? IMO that's his true power along with his already renown sword skills.

wait you remembered????

Good memory I guess. lol

 

[Emp3Ror]

dude they fought for like wht 20-30 sec nd talked the rest of time.........talk-no-jutsu at it's best

 

[Prime Rib]

first off hanzo beat the sannin when he was in his prime, he was older than the sannin by like 5-15 years, next he stop training after he fought them beccause he feared for his safety that he was guraded 24/7, so his skills decreased majorley.

 

[MGX7]

purely PNJ

 

[Draegod]

PNJ at its best.

Remember Hanzou in his prime defeated Mifune in his prime at his own game! No ninja besides maybe bee/sasuke and the 7 swordsman would ever accomplish such a feat of beating mifune with strictly kenjutsu! He is kage level, but with low screen time ppl seem to down play his abilities..

Hanzo: Mifune, this time no mercy!

Mifune: Sorry mate, the author has decided that you are supposed to stab yourself after I deliver some sentimental talk to you.

Hanzo: God dammit...

 

[TheSages456]

there was no plot-no-jutsu in their fight. i hate the classic "lol plot-no-jutsu" excuse. hanzos skills degraded while mifune continued to improve. the extent that hanzos skills degraded were obvious. prime hanzo>>>>edo hanzo.

 

[Stark]

You guys really underestimate Mifune, he is easily Kage level..
