Nah, 9-B physicals, 8-B with ninjutsu7-B+

I’ve never seen someone fighting for their life over Justifications like this before
Completely invalid, yer done kidno references
Slayer said the same thing. You really are made for each other.If this is a surprise you clearly don't know me at all

I'd probably word it something like "Many shinobi like Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, and Ay believe Minato was the strongest shinobi, and the databook supports the idea that he's stronger than anyone alive."I put Arc in a headlock until he agreed we can use this justification.
Shinobi on the level of Jiraiya, Ay, and Kakashi viewed Minato as an “unrivaled talent” even by present their standards.
I think it’s fair enough personally since there is some controversy and room for nitpick around Minato being the absolute strongest.
Reference these hands
What hands, all you can do is post bibles
Yours is kinda long imo. We don’t need to put every single instance someone mentioned Minato’s prowess.I'd probably word it something like "Many shinobi like Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, and Ay believe Minato was the strongest shinobi, and the databook supports the idea that he's stronger than anyone alive."
First Godernet WItachi > Hashirama
Eh sure. Could say "Many people believe that Minato was the strongest shinobi, and the databook supports the idea that he's stronger than anyone alive.Your is kinda long imo. We don’t need to put every single instance someone mentioned Minato’s prowess.
Also it infers that every single one of those statements were specifically meant to mean he’s the strongest when some of them just say things like “best Shinobi” which doesn’t have to mean strongest.
Otherwise Itachi > Hashirama
If you read the context for a lot of these statements tbh you could easily take most of these “best Shinobi” or “unsurpassed talent” statements to also mean the most skilled/highest capacity to grow.Yeeeeeeeeeah I really don't think that's the best example since in that one the context is clearly his character as he hadn't even seen or heard anything about Itachi's combat abilities, whereas the context in all of these statement is combat ability.
Most skilled is really only something that KINDA makes sense for the Jiraiya statement, and for the rest, general combat prowess is clearly the idea (ig the VIZ version of Ay's statement is a bit contentious too, but that's about it). Just because the word "strength" is not specifically used doesn't mean the statements are vague. Highest capacity to grow just doesn't make sense tbh. Naruto's gonna eventually surpass Minato's capacity to grow? Like huh?If you read the context for a lot of these statements tbh you could easily take most of these “best Shinobi” or “unsurpassed talent” statements to also mean the most skilled/highest capacity to grow.
People that interpret it that way won’t get the impression that he is the strongest like you are vouching for. And there’s very little to take these statements to mean one thing over the other.
Which is why we’re compromising and using the statements for how they’re worded verbatim instead of rewording them as the strongest which is more debatable.
Its still a W for you and Papa Minato.
I could've easily argued Minato being higher than I am, but I ain'tNoone:

I think it’s fair enough personally since there is some controversy around taking these statements super literal and room for nitpick around Minato being the absolute strongest.
We don’t use that mental world battle for scaling tmkI find it funny that using this scaling Pain Arc SM Naruto would be able to beat up Bijuus easily. Low key consistent, he beat up Kurama who's much stronger than other Bijuus.
Those are all important for sure, but when it comes down to it, stats ARE the most important part of basically any fighter's capabilities. No matter how skilled or smart you are in a a game of soccer, if you can't kick it for shit, it doesn't really matter. I did say before during the essay wars with Slayer that the statements should be taking other factors into consideration, but strength is most definitely a significant part for Minato to holistically be a greater shinobi than anyone else.

