Strong enough to get his own manga.
We need at least 12 volumes lol
Would that make him 4D since he can influence the real world?
Jounin Minato is still Pain Arc Naruto Victim

The thing I like most about Minato is how seemingly simple yet highly efficient his fighting style is
Exactly
Hes an actual ninja not a Kaiju. " Wood release" how you gonna stop a ftg + to the back of the neck.
That's actually somewhat true to real life. See the video of the guy in the ring flipping around, doing cartwheels, and flying roundhouse kicks? Gets bodied by a strait punch to the face. _Legend of Korra_ had a similar theme to it.
Yeah, end the fight as quickly as possible
@@johnsonjohnny675 The same way Madara did to Tobirama in the war arc with no eyes. All you need to do is anticipate where they're going to be at lol
Minato's chakra control is insane. He came back from a mission with jiraya where he faced 2 tailed beasts, told Kushina "sorry can't train with you on sealing jutsu, I want to train on my own today", goes into the forest, tries to create a Rasengan, doesn't work, Jiraya tells him about the hair whorl, light bulb lights up in Minato's head, BOOM Rasengan
Then he gives it the single worst name of all time.
@@morphstarchangeling8024 ice pop-inspired jiraya twin whorl sphere is a fantastic name
@@GameCyborgCh Yeah now get him to try naming that long ass attack name against an opponent that moves at crazy speeds. He wouldn’t even get to the first two syllables before his ass ends up in the afterlife
@@rikuudo954 just split it apart with flying raijin
@@rikuudo954 or he can just not say the name and just fight
I think the thing people don’t acknowledge about Minato when compared to the other powerhouses in the series is that all his feats come purely from his genius alone. All his feats were done from his own talent. From enhancing the uzumaki seal to his own version, to surpassing tobirama’s flyng raijin. He didn’t have the benefit of owning any of the eye powers or being a jichuriki. So when he gets compared to things like itachi if he was healthy or other eye users, it’s kinda not fair? I think I can best describe it as Minato being the pinnacle of what a normal ninja can become without the added benefits of having any of the eyes.
yeah, I think Minato was a genius that came up with new stuff or enhanced existing stuff, he learned what he could then took it to the next level, Itachi learned all that he could and stopped there, he relied on his eyes a fair bit.
Hashiramas stronger
@@heftymagic4814 Normal ninja lol. Hashirama's kinda... special.
@@jaideepshekhar4621Reincarnation of a god and a body that has regen
Its not unfair its just a part of uchiha to have sharingan and a part of jinjuriki to have tailed beast.
On the same note based on that logic I could claim that when minato fought yellow mask obito that its unfair that minatos guenis figured ou kamui near instantly.
Just like how minatos speed or brilliance isnt unfair, its not unfair that jinjurikis have a tailed beast in them or that uchihas have sharingon because thats part of who they are
Reading that Minato chapter felt like the days of 2007-2014, reading Naruto weekly. The art felt nostalgic, the nuanced story telling showed us Masashi Kishimoto hasn’t lost a step, and Minato really did come across as strong. Hope we get one that shows us what happened to Hashirama after his battle with Madara. How he died, his grief, etc.
Shame that later Naruto devolved into super powered moon aliens
lie more
@@dinogt8477 STOP BEING BRAINDEAD 💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
Agreed, a Hashirama one would be amazing! There's so much more stuff with him that would really add to the story. Did we ever even see him gamble?
@@dinogt8477cope
I always interpreted it as Minato had better Reflexes.. while the actual teleportation was the same, Minato could activate the jutsu faster.
He also spammed it so much that it was a banned jutsu
@@pride2184 isn’t it because of the chakra usage the same reason the shadow clone was banned?
@@pride2184Not to mention, the range of his teleportation seems superior.
Yea I think it's the spam. It just makes the jutsu more skillful/mastered/complete/proficient.
It's kinda like Fireball jutsu vs Phoenix flower jutsu
@@deathcon6261 i think arguinh chakra usage just to make it seem characters are more powerful because they have more chakra when it became chakra doesnt even matter. Never once do we see any one die from over use. Naruto and sasuke spammed moves and ran out then regained so fast that it became a plot device . So answer yes probably the reason is usage however its not relevant in terms of actual use of characters. Shadow clones were supposed to cut your chakra in half every time one is made. But naruto made 1k in his first fight so he divide his chakra 1 thousand times. So you have to imagine his life force either is infinite without kyubi help or doesnt really matter. Kakashi died technically of out of chakra but he took too much damage so its iffy if its chakra or pain who killed him.
Minato is the embodiment of peak shinobi to me. He didnt come from a big well known clan (as far as we know), Chakra control & formation was class, and skill & battle tactic was astronomical. Mans took a jutsu from one of his Kage predecessors & vastly improved it, then proceeded to create his own jutsu inspired by the tailed beasts that could rival a tailed beast itself. Only thing he's trash at is actually naming certain jutsu's. Other than that dude just came from nowhere and proved he was that once in a generation talent & a rare breed.
