Minato is actually weaker than a lot of Naruto Characters.

[veejay]

Minato is not considered strong because of flashy (no pun intended) techniques, but because of his skill and intellect. He instead defeats his opponent with strategy and the FTG, and luckily, most people he faces are not immune to having their throat slit He doesn't go flying around destroying buildings and smashing rocks, but it only took him a few panels to make A and Kirabi his b!tches. He's also, to date, the only person to really hurt Tobi without dying or taking damage at that.

Of course, Minato has a great defense against large scale attacks due to his skill with Space Time barriers and such. He also has sealing jutsu. It just goes to show...big explosions and surreal jutsu are not always necessary to be dangerous.

I totally agree couldnt say it any better

 

[narutodrama]

Some fact's about Minato that say that he is one of the strongest ninjas.

- FTG with the help of a special seal he can transport instantly through time and space (not possible to counter it)

- Raw speed: He has a very fast raw speed not just with movements but also with performing jutsus incredibly fast (Tobi vs Minato he made a rasengan in split of a second)

- Rasengan an move inspired by the Biju Dama (the probably strongest raw power jutsu ever), this move has a great chance to kill with a single blow, people that managed to survive it had super human powers in healing it's body

- Odama Rasengan (aka giant rasengan) i think he mastered this jutsu basicly with this he can attack people with strong defensive abilities like Gaara or attack big targets

- He was a master of Shadow clone and Shuriken shadow clones that he could infuse with natural chackra 100 of them had explosive and high cut potential.

- Seals, he had the full knowledge of the Uzumaki sealing techs and as it is well know the Uzumaki are the best sealing masters on the world (he managed to FTG a Biju Dama bomb far away from Konoha that attack had the power to wipe out a whole city)


- He is the type of a ninja that is an elite at using 2 different natural affinities

I am guessing that Wind was one of them.

- He had a contract with one of the best summoning animals the frogs he could summon gamabunta and co.

- His intellect and smartness surpasses most ninjas, he is proven to develop very effective strategies on the battlefields in seconds and the ability to find and exploit enemies weaknesses in short time.


Add to that that he was the youngest Kage ever (before gaara), and that he died at a very young age probably mid 20's he has not reached his full potential yet

 

[veejay]

if he can kill anyone, then he should have killed the people he did face (tobi, A, B). but granted, he wasnt in his prime.

How do you expect him to kill Tobi he ran away like a bitch and he had to save the village and the Rakaige and B he let live so it wouldnt start another war he could have killed them if he wanted to

 

[SkunkeN]

He probably got a lot more than Kishi has showed. He became the Hokage after all

 

[veejay]

Tobi would like to have a few words with you

So many things wrong with your post it's comical.For one, how many shinobis have you seen counter Minato's rasengan? Not naruto's, not Jiraiya's, but Minato's rasengan? Tobi was nearly killed and probably only survive thanks to his S/T jutsu and having the first hokage's cells. As for Rasengan being uselesss against Edo madara, why would minato need rasengan? Minato is the best sealing jutsu users shown in the series and he is the fastest shinobi, so wouldn't the logical point of attack would be to seal Edo madara? The same for Orochimaru who is a soul attached to a body.If minato seals him, it's over.As for Sage Mode Kabuto, how exactly will he hit minato? Does sage mode Kabuto have a S/T jutsu I don't know about? Or do you think Kabuto will just heal himself so much Minato will pass out from witnessing too much of the sheer awesomeness of his healing ability?

well put

Very true!

 

[XxNaruto10xX]

True but Minato died young because he saved the village if he would had lived he would had become even more stronger and still who knows we might get fillers on how he became hokage

 

[blazekev90]

I agree with this thread 100%

Minato had a great feat (ftg), but there are ways around it.

there are a list the could defeat him;
Kabuto
Naruto (current)
Itachi
Nagato
1st Hokage
3rd Raikage
Orochimaru
Muu
Onoki
Kisame (maybe)

 

[XxNaruto10xX]

minato fought a and b at the same time
and let them both live wtf are you talking about??????????

lol

I don't think onoki, muu, kisame, itachi and kabuto or Oro can beat minato since jiraya is stronger than kisame and itachi since it was point taken since both fled when jiraya saved naruto, onoki and muu nah oro is on par or less with jiraya and minato was stronger so i think Oro cant beat him and kabuto i don't think so.

1st and 3rd hokage i think they can or maybe not Naruto at current maybe and nagato would put up a fight.

Horrible logic, but I'll let you believe that.