“Best” Shinobi doesn’t have to point to the strongest in terms of raw AP. You can be the best, unsurpassed, sauced up Saxon at what you do because you’re skilled at it, intelligent with your actions, etc. We know that “being a Shinobi” entails more than just AP dick measuring, it entails resourcefulness, tact, skill, intelligence, etc etc, all stuff Minato has in spades. So to narrow down these statements to claim they can only be interpreted as “Minato is the strongest” just isn’t true. Especially for a man who’s mastered a wide variety of jutsu from teleportation, to numerous sealing jutsu, and more. I mean dude can redirect Kurama/Juubi level attacks. Being the best Shinobi does not automatically entail that you are stronger than everyone else. Just as being the best athlete in say basketball, football, or soccer doesn’t mean you can out punch every other player.
So im fine with including those scans with the justification that many notorious Shinobi hold Minato in high regard, but I disagree with saying those scans mean he is the strongest.
I could take using the word best or unsurpassed instead of strongest maybe if it's that big a sticking point.
Stats aren’t the most important part of a fighters capabilities. Depending on your arsenal, your hax could be more important. For example, Azashiro in Bleach physically is like normal human level, but his hax enables him to defeat High 6-A characters. This isn’t dragon ball where it’s all about your power level. However, if you’re fine with “Shinobi like Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Ay believe Minato to be the best/an unrivaled Shinobi” that’s a much better justification than “Minato is the strongest”, so I’d be cool with that.Those are all important for sure, but when it comes down to it, stats ARE the most important part of basically any fighter's capabilities.

Literally is no meaningful difference outside of being anal for word choiceSparkle please explain to me what’s different between “Unrivaled talent even by present standards” and unsurpassed.

Bruh this ain't DB. There's a ton of different ways of defeating someone in Naruto besides power. Especially since we're talking about Minato who's famous not for his strength (that will be Hashirama) but for his speed and teleportation jutsu.Those are all important for sure, but when it comes down to it, stats ARE the most important part of basically any fighter's capabilities.

Talent =/= combat ability. Kid Pre-Sharingan Itachi had unrivalled talent, but that doesn't mean his strength is anywhere near impressive compared to ninja that had reached their full potential.Sparkle please explain to me what’s different between “Unrivaled talent even by present standards” and unsurpassed.

"Those are all important for sure, but when it comes down to it, stats ARE the most important part of basically any fighter's capabilities." Idt Minato's hax is potent enough to override AP. Like FTG just allows him to hit enemies easier, it doesn't actually allow him to damage them, and while I do think his fuinjutsu is really good, it's not like he's ever been shown trying to seal away a human opponent (despite the fact that he rationally should be able to), so it's likely not part of his go to moveset in battles. His MO in battles is basically teleport to an opponent and ram them with a kunai or Rasengan, basically ending fights with AP.Stats aren’t the most important part of a fighters capabilities.

Uh stats include speed. But speed doesn't matter if you don't have a way of putting your opponent down.Bruh this ain't DB.

What you’re not factoring in is that Minato already has stats on the levels of those people, without inherently being the strongest. He can already punch in that weight class, so when you got a bunch of people with similar stats, how do you determine who is better? Skill, intelligence, hax, etc. It’s not like you are arguing from a position of “oh Minato wouldn’t be able to keep up with these guys stat wise”. Minato can keep up with them stat wise, so he doesn’t need to be the strongest, if he’s got other tools in his kit that make him great. Which he does, he’s got good hax and great battle sense. Your position is “oh but if he can’t damage them his hax is meaningless”, lol he can damage them while not being the strongest, because he’s already in the general weight class of “Bijuu level”. So I vehemently disagree that those statements can only refer to his AP, there’s simply no basis for that being the optimal interpretation."Those are all important for sure, but when it comes down to it, stats ARE the most important part of basically any fighter's capabilities."

Getting caught off guard (Kaguya vs Isshiki) and critical strikes (Gentle Fist's main gimmick) is a thing in Naruto. With Minato's speed, it's not that difficult to do those.Uh stats include speed. But speed doesn't matter if you don't have a way of putting your opponent down.
I don't think the Kaguya thing works cause she could've used a dura neg ability or hit him while he didn't even have his battle aura up. And Minato doesn't have smthn like Gentle Fist. But let's not clog the thread up more.Getting caught off guard (Kaguya vs Isshiki) and critical strikes (Gentle Fist's main gimmick) is a thing in Naruto.

Wait what am I doing I'm debating needlessly I'm just gonna accept the best shinobi