Minato could be Tsunade and Dan or possibly Jiraiya hidden son... It would explain why Naruto is so OP.
@@fukkitful definitely would explain a lot even though most of Naruto's massive chakra pools come from his Uzumaki side.
@@SidneyMosley True. There's also the whole thing with Naruto being the reincarnation of asura after Hashirama. You would think they would be related since Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra after Madara.
The fandom says "The Uzumaki, being descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki, also shared distant blood relation with the Senju clan."
But with how natural gifted Minato was it wouldn't be a stretch for him to be a descendant of Hashirama.
I feel like its never addressed on purpose who Minato's parents were.
I think he’s extremely overrated. I like Ninja like Kakashi & Hiruzen who are multifaceted. If you took Minato’s signature move away from him he’d be a default shinobi. Where as if you took Kakashi & Hiruzen’s signature moves away from them they’d still have a threatening array of techniques.
@@EternalBrightness_I agree and disagree. Minato heavily relies on FTG as his base means of combat and travel but he has hands and the intelligence to defeat others. That being said I will say the way that they gave Minato all those power ups are bs. KCM? Bull. Sage mode despite never using it in his lifetime? Bull yet somewhat believable due to his relationship with Jiraiya. I just wished they would’ve explained how Minato even got FTG.
So as comparison: Body Flicker is like what all Dragon Ball characters use to "teleport" short distances and Flying Raijin is like Instant Transmission
body flicker is more like a burst of speed, dbz characters just use raw speed to move distances
What's after images in dbz though?
@@dhrubi most naruto characters raw speed feats are bodyflicker they can run or jump that high without enhancing their body with chakra to some degree
Body flicker by definition is just speed enhancement with chakra
@@jayash2957 well that's not raw speed then lmao dbz characters have moved at ftl speeds before even using ki
@@jhardi_official366 afterimages are just moving so fast that you leave an imprint of yourself behind
Just read the one-shot manga and man, Kishimoto's art is so good. It was a nice trip down memory lane reading some new Naruto. Seeing Minato's intelligence was also cool. We finally get to see more of his genius level intellect displayed. That opening page felt like a flashback to the prime Naruto days of a decade ago. It was a great one shot and a treat to read.
Where to read
@@spencyyy Bro did you even watched the video, swag said multiple times link is in the discription
It was a callback to when the manga and anime was about shinobis, not the alien bullshit crap that infected Boruto today
That feat with him sealing the nine tails in Naruto is so underrated
In that split second he rewrote a trigram seal, split the 9 tails seal half in him and the other in Naruto. Then seal himself and kushinas consciousness in Naruto’s seal n did a reaper death seal on top of it…. This has to be the greatest sealing feat in the series…
Based!!!
has anyone else ever even split a seal like that? let alone combined three seals rapidly, to such a genius effect! logically it's kinda brilliant too, like actual good writing for a shonen show that works within the logic of the universe. seals half of it in naruto to make sure he isnt consumed before he knows how to deal with it since it's the strongest tailed beast and also famously one of the least cooperative for a jinchuriki, seals the other half in himself to carry over to the consciousness seal for himself and his wife so naruto can one day get their help when it's time to confront it within him(even just foreseeing this alone in the heat of the moment is insane), and uses the god damn REAPER DEATH SEAL as a method of delivery to MAKE SURE all of this goes through, knowing their conscioussnesses are at least safe to begin with from the first two seals. he's like the ultimate D&D player with this level of rules lawyering. he even layered the damn thing like a house made of sacrificial love. fuckin art man
For the hashirama statement, I think kurama is referring to the fact that minato is able to suppress his power while not being an uzumaki or using wood release which is a biju suppressant. So minato’s skill level is that impressive and the only comparison to him is hashi
That's pretty insane since by then he also knew of Madara as well as the Uzumaki's BEST.
@@blackmage665 True although since kurama explicitly refers to hashi and not madara, you could imply wood release and uzumaki sealing > ems genjutsu but I think that’s unnecessary
@ryantavakoliyan948 Because comparing to madara dont make any sense. Minsto has godlike sealing and hashirama could tame and seal them eith wood style even gifted the bijuus to all nations is like you say itachi has godlike sealing because he is a genjutsu god. Genjutsu not really works the same
regardless, this puts minato in an even higher tier than we previously thought of. So those battles against yellow mask obito and raikage were actually a stomp.
@167kinggam Not really. Also for me it put him even way lower. You can say what you want and ofc he didnt teleport away from kishina because he wanted to keep thr seal intact. Doesnt change the fact that he wasnt able to avoid or defend his slam besides getting almost oneshotted by kyuubi
I think Minato's main strength is his heavy reliance on pragmatism. His main skillset is his speed, skill and his kunai. Keep in mind that most of his techniques doesn’t require hand signs which means he not only minimizes his periods of vulnerability, but he can instantly punish those who rely on jutsus with handsigns all the while keeping at least one hand free. What he lacks in firepower and flashy techniques, he more than makes up for with full effective use of simple techniques. And the fact that one techniques relies on a mark that stays with you forever means that once he's tagged you, so long as he's still breathing, you're basically screwed.
