Intelligence is just another factor, its not the only factor. And it also depends on how you use your intelligence.
Most of the time Intelligence displayed in the Manga is just common sense. It's sad when we, the readers, have to be out right told ' oh that was a genius level move that required thinking so and so steps ahead'
It's all just basic @ss $hit or special never before seen abilities out of nowhere at a convenient time:bdpf:
Well I personally factor it in but intelligence will take you so far when dealing with undeniable power
And yet Black Zetsu negged one of the top 2s in the series and is dead last in power rankings.
Right because in our world when someone attacks you with Magical fire you immediately think to clap your hands together and douse it out with your magical spit water
Eddevil you added absolutely nothing. The first two statements is nothing but common sense. And the last is common sense as well but intelligent levels are different for just about every single person.
And yet Black Zetsu negged one of the top 2s in the series and is dead last in power rankings.
It isn't. but being intelligent can only get you so far. Kakashi was a genius but average Uchiha would make him look like fodder because their chakra and compatibility with dojutsu is stronger.
Intelligence is only a feat if a character has the power to match it
I agree with your analogy but Deidara wasn't a genius.. He was prepared to battle a genius uchiha(Itachi)Desperate attempt for kishi to get rid of madara.
Op: intelligence only really matter in a situation where both have no intel on each other. Like a race to figure out who can outwit and pinpoint flaws the first. Sasuke v deidara is a perfect example. Two geniuses playing chess but the bigger genius winning in the end with no intel at all. :lol
lol you're joking right? Kakashi is better than 90% of the uchiha with there own jutsu and smarter than 90%. Being a uchiha doesn't mean you're born a genius.
