Understanding what Prime means

[Mellanoma]

Since most people on the board seem to have issues with understanding what Prime is I will explain.

Prime is basically the state at which you are your strengest in your life. Age is not relevant however most people are in there prime early adult years.

For most people this is early adulthood as it is with shinobi apparently.. HOWEVER this does not mean you can't be prime in your late late years or early early years of life.

Examples:

Old in Prime

Danzo was an old man however due to the altercations to his body he was in his prime state when he had the 10 sharingans and Shishu eye.

Young in Prime:

Sound 4:

For the most part the Sound four without there Curse marks were basically low level ninjas. As we know the curse mark weakens with age so it is safe to say that they ultimately would have gotten weaker as time progressed.

Mid age Prime

Hiruzen:

Was the strongest in his early adult hood however he got weaker with age


Thoughts?

I agree with this. More examples

Kakashi was in his prime when he had the double Mangekyo sharingan.

Obito's prime was when he was the Juubi's Jinchuriki.

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

 

[Trúth]

Yeah I agree.

 

[Zook1]

Yes we understand thank you for the clarification.

Prime Hiruzen: between the age of 25-50. In 25 years he was the eras SO6P until age beat him to it, weakening him BUT STILL managing to stay stronger than the rest of the kages

This is way out of proportion, I don't think the hiruzen hype was even real just random wankers and the prime danzo hype was legit just that one time. I agree still though.

 

[Saiyansnake]

Wait... I thought is meant I got 2 day shipping and movie/ video streaming on Amazon.

 

[Gerkak]

Agreed. Prime kakashi was DMS kakashi

 

[Jinrou]

Agreed .

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

Agreed, a character's prime is when they are at their absolute best.

Danzo though is interesting to me. Since he was old, he likely traded strength and speed for his modifications. Hashirama's cells boosted his chakra, so it should had at least evened him out if his chakra decreased with age.