Most if not all non faughter tier ninja he faught also didnt use hand signs either
-- so...Minato is basically the government who is watching us through air tags. Better get that tin foil hat on
I would say rasengan is flashy
I feel like he could at least contend with Hashirama or Madara and even Rinnegan Obito (not the tails ) in regards to a battle.
Wood Jutsu that changes the environment? Teleport away from the field.
Jutsu that are massive golems of chakra? Teleport attacks away or the golem itself (if base Edo could casually teleport a Ten Tails Bijuu Bomb)
True Several Thousand Hands will be useless if Minato already, and most likely, tags Hashirama with FTG, so he could just teleport straight to Hashirama.
Tailed Beasts or Gedo Statue? (Teleport Away). Kamui? Teleport away.
He's like a hard counter to all non-six path characters
Make me rethink of how confident Minato was when he thought the mask man was Madara Uchiha he wasnt scared he was ready to run the 1s with Madara his name alone shook the 5 kage scarred
Upscales Obito by how Minato still called him dangerous in his mind
this obito had guruguru in him and didn’t use his jutsu😂 i personally believe if he decided to keep fighting minato, he would’ve killed him
@@bigcarnotaurus8857🍆🚴♂️
@@jashaunowens2907 you probably are one the npc’s saying “minato blitzed obito”
this is a reasonable take btw
With the new one shot Manga information out I don't think obito had a chance Minato just had a baby and had to protect kushina and naruto and release the 9 tails all in a few movies and recognize how Obito kamui work instantly that's literally obits only hack and if it's useless he would not have lasted which he didn't 1 rasengan sent him running
Man, I wouldn't mind a Minato mini-series. Maybe a tankobon or two of his missions and a little more depth into his character and his era. That would be cool.
Great Idea
Well wee had the chance to see it in the new one shot but it was more focused on Kushina than it was on Minato
@@Not-Batmanthe problem is that it was short so kishimoto can't explain everything
The coolest thing I like about Minato's fighting style is that it's all single-target based. He has basically no huge-AOE jutsu like so many other characters. He solos out one target at a time and hit them with as much power as he can, usually hand to hand with Rasengan.
I think Hiruzen's fear of Minato over Hashirama just comes from a time when the intended power scaling of the Hokage was different. Early-mid Naruto had a theme of "generational growth", with each new generation growing stronger by using and improving upon knowledge/techniques of the old. It would have made sense for Minato, the then most recent Hokage whose life had unfortunately been cut short, to be the strongest and most feared.
Unfortunately it ended up growing a bit messy with Madara being a BIG deal, which meant Hashirama needed to be a BIG deal. And then it spiraled.
I want you to think about this. Would you rather fight 2 Hokage and your student that you know you can handle or have a 3rd hokage join that will make it much harder or impossible?
Scaling is consistent. What made Minato more of a problem was his speed.
@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954it's not
This understates, that even if Hiruzen could fight minato, how disruptive minato would be in a fight like that. So much of Hiruzen vs Orochimaru is static planning. And with someone as quick as minato on the field to deal with, Hiruzen would have had an Aneuryism trying to strategise against Orochimaru while dealing with a teleporting god. Be the equivalent of putting a bee by shikamarus ear while he's trying to figure out how to win the 4th ninja war.
That's a horrible analysis of the situation, Hiruzen literally just didn't want to fight ANOTHER Hokage on top of everything else
I can't help but feel sorry for every single opponent in universe who fought Minato before his untimely death. Especially those who fell by him.
Bro imagine someone who saw him,got away,went back to his hideout only for minato to comeout of nowhere and squadwipe them because he didn't even notice minato marked him the second he saw him
he ran from the 2 tailed beasts

Except for Obito who now gets mega upscaled
He’s is on a power level Itachi fans think Itachi would be at if he was healthy. Also if not already mentioned in the video him and Itachi I think had the highest scores at the academy in history I think
Obito at fourteen fighting a older and tank a more stronger Minato Rasengan itachi over Obito my a s s
Obito would slurp up Itachi honestly
Tsukuyomi gg
@@yokuutsu9097 Kurama and Minato though Obito was Madara just by what he displayed with Minato calling him dangerous Obito stonks going up
@@gameuniverse5973 A much older Obito literally said that Itachi while NO LONGER ALIVE could’ve killed him with two Amaterasu which had him screaming in pain if he “knew about his secret” (definitely Izanagi considering that Obito couldn’t Kamui away Torune’s bugs). Stronger is one thing, but can we please just be objective and not act like Itachi is nowhere near Minato’s level. The only time we see him actually try when not near death he blitzes and seals away full power Nagato that had just absorbed a ton of Bee’s chakra.
