When referring to vs battles and certain jutsu, I have noticed that when a fanboy or fapboy cannot argue against the power of FTG, Edo Tensei, Diedara's clay, Sasori's pupptes or Konan's Billion paper bomb jutsu, they then like to throw in the "prep time" argument, trying to suddenly add logic to the scenario. When half the time, the characters will never face eachother in battle.

Its whenever a character is introduced to battle "Prep Time" should already be considered. Thats like saying in a Madara VS that he cant use PS because he first needs prep time by getting his brothers eyes, or that Minato cannot use FTG cuz he needs to prep the seal on kunai. Why cant ppl just consider that the prep time already was made, asd when entering VS threads, "prep time." should not contribute at all.

"Kirin is almost always rendered useless in battle because of prep time."

Does that ^ bother you as well? :|

Not my logic, btw.

Uhhh no. Prep time refers to events that a shinobi wouldn't have at any given time. Minato always kunai with seals on them, and can apply the seals during battle.

Konan's Billion Paper Bomb is legitimately useless if there's no prep time because:
1. She has it set up only in Ame and it can only be used.
2. She said she spent years making that trap.

The Madara's EMS analogy you used makes no sense because Madara only needs to implant Izuna's eyes once, and he ALWAYS has it. So no, saying no prep time cancels some jutsu is NOT like saying Madara can't use Perfect Susano'o, not even close.

Most of the battles we've seen in the series has not had prep time, and that's because ninjas can attack or be attacked at any given point in time.

By taking away prep time, you make Konan a top 5 strongest character in the manga.

Prep time isn't an excuse its a god damn fact.

Hell Sakura and Tsunade can rile up poison after poison if they got prep time.. o_O.. so its not an excuse.. but just a scenario which is a fact..

In a way I agree....but I think in a situation like Konan vs Tobi. She had to lure him to that exact spot, and the attack was made for a specific opposition, correct? Madara once he obtained his brothers eyes could use Susanoo anywhere, at any time, against any opposition, correct? Idk....I honestly think it a waste of energy to argue over hypothetical fights. Not saying I'm above it, or anyone, but I feel we could discuss more shunned things. Things not brought up too often. Idk....don't mind me. I'll agree with you though. :win:

Prep time is legit and needs to be heavily considered

Okay, I agree on the Konan thing. But as for anyone else, prep time is BS.

Ok well, let see.

Give Sakura prep time, she can make poison and etc. Don't give her prep time, she has no poison.

prep time=/ prep

People argue prep used for Edo, not the prep time. Prep time for amataersu is argued.

Arguing prep is stupid, that's putting a condition on the situation, not prep time

How can use compare preparing a jutsu to EMS?
Let's say a jutsu required 1000000 hand signs to be preformed(kinda random) wouldn't you say prep is a valid argument? Ofc no jutsu takes this long but there are some that has a long prep and should be considered somewhat.

Unbiased opinion

Well they mean like some moves need like a whole 3-5 minutes to activate like

Edo tensei

For Kabuto he has to use sacrifices and when do you have enough time to find that in a fight

Preo time is more closely associated with plot driven elements than a versus match.


Konan's billion bombs is without a doubt prep time, but the point is that this preparation allowed her to stand against Obito. The way it is typically used is to bring across the point that in verses matches, Konan doesn't have a billion applet bomb attack all the time. They refer to "Konan had prep time" because that specific event in the fight ONLY occurred because of the exact location and opponent.


Similar to Sakura and Chiyo's antidote. Normally, they'd be beaten by Sasori, but had the prep time of the antidote. It's not like Sakura always travels with that specific antidote. The minute Kankuro is killed early or dies before Sakura arrives, no antidote is made.

I don't see how FTG, Edo Tensei, or Perfect Susanoo requires prep.... Minato always has FTG Kunai on the ball.

I agree with this ^ & I also don't see , FTG , Susanno or Edo Tensai as prep time , since this characters have been shown to be always ready .
