Who can Temari beat in Akatsuki?

[Icelerate]

In Shikamaru Hiden, two years after the end of Shippuden, Sai was given speed feats to speed blitz Temari and was hyped to be extremely fast. That doesn't apply to Hidan whose attack was dodged by Shikamaru while feinting getting hit. The novel, when animated, didn't even have Temari fight Sai and instead had Ino fight Sai. Ino then proceeded to blitz Sai with Shitenshin no Jutsu.

Hidan was not taking Shikamaru seriously.
Shikamaru dodged Kakuzu as well bud. Both blitz the shit out of Temari at any close distance.

Just as Asuma or Kakashi would.

Prove your assertion. Kakashi is the only one fast enough to blitz Temari.

 

[ToshiZO]

Prove your assertion.

My proof is she can't keep up with Kakashi let alone manage to pressure him.

You're looking at lower end feats when we have higher end ones, that's wack af.

She is doodoo in CQC. No reason to think otherwise

How is that proof that she gets blitzed by someone slower than Kakashi?

 

[ToshiZO]

How is that proof that she gets blitzed by someone slower?

Because that someone "slower" could perfectly keep up with and pressure that someone faster.

That doesn't mean they are fast enough to blitz before Temari reacts. None of them actually used their speed to pressure anyone, let alone outright blitz.

 

[ToshiZO]

Does it matter? The most she can do is put up a last minute defense get pressured and eventually get manhandled. She'll be able to react in time to watch herself get her ass whooped.

 

[Zexion~]

Hidan can't outright blitz Temari but her jutsu have decent casting time, so at any distance under 10 meters she's not getting the chance to pull anything off.

But not many matches start out with that distance so I mean....

But did she ever cut anyone with her jutsu? I don't recall such situations. Imo Hidan beats her.

Naruto never killed anyone with rasengan, but that doesn't mean he can't.

 

[Nattana]

The point is that Hinda isn't anyone. If Temari cannot like slice him in half before he engages her in CQC, she's done for. And I don't recall her having feats like that.

She cut the third, even if it was with others the fact that he couldn't react means its doubtful Hidan would. Her large scale jutsu are rather useless and easily avoidable but yeah lol.

Wasn't there like several other ninja using the same jutsu with her? You can't compare that to what she can do alone. Imo Hidan wrecks her.

she herself states her kkm will do more damage than the combined assault

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Because it massively complicates what Part 1 (and even Part 2) Naruto is capable of, it even contradicts it. So now you're claiming Part 1 Naruto is capable of simultaneously creating 9 Rasengans with one-hand (when every other time up until literally the Pein Arc he needed help)? Please. This is the precise reason canon exists. While the established canon does also contradict itself at times, it is still more or less consistent and allowed people to talk about the same relevant topic without pulling from different sources.

I really don't understand why you're even in the Versus board if you can't grasp this concept. Might as well just create your own fan-fiction feats, as long as you claim they're canon they get to be, right? Only that "fandom culture" weighing you down!

I'm fine with a manga-only sub-forum, I get that of course but this IS a Naruto forum. Just talking as a website community in general here, if it can be reasonably explained, suits the character and fits into canon seamlessly, there's little reason to exclude and turn your nose up at anime/book-only content.

I'll admit a discussion on Death of the Author isn't a topic for a VS Thread, but it irks me the hostile tone some users take for even acknowledging that an anime exists. Goes for the whole forum.

It wasn't the main basis of my argument anyway, it wasn't even me who brought up the Kiba post. It was literally another example on top of the manga one I had to add to the Temari argument.

Anime is beneath the quality we find acceptable.

I'm not saying the word is a fandom invention. The ruling and application of it is what's bizarre. The way people will blindly invalidate everything except the manga for reasons they sometimes haven't even questioned. In threads like this, I get why. But for entertainment value, it's nonsense you only find in media with cult followings.

But even in other cult followings, ones that might need an existing canon (Harry Potter slashfics or Star War's reset canon) they're not usually taken that seriously or religiously, they're essentially a viewing guide.

Narutobase and anime has a fandom that has has no such reason other than 'I dont like it so it didn't happen'. Which is basically denial, seeing people bicker over exactly how many of the novels are canon, or which movie had Godkishi's approval is so pointless when it's all there to entertain. Never been just one person behind the series.

Sorry to go off on one, just trying to be clearer.

For entertainment, i doubt you find ppl why dislike the anime, but for discussions such as these it holds no place.Its application fits definition of 'canon' to a T. the word It on to many of occasion directly contradicts the source material, and the discussion being held is about the source material, not the spinoffs "approved by kishi". You don't see naruto sd, being used in discussion, unless specifically stated. That too was approved by kishi and he even designed some of the characters. But even so its a parody of the source, and all that really matters here is source.

why settle for the inferior stuff.

and the bold is far from true. not everybody likes what happend in the manga, yet they acknowledge that it in fact happened, albeit begrudgingly

Yeah but if it can cut the third who tanked FRS I'm fairly certain just her using it would cut an average human.

she herself states her kkm will do more damage than the combined assault

KKM is easy to avoid and takes too long to prep.

 

[Made in Heaven]

He didn't tank it, he was damaged, and had Lightening Armor as well. FRS is way above that 3-man Wind Net.
