Why is Minato Underrated?

[Wolfus]

Explain then how Minato arrived at the battlefield using Ftg first then? And Tobirama admitting he was faster at using FTG.

Because he used shunshin, not hiraishin. How the hell would tobirama use FTG to get to the battlefield if he didn't even have a mark on the battlefield.
Neither tobirama nor minato. They used shunshin.

 

[OcularProwess]

Why start one of these arguments? But I'll enjoy it tho

No...Minato already had 2 or 3 markings on the battlefield ( one of them was Killer Bee ) and even last one kunai near the oceans so he is very quick to act to be so fast.

Oro has Minato in his arsenal lmao

Think about what you're saying.

Don't get me started, i'm on my phone. Nagato decimates.

Ahhh with what? Minato counters all his jutsu

Why start one of these arguments? But I'll enjoy it tho

Lool because I had a long debate with two of my friends and what they said got to me, had to bring it to the Base, acknowledge what i'm saying tho

 

[Thundergod123]

He's one of the coolest in the manga you really can't diss his personality tbh

He does take Orochimaru and Nagato what are you on?

Nagato solos, that's all....

 

[Gold Lightning]

People say Minato doesn't have Fire power yet completely disregard Gamabunta as part of his power.

- Water Gunshot
- Toad Sword Beheading
- Food Cart Destroyer
- Toad Oil Flame bullet

That seems like a lot of power to me. Bunta has taken on both the Shukaku and Kurama, he's a tailed beast level summoning.

And then Minato's Rasengan is Destructive, powerful and deadly to most opponents. So I don't see where this lack of fire power argument always comes from.

And it's debatable that he can use Sage techniques through the use of Fukasaku and Shima.

 

[Momochifanboy]

Minato is a bad mentor.

 

[Naruto.]

Yes, I was a great Hokage. Thank you.

 

[Wolfus]

He only put those kunais after arriving there, you know that, right? But you're right about bee. Still, tobirama had no marking there.

 

[TaBaYo]

Speed alone wont beat anyone but he's still a Genius, Base Minato may lack raw power but he's intelligent

Corrected:
A lot of people.

Minato's speed alone soloes 99% of Narutoverse.

People just forget he is the guy his name scared people. In NV, there are only 3 people whose name are capable of such:
1. Hashirama
2. Madara
3. Minato (Yellow Flash)

Just that should mean something. Even most Kages acknowledged him that much.

People just underrate hime, because Kishi hasnt developed him a lot on his other jutsus, except the few we know, so they think he doesnt have enough jutsu to take on the big guns.

People will tell you that he can't summon them, when the manga stated in part 1 that he can, because he has contract with the toads.

OT: He just hasn't shown much, that's probably the reason and he died before his prime.

Late response, but never go full retard man. Nagato solos 98% on NV, Minato wouldn't beat him.

 

[BloodSeed]

We've all acknowledged Madara, Hashirama and JM Obito are top 3 right but what comes after them most people don't understand.

Minato is actually so underrated when it comes to people matching him up with ninja's like Itachi, Nagato or Orochimaru, first of all Minato's Immune to genjutsu, One of the smartest ninja's of all time (Literally a Genius), Fastest, crazy amount of chakra reserves and has unique jutsu's, He clearly solos both of them.

(Base Minato may not have have alot of chakra but he still solos before he runs out of chakra so yh)

For those who say he didn't do nothing much as an Hokage need to reread the manga (Minato was only hokage for a year), He was Konoha's hero during the third shinobi war, Saved Konoha again during Obito's attack on the village, saved Naruto during his fight with Pain, if it wasn't thanks to him Naruto probably wouldn't have even been trained by Killer Bee.

Lets not forget if he was to live longer the Uchiha massacre wouldn't of even happened in the first place, the only Hokage I would say that's made better decisions making and that's actually done more than him is Hashirama.


I believe Minato not only solos the majority of ninja's in Naruto but he was a great Hokage don't hate...

yes he is underrated, but obito and madara dont underrate him they become SAGE before they try to fight minato lol

Minato may have been a "great Hokage", but saying he can "solos the majority of ninja's in the NV" is the kind of overrating of Minato which lead people to detract from his abilities.Unless you mean Minato can solos most fodder shinobi which is true, but if you mean the Elites Shinobi of the NV, you are only adding to the problem.

Minato is underrated now because he was overrated for so long.Minato is basically a weaker version of Tobirama without the op water jutsu, the Edo Tensei, and the massive chakra.

Secondly, Tobirama did way more as a Hokage than Minato.For one, the entire system of the village was created by Tobirama, from the anbu black ops, to the academy in which Minato was a student of.Secondly, Minato didn't saved Naruto during the from Pain.Minato's left over chakra resealed kurama, which was only a back up measure he set in place long before Naruto was born.Yes, it was a smart idea but Naruto still had to defeat Pain afterward.

