1)Kakashi said that Minato wanted to add his element to rasengan. That implies that he had an element.
2)He was a kage, and it was stated that ninjas usually have 2 elements by the time they are jounins.That also means that he must have had an element.
3)Just because his techniques didn't need an element it doesn't mean he didn't have one.
4)You say his age is uncertain, but actually he was 22 when he died.
Period.
Agreed *****

minato doesnt have to have any elements in order to use s/t jutsu, he couldve spent his life learning s/t jutsu rather than learn an element....just saying

I completely agree with this...I am merely speculating as fsr as his element goes...he could easily just have Fuinjutsu, Space and Time Jutsu, and Rasengan.

ok wasnt sure about his age

guy proves that a jounin or kage level ninja doesnt have to have elements

kakashi said minato WANTED to add a element to rasengan that doesnt mean minato was GOING to do it because he probably couldnt

remember naruto WANTED to learn chidori from kakashi? (not sure if this is from manga or anime lol) but that doesnt mean he was GOING to do it because he cant

naruto also asked kakashi about the 5 elements and that doesnt mean naruto will have them all

ftg isnt even lightning IMO

its a yellow flash and thats how he got the name yellow flash

False. Yellow (his hair) and Flash (his S/T). Those two things make him the Yellow Flash. If he had Red hair, he could've been called the Red Flash.

I don't see how cutting Kirabi's tentacle indicates a Wind chakra nature. U_U

Some say that it'd be hard to cut the tentacle. They also speculate he could be ause he has Wind or the Kunai's shape/density was different than normal, or both.

Kakashi said he wanted to add his element into rasengan. Just this sentence is a proof that he did have an element. I believe it was wind element since he wanted to cut Raikage in half despite his lightning armour, which means he probably added wind element on his kunai, and it's for that reason that it created that crater besides cuting Hachibi's limb later. It's even probable that he had at least 2elements since Kakashi said that usually jounins have 2elements and i suppose he knew his master well

Tsunade also doesn't shown any elements but her grandfather could use earth and water probably...

Seeing that Minato couldn't perfect his rasengan like Naruto makes me feel that it's not futon surely.(He's a genius, and it's not fair tbh seeing Naruto can but he can't).

Calling him the yellow flash, so why not raiton. There aren't many raiton techs anyway so it's possible, lol... w/e.

Or Water/Earth.

Why can't Naruto learn it? If he trained himself to learn Lightning, then he could. He CAN do it, just Kishi won't allow him.

people assume minato is wind.

first of all, i think its fair to assume that minato is aware that wind > lightning

otherwise a kunai in the back of a lightning shrouded Ay would be pointless

next look at the amount of cutting damage done to Bee's tentacle in the spoiler. its an unusually large slice for such a small kunai (again hinting at wind nature)


officially we dont know his elemental affinity. this is just a theory

Kakashi said that Minato died before he could pair his element to rasengan. that irrefutably proves he had one.

nagato was never shown using a single element, but jiraiya said he had mastered all 5 by age ten. the thing is him and minato had ninjutsu which supercedes elemental ninjutsu. minato's style is geared towards speed, and as such he doesn't use many seals apart from summoning and s/t barrier. an elemental jutsu takes time, and it would probably not be of rasengan's level, and consume more chakra. his style is basically centered around his most efficient and effective techniques. naruto knows wind element, but apart from rasenshuriken he has never used a wind jutsu as far as i know

give his name, he probably had two; wind and water.

you're assuming he has an element

naruto doesnt have lightning element, just because you train doesnt mean you will unlock an element, you have to have it in your dna unless you get rinnegan

Just as Kakashi he doesn't have clan. Yet his family was "famous". If he is truly a genius and had wind element but because of Kuuybi Naruto happened to complete his rasengan this is just sad. Well at least his rasengan was bigger and enough to end some fights.

well, naruto used the clone method to train- that means he trained for an equivalent of 4 years to get rasenshuriken i think. Minato had to develop rasengan from scratch and it took him 3 years, he just didn't have the stamina to use naruto's shortcut, both to train and to perform the actual technique. Minato's rasengan is significantly more powerful than Naruto's and he can create it faster and with one hand, so it is significantly superior. Naruto just has better stamina and as such can work around that difficulty by spamming clones.

minato might not have an element at all, he might be like guy and rock lee (in a way)

NONE of his abilities/jutsus require an element, he uses s/t jutsu (ftg) which is basically seals used to allow him to teleport and rasengan which is made up of nothing but pure chakra spinning in his hand

he can also uses the seal techniques that kushina taught him, we havent seen thsse jutsus but i doubt they will require an element either since he have never shown elements before

even in battle he kills people with a kunai or rasengan, he never showed any elements

minato's age in unclear but he was still in the process of completing rasengan and possibly any other jutsu he couldve been working on when he died. He didnt get the chance to add an element to rasengan if he could, like naruto did

if minato had completed the rasengan, i dont think he was gonna add an element, i think he was gonna just make a bigger rasengan or one that just had more power or a different shape to it.

and then he has reaper death seal, once again a seal and no element
Oh yeah well...

I disagree. Strongly. I also have evidence to prove once and for all that...

...Minato has an element.

^ Kakashi hints that Minato had an element because he said that himself and his master couldn't combine elements with the Rasengan.

Just because it never shows Minato using an element in the manga doesn't mean he does not have one. Minato has one.

Open and shut case.

this means nothing BECAUSE remember when naruto started trying to train for rasenshuriken?? naruto didnt have an element at first yet he was trying to make a new rasengan, maybe minato was on that stage

there is no proof that minato 100% has an element, at least not yet

minato never showed or talked about an element so we can only assume

It was said that was the reason for creating rasengan in the first place was to add his element. It proved difficult not impossible. Naruto didnt know his element b4 the leaf test. If he didnt have an element, it would have been impossible to try to add his element, not prove difficult!
You just have to read between the lines. Naruto always had element, just that he didnt know what it was!

are you stupid?

"Rasengan was originally a jutsu that the Fourth Hokage had developed with the intention of combing his own Elemental Recompostion skills with"

minato created the rasengan and also intended to add his elemental affinity to it. if he didnt have an element, why would he created a jutsu with the INTENTION TO ADD HIS ELEMENT TO IT?



..even in the face of clear facts people still want to be 'right' instead of accepting the truth :sy:
