We were wrong about Minato Namikaze...! 

I was editing the captions and my power went out so I lost all the progress I got lazy and now there is the silly captions that don't make sense so... my bad for that.

I think one of Minato's strengths is understanding how jutsus work on fundamental level, which allows him to think on how to implement and improve on them. His understanding of jutsu is where his lame and overwordy sense of naming comes from. He got that engineer brain.

I don’t think minato has bad durability i just think all of his fights have been against gods of the shinobi world

Learning the rasengan in 3 year doesn’t necessarily have to be a recon. It could just mean for three years he been trying to develop a Jutsu for kushina and came to this conclusion after seeing the tailed beast bomb

9 trillion cherokees vs two jinchurikees

I like the idea of Minato being in a similar tier to Hashirama, it straightens the earlier notion of him being the strongest earlier in the story, like what if in terms of power he could be a blonder, less experienced, more poised, more adroit Hashirama without wood style or asura reincarnate hax, with an incredible aptitude for Sealing jutsu

I'm pretty sure you forgot to mention, at least explicitly, that the nine tails Minato was fighting inside kushina was a FULL Kurama. The one that made the Sannin level people quake their boots was only half of him, which makes Minato even crazier. (Although the nine tails was restrained, still)

Regarding how long it took Minato to master the Rasengan, Jiraiya said, "Well, in any case, you've completed the first stage of developing a new jutsu!" You can interpret this 2 ways with it either being that the Rasengan still needed more training to master it or, that he already mastered it & is now trying to add his chakra natures to it like he originally planned to.

It could be that minato had the idea for the rasengan before but when he saw the tailed beast ball and analyzed it. Then he was able to complete it after. But it def sounds like a retcon

I think Minato had the same potential as Hashirama, but he lived for like 20 years only

I think there's a timeskip rather than a retcon and here's why: The chapter opens with Jiraiya in his 2nd war uniform. This tracks with Minato as he should have fought in the second war at a fairly young age finishing his academy years a little bit before that war ended. However, later when we see Minato and him talking to Kushina it almost seems like he's leading his team at that point. Jiraiya has advanced to his third war outfit, which he then keeps from that point onwards and is likely shortly after he returned from teaching Nagato's group. Additionally, Minatos training grounds are full of failed Rasengans so he's been trying it for quite a while. Jiraiya even leaves to apply for a new mission for himself at this point, not for his team. Taking all of this together, I think it's likely most of the 3 years Minato was working out Rasengan was timeskipped rather than retconned.

Remember when kishimoto gave half the nine tails to Minato, and made him a perfect jinchuriki on top of it with full control? Wicked unnecessary 😂

How I interpret the “3 years statement” is that he was just developing some kind of jutsu, and that after seeing a Bijuu Bomb he creates Rasengan. I could be wrong on this interpretation, because I’ve only read the one-shot once so far. But if you want to keep it consistent then I guess this might work

Jiraiya says in the one shot the Minato had completed the "first stage" of creating a new jutsu, which means he hasn't finished creating it yet. It also makes sense since Minato in the one-shot had only mastered the rotation aspect of the rasengan and we know that when Naruto was learning it the first stage he had to complete was rotation

Minato was always meant to be a modern day parrallel to Hashirama… they both were hokage that married the jinchuriki of the leaf… both heralded as gods of shinobi… both died relatively young… both possessed Jutsus that were extremely rare amongst the village… both were the strongest of their era and followed up by a weaker hokage focused more in systematic reform upon their passing

Kurama statements talks about Minato genius like he is a big caliber comparable to Hashirama because he could control difficult things like Hashirama did. It’s not about power or just sealing, it’s more like a globality (power and sealing included)

Watching the Ai constantly spell Minatos name wrong is S tier comedy. Made the whole video hilarious, for me.

Always loved Minato ever since I began to understand his will of fire and such from videos on RU-vid this one shot was just awesome for minato and kushina

Gotta end the day woth another six video. Keep it up my guy 💯👌

This might be the video that takes you to another level. Just starting the video but the title alone let me understand your your thought process. Good shit

These subtitles are crazy ! Apart from that, fantastic video as usual

Yeah I find the idea that Minato was a comparable shinobi to Hashirama is honestly pretty consistent. There's more to being a shinobi than just raw power. Factors such as intelligence, intuition, and other such factors are just as important when it comes to deciding a ninja's capacity. It's why someone like Kakashi, who had very few AP feats aside from the raikiri for a good portion of the series' runtime, was able to consistently compete with S-tier ninja even without needing to use Kamui. I think if we're comparing Minato to Hashirama in terms of overall ability, Hashirama would absolutely cliff Minato in terms of raw power, but Minato would beat him in terms of intellect, speed, and even versatility due to how many different ways he could use the jutsu in his arsenal. Through that lens, when taking EVERYTHING into account, it's pretty consistent that someone as wise and intelligent as Kurama would see Minato as Hashirama's equal as a shinobi.

