Misconception about Mei Terumi's Boil Release.

[Meowazziel]

Overrated? Is that a joke? She one of the most underrated characters! But your right she probably is the weakest kage although I could definitely see her defeating Tsunade although it would very difficult.

Mei has no speed feats and no defensive abilities shown, only offensive. Even if she could somehow keep boil release mist around her, that still wouldnt stop Tsunade during Byakugo.
How can she avoid getting 1hit KO by Tsunade during Byakugo? Tsunade can probably even do it without. Raikage could stomp her low diff too.

Its sad to see how Kishi seems to have forgotten (hopefully not on purpose) Terumi Mei.
She has not even been given any defensive moves (none shown at least) and no speed feats.

It would have been cool if Kishi made her more agile, like sneaking in mist, having descent speed like Zabuza and some silent killing moves or if that wouldnt be her style than some other unique form of fighting. Like covering herself in some water or lava armor or being able to use Houzuki jutsus for example.

Your right...she has no speed feats but she actually has shown defensive abilities and great reaction speed.

If she can keep boil release up, its actually kinda dangerous, even if Tsunade has her byakugo activated - it would just eat up her chakra even more as it would cause a continuous burn. She could keep Tsunade away using the pillar + dragon combo. And its obvious the raikage would defeat her easily but this isnt about him.

I agree with you in that Kishi could have made her more unique but I think she's great as she is. She very versatile - she can use 5 elements. Too bad we just saw her use the same jutsu over and over again.

Btw I think she might have shown a speed feat...

If you look at this first scan...all the kage are together and it looks like they're all pretty far away from Madara.

And then...Tsunade ends up attacking Madara. In the next scan, it looks like Madara was pushed back or jumps back a considerable distance and proceeds to attack Tsunade.

In the below scan, Mei is actually behind Madara/to his side when she uses her water dragon jutsu. So it looks like she crossed a considerable distance (madara was already far away from the kage to begin with but ends up moving further back when attacking Tsunade) in a very short time. The whole thing happened pretty quickly. But I dont know if this would be considered a speed feat.

I agree with tracey. She is far too underrated. Let's look at the feats she has done so far. Firstly, Madara Uchiha said 'he can't let himself get drawn into a technique of that level', about her lava. So actually it is quite powerful and dangerous as even Madara stated it.
Secondly, she is one of the greatest water users. She was able to counter a Uchiha's fire style which are supposedly the best so that shows she is capable defensive wise and also instantly she was able to counter attack with another Water Style. This was done with minimal water around her. Kisame could be better but all of his water moves have been executed with a large amont of water around him e.g. on turtle island with the sea around him.

Its a short and mid range justu she can use it in open areas

The reason she can use hidden mist in open area's is because the mist comes from the water in the automosphrere....
The acid mist thing she creates it there's no acid in automosphrere so it will just evaporate -_-
Everybody should know this
Ppl tend to overrate Mei by far she is the weakest Kage
Seeing as the mist is the weakest village (yes weaker then the Suna witch is not tht weak just kinda poor compared to stone lead and lighting yes it would appear weak)
If she were in any village she would b a mid joinin with flashy abilities at best...

NO.

This is not how evaporation works. I read this whole topic waiting for someone to correct this completely incorrect science. A liquid evaporates when it's vapor pressure is greater then the surrounding pressure. This depends on two factors: the temperature of the liquid in question (increasing it's vapor pressure) and the surrounding pressure (typically ambient, that's why we say water evaporates at 100C.)

Evaporation has nothing to do with the amount of acid currently dissolved in the surrounding air (I'm assuming that's what you mean when you say atmosphere.) If you mean acid dissolved in the 'atmosphere' a mile above the surface of the earth, then sorry but whatever twisted logic is going on in your head is wrong, because acid does exist up there (acid rain ring a bell?) Maybe you think all the acid would dissolve into the oxygen, but given that the acid is in an aqueous form (as far as I can tell) this is just as likely to happen with water.

To the other readers of this topic: don't be so quick to accept pseudo-science as counter-claims. This isn't the first time I've seen blatantly incorrect science used for the justification of some stupid theory on how such and such would work in the naruto universe.
