1. Danzo loved the village. I don't see Hashirama dominating Minato. He can teleport out of the way when Hashirama attacks with Wood Element, can detect Hashirama by placing his finger on the ground if Hashirama uses Genjutsu of Darkness. I really don't see what Hashirama dominating him and don't say we don't know enough of Hashirama, we don't know enough of Minato either but the little we know has put him on a very high level.
2. Speed is not characteristic of a Kage as seen with Tsunade who isn't as fast as Lee of Part 1 according to Databooks and there's really no comparison between Minato's and any other characters speed.
3. I agree with your number 3. There are no laws of physics in Naruto.
4. There are no one hit kill techs in Naruto. There's always someone that can survive the tech, Itachi survived Kirin, Sasuke survived Amaterasu, Onoki survived Meteor no jutsu, Orochimaru and Kyubi survived Dead Demon Consuming Seal, 3rd Raikage survived Rasenshuriken but certain techniques are more deadly than others since they have higher chances of killing the enemy, marking an opponent with ftg and teleporting to kill them with kunai or Rasengan is extremely deadly that flee on sight orders were given to any shinobi that encountered Minato. Most techniques are not nearly instant, its just Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'n, Amaterasu, Kirin, Raikage and Naruto's top speed and of couse FTG, Maybe Totsuka and Sasuke's arrows, out of the thousands of techniques in the Narutoverse.
5. If Naruto didn't have Kyubi he won't be able to surpass A's speed, if Sasuke didn't transplant Itachi's eyes he'll be blind and not really much of a threat, If Naruto never met Jiraiya he wouldn't know Rasengan. I don't think how a shinobi gets their techs should matter, if it did no one would be considered powerful except SO6P and he had Rinnegan so that must have helped.
6. Hitting Tobi is one of the hardest things to do in Naruto. Only four have done it: Minato, Torune, Konan and Naruto. Minato smashed him with Rasengan,marked him with ftg and placed a contract seal on him in one move. That compared to a headbutt, Torune's accidental attack or Konan's months of preparation entire chakra level 10 minute explosion attack based on info she obtain through years of being Tobi's ally is very impressive.
7. Tobi used Naruto to attack Minato with explosive tags then teleported Kushina to an unknown location, wrenched the Kyubi from her then teleported to Konoha and summoned it there.
There was no way he or anyone could help the Anbu since he was busy with the Kyubi's seal.
He saved his son and Tobi teleported Kushina away, no other shinobi would have been able to locate Kushina after Tobi took her and by the time the Kyubi is released and summoned in Konoha, nobody else would have been able to get back to Konoha in time. Nobody would have been able to defeat Tobi as fast as Minato did. Nobody else would have been able to take the Kyubi out of Konoha and make a new Jinchuuriki as fast as Minato did and ensure that the Jinchuuriki controls the beast the way Minato did. Things could have turned out a lot worse if it was someone else in Minato's shoes.
8. If you say Minato is just filler garbage since he isn't a main character then Rikudou is just filler garbage as well, Hashirama is just filler garbage too. To say Minato doesn't have a vital role is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, he made Rasengan which Naruto learned and completed to what is now his most powerful long range technique and Rasengan's principles is what now allows Naruto the chance to master the Tailed Beast Bomb, he sealed the Kyubi into Naruto giving him the chance to control the Nine Tails and become as powerful as he is now, he was the one who told Naruto of Tobi's involvement in the so-called natural disaster of the Kyubi attack and he was the one who saved Konoha back then. I don't think main character Kakashi has been this involved in pushing the story forward.
'Crushing your hopes and dreams' that's actually funny.
