It was portrayed that a Zetsu has half the strength of a fodder (based on casualties) and it took 10, 000 fodder to take the 3rd down. 20, 000 Zetsus should be enough. Though if we where to assume that there where some legit Jonin level characters among the Fodder, I guess we could make it 40, 000 Zetsus for good measure. Either way, 3rd Raikage is not capable of taking out even half of these Zetsu.
Yeah, I mostly agree with this but
-a lot of those casualties were probably inflicted by kabutos edos
-you also have to account for the zetsus which transformed into shinobi and tricked their teammates into thinking they were allies, then killed them
I'd say raikage can take out about half, give or take
If a lot of casualties where from Kabuto's Edos, then imagine the amount of casualties on the Edo side by someone who is not a fodder (And there where a lot more non-fodders on the Alliance team then there where Edos on the opponents team). I think it all evens out in the end to 2 Zetsu for 1 Shunobi fodder.
Yes but do realize that the non-fodders in the alliance were probably the ones taking out most of the Zetsu. Like Kitsuchi or Choji can take out dozens/hundreds in one attack whereas fodders have to rely on brutal hand-to-hand combat. I say it's more like 1 fodder = 1 zetsu.
he's no sakura
exactly because Sakura could take 6 or 7 of them while Raikage can take 20 000 at least
Don't do it, a single hit from sakura can take out atlease 1/4 of them,assuming they are all in place, they are ****ed.
Sure he is fast and strong, but he doesn't have the feats for long ranged punches
Are you saying current sakura is > 3rd Raikage ?