Minato's nickname has to come from his bodyflicker because flying raijin has no effects it's instant so saying he's a yellow flash because you see his hair doesn't make sense because he would be too fast for normal soliders to see but if he is using bodyflicker you would see his colors and his yellow hair is the most distinct thing about his color scheme because he was wearing a jonin outfit so yellow was the best color for people to recognize him
Or he has yellow hair and moves to places at an instant “yellow flash “ he fast but no where near the fastest without ftg
Shisui is faster in terms of bodyflicker
@@jayash2957 shisui is featless you can't just assume he's faster than all the first four hokage
@@jayash2957 and as that ninja said if you blink you'll miss him but if he uses bodyflicker you should see a trail of his yellow hair
@@jayash2957 his body flicker is better than Shisui's. Shisui isn't the best ever at it, just the greatest of his generation (the one after Minato)
Minato is so strong that he managed to influence people on Meta-Level so that they would pick him for a One-Shot
Wrong. People were manipulated by channels like this one, urging them to vote for Blondie, so that they could make hundreds of powerscale videos about new "facts" about this "shinobi god". Because the fanbase of this creature is completely nuts, not even remotely comparable to Itachi's fanbase.
@@categorialimperative4182 In what way?
@jaideepshekhar4621 man literally teleported a nuclear blast away from the village, and minutes later turned his back on the monster that shot it at him. Even though his wife was fighting for her life to restrain him, and his son was 20 ft away, with no people able to play security if needed. All 4th had to do was mark the damn fox while it was tied down, and he would've been able to blink it away and back no sweat... but I stg this MF is worse than Goku from DBZ when it comes to getting caught lacking
I think another point to consider when minato clashed his rasengan with kurama, it's that kurama was still building up the biju bomb so it can't be said for sure that it's at full power, but nevertheless Minato is a goat.
That or it could be that he was doing the version that he shoots but keeps in front of his mouth. So it could still be fully charged but instead of shooting it he kept it near his mouth
I don't have a clue what swag was on about pushing kurama back with that rasengan lmaoooo
@@asriel3564 you can see the small chakra orbs still going into it on the panel where they are clashing, it wasn't complete.
Dude kurama clearly intended to blow them away with it, the rasengan atleast did something since if it didnt, kurama would have taken over kushina, since even with her chains on him, he was still able to pull out a bijuu bomb, and even if you say ninetsils was weaken by the chains, kushina is only 15 shes not as strong as she was in the future, and would have died if minato did not do anything, so minato while holding him on the outside, battle him on the inside and is compared to hashirama
@@momotheone9700 💀
Probably about as strong as the fourth hokage. Maybe even a rival for narutos dad too

Dare I say this is a Perfect answer
I bet he even beats Naruto's son's grandpa
@@RipleySawzen woah woah woah, let’s not get carried away. There’s no way that himawaris brothers moms husbands grandmas son is as strong as minato

As a Minato fanboy, I enjoyed the one-shot a lot, and I’m seriously glad he won the poll. I do feel that it was essentially a way of Kishimoto retconning his retcon of *NOT* making the Fourth Hokage the strongest to have ever lived. Of course, he still isn’t the strongest, but I’d say this one-shot was Kishimoto’s way of saying “hey I nerfed this guy on purpose during the war but don’t get it twisted he’s HIM”. Just to remind the masses that he’s still top 3 non-SOSP characters (imo). Still would’ve preferred if they didn’t nerf him into the ground, but the one-shot made me happy!

@@mightguy3118 who asked?
Glad we’re getting to see how much cooler minato is than we already thought. Bro was a living legend
I think Minato's issue with Sage Mode is a combination of it not meshing well with his fighting style (which is all about maneuverability and Sage Mode requires even masters to hold still for a few seconds) and his habit of being too humble about his abilities (which plays into his tendency to hype up other shinobi that he could most certainly slaughter in seconds like the Sannin who in their base forms are around the level of sick Itachi if we go by databook 3's statistics).

@@adonisbarlay3292 lol right. Like how do people watch itachi one shot orochimaru, and easily handle nagato, whom sage jiraiya lost badly against
@@Kryptic496 Read before jumping down someone's throat to protect a well-written but overrated fictional character. I said third databook stats (which covers up to the end of the Battle Between Brothers arc aka sick Itachi) which says that both Itachi and Jiraiya have a stat total of 35.5/40 while Tsunade and Orochimaru have totals of 35/40. From a purely statistical standpoint, at the time of Itachi's fight with Sasuke, he was in the same tier as the base forms of the Sannin.
@@Kryptic496Itachi is not low diff Jiraya especially when uses sage mode. Itachi literally has no counter for it, he doesn’t need to see to fight

The minato manga chapter was so well written, wow! So impressed and had a smile on my face the whole time. Super heart warming seeing how many lines it connected with the lore of naruto
My personal theory is hiruzen was scared of edo minato because he knew minato is the only person there who could've left the barrier without breaking it with all the ftg seals he has around the village. He could've just left on orochimaru's order and wreak havoc on the village. Hiruzen couldn’t have done anything because he would've been trapped in the barrier.
And before anybody mentions it. I don’t think tobirama had his seal spread around like minato did. Because if he did he could've just teleported his team to safety instead of sacrificing himself to let them escape.
