Point of Clarification

[Tazzilla88]

A lot of people on this forum believe that Madara defeated the Gokage without resorting to Perfect Susanoo. I feel like that idea is making people feel like Gokage performed worst than they really did.
But Madara specifically said he was using PS to defeat them.

you forgot that madara wasnt even serious to begin with.

If he was serious from the start they would have gotten one shotted by the meteors

 

[Da Best Ever]

He saidhe didn't use it he said a adult wouldn't fight with everything he has against a child or something to that extent

 

[Minator93]

Not when we clearly saw that Tsunade was raped by Mokuton U_U

Also the way Kages were wounded those aren't the type of wounds one could get from PSS. PSS is complete extermination U_U

 

[Hikari to Yami]

Madara wasn't actually very serious in the fight to begin with. He merely wanted to strike fear in the hearts of the Kages.

 

[Kaede]

.....Nah.... Meteors are gg. If he was serious, he would have killed Ohnoki with a Yasaka Magatama when he tried to stop the Meteors.

 

[Draphsin]

Madara was never serious though, he was about to get serious in the scan you posted to end the fight quickly, which is why he was complaining about having to pull it out again.

 

[Fecal Matter]

lol i see no clarification, they got toyed with then decimated and left for dead by Madara.

 

[Transcendence]

He wasn't really serious to begin with. If he wanted to, he could have just used Yasaka Magatama on Ohnoki when he was lightening the meteor.

There is only one shinobi that has more power than edo madara and its juubito

Even bsm naruto isn't same level, naruto is closer tohashirama level now

 

[scorezor]

One Madara didn't stomp them by any means. He resorted to his most powerful technique to defeat them.
They certainly put up a tougher fight than Naruto did. They countered his meteors, when there where only two of the Gokage there.
They countered his Mokuton, and more importantly Advent World of Flowering Trees. Something Naruto would have been hard-pressed to do if being attacked by Madara, whilst being put to sleep by the trees, while a fire rages within the trees.
The countered his Katons.
They didn't have an answer for his strongest move. That's it. They had an answer for everything else.
That isn't a stomp.
Also, that's not the point of this thread. The point is that he used PS to defeat them. Even said "to have to do this again." Because he believed they were powerful opponents deserving of the mantle Kage and he apparently believed they had a counter most other things in his moveset. He hadn't decided to go after Naruto until after that comment. So at that particular moment they were all that he was focused on.

Nah. Madara could've used tons of other jutsu to finish them off. Him saying he's using g to beat them doesn't imply he had to use it to beat them. He's just stating that's the jutsu he chose to end them with.
