water element is underrated

[Beans2]

no matter how durable your opponent is, they still need to breathe (with a couple exceptions like sasori.) a decent suiton user could take down a much more powerful opponent if they manage to drown them.

 

[Akatosh]

kishis manga is for teenagers, not allowed to drown people in his manga

kishi under 16 no jutsu

 

[Pirate King]

in theory yes, in the actual manga no

 

[Itachi Solos All]

If their opponent is much more powerful wouldnt they be able to avoid drowning?:|

 

[Mellow]

& at high pressures it can tear skin& flesh off bone & crush internal organs.

 

[Joshutsu]

it's a shame because the manga does not push the notion in the slightest.

suiton/raiton are my favorite elements

 

[Jordanofthecloud]

& at high pressures it can tear skin& flesh off bone & crush internal organs.

This too. And just getting hit with a huge mass of water should kill you, by impact alone.

Jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in SF, and that is just the speed of a human falling, killing them at the surface of the water.

 

[Forbidden Tale]

It is stronger than Fire at least...

 

[nrto60]

just burst the organs with mizu-manipulation...

 

[slaton02]

It really is, it's more useful than the other element too.

 

[conradoserpa]

There's no underrated element. wtf

 

[Incompl]

Water should be the element with the most potential, but Kishi doesn't see this:erm:. With the force that Shinobi use Suiton, it should at the very least cause some internal damage to the body.

 

[Professor Swagger]

There are Techniques where you can breathe underwater.

...and Drowning has already been done.
Utakata used his bubbles on Naruto's Shadow Clones' heads to suffocate them.​

 

[RicardoA]

You really think any half decent shinobi would fall for drowning just like that? ._.
It would take every Suiton user Kisame like prowess to attemp something like that.

 

[Alfred Pennyworth]

and futon can probably suffocate ppl too

 

[Zen Uchiha]

yes i agree with you

 

[Legendary Saiyan]

It'd be the most OP element if Kishi invented a Kinjutsu that manipulates blood in anyone's body. Like Katara doing Bloodbending

 

[Mad Daz]

The manga really makes suiton look weaker than it should be. And from what i remember the anime is even worse in this regard.