Minato was not in the coffin. Minato was sealed in the reaper its impossible for him to have been in the coffin
Yeah the reply is right minato was in the reapers stomach hiruzen just says he’s lucky he doesn’t have to face minato along with the other 2 hokages
@@Kryptic496 It's Schrodinger's Minato; he simultaneously was, and was not, in the coffin. On one hand, Minato was obviously SUPPOSED to be in the coffin, because, who the hell else would it be? On the other hand, he couldn't have been in there, because of what you just said. Honestly, it's probably best for all of us that the coffin never opened.
That being said, Orochimaru really used that ability in the dumbest way possible. Like, he really didn't need to wait until he got all the way to Konoha to summon them; there's no on-going cost to using Edo Tensei, and there's no range limit on the user's ability to control them. And he super didn't need to summon the 3rd one in front of the other two, he could have summoned them all in a row, and it would be much harder to stop.
@@Kryptic496 Minato being sealed in the reaper is a retcon. At that point he was suppose to be in the coffin. Every information we got points toward him being in the coffin.
@@MrGeorgeFlorcus Orochimaru was lead through his ego. theres a reason why he waited till Hurizan was an old man. he was overly confident about beating him. so much so he got humbled by losing what he loved the most. his arms.
If you have fought yourself you know that difference in speed is mostly based on reaction time, the time you take to actually move is the least important part. So thats probably what he excels at
You cant compare real life martial arts combat to an animes combat where the hand to hand style is opening limiters, veins popping spewing out blood, kicking so fast that there are hundreds of afterimages and litteraly imputting enough jewls of force to cut a mountian in half. The same principales dont exist.
love to see a new vid swag feel like i haven’t watched you in years
Crazy I just started rewatching over this last week and u drop on the weekend, good man.
When he said doppleganger I think they were referring the edo btw. That’s why they used both of them as opposed to just 2nd hokage or minato.
i didnt think i could love minato any more than i already did but that chapter had me so hyped i started hyperventilating and having a small panic attack from excitement. it was crazy
Common Himnato Rizzikaze W
Kurama s statement could also imply that minato has similar talent to that of hashirama but because he can’t use wood style nor use a perfect susanno nor dose he have kcm pre death he can’t fully attain nor surpass hashirama’s nor madaras level of power
talent is the best interpretation of that imo bec its the same moment kurama references him augmenting the uzumaki seal. uzumaki were well known for there sealing jutsu.
so it probably reads something like "wow, a kid is augmenting an uzumaki seal? this kid is as talented as hashirama if hes doing stuff like that."
That’s my thoughts cause he clearly states “despite not being an Uzumaki” which means it’s probably a near impossible feat for anyone not an Uzumaki.
So much 🧢🧢🧢 no it means at 12-16 yrs old minato is comparable to the 1st. Rather its charaka levels or pure power a non prime Minato was compared to the 1st.
I assume he means not just talent, but potential. And he didn't even see Flying Raijin. Calling Minato to have the potential of Hashirama without even seeing his most busted move.
I like that outlook

Minato's feat of cancelling out the 9 tail's bijuu bomb makes Obito's durability look even more insane. He got slammed directly with Minato's rasengan when he was significantly stronger and Obito survived. On top of all of the crazy shit Obito survived in the war, he's an absolute tank.
Most importantly don’t ever forget the fact that Hashirama is composed of 100% of Hashirama cells !
Fourteen year old Obito over pain and Akatsuki itachi easily
@constantinus719 that's pretty crazy to think about
Ofcourse hashirama cells the greatest plot device ever
Tbf he was hit exactly in the part that was already entirely Hashi cells. Had he been hit on the other side, no fourth great ninja war.
No stupid cheat abilities (other than maybe Sage Mode). Just "regular" techniques, that theoretically anyone can learn, and he's just so damn strong. I always defended him when it came to discussions about whether or not he is on-par with Hashirama and I'm glad the new manga gives him the edge. He deserves it and the series needs a top tier fighter that doesn't just rely on cheats. His fighting scenes were by far the coolest because of all that and he's therefore my favourite character.
FTG is a cheat
Cough cough EIDA
He’s not on par with hashirama and that’s okay he’s my favorite character too. He’s like the next legend in the series. The 1st hokage and Madara are the greatest of all time and they were earlier, while minato is known as the greatest ninja ever since the start of villages.

@@braindead3919but you can’t dent that both Hiruzen’s successor and Tsunade’s predecessor are also incredible
My interpretation, and honestly the only one that I think makes sense for Minato's Sage Mode is that Jiraiya has the body for it but not the skill, which is why he can maintain it imperfectly, while Minato has the skill but not the body, which is why his form is perfect but lasts for like actually 5 seconds, which would explain why he has a Perfect form that he himself states he has never used in combat.
This interpretation is incorrect, if Minato didnt have a body that could tolerate Sage mode. And yea definitely more skilled than Jiraiya at Sage mode since he can enter it without help which Jiraiya cannot. But the point is that building chakra to summoning two toads and then having them fuse with him to hold Sage mode is just not something that is useful to Minato.