Sure the yellow flash is one of the fastest shinobis in Narutoverse. However, what he really lacks is a powerful move. So far from what we've seen the strongest weapons in his arsenal are his kunai and the rasengan. Meaning he can get behind his opponent in the blink of an eye and stab 'em with his kunai. This might be quite effective against some of the characters in Naruto. However, this puts Minato in a bad spot against the top tier naruto characters such as the kages, akatsuki members like orochimaru, itachi, pain and Madara Uchiha and Even Biiju Naruto. Rasengan, as we have seen, has been countered thousands of times in naruto. There are so many characters that can simply withstand it. For example, orochimaru can easily withstand a kunai attack or a rasengan thanks to his regenerative abilities. Minato can keep chopping him off all day but he will just keep coming out of his shells. Sage Kabuto is another character that will annihilate minato in terms of feats. Minato can rasengan him all day but he will just keep healing himself. Ninjutsu is useless against edo madara so minato will have to take him down with power moves. The problem is minato doesn't have any. Like he doesn't have any moves that will break the susanoo. Strength is a feat he seems to lack as well. Now I have no doubt in Minato's superior intellect and I can guarantee he will find a way to score a direct hit on any opponent. The only problem is that hit may not be enough to finish off some of the top rank shinobies. And that makes minato a weak match against them. Sure minato can defeat kakashi and the jonins of leaf village and even jiraiya(because he died cause of the chakra rod stab wound from pain minato can stab him too even in sage mode) with his speed. But against some characters with high defenses, hes just useless. Its a shame he had to die so early cause I am sure he would of perfected his rasengan and chakra affinity if he lived but the fact remains, Minato does not have a high power ninja move.

i dis agree being so fast he can actually kill almost every ninja in a fight
and he is hard to take down cuz he can easily run away
also he appeared only for a very short time so i think there are a lot of things hidden in his sleeves

You said you are tired of arguing. I see that you dont have a point to argue. You just kept repeating over over and over. You are basically sitting in your own dirt with your ear closed. I dont think u r based on the Manga or the Anime. You are based on the games that came out. The games ruined Minato.

You are comparing with a half developed game to a fully developed game. If you want answers, ask Kish, he will give u ALL the answers u need. Arguing on here is pointless.

Plenty have been ignored. The top ones are-
1 Sealing Jutsu (many varieties)
2 Space-time jutsu apart from him teleporting himself only based on marks. eg he teleported tailed beast bomb &even the 9-tails.


Don't rank him below Oro as the third himself agreed him to be superior in front of Anko in early episode and he is actually.

But he still was able to outdue Tobi and the 9-tails.. :flaw:

Brute power is what alot of the characters u mention, have, and Minato doesnt have that besides Rasingan. What he lacks in he makes up for it with his speed, intelligence, and timing. Can you kill something you cant touch? Im Notta Minato Fanboy but still Minato's not weak. There's are reason he was Hokage, and that he died sacrificing his body for the village than the Third hokage.

Did u forget about his sealing technique ???? :sy::flaw: The best ever sealer among naruto character's... His speed + sealing tech which can make enemy stun..

Against oro -> i have some hope in Minato that he could seal away his regeneration stuffs....

u talked a lot about finishing move, he might lack in strength but sealing is more than enough to finish anyone... and more over we havent seen more about his abilities , so still its mysterious so dont brand him as weak lol i totally dis agree....... :scorps:

 

[HG Swells]

Some fact's about Minato that say that he is one of the strongest ninjas.

- FTG with the help of a special seal he can transport instantly through time and space (not possible to counter it)

- Raw speed: He has a very fast raw speed not just with movements but also with performing jutsus incredibly fast (Tobi vs Minato he made a rasengan in split of a second)

- Rasengan an move inspired by the Biju Dama (the probably strongest raw power jutsu ever), this move has a great chance to kill with a single blow, people that managed to survive it had super human powers in healing it's body

- Odama Rasengan (aka giant rasengan) i think he mastered this jutsu basicly with this he can attack people with strong defensive abilities like Gaara or attack big targets

- He was a master of Shadow clone and Shuriken shadow clones that he could infuse with natural chackra 100 of them had explosive and high cut potential.

- Seals, he had the full knowledge of the Uzumaki sealing techs and as it is well know the Uzumaki are the best sealing masters on the world (he managed to FTG a Biju Dama bomb far away from Konoha that attack had the power to wipe out a whole city)


- He is the type of a ninja that is an elite at using 2 different natural affinities

I am guessing that Wind was one of them.

- He had a contract with one of the best summoning animals the frogs he could summon gamabunta and co.

- His intellect and smartness surpasses most ninjas, he is proven to develop very effective strategies on the battlefields in seconds and the ability to find and exploit enemies weaknesses in short time.


Add to that that he was the youngest Kage ever (before gaara), and that he died at a very young age probably mid 20's he has not reached his full potential yet

Alright, I can understand all but the bolded. Where was it said that Minato was a master of Shadow Clones/Shadow Shurikens or that he had two natures? And didn't Kushina say she taught him some sealing techniques, not "full knowledge"?
