Oro might be the second strongest of the legendary three

[General Lex]

The problem is that we never saw healthy Oro in a battle where he knew he had to give his 100%. On the contrary, J-man fought Nagato and Tsunade fought Madara - they both weren't holding back anything.

True. Also we have to remember that Jiraiya was pretty much in control of the entire pain fight until he was surprised with the other paths.

Orochimaru summons tobirama hiruzen and minato amd its over

lol at the bias on nb
when it comes to Oro "we've never seen him at 100%"
when it comes to Hiruzen "meh he's fodder"

Orochimaru summons tobirama hiruzen and minato amd its over

he can't control them

And Hashirama - people keep forgetting that nothing stops Oro from summonning his edo in a mindless state. Just as Kabuto did with the whole Akatsuki and Madara when showing off to Tobi.

he can't control them

he can summon them brainless, and the only he coundnt control was hashi

Well to recall, Orochimaru wasn't exactly killed from that epic one shot.

The current Orochimaru's Edo tensei arsenal is greater than Jiraiya. So I'd say he's on top.

Even without it...I'd say he has the edge, but it's close.

 

[ShiroShonen]

Its simple Oro=Jiraiya while both > Tsunade

 

[BlueMeteor]

Oro might be the first*