@@hobbyhorse5848 You haven't said a single word to disprove my statement.
I also find it LAUGHABLE that you believe Sage Mode was useless to Minato, and what's more that you actually think MINATO would believe Sage Mode was useless to him, seeing as how he FUCKING DIED because he wasn't strong enough to take on the Kyuubi 1v1. You also think Minato is such a dipshit as to gamble his fight with "Madara" simply because Sage Mode was so beneath him? That's fucking stupid.
Simply put he didn't think to use shadow clones like Naruto. But really if he did use it hed be op. Minato is only a step or so behind the 1st. Add sage mode and its arguably gg
@@johnsonjohnny675 Bud, he can't even use *regular* sage mode for more than 5 seconds. He's not even slightly equipped to use Naruto's Shadow Clone method for Sage Mode.
Its actually just another retcon. Even if no one's ever actually seen him DO it, every elder toad mentioned that Naruto was the first to master perfect sage mode, something even his teacher couldn't do. If Minato could've done the shit THE WHOLS TIME, why didn't a SINGLE one of those bastards say anything about it?
Plus in that fight, Minato NEEDED sage mode or else he wouldn't be able to do a damn thing against Obito. He'd be nearly useless. And you know we can't have The Yellow Flash of all people being sidelined lmao
Him having perfect tailed beast mode was already 100% BS as it was. And he was already the strongest one there apart from Hashirama. Did he really NEED all of that OTHER than to give him a reason to upstage everyone and remain relevant in that one particular fight where his kit wouldn't work instead of giving him literally ANY other task that he could've done with his eyes closed?...
My man's so fast that he decided to die faster than the rest of the hokages.
3:30 into the video and its just like damn you still got it to this degree. Just too satisfying bro. I haven't watched a vid in forever
So hyped to hear Swag spit some facts about the goat 🐐
As far as that Viz Translation, context is also important. You sort of gloss over how he mentioned the Uzumaki Clan. Sure, Kurama mentions how Minato isn't even an Uzumaki, yet he's augmenting the tetragram seal in his own style. And then he calls Minato a most powerful shinobi, ranking alongside first hokage Hashirama, and says "unbelievable..." It's in that line, in the word unbelievable, that I think it's the most important clarification for what Kurama means. It might not necessarily mean "Minato is on par with Hashirama, they should totally do a 1v1 for the fans to argue over" he means "I am Kurama, the Nine Tailed Fox Demon, no mere human, shinobi or otherwise fazes me. THIS shinobi has done something so incredible and unexpected, that he has even surprised and impressed me, the only other shinobi I have ever encountered to commit such an act was first hokage Hashirama." Like, he considers Minato comparable to Hashirama BECAUSE Minato did something KURAMA HIMSELF described as "unbelievable". So I don't necessarily believe Teen Minato was like, as strong as the Hashirama Kurama remembers and references, but it's more along the lines of what you said, that they are cut from the same cloth, incredible shinobi that stand out among their peers, so powerful that they must receive acknowledgement from the greatest tailed beast.
I was patiently waiting for Swag’s video about this topic to come out
Great video bro, nice break down of Minato. People sleep on how insane Minatos sealing powers were
I thought the difference between Minato and Tobirama in Flying Rajin was the amount of seals he can have as well as how fast he can activate it (without handsigns, while lesser users need handsigns, and others even need multiple people in a ritual and a long string of handsigns).
Really enjoyed this one Swag. Would love to see more solo type videos from you in the future. Whether you’re explaining something or just giving your thoughts on something.. the gameplay footage used in this video is also very refreshing and adds to the quality a LOT. Keep it up! 🫡
Dude has insane chakra, 3 chakra natures, and mastered the flying rigin and even is able to teleport a whole biju bomb. He created the rasangon, mastered Sage mode witch gives him extra strength, speed, durability, and senses. He can also use his nature chakra to upgrade his jutsu. He can also summon the toads and the reaper death seal and he knows multiple uzumaki seals. He evens has the nine tails that gives him access to kcm1, and kcm2.
I really missed your solo videos nice change of pace
Loved the video!
Its cool how he can move so fast and still process that speed in his brain. Like for someone whobis without a sharingan or byakugan, his eyes sure can see everything faster than most (if not all) doujutsu users
Sensory ability + Fastest brain processor > sharingan
Regarding Minato being of Hashiramas caliber is hard to believe, but it makes some sense. His trump card, flying thunder god literally requires multiple trained shinobi to use to teleport the kage to the battlefield. Here we have minato passing it around like candy, so his chakra levels have to be pretty insane.
Lol you're arguing with Kishi's words?AHAHAHAH
@@davidbolumbu666 No. First reaction for me was that he doesn’t possess the same level of destructive potential but then I realized that not everyone’s gifts manifest the same way. Minato literally speed cliffs almost every ninja before sixth paths characters, and that alone puts him in a league of his own. Add the intelligence, immense chakra levels, sealing Jutsu and strong will, and Kurama is right.