I tried to listen to other people explain this, but I was really waiting on your video.

Been waiting to long for this but finally

Six with such good content once again ❤

So since no one actually understands what is going on here. Kurama is explaining that having the ability to Augment the 8 trigram seal, a extremely powerful seal that normally only a Uzamaki can do is impressive enough that it ranks him alongside Hashirama. The Uzunaji are the absolute best ninja in terms of sealing and it isn't even close, not even a little bit. So having a Non Uzamaki make a Seal created by them is an absurd feat of skill

I need a video of just minato seeing jutsus and having to come up with ideas for what their name could be cause this guy is mad hilarious.

Here's my explanation which makes most sense to me : Since hashirama was able to collect all bijuu like toys using his wood style which supressed bijuu chakra, kurama seeing that minato was able to subdue his chakra using his seals makes him hashirama level skilled.

Man those subtitles are on point

The subtitles are funny, nice touch

Even tho I completely disagree with this Minato wank, I really do appreciate the ammount of work you put into your videos and go indepth about all arguments and translations. Good work Six Note: Please stop using ChatGPT for translations. I once tried to use it to translate a Databook Page and it was trading Rock Lee's name for Might Guy all pages. And when it refeered to "Eight Gates" it constantly was saying "The Power of Might Guy's prowess". Another translation I tried to do was for one of the summaries in the chapters and for some reason, I don't even know how it came up with that translation it said that "Naruto takes down Gaara with a Rasengan to the head" when he literally didn't even have the Rasengan yet. ChatGPT is wierd af.

i literally just forgot that minato in this one-shot is a teenager, which makes this feat even more impressive

I don't know why we have to pick everything apart all the time. I really like the video and you did a great job with it, I just think we tend to pick at everything. It's just a one shot....we can't expect Kishimoto to remember every detail of his series, lol. Either way, thanks for the video. Also, the fact that Minato was creating this for Kusina, means the regular rasengan we see isn't what it was meant to be. The big ball rasengan was meant to be the normal sized one?

My idea is that Minato finished developing the Rasengan at 17 near the end of the war, him being a year older when he gets his own squad meaning he'd only been Hokage for maximum 5 or so years and dying at 25 years old, so in the span of 12 years he fought 2 Jinchuuriki, developed the Rasengan, mastered FTG, became Hokage, ended the 3rd war by allying with another strong nation, him and Kushina having Naruto and then dying with Minato at 25 years old. (yes, I do believe Minato started making the Rasengan at 13, we know he's been around Kushina since the academy so at the very least, he'd have been 13 as a Chunin and 17 as a Jonin, he'd finish the Rasengan within the last 6 months after advice from Jirayah, making it a 3 and a half year development of the Rasengan and it's impressive considering it takes Naruto the same amount of time to be able to use it without clones or Kurama's chakra.)

The subtitles are amazing.

Damn this is a really good vid

We need to investigate Hashirama like u did here bro since ur expert at it😊

The minato one shot is fire 🔥

I would say this analysis is spot on. While not quite as old and developed during his fight with Minato in the hidden leaf(if we can call it a fight.lol), Obito has proven to be one of the most durable and physically obstinate characters in the series. And Minato strikes him so hard with one rasengan, that Obito opted to flee rather than re-strategize. Couple that with the statements that state Rasengan can carve mountains, alongside Minatos speed which undoubtedly enhances striking power, and you have a Shinobi that is up there with the big boys.

Minato is insane and I want more of these like hiruzen would be cool and there are plenty of other deserving characters like more elaboration on kakashi or itachi I’m sure would also be fan favorites but even beyond the obvious choices I would not mind seeing characters who were more underserved in screen time (cough* swing set) getting their perspectives and overall development confirmed and put on panel

I never understood why some people think all tail beast bombs of all sizes are equal. And also the nine tails being at full power in the seal. They try to misinform. Thanks for the video. Minato still op

These captions are killing me 😂. The rossington instead of Rasengan is killing me 😂 10:30

The captions in the video had me dying Fam lmao

Cool, I saw u we’re working on it like 4hrs ago.

2:45 my interpretation is that Minato knew of Bijuudama and had a basic grasp of how it worked and sought out to replicate it with the Rasengan, but upon seeing it up he lose he got a better grasp of how it worked and was finally able to perfect it

The subtitles are golden.

