Jiraya > Nagato

[Aya San]

Jiraya can keep his distance and use his frog sound gentjutsu. Remember how Nagato didn't realize what the sound was? Exactly, he'd get soloed.

No CT will be used because that's like a last resort kinda thing, If he doesn't sense his life in danger he wouldn't use it. By then the genjutsu would be ready and GG

 

[CurseSealofEarth]

Nagato wouldn't be as careless as you seem to think he is.

 

[Trolling King]

Without the pains yes. But in the manga he had to die to redeem the rest of the story.
Jiriaya died for this manga so who so ever believed in him would not remember all the bs crap in the rest of it, but be moved by the badassery he gave to us.

 

[HiddenSound]

Sorry, but no.

 

[itachi4real]

Nagato even said if he knew about pain then he would win....jiraiya is that dude

 

[Murasame]

Meh I don't know.. I'm leaning more towards Nagato though. I hope someone knowledgeable on Jiriaya like Bogard gives their input.

 

[ForbiddenUzumaki]

Kishi trolled the power of the Rinnegan hard.

 

[l3m0npl3dg3]

That scenario yes he would but moving variables around like that means he most likely wouldn't be in that situation

 

[Aya San]

The genjutsu did catch him, he only survived because of the paths. Replace that with real Nagato we have a winner

[JUICEMON GENESIS]

Nagato even said if he knew about pain then he would win....jiraiya is that dude

Knew about PAIN! Keyword: "PAIN"

Pain and Nagato are on TOTALLY different levels!

Even if he may beat Pain (which I doubt he could beat all 6 at once), he most definitely couldn't beat Nagato. It would be a tough battle, but Nagato will still win.

Kishi trolled the power of the Rinnegan hard.

I can't even tell you how true that is...

 

[ninja nik]

its a fail.
nagato beat jiraya fair n square.

 

[H a n]

J-Man would have been defeated. Plot no jutsu.

 

[ItachiUchiha2]

What we saw edo Nagato do is what normal Nagato can do without the paths.

 

[awesomeseimei]

Jiraiya would have had more chances against Pain with full intel, that's for sure. But Nagato could have still overwhelmed him.

 

[Avinash012]

If Jman managed to cast Sound Gen on all of 6 paths as u said in OP yes Jman > Pain but But I dont think he can do that..

 

[Bijuu Bomber]

No, Jiraiya'd lose like he always does.

That fodder...

 

[phantomlord22]

jiraiya is one hell of a shinobi
but Nagato is so damn strong

nagato > jiraiya for sure

but keep in mind jiraiya is like minato , he is not from any superior clan and he has no KKG
all he was all about training and he was one of the best In his time and the series

 

[Smd]

Kishi trolled the power of the Rinnegan hard.

Omg yes. He trolled nagato twice, for the storyline

[General PSX360]