Great video like always keep it up.
Great vid Swag-sama
This is cool and all but I would’ve LOVED to see a Ashina uzamaki one shot :( would’ve loved to see more about the uzamaki clan.
Remember when people used to say all Minato had for sealing was the reaper death seal lol
Glad you back
The slight shade with the thumbnail. I love it
I like to think that when Tobirama said his Shadow clone's flying raijin is too slow, he's referring to how the clone would take too long to initiate the jutsu. I think Swag is right in saying there shouldn't be varying degrees of speed when it comes to teleportation so, I imagine that Tobirama is talking about how using the jutsu will take too long to complete.
Tbf Teleportation does have Different Levels in Fiction for Example Chaos Control From Sonic is Irrelevant Speed since it's beyond the Concepts of Time and Space instead of just infinite Speed so I think it's Fair to say Minato FTG Being Faster could be Plausible
4:44 YES YES YES. Been debating a lot of people acting like it’s a flying raijin only not his combat/reaction speed
You just earn a sub this vid is very informative
When will we get a second part to your yugioh competitive video? The first part was so well made and really enjoyable.
As strong as Kishinoto needs him to be. Seriously, my one complaint is that Minato totally feels like a DMPC capable of anything.
I mean to be fair, he literally wasn’t capable of outright defeating Kurama and saving his wife’s life.
Granted, his failure there is the entire reason for the plot, just saying it’s not like he can do ANYTHING lol
@@brandonreed3670 Yet people wanna argue that he is stronger than Hashirama who literally could one-shot Kurama, lmao
Dmpc??
@@Nards_1997 Google??
@@Nemesis_T-TypeThat’s favoritism talking, deep down they know Minato could never beat Hashirama lol
The fact he did all this against the 9 tails and stop the tailed beast bomb which a resengan he just learned to use is insane
Swagy. Always good to hear your voice.
I love every damn video from this channel lol
Naruto already had the formula on him from when he was a newborn. That’s how Minato was able to get to the battlefield so fast right where his son was, I believe.
Minato as a jounin was already Kage level. Jonin minato at age 15 was already making Kurama struggle 😂😂
woooo swagkage video
Welcome back ❤️
Damn. Kishimoto really does still have it art-wise, but the guy _still_ can't write romance to save his life. 😂
Idk I thought Minato and Kushina’s romance was fine in this chapter
It's very hard to believe that with the firepower that Minato is shown to have in his manga as a teenager, for him to be unable to one shot teenage Obito as a Hokage.......something ain't adding up.
Yeah because he aint even cloae to kurama. The bijjuuboms wasnt even as big as cho odama rasengan. Infact even hokage minato cant beat kurama lmao
Obito Upscales Brrrr!
@@barbarroxHokage Minato literally Beat Kurama with Low Chakra Reserves Mate with an Justu that is essentially GodTier since its implied even Ishikki would be killed by the Reaper God
I gotta appreciate the "catch me if you can" instrumental in the video. Love that song.
I love how you can tell swag plays fighting games at 1:10 start up and end lag 💀 great video :)
I am confident in saying that quote from Kurama is only about his sealing prowess. It's a similar quote to Madara complementing Gai's physical prowess.
Hokage Minato>Pre Massacre Hiruzen>Old Man Hiruzen~Adult Hokage Naruto
Old Man Hiruzens Power got Retconned by the Boruto Anime iirc you can use this Buff Jiraya and Pain at Full Power(Unlike in the Leaf) as well
@@percivalknightoftheflames855Nahh Naruto def surpassed Minato during the war arc, even Kakashi said it (4th’s student)
16 Year old naruto had kakashi saying “Jutsu that surpassed the Fourth are well in his range” Adult hokage would destroy Minato
Fun fact in the 9th databook, minato was stated to be hokage level by age 14 and highest battle iq in the history of shinobi world. Go look it up.
Wait, u got the link?
i mean naruto was a kage level when he fought a full 1 tails and beat him without any chains or a thing
@@falconx4803Kage lvl and hogake lvl aren't the same tho
There isn't a single hogake that naruto could beat at that time not even close and tbh he probably wouldn't touch many of the kage like A or people that are Sanin lvl etc
@@stfu5013 i agree but i'm just saying that it impressive how naruto manage to beat neji & 1 tails in the same day and then processed to learn rasengan after 😂😂
@@falconx4803 Neji is the biggest statement merchant in the show tho🤣
BEAT WAITING FOR THIS TO DROP!! WOO!!
I love the storm impact footage
That was one of my favorite games of my childhood, played the shit out of that on PSP back then
Love it
The scene in the war arc where the hokages came to battlefield. Minato actually got there first, teleported a bijuu bomb from the ten tails and even chatted with Naruto and Sakura before the other hokage got there.
Also hiruzen got there before tobirama then hashirama. So i think tobirama's teleportation skill made him the fastest in his time and not his body flickering technique.😅
I just figured that what he meant is while he can use perfect Sage mode he just can’t use it for prolonged amount of time and only in bursts. It’s wild to think he did all that training with the toads and semi mastered Sage mode but realized it wouldn’t help his overall fighting style so he just gave up on training it more to last longer
Welcome back!
