I have seen most people use the word 'prime', like its definition. But if you go by how it is used in the anime/mangas.. it is not just for 1 or 3 days.. Your prime is over a long period of time.. Well unless you get injured and etc then its not. But a prime does not last 1 or 3 days.. if your strength only lasts that long then you yourself are weak.

People talk about Kabuto. Saying Kabuto's 'prime'. But he only had the edos for barely 2 days.. that is not his prime. His prime must include his own strength. For example, Hiruzen's prime includes his strength.. hes still able to summon Enma but its not HIS strength. Do you see what I mean?. Hiruzen's prime wasn't just 1 or 2 days it was over a long period of time.


Let me give a example :

I am at the best shape of life and can squat 260 pounds.
One day I eat some steroids or etc.. I gain more power and now i can squat 320 pounds..
Now most of you will say my prime was when i could squat 320 pounds.. Well no.
My prime would be the period of time where i was at my most fittest level.. which was 260 pounds.. Sure that one day includes my prime.. but its only 1 day.. not my complete prime.

Is that still confusing? or do you guys understand what I'm saying?

For example, a human being prime is at 20-38... but at the age of 30-28 a human being is his/her's prime.

So Kabuto's prime would be determined when he gets old.

It actually does. This is what most people think. "Prime" is considered at a long period of time.. even in real life itself.

I'm pretty sure you said Hashirama was in his prime even though he never got old...

I think when a person has all his abilities working in top condition and his body collaborating with that power... is known as his prime..
It's not that a person gets an awesome power-up right before his death but his body isn't in a condition to fully utilize it...we won't call it a prime even though he might have been the strongest at that moment in his life but if that power-up awakens in his perfect body, then yes... That's what we call 'prime'...

In NV, prime usually achieved around age 40...

prime is a longer time at prime is for years.

thread topic is dumb

youre assigning arbitary parameters to the word prime to so you can simply shoot down kabutos rank.

you say prime doesnt last 1 or 3 days, but a long period time. how long is a LONG period, please define the exact length (hint: you cant because the word "long" is subjective)

here is the dictionary definition of the word prime: A state of greatest strength, vigor, or success in a person's life. FACT.

next you exclude summoning and say that it can only include the persons strength. following that logic: when we look at people like naruto, minato, nagato, killer bee, etc we must ignore their tailed beast and summoning jutsu

but what about things like minatos kunai. technically minatos kunai is not part of his strength. if i attack you with a knife in a fight, was that knife part of my strength? no. so i guess we cant count ninja tools as part of someones strength lol



your entire argument is flawed. it doesnt follow through logically or technically. kabuto is strong get over it

Someone's prime is the greatest level of achievement they achieved. Now something like 40seconds of godly power isn't a prime, but Kabuto had several weeks in which he collected the Edo bodies so I'd count it as his prime...his ability to have an army st his command. Hiruzen's prime was back when he was far younger and had the stamina and physical strength to bolster his expirience!

i think hashi's prime might have been when he had multiple bijuus under his control
cause after he gave them to countries he ended up dying in war