Your assumption that if Minato would have lived "the Uchiha massacre wouldn't of even happened" is just that, an assumption.You have absolutely nothing to base that assumption off.The Uchiha were being discriminated against during Minato time as Hokage, what information from the manga you have to say Minato would have change that leading the Uchiha to not feel the need to stage a coup?What information from the manga do you have to show that Minato could have stop Danzo from ordering Itachi to kill his clansman?

As for matching him up against shinobi's like Itachi, Nagato or Orochimaru, what has Minato shown that makes him so superior to any of those shinobis?Nagato would defeat Minato without a problem.Minato has shown nothing to counter Nagato rinnegan abilities. Itachi and Orochimaru both are highly intelligence shinobis with OP jutsu that can go head to head with Minato.

 

[YellowFang]

In the recent filler, we've seen that Konoha was in a bad diplomatic condition hence 3rd stepped down for Minato. It was Minato who then put Konoha back into the driving seat, Konoha was the strongest and was feared...
It was only in Konoha that a Bijuu appeared suddenly and the village survived only because of Minato[Hashi being the only other who could've done it]...

More of the nonsense .Gamabunta did take on the Shukaku and Kurama,but Gamabunta own words were he wouldn't last long fighting Shukaku, which is why he told naruto he had to hurry up and awaken Gaara during their battle.The same for Kurama, Gamabunta only held Kurama down for a little while, telling Minato he couldn't hold Kurama for that long.Saying Gamabunta is on the same level as a Biju is the height of stupidity just because he could last a little while with them.Ignoring the fact that Gamabunta couldn't do any damage to either Biju he faced.And Toad Oil Flame bullet can only be perform in conjunction with a shinobi who has a fire chakra nature.We don't know Minato chakra nature yet, so that jutsu is out of the question.

And rasengan is only destructive to low level opponents.It would do nothing to Itachi, Madara, Sasuke,Shusui(assuming he has Susanoo) or any Uchiha with MS in both eyes.The same can be said for Hashirama,Tsunade ,Kabuto or even Sakura(Byakugo) at this point.Not to mention, Third Raikage, Second Mizukage, Suigetsu and Mangetsu Hozuki, Nagato and so on

This is the overrating of Minato I'm talking about.Ignoring the facts of the manga to create your own genjutsu world where Minato is god.

 

[To Whatever]

Minato isn't overrated or underrated in my opinion. Minato has been shown to be consistently fast throughout the manga. Not only that, he's shown to be capable of capitalizing after using his speed and reaction skills.

The way I see it, people either assume:

He can just Speed blitz, and spam FTG to win
Or
He only has his FTG and Speed going for him.

Minato isn't a one-dimensional character.

I'd rather not compare these two(because it usually leads to people flaming, "Don't put X in Y's league") but since I believe these are two characters who play to their Intellect and abilities I will anyway.

Itachi's arsenal revolves around genjustu,crow clone feints, and sharingan to flesh out his opponent, track his movements and catch them off guard and lead into a MS technique (unless it's a sure win Ama or Suanoo, if not, a genjustu)

(No, Totsuka blitz GG, No Amateratsu GG. Itachi only has MS and has been proven to be partially blind and sick, he wouldn't even resort to Susanoo or Ama until late in the game due to the repercussions. Unless he's an Edo.)

Minato's arsenal revolves around FTG seals, summons, and Rasengan. He uses his arsenal to quickly change from the offensive to the defensive, all while fleshing out his opponent and either marking them, or catching them off guard to set up for lethal attacks(Rasengan, Foot Cart destoryer, Kunai kill).

(No speed blitz GG, unless he's in Edo BM form. An alive Minato does have impressive speed, but against an low to high kage level opponent, he'd be incapable of doing that without ftg. That being said, there's a low chance of him being able to FTG kill kage level shinobi using just a ftg Kunai. I only say this because most kage level opponents have justu or abilities to avoid Minato throwing a ftg kunai in mid flight, catching it and killing them. (He can indefinitely gain a kill if he marks his opponent though.)

 

[Sennin of Logic]

1. Uchiha fans think he can't get past susanoo because he lacks firepower(but there are ways I'd imagine it could be used to get inside it).


2. Tobirama fans think his lack of diversity makes him inferior to Tobirama.(this is kinda unfounded as the manga has made it clear that he has more jutsu then he's shown)

He apparently has a technique that he hardly had an occasion to use and it's cannon that he knows sealing, which can potentially be OP.


In reality, Minato is an extremely high-level shinobi who's definitely top 10. The combination of FTG and space-time barrier makes him have the best defense in the manga, and FTG is versatile which enables for multiple uses to get the upper hand on enemies. That and he has the fasted body flicker out of all the hokages.

Nagato solos, that's all....

... No....

Its a shame Kishi never showed what that technique was. Although I would find it hilarious if he uses it against Madara and Madara states that if he didn't have a most of the bijuus inside the Juubi he would have lost
