They were the coolest team-up in naruto

What has this site come to? You can't even reply to an off-topic thread without a vacation

>trips
Damehada would love to have a taste of that

Right?

I thinks swords that big are stupid.

Since I've had not much else to do during the quarantine I've been shamefully watching naruto after shunning it for years and I just got to shippuden. So far Itachi is lame but Kisame seems pretty cool.
Are the other Akatsuki cool as he is or am I in for disappointment.

They're cool for a bunch of jobbers

Most are jobbers but the leader vs Naruto is a pretty funny fight and Kakuzu was cool for a jobber

>kakuzu was a jobber
>despite also fighting hashirama
you gotta admit, thats pretty sad

Kakuzu/Hidan team is based as fuck, and Deidara is also kind of based.

It might've been a fight he picked and Hashirama spared his life. He claims he survived an encounter with the 1st Hokage

Is he really a jobber though? If not for Naruto and Yamato he was about to kill 4 people at once.

>no "kisame...." memes
What the fuck Zig Forums??

He fought pre-retcon Hashirama, which is a much more believable feat, since Minato was meant to be the strongest Hokage. Pre-retcon Hashirama was not GODSHIRAMA.

Him strangling Choji and Ino while Sakura looked on in horror was funny

I also want to ask, why could guy open the gates when he fought against the kisame body double and be perfectly fine when that almost killed lee?
Just experience?

Shikamaru*

Wait he almost strangled them TWICE? I remember the first time Shikamaru interrupted it. I wonder why he didn't just try to snap their necks immediately. He definitely had the strength for it.

He's used them a lot more than Lee so his body's gotten used to the stress/pain.

No I mean Shikamaru, but Kakuzu did almost solo their squad after Shikamaru and Hidan ran off. Ino and Choji were dead weight

Huh. During the chunin exam they made it seem like an absolute last resort, suicide technique, kinda thing.
But then again I guess that's just shonen for you.

Retconning and power scaling
I think the explanation is that Gaara is actually what fucked Lee up so bad

>Weilding a grape padlepop instead of a sword
Based

GET OVER HERE WHORE

It's a lot worse depending on experience/gates used I think.

The fact that he fought the 1st adds more t the jobbing
> Wow, that new Rasengan is so strong? It defeated the immortal gay that fought Hashirama, that gauy was really strong, if that new power was able to beat him, then said power must be really strong as well!

>be ninja
>turn your back on an enemy
women are a mistake

>new rasengan
It was WAY more than that really.

Kakuzu fight was retarded.
While fighting Kakashi, he was shown to fight intelligently, then when Naruto came he decides to stand still TWICE to let Naruto's rasengan hit him.

He also somehow got tricked by a 15 year olds shadow clones.
