Killer B was a perfect jin at that point.

You're not seriously suggesting Minato wins against a perfect jin of the 8-tails?

Bee was Ay's side kick. The words that came out of Ay's mouth were "I thought he'd never be surpassed" why tf would he say that if his side kick killer bee was stronger than minato.

You're going against the manga bro. It was confirmed that minato fought the AB combo numerous times. The fact that he was still alive and became homage shows that he won most of those skirmishes. Do you understand what I'm saying? Minato vs AB and they couldn't kill him. Now you tell me who is stronger individually.

I just want you to say the words. "Minato can beat a perfect Jinchuriki."

Only on-panel fight they had, they stalemated. For all we know, in every off-panel fight Minato retreated.

Common sense dictates Bee > Ay. Ay would never admit to being surpassed by Bee, hell he even smacks Bee around like a little brother.

Obito > nagato <<< always. Only person that could've kept Obito in check or had the potential to was Yahiko, who Obito plotted against to take him out. Rinnegan mastery =/= able to spam rinnegan techniques. People take edo feats and tend to overrate them

And Minato > obito, already proven.

3rd Raikage was most likely dead at that point.

When Ay and Minato first met, neither were kages. The 3rds were still reigning. Bee had the Hachibi sealed in him as a kid when the 3rd was alive. 3rd raikage was still alive at the time.

Im not ovverrating Nagato or the rinnegan due to edo tensei.

But before he was crippled, he still had incredible power plus mobility.

1. Hes an Uzumaki, massive chakra and healing.

2. Rinnegan. Can see all kinds of chakra and use all elements.

3. Rinnegan techs. Nothing in minatos arsenal can counter them. Preta path to absorb rasengan and seals, deva path to push or pull him. Human path to take his soul

Yep, the 8-Tails was sealed in B during Minato's rule, and the 3rd died against the 8-Tails.

EDIT: Nvm, he died against 10,000 shinobi. My bad.

Hachibi was sealed when bee was a little boy. Minato is around the same age as ay. Probably younger. They fought way before they were Kages.

Bro, just..sigh*

You not understanding what I'm saying. If he took on Ay and Bee at the same time. What on earth makes you think a teenaged bee can beat minato by himself. Perfect Jin or not. He took on a more powerful kurama. Kurama>hachibi

When minato's name was mentioned around bee he trembled. You don't tremble if you're stronger than someone else.

Lovely speculation
FTG away doesnt cancel genjutsu, doesnt work that way, but minato can FTG all he wants under illusion U_U

Just like you speculate Minato not being able to detect and cancel genjutsus with his already fast reaction right. And clearly you don't know much about genjutsus if you think he can't FTG away, it depends on the genjutsu used, genjutsus such as what Kabuto use to put people to sleep during the Chunin exam, those ninjas who were using genjutsu to fight Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura/Kabuto during the forest exam, Sasuke's genjutsu on Danzo to make him think his eye was still open. They have full rain to use their jutsus or move their body accordingly. The genjutsu you're talking about is the one that Itachi uses right? The one Itachi have to actually be in as well to control it or the one where he use it to paralyze his opponents but then again we're talking about Minato who has the fastest reaction out of all ninjas alive at the time.

You spectulate that Minato couldn't break out of powerful genjutsus when he has great chakra control (Rasengan alone is extremely advance chakra control which Minato created), a strong mind, and is greatly feared by many of his enemies; Hiruzen actually gave Naruto Kushina's last name because they feared that what Minato's enemies may due and the Uzumaki clan was nearly wiped out because they feared them for their powerful sealing jutsus so Kishi pretty much said Minato's reputation>Uzumaki clan's.

3. Rinnegan techs. Nothing in minatos arsenal can counter them. Preta path to absorb rasengan and seals, deva path to push or pull him. Human path to take his soul

Well Nagato is about 3 years older than Minato, Jiraiya trained Nagato/Konan/Yahiko when they were kids then he returned to Konoha and took up students which included Minato so Minato was already a Genin at that point. When we see Nagato face Hanzo and Danzo forces he didn't use any Rinnegan jutsus but summoning the Gedo and we know he could use all elements since his training days with Jiraiya. So all Nagato had at that time was jutsus of all elements and summoning the Gedo, I think Obito trained him to learn that over the years since Deva path alone would be owning them.

Bee was around 16-17 by the time he met Minato I think and he was a perfect Jinchuuriki; I would put him Jounin level base and the 8 tails makes him Kage level+. Minato is around A's age, A only aged over the 17+ years since we've see them meet. Had Minato lived those years he would only be much stronger so I would say Minato if he had lived would be stronger than Nagato with the paths but when he died he wouldn't be but I think he might have a chance to win since Nagato said Jiraiya might have been able to beat him and Minato>Jiraiya so Minato's smarts would be a big factor.

As for Nagato before getting crippled, we can't really say he had the Rinnegan jutsus but Gedo Mazo and element jutsus, Madara taught Obito the Sage jutsus so who else would teach Nagato.

Actually Minato's age is closer to B's than A's. Jiraya(26-27) was Minato's sensei when he was 10, so a 16-17 years difference. Part1 Jiraya was 50 and Kyubi's attack happened 12 years prior, so Jiraya was 38 during that time. Soustract 16-17 to it, and we have a 21-22 years old Hokage Minato. The first battle with A-B duo happened somewhere before that. I'd say he was roughly 19-20. I think B himself was 18-19 because he is 5years older than Kakashi

Yea!
Though we still have Obito, 4th Raikage, Even Bee.
But undoubtedly Minato was the strongest.

Wow really? I thought Minato was in his mid-high 20's when he fought Obito lol damn, I wonder who strong he would be if he lived up to now?

So despite Minato being dead for 17 years, Bee still trembles at the sound of his name... -_-

Guess that means Bee is stringer than minato. I know I tremble when I see people weaker than me. U_U

Why he died young tho....

Killer bee matched Minato in combat and he didnt even go all out

I can name 10 shinobi that would have survived a Kunair or Part 1 Rasengan strike lol

Also you had Ononki who was much younger

Killer bee didn't match jack. He had a kunai to the back of his head, one stab to the brain and he was done. Not to mention bee was marked. Meaning minato could've teleported to him anytime or just teleported in front of him.

No Orochimaru was. And nagato and little kid Itachi was.
And 4th raikage in his v2 armojr wouldnt even be phased by minato also mangetsu with his hyratio tech. Deidara with his microbombs.