Swag can u plsss make more vids on Minato he’s my fav character. Just make more recent vids in general. Keep it up ❤❤
I’ve always personally thought the main reason hiruzen didn’t want any conflict with Minato is that his kit and specific skillset just really hard counters hiruzen at this stage of his life. Hiruzen at this age struggles with making more clones, which divides his AP even further. That extra clone could be devastating. Also, minato if he tags him kinda just ends the fight with his lack of durability and speed disadvantage. Orochimaru clearly made them a lot more brain dead so they would even fight hiruzen, but the downside of this is it makes him way harder to use tobiramas advance raijin kit. It’s a weaker version then minatos and it’s just easier to spam aoe attacks that force hiruzen to waste chakra. Minato though since his base speed is higher and his kit is just an easier flying raijin into rasengan and that’s a real wincon vs hiruzen at this age is simpler to execute.
it's more than at that point the concept of naruto was that each new generation surpass the precedent, 4th was thought to be the strongest Hokage ever, and 3rd was stronger than 2nd or 1st (that's why his "supreme technique" was growing trees). It was how was written the manga originally but then things changed because the power scaling went numb and because Madara was the final antagonist so Hashirama had to be a big deal.
@@anathos0369 If the fourth war arc was written like an actual war and wasn't just overhyped bullshit and asspulls, then it would have been consistent but no.
The Minato glazing is insane!
Can’t even call it just glazing now, Kishi made the one shot and my man stopped full kurama with a single reasengan lmao
The way I saw it was Minato’s potential was on par with Hashi’s and when he became hokage he lived up to it. Feats show it, statements show it, Kishi still retains that belief long after the story is over as shown in this. Minato is just him. The prodigal son. Hashirama’s near or complete equal. At the very least, it’s safe to say now Minato is the second most powerful hokage by a large margin and is at the top echelon of non-sage power people, on the level of living Madara & Hashi.
@@J99___ noodles debunked this video though😭😭😭
@@J99___he might be as skilled as him but doesn’t have raw strength Hashirama has let’s not forget for he has natural healing factor as well. Plus he can keep up sage mode basically indefinitely.
The king has returned
If Kishi ever does another one shot it would be cool to see one about Tobirama. Maybe then we can see how he died in the 20 S rank ninja battle
Strong enough to clash with the ninetails possibly before learning sage mode💀 that flee on sight order was warranted
and get finger nailed and blitzed by kushina

Clashing a Tailed Beast Bomb from Kurama with a base rasengan as a teenager is one of the craziest feats in the entire series.
What I don’t understand is if his rasengan is that strong why didn’t it obliterate Obito?
@@donovan4222wasn’t his intention perhaps?
Anime/manga power-scaling and feats are kinda stupid since there’s continual contradictions.
X
@@donovan4222cause obito by that point with hashirama cells is probably not too far off the realm of being tailed beast level.
Edit: also I think people forget Minato must have been exhausted or running low on chakra because before anything even happened. He was trying to contain the nine tails during Kushinas pregnancy.
@@MrWingzeroo I don’t think this is true though because a tailed beast bomb is like a nuclear blast, it would vaporize Obito if it hit him directly. Yet he only loses an arm to Minato and there is no collateral damage to the environment. Also, Minato wasn’t exhausted because he had enough chakra to seal the 9 tails right after this.
Only thing that make sense to me is either Minato couldn’t fully charge his Rasengan all the way because he needed more speed, or the tailed beast bombs aren’t as powerful when Kurama is charging them up and they haven’t been released yet.
He didn't actually do that, though. Not physically, anyways.
Just wanna say, dope video but I especially wanna give brownie points for using Capcom VS SNK 2 Newyork stage theme at 4:59 made me really happy.
W, swag new vid
Only thing I can think when Minato says that he's not good at sage mood besides being modest is that he has unlimited chakra while in edo so sage mode might be easier to do
I missed these kind of videos. Solo videos where Swag gets to share his ideas and his interpretation. These are the peak videos.
Where swag shares his cri ge fanboying with showing wrong translation even he was told before snd using part 1 feats to push a narrative lmao never forget swagkage claims kishimoto said madara has no weakness haha
Liked for the Zero Gravity Music🔥
Wake up babe, new swagkage
Easily the strongest Shinobi of his era. Which could already be somewhat gathered beforehand, but after his one shot it's not even a question. Even if you just want to say that Minato had talent akin to Hashirama's, that still implies he could have one day reached similar levels.
People forget that in order to seal someone’s soul/chakra through the reaper death seal you need to at least equal the amount of chakra of the being you’re trying to seal. That means hokage Minato in cannon had the same amount of chakra as half of kurama AND THATS AFTER defeating obito, teleporting a full powered kurama biju bomb AND spamming flying rajin all night . The dude was a fucking monster
babe wake up new swagkage dropped
The sonic music was a nice touch 👌