I disagree with most people on this. I believe any battle in someone's mind is more of a battle of will and not AP. I mean it seems obvious

I love this video so much it confirms everything I said and speculated and I think it makes sense cause minatos rasengan destroyed the battle field even though he didn’t release its full power so he could mark obito . The comparisons of minato hashirama and obito and madara are so good . I think minatos dura is pretty good though tanking that hit .

Minato is honestly my favorite character. His fights are so fun to watch.

Lmfao the subtitles 🤣🤣🤣 "tricky chocobo" instead of "jinchuriki" had me done af 🤣🤣🤣

We need the full series on him!

I chalk up the retcon to either somehow being a time skip or maybe it’s just something Jiraiya told Naruto to make him work harder and the story just stayed every time Rasengan was passed down. I can’t imagine Kishi would forget something like that

It's not a retcon. He was developing the jutsu for 3 years, and he kept on practicing it and perfecting it before the manga. The manga takes place during the time where he perfected it.

Bruh these captions are hilarious 😆

I love when Minato Used his Racing Gun to beat Kurama

I don't think it's a retcon because Minato doesn't claim he's starting to invent a new jutsu. He says he's going away to work on an incomplete jutsu. That could imply he'd already been working on it and had simply failed to complete it until that point in time. Regardless, if you choose to consider this story a retcon, it's only implication is placing Minato on a better pedestal.

W Fucking vid Six bro laid out all the information hella well

I thought I already watched this video, then I thought it was an April Fools, then I checked the date. Boy was I confused. Anyway great video.

I'm so happy my boi Minato is getting the respect he deserves since he's my favorite Naruto character.

forgot to mention that the tetragram seal is enhanced when someone feels love. Mito nailed this logic into Kushina when they were talking. It's also believed because it's enhanced by love, only those who love the bearer of it can enter their space. What I'd like to believe is that the more love you have for the person the stronger you are within the realm and the weaker the tailed beast is. Since the tetragram is still a seal

So I see a lot of people talking about the statement about Hashirama and Minato being about sealing, and even though you addressed your thoughts on this, I have something to add as well. If Kurama was actually talking about only sealing, or the act of sealing, then it’s actually still an incredible statement. Hashirama’s wood style specifically suppresses tailed beast chakra. Like you said, Hashirama himself is not a great sealer, Mito is, it’s his wood style that makes him able to hold back the tailed beasts and hand them out like candy. Considering that, Minato’s normal non-Uzamaki sealing feat is more impressive than using wood style which is just a no diff against tailed beasts. Consider how Madara and 14 year old Obito are both able to subjugate Kurama with their MS. Does that mean that kid Obito is as powerful as adult EMS Madara that was rivaling Hashirama? No, it’s just that MS genjutsu is a direct counter to tailed beasts, just as wood style is. It’s like playing rock paper scissors and Hashirama and Madara are using scissors against the tailed beasts paper while Minato is trying to use paper against paper and still winning. That’s why it’s so much more impressive even if you try to pussyfoot the statement around

I think it was some sort of gag created where since Minato is speed focused on all of his attributes the one place he is slow is by giving his jutsu and techniques ridiculous and long names

These captions are wild.

I think Kishi always wanted the 4th to be the strongest shinobi and he kinda wants that to still be the case

13:32 I think the comparison between Minato and Hashirama is similar to Kakazu fight Naruto with Rasen-Shuriken "surpassing" Kakashi even though in an actual fight that Naruto would be hard pressed to not get a Lightning Blade ran through him or get Kamui'd away to even get the opportunity to use a Jutsu like the Rasen-Shuriken.

Hashirama didn’t need to be proficient in sealing with the Uzumaki clan being one the Senju’s closest allies. It would be more diplomatic for him to ask rather than do it himself. Minato’s doting nature towards Kushina is the first thing to challenge Kurama’s hate. Developing the rasengan & learning Uzumaki sealing techniques where so Minato could support Kushina.

please mess up the captions again this is hilarious

I love how the captions are out of control.

Its important to note that Uzumaki chains get stronger with age of user, so Kushina chains 30s>Kushina teenage chains

There was a 3 year timeskip. You can tell by Jiraiya's outfits. It just makes no sense how a younger Minato could beat the 9 tails then lose to the 9 tails later in life.

I liked seeing the other jinchuriki use a chakra cloak similar to what Naruto uses

10:58 I had no idea that Mushroom's wife, For Me To Uzumaki sealed Chroma into herself and became the first Not Intelligent Jerky.

hey six! i love your videos and im looking to make videos about philosophy. i would like to know what program you use to create your animations & slideshows. Thanks!!!!

