Getting a physical boost from Zetsu, and access to its abilities, which Kage he still can't beat?

P.S. dont bother mentioning tier characters higher then Kage's themselves. Via Madara. Hashirama KCM Minato, etc.

He may be able to outlast base Minato and Tobirama via Spores and Clones and stuff. Key word being "may." It's possible but I personally don't think it's very likely.

Base Minato is nearly no threat. Outlasting wouldnt be a problem since he can counter FTG tags perfectly.
Tobirama, on the other hand, has serious sealing explosives that could end the match. In fact I would like to make a match up thread against Tobirama

P.S. Welcome back?

Re: Which Kages can't Orochimaru beat again?

He could beat every one of them -before- he had zetsu suffs, sans hashirama

I feel the need to make this a thread. Im very interested in this match up.


Been debated many times, Orochimaru can definitely beat base Minato.

3rd Raikage

Orochimaru can win by taking over his body and utilizing poison. Or copying him via Zetsu copy ability.

4th Raikage

Same as above but Orochimaru can actually damage his body.


Clones deal with Jinton. So does the ability to sense chakra via chakra built. Orochimaru definitely gets a win once he gets spores on him.


Same as above.


He can win with Kusanagi and summons.


Not sure of this match up only because of TBB

He loses to all the Hokage except Kakashi, probably Tsunade too.

He loses to Fourth and Third Raikage.

He loses to Onoki.

He loses to Yagura

This is all of course assuming ET is not in play.

Your wording confuses me. Don't include kages he can't beat because he can't beat them(Like Hashirama and Naruto)? If the thread is based off who he has no chance against, but you're restricting us from saying who he has absolutely no chance against, I'm not sure what the point is..

I didn't say dont include. I said dont even bother and gave obvious examples, tier wise.

Well, generally, those are going to be the only people Orochimaru CAN'T beat. There's some like Tobirama that may give him matchup problems, but outside of the ones like Hashirama and Naruto, no, there's no one he stands NO chance of beating.

This goes for most characters on/near his level, like SM Jiraiya, Kisame, Itachi, War Arc Kakashi, War Arc Gai, etc. They can give most kages issues if they can't outright beat them, although there are some that may pose matchup issues.

And this is what I wanted to bring to the table. Some argue that most people on that list, Orochimaru either doesn't stand a chance against (example 3rd Raikage) or loses low-mid dif.

When it comes to outlasting,Minato would be the one to outlasts Oro cause he needs Oral Rebirth for surviving from every single attack from Minato so he would eventually run out of chakra.

Orochimaru can beat the Tsuchikages. Against Mū, [ ]-[ ] can locate his position since he will still produce body heat; Mujin Meisai (his invisibility tech) doesn't cease this process. The same happens even if he splits himself or creates rock clones. Jinton from short to mid range is dealt with via to disrupt its preparation. From long range, it can be evaded via Hiding Like a Mole or merging with the ground via Mayfly (faster than Leech All). Same story with Ōnoki except for the invisibility part. Even if they fly up high to where Orochimaru can't reach them, they can't attack either since jinton gets dodged.
