Bruh, have you heard of perspective......?
I have, but the distance isn't large enough to make a big viewing difference.
I think that Gyuki's tentacles' durability is very vulnerable to slashing and piercing attacks and they probably don't have the same durability as Gyuki's body (Kind of headcanon but I don't think Sasuke could slice Gyuki's body in half even with his Chidori Spear like he did with Gyuki's tails). And the sharp weapons in Naruto are considered Godly, they allow users to harm much stronger opponents and they can even harm stronger opponents if the sharp weapons are enhanced with the Wind and Lightning's chakra.
That indeed sounds like headcanon.
The distance between them as well
Yes, all of 5-10 meters.
I didn’t say V2.
Your durability scales to your physical AP. If it didn’t, you’d tear your own body apart by trying to attack. This is noted on the
Durability page.
The claw literally pierced through both of them, they do not scale to that in any way, shape or form. Hell, that claw LITERALLY KILLED THEM.
Incorrect, it is stated numerous times throughout the arc that Naruto is capable of surpassing Minato, and at the end of the arc, Kakashi blatantly says that Naruto wielded jutsu beyond Minato.
Based on what is that false? You can fight someone without scaling to them, y’know. So your cop-out of it being “retconned” is invalid, especially since you provided no evidence to prove that it was supposedly retconned.
I already explained how it did. Minato scales to Naruto’s Rasenshuriken, which scales far beneath Gyūki.
Scans?
Gonna need scans of them claiming Minato is unsurpassable before any of this matters. Also Yagura is featless aside from while he was amped by Obito, so that’s useless.
The jinchuriki weren't in partial transformation though. They were in V2.
Fair enough though I'm not sure that's always true in fiction.
Their durability is not Kurama level, but it's still impressive that they could stop him in his tracks.
It was stated he could surpass him, not that he did. Also Kakashi said Naruto had surpass him, not Minato. Unless you wanna imply Early Shippuden Kakashi is anywhere close to Minato's level which is 110% not true, Naruto was not on Minato's level.
The implication is that it was a real battle that was two sided, given Kakuzu's attitude about it. If he had been beaten severely, he would've not looked so smug about it.
Now that I look at it, the Jiraiya things aren't as solid, but I'll show some scans anyways.
There's also the stuff about Minato's talent alone making Jiraiya think he's the child of prophecy/the savior. But Ay's statement is clear.
If he knew his dad was stronger than Minato, then he wouldn't have said this. There's also another translation that says "A noble man. A finer shinobi never lived," which could be interpreted to be referring to his character, but it's likely these are separate statements since Ay is the type to care about power when it comes to quality as a shinobi, like he said to Naruto before the FKS. This is supported by him later saying "But even so, even with all his
power, why do you think he is not here today to help stop this crisis?"
Yagura was stated in the five kage summit to be able to control his bijuu though.
Overall, there’s zero evidence that partial transformations are equal to the full Bijuu, and the displays of the Edo Jinchūriki directly disprove that notion. On top of that, Minato being on the level of the War Arc Bijuu severely contradicts what is said and shown within the verse itself, and there is nothing saying that B during the Third Shinobi World War = B during Part II.
Nothing about this thread works.
Show me a scan of a PARTIAL TRANSFORMATION jinchuriki not having the parts of their body transformed being on Bijuu level.
Saying Minato being on Bijuu level contradicting what is shown and said is just conjecture. And like I said, Bee is stronger, but his transformed state is always gonna be at least as powerful as Gyuki alone.
Yet you continously don't actually disprove what I say...
