These are the characters I was disappointed with

-Hanzo

-Seven Swordsmen

-Obito (he was powerful but seriously.....only one tech)

-EMS Sasuke

-Orochimaru

-Hiruzen

-Minato

-Kaguya (her only trump card was swapping dimensions.....but she had potential for so much more)

-Tobirama (He wasn't impressive in the war arc.....only Hashirama was)

-Hidan

how Kaguya didnt she was hyped as stronger character and she can easily beat anyone in one on one battle.

Her fighting style and whole Kaguya arc are something else

I'd add to those who lived up to their hype:

-Kabuto (Due the DSM showcase and how impressive it was at the time)

-Pain (Impressive feats/jutsu, Rinnegan was amazing when it was first revealed, truly lived up to the "Akatsuki leader" hype)

-Minato (Although he did get nerfed pretty badly by losing his arm(s), he was still very impressive with KCM, etc)

I know, this is the reason why he disappointed me. The other characters mentioned could be said to have great potential as well.

how Kaguya didnt she was hyped as stronger character and she can easily beat anyone in one on one battle.

Yeah she was the strongest but she still seemed weaker than her hyped self. I mean at a point she was not only being stalemated but even overwhelmed by RSM naruto. Naruto should have been beaten to within an inch of his life

It's okay, his majesty has already foresaw the salt, he understands, lord Yhwach is bliss he simply knows that not everyone can understand his almighty abilities.

Sasuke has repeatedly failed in his hype and that failure seems to just bring new hype. People expected so much of his EMS but he barely if at all met that hype and when saauke finally got the rinnegan, After several long painful years for saauke rinnegan theorist despite his new rinnegan and the sheer raw power it held sasuke was doing pretty good until kaguya cane then his hype went curved down then it was brought up again during his "revolution" bout by a bit but even then that eventually failed during chapter 699. The amount of potential sasuke had in ability was utterly wasted.

The one that lived up to the hype has to be Shino, Shino hype was real back in the day.
