The Official Anime & Manga Thread Vol: 三

Not to say that Kakashi isn't an excellent ninja, but you have to remember that the Rookies developed a lot over the course of the story. She's nothing compared to her teammates or most of the major villains, but lets not forget that Sakura (Along with Chiyo) fought Sasori and won. Shikamaru in turn defeated Hidan. Chouji fought the Gedo Mazo. Lee during the Chunin Exam Arc nearly defeated Gaara, who was a threat to the entire village, and we really only saw a fraction of how much he improved over the timeskip.

shikamaru doesn't have the chakra to really keep up, he wins off of his strategy and brains. (i Love shika btw)

Chouji yes-ish, he just overwhelms with size and strength. The butterfly thing gives him a one up also.

but out of those 2 neither can see Sakura or compare IMO.

Lee yes,

but i still don't think out of those 4 any are seeing Kakashi hand to hand technique to technique skill to skill whatever you want to say. Sakura I feel is the only one who may be able to use her slugs and strength to trap him.

Other than that I think Kakashi is only really under the 3rd hokage at this point...(we all may remember how much I love that dude)

Keep in mind I didn't say they could compete with Kakashi at the end of the series, but during Part 1 and at the start of Part 2. Kakashi at those times was most certainly not competing with the 3rd, and in Part 1 couldn't even stand against Orochimaru without shaking and nearly loosing it.

Kakashi in Part 1 and at the start of Part 2 also had chakra issues. It wasn't until the war that he'd finally gotten over those. So he's not that much different than Shikamaru, but yes the latter does rely on utilizing his techniques in a strategical way. That's why I said if we're judging them on all of their skills as a whole that i'd still place him up there. Shika's the one person who has been referenced with Kakashi in terms of intelligence after all.

Like you said, what strength Shikamaru lacks Chouji then more than makes up for. Physically, Sakura and Naruto are probably the only Rookies stronger than him. I'd also clock him as being faster than Sakura as well. Without Kamui or the Susano-o he gains when fighting Kaguya, Kakashi wouldn't be able to hold off the Mazo like Chouji did.

Lee I absolutely think could take Kakashi on in Taijutsu, as that's his speciality. I'd also bet that he's faster than Kakashi as well once he starts using the Gates. Let's keep in mind that even before using the Gates, when he removes his weights, he's fast enough to physically disappear and unlike a lot of other characters his speed is actually a part of his fighting style. In The Last, he was one of the few people seen destroying a meteor on his own.

Then I don't really think Sakura needs any explanation. Combine her monster strength with her ability to heal from any wound and besides Kamui the chances of Kakashi back then beating her are fairly low in my opinion. Really one punch could end the fight.

Pretty solid chapters for Bleach and Naruto Gaiden.

Just finished the Fish Island volume on One Piece anime. Fantastic volume.
 
Uchiha Shin on his Dr. Genus from One Punch Man steez lol
Wano country preview on the 1st page of OP? (Luffy and Sanji with swords)
I wonder who's going after JB, Ishida or Bazz B x Haschwalth? Does JB already see this?
Good chapters all around
 
One on One I consider Lee, Neji, Sakura, Chouji, and Shikamaru to be able to compete with Part 1 Kakashi without a problem.

Idk..... that's even iffy.. Neji and Lee currently possibly. (but would be a tough fight...) the rest still get washed by pre 2 sharigan kakashi....

Not Part 1 Kakashi they don't. :lol: They've each fought and done well against people equal to or better than him.
 
Naruto Gaiden
Dem flashbacks... :frown:
I do want to know the full story behind Sarada now. Maybe Kirin was a surrogate mother? :nerd:

One Piece
Thats a big fist. :lol:
I want to know more about the initial D already. I'm tired of them teasing about it so much. :lol:

Bleach
So how did Jugram Betray Bazz? Maybe it was because he abandoned his quest for revenge now that he got power. Or maybe it's all a part of his plan.


And there's new Ippo chapters out too! :lol: :pimp:
Sendo nearly decapitated that dude. :lol:
I love the post match pessimism from everyone. :lol:
But also Ippo dropping some knowledge on them too.
Lastly, those ring entrances though. Sick. :pimp:
I hope Takamura wins.

COPY..........................................NINJA................................................KAKASHI.

their is no difference between kakashi part 1 and part 2 aside from War (part 3) Kakashi with the 2 sharigans eyes.

Kakashi is the overall example of a great Ninja.. he doesn't need a Susanno to wash the rookie 9.

who stopping Chidori /Rakiri..out of who you named.... who keeping up with just the one sharigan...?

He would've killed Kazuka if not for him having 4 hearts... im fittin to just say without the gates Lee DEF aint seeing him (which if IIRC didn't he copy the open gates technique in part 1 from when lee did it the first time...)

Neji is the only one who could/'ve give him problems.

possibly slept on Shino. (who I always thought was the 2nd best out of the genin 9)

Plot Twist-None of them have abilities he can copy.

There's a massive difference in basic ability between Kakashi in Part 1 and Part 2. Not only did he gain the Mangekyou Sharingan, but his overall chakra pool expanded. Part 1 Kakashi fought Zabuza and was left out of commision for days, whereas in Part 2 that only happened when he used the Mangekyou, which noticeably put greater strain on him than anything he did in Part 1. Kakashi in Part 1 couldn't do **** against Itachi, whereas in Part 2 he took him on with little problem, managing to plan around and counter Itachi's superior genjutsu. And by the time of the War Kakashi, who couldn't properly use Kamui 3 times without collapsing, used it over 5 times in the same day with no issue, overall fighting far longer than he ever did previously. Come on now, don't act as if the Mangekyou and 2 Sharingan is the only way he improved over the course of the story. Hell, Zabuza was actually a challenge for him in Part 1 and got completely stomped by him during the War.

Chouji fought the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and actually survived blows from it, when beforehand it was killing everyone left and right. Chouji actually DID beat Kakuzu, and his speed was allowing him to move faster than most other people present. ****, Chouji can grow larger enough to get hit with Raikiri and not feel a thing.

Sakura again has super strength that let's her kill Kakashi in one blow and healing that allows her to recover from any injury.

Lee move's faster than the eye can see, without the Gates, and has the strength to break solid rock as well, both of which Kakashi can't do.

Kakashi fights Neji then he has to spend the battle avoiding Taijutsu entirely, and he doesn't have solid long range attacks to end the fight. Best bet is Chidori, which Neji can see coming with Byakugan.

Shikamaru is the only one here whose physical skills aren't equal to Kakashi in any way, as his fight's always rely on the strategies he comes up with.

Kakuzu is Part 2 Kakashi so that's irrelevant. Part 1 Kakashi had trouble with Zabuza and was completely ineffectual against Itachi.

These people will do just fine and I think you're honestly kidding yourself if you think they haven't equaled Kakashi as he was at the start of the story, especially when they've again fought people at the same level who Kakashi at that time was completely washed against. Part 1 Kakashi literally has 2 fights to his name: Struggling against Zabuza and getting stomped by Itachi, neither of which are the best showings in the world.

Is this One Piece thread or Anime & Mang thread? Other things get discussed.

And we've been using spoiler tags heavily for recent releases -- especially on the same day.