Minato naming Naruto: blonde kid, Kushina conceived Uzumaki, Kamikaze tribe offspring of Minato number 1.

These subtitles are something👀

Honestly, I like how the subtitles are absolutely scuffed

They were saying a Prodigy that's God Tier similar to Hashirama Senju. Hashirama was a Senju, which means he was skilled in everything. Most of Hashirama's jutsu was created by him and he could augment the Wood Release for different occasions. Augmenting an Uzumaki Seal is extremely hard, so him doing so is a huge feat. Like Kotoamtsukami augmenting the Talisman Mind Control on Edo Itachi. Or a child who took computer science able to augment an AI's code to make it better.

I think what kurama comparing to Hashirama is not Minato's sealing jutsu ability, but his ability to weaken him. Since, like Hashirama's Mokuton, he's able to supress his chakra. Even though the seal was extremely weakened.

It could be that it took minato 3 years to really master and be proficient with the rasengan in terms of chankra control and the density of it. So as to not expend more chakra than necessary

yo, early to a 6 video

I think its pretty cool that orochimaru is edsentially out here using wish versions of hashiramas jutsus.

I would hope people wouldn't believe Minato punched or kicked as hard as either senju bros.

I like how Jutsu is juice in the caption lmao.

damn minato was good with that racing gun !

1:23 Kinda wild they asked for the nine tails here...

bro the subtitles trippy

It may not be a retcon if jiriya doesn’t feel he actually masters it until three years pass, that or minato felt a similar way- his one time use may not be considered mastery in either of their eyes

People forget that Minato was originally meant to be the strongest Shinobi in history and that was Naruto’s goal to aspire to. He was always meant to be stronger than Hashirama until they started retconning that fact.

Kishi isn't always consistent with drawing ages though cause Kakashi, Obito, and Itachi looked well beyond their actual ages. I think he uses height and build to represent power with some characters. As far as the Kurama statement I believe he's talking about his talent and skill as a shinobi as he wouldn't be able to accurately gauge his power off a seal. He could be talking about chakra potency and quality however Hashirama put a full on raging Kurama to sleep with a palm lol. Hashirama bijuu suppressing techniques are referred to as sealings I believe. Tobimara should also be able to be able to hold off Kurama as well.

God this is exactly why I didn’t want minato to get the manga. Y’all are gassing it

I think that besides the Six Path characters there are 4 Shinobi who can hang with Minato and they are all the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura. And while I don't think Minato could beat Madara or Hashirama, I bet money that he'd impress either of them. Sure he'd lose to them, but he also was a good twenty years younger then them when he died. And he did not have someone to push him to be as strong as those other two. He didn't have that rival who could challenge him push him to his limits and make him grow. Cause he's beating any of the Sanin at 15 or so years old. There is no one alive who can fight him at this level. He is more powerful then 4th Raikage A, to the point the man didn't think anyone could surpass Minato. Give him a rival of similar power and 20 more years and Minato would be the next God of Shinobi.

Ain't nothin like a good ol' ricin gun!

The racing gun

I forgot that Kakashi and Gai were in the background. Thing is, Minato took 3 years to learn the Rasengan. It's a bit of a stretch for him to make an A-Rank jutsu from age 10 so being 15 at best makes sense.

Why did you cancel the bleach video?

Racing Gun is the best type of Rasengan

Bro this is Minato’s Strongest Supporter, Six W

And part of it at least my head cannon is that Kurama isn't saying that Minato is necessarily equal in strength to the first hokage so much as being tactically and technically similar. As in being gifted in both combat and strategically/sealing strong. As it wasn't always that Hashirama was defeating Madara just cause always by pure strength but also part of it Hashirama just had a adequate response. To what was thrown at him is what I sort of feel like what Kurama was referring to. Its like one thing to be able to launch biju bomb/mountain busting level moves but its a whole another thing when you can direct or redirect that level of power takes being a technical and tactical genius. And like in a mindset of where Minato was seriously on a war path good chance Minato could do something as crazy as flat out just teleport one of Kushina's like biju bombs behind enemy lines into enemy villages and like the duo alone in a true war setting probably just detonate enemy villages. Like tactically Minato is serious like messenger of death level of fear.

Minato is just an OG Dragon Ball stan, hence why he keeps trying to put Nimbus in his Jutsu names

Making the 2 Jinchurukis perfect actually substantially give kisame another power boot omg . Every time . Kisame is actually op wtf hah
