How can a guy be considered the strongest when all he has is super speed and Rasengan? I honestly believe Kishi overpowered him to the max.
no kishi didnt do it.... you did..... when did he say he was the strongest? everyone has their own opinion but just becasue anyone says something does not mean it is 100% true

minato was the fastest living ninja in the ninja world and how could u say madara? :flaw: he is the second strongest ninja after sage of six paths.
Super speed and rasengan = unavoidable rasengans which is extremely dangerous.
Wft r u talking, none of this was shown not proven, where is the damn proof!

Minato as a character isnt overrated, rather the fans overrate him. they put him on a god pedestal just because he is fast and have rasengan (that isnt strong btw). i like the character but not the fans. he is good but not even close to being unstoppable! its the fans that most ppl dont like. and im not talking about the normal fans, rather the SUPER NOOB fans that dont even know "naruto". #thatisall im out!

I agree man, everything you said was on point and the fanboys can't comprehend that. He was good, but not the best. He was the (one of) fastest shinobi ever, and was able to teleport. Bein able to teleport alone gives anyone an advantage, especially with having super speed. However, thus doesn't make him the best, how do u come to that conclusion? There have much hype about many other shinobi and he was one of them. He wasn't strong (proof proven otherwise) and knew a few techniques. His speed can be stopped as this has been seen before with other characters (naruto and non-related characters). The reason he gave ppl a problem was basically because he could teleport, but everyone gets caught after a while. He's no superman (lol), he's a combination of flash and nightcrawler (lol) and those two together still don't equal invinciblilty, shyt far from it. And stop giving him abilities, half of y'all are making shyt up (sage-modes, summons, etc) wft where y'all see him do all that!? Lol hop off his guts (n instead of g).

Idk, the main problem is that we did`nt see much of him. We have seen ftg, rasengan and a seal tech. So we cant know his full potential, but I have to ask; how can he be overrated when he became Hokage at such a early age and took the 3th place, Hiruzen Sarutobi place the one Kishi has said to be the strongest ever (not counting so6p)?



His abilities were so far advanced that even the Fourth Raikage, thought no one would be able to surpass him.[4]

For those who want to read on his abilitis (From Naruto wiki) ;

Abilities Edit Abilities sectionEdit

According to Jiraiya, Minato was one of the most gifted shinobi who ever lived. Anko Mitarashi, in discussion with the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's immense strength and his threat to the village, stated that she wished the Fourth had been alive to face him. During the Third Great Shinobi War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy ninjas should they ever see him appear on the battlefield. Minato was also capable of countering the Nine-Tails' attacks to the point Madara himself needed to step in to face him directly. After their battle, Madara commended Minato and stated he was worthy of the title of the Fourth Hokage.[5] His abilities were so far advanced that even the Fourth Raikage, thought no one would be able to surpass him.[4]

Like Tobirama Senju, Minato could also detect the presence of people within an area by simply placing his finger on the ground.[6]
Taijutsu Edit Taijutsu sectionEdit

One of Minato's trademark attributes was his immense speed and seemingly instantaneous reflexes. As a testament to his speed, C compared Minato's reflexes to the Fourth Raikage's when he was using his Lightning Release Armour,[7] though the Raikage admitted that Minato was faster than he was.[8] Even without using his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was fast enough to catch an infant Naruto mid-fall to prevent him from being stabbed by Madara.[9] He could also respond to Madara's Space–Time Migration quickly enough to escape it.[10] When fighting, he often employed his unique kunai, wielding them proficiently and taking advantage of their particular form, which made them even more suitable for close range combat than standard kunai.
Ninjutsu Edit Ninjutsu sectionEdit
Rasengan Edit Rasengan sectionEdit
Minato charging a Rasengan and wielding one of his kunai.

Minato spent three years creating the Rasengan by observing the Tailed Beast Ball. It is the highest level of shape transformation. The technique does not need hand signs, instead using a concentration of spinning chakra in the form of a sphere in the user's palm, which inflicts immense damage to its target on contact. As its creator, Minato had great mastery over the Rasengan, able to form it with one hand and his standard version being slightly larger than the Rasengan used by other characters. The lack of elaborate preparations needed for the Rasengan gave Minato an advantage over other jutsu users in battle; in his fight with Madara, he is able to form a Rasengan right after throwing a marked kunai at his opponent, allowing him to land a devastating blow at Madara immediately after performing the Flying Thunder God Technique. He had intended to combine the Rasengan with his own nature transformation, but the task was too difficult to complete before his untimely death.
Space–Time Ninjutsu Edit Space–Time Ninjutsu sectionEdit
Minato's special kunai.

Minato was famous for his unique space–time technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, which essentially allowed him to teleport to any location with the use of special seals. The jutsu earned him the moniker of Konoha's "Yellow Flash", due to the untraceable speed at which Minato moved when using this technique. By throwing kunai that had the seal attached to them behind enemy lines, Minato could wipe out an entire platoon in the blink of an eye.[11] Minato could teleport to his special kunai even as it travelled through the air.[12] He was also capable of applying the seal to solid surfaces with his bare hand, allowing him to tag opponents and give himself an easy way to track and reach them.[13] He also incorporated this seal formula into Kushina's seal so he could always come to her aid.

For defensive use, Minato was capable of implementing space–time barriers to counter large attacks such as a Tailed Beast Ball, sending the blast to a distant area away from the village.[14] He was also able to teleport the Nine-Tails, which required a large amount of his chakra due to the fox's immense size.[15]
Sealing Techniques Edit Sealing Techniques sectionEdit
The key to the Nine-Tails' seal.

Minato was very knowledgeable in fūinjutsu, partially due to Kushina teaching him some of the Uzumaki clan's unique sealing techniques. He knew the full capabilities of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and was aware that he could not completely seal all of the Nine-Tails' chakra within himself. Minato could also remove an opponent's ability to use the Summoning Technique.[16]

The greatest example of his prowess with fūinjutsu is the seal used on Naruto, placing two Four Symbols Seal to create the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, which would allow small amounts of the Nine-Tails' chakra to leak out and naturally mix with Naruto's own. Minato also sealed some of Kushina's and his own chakra within Naruto so that they could see him when he was older and assist him in dealing with the beast.
Summoning Technique Edit Summoning Technique sectionEdit

In his youth, Jiraiya taught Minato how to use the Summoning Technique to summon toads. He had large chakra reserves as he was able to summon Gamabunta and was one of the few people that Gamabunta would willingly cooperate with. He could use the Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique for a devastating surprise attack that could even pin powerful large targets like the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Intelligence Edit Intelligence sectionEdit

Minato was shown to be very intuitive and clever from a young age. Of the many ninja sent out to save Kushina from her Kumogakure kidnappers, Minato was the only one to notice the trail of hair she was leaving. After seeing a technique once, he could correctly deduce the basic mechanics behind it, such as the strengths and weaknesses of Kakashi's Chidori. During difficult events, he was still capable of maintaining his composure, assessing the situation, and devising appropriate plans of action.

Ok the second part was kind of a pushover but the first part is 100% true because he was the fastest ninja to walk ever. the raikage was the fastest current ninja and claimed that he though no one would ever surpass him! surpass meaning surpass not as in just speed but generally in a battle. Minato was not on par

I couldn't agree more. You and Draegod hit the nail on the head.

He never bothered to read the manga and simply missed Minato's hand seal, his dimentional barrier and a lot of things..

Funny thing that many of people would be found complaining that Kishi is not giving more detailed attention to cannon fodder characters like 100 IWRs.. yet we are not able to keep track of all those already in the manga!
