Would Pein be more effective in battle than Nagato?

[Wind Squid]

"Pein" is regarded as Nagato's greatest technique or secretartshit or something. And if you kinda think about it, Pein surely seems like a whole superior level of a war-machine when compared to any pre-edo Nagatos, cause he can self Rez and has shared field of vision and such.

Your thoughts?

Six path of pain is clearly stronger than edo nagato

 

[Glorious]

Obviously, otherwise nagato wouldn't have made the 6 paths of pain. Nagato does not have mobility.

Well, not necessarily in terms of power level, but in terms of Ovewhelming..erm...power...levels.

 

[Edo Odin]

Ehh, personally, I don't think so. Pain's greatest weakness is that by the time you figure out each of the paths strength, you also figure out the weaknesses of that path. For example, once someone sees that the Preta Path absorbs chakra, he'd go at him with Taijutsu. And when someone sees the power of the Human Path, he'd use long range attacks.

This however, wouldn't be the problem with Nagato, seeing as he can counter pretty much all incoming attacks with the ability of the Six Paths, meaning that getting a hit off on him will be way harder than against the paths.

 

[Horus]

Yeah, Six Paths Of Pein Are On a Whole Other Level Than Nagato...

It seems silly for me to say this, but against lower-level ninja, the six pains are more effective. However, against a higher-level ninja, Nagato himself is best. I say this, because the six pains are all controlled by one vector, thus all of them fighting at once isn't going to be as efficient. We can see Naruto's fight against the six pains where, as each pain fell, the more combat-efficient the remaining group was, until he struggled against the one last Pain. This is essentially the "

Healthy Nagato would change landscapes alone, Pein is limited in his destruction for he is a mere set of corpses.



And if he was really gonna go in he would bring his Pein Rikudo with him to battle like Obito did and shiit would get real.

 

[Omega]

I'd rather fight nagato than Pein any day.

 

[Touken]

Healthy Nagato > 6 Paths of Pain.

TV tropes are the shit!!

"Field of Vision"...byakugan, much? But it is pretty much the same.

Also, how almighty push moves surrounding sh*t, like that chakra rotation thing.

Kishimoto doesn't give AF about the Hyuugas, because if he did, Hinata(A much loved character who makes top 10 almost every poll), would have much more jutsu, one-on-one battles, and airtime.

Nahh

DSM Kabuto can beat Pain with one handsign.

 

[SIGFOR]

The flaws of being one instead of many is being overwhelmed. Nagato was able to launch arms from his body to counter Bee while ripping Narutos soul out. He lacked the field of vision from only having 2 eyes and not beings a nimble. The 6 paths each were just dead bodies being fueled by chakra to move fast, hit hard and watch each others back. I guess Edo Itachi was supposed to be the 2nd pair of eyes for Nagato but was rewritten to help the Shinobi Force.

Did ja pull that one out of your ass? There was absolutely no indication whatsoever that such an occurance took place in their fight.

DSM Kabuto can beat almost anyone with one handsign. The Sage is the only exception.

So he may not giove more airtime with Hyugas, but they still have lore, strange symbols that are also present in the Uchiha compound, eyes that represent Balance, and their mysterious origins that make them more suspicious than a CIA agent at a Texas rodeo.

Exactly! You also don't forget the fact that Pein are incapable of feeling..erm..."pain" and thus could even launch "suicidal" attacks on their enemies. Nagato can't do that!

I was talking about Muki Tensei.

 

[DeadManWonderLand]

No.
he used the paths because he was immobile.That is all.
In his prime with full use of his legs he is way stronger and can use all paths simultaneously.
The pain bodies are only as strong as the amount of chakra put into them.
They do not have the inherent strong vitality that nagato's actual body has.
The only up side is that they do not feel pain.However being able to use each of their techniques at the same time on a much greater scale is more
advantageous.

Not to mention if you manage to remove the stakes the paths become useless.
Which means the paths themselves don't even need to be defeated to gain the win.
