Why Kabuto Is By Far The Best Rinnegan User

There's a lot of debate on who is the best Rinnegan user. Among Madara, Obito, Sasuke, and Nagato, it's not going to be any of them. The best Rinnegan user is by far Kabuto. War Arc Kabuto after absorbing Orochimaru is one of the strongest Naruto characters. But, technically he doesn't have a Rinnegan.
But he uses it when he takes over Edo Tensei Nagato's body. He completely controls him during the Nagato and Itachi vs Naruto and Bee fight. After Itachi breaks free of Edo Tensei with Kotoamatsukami Kabuto decides to take over Nagato to try and get Naruto and Bee. And he does extremely well with the Rinnegan, using all Six Paths in only about 20 pages. He manages to completely beat Naruto and Bee in about 30 seconds, who are only saved by Itachi.

[@Fluffyudders]

Kabuto, much like Sakura, is a character whose strength is not in massive reserves of chakra (Naruto) or busted abilities (Sasuke), but in perfect chakra control and supreme intelligence. In fact I would argue that his intelligence is above that of almost every other character, and it's his trump card. The amount of intelligence and chakra control required to essentially co-ordinate a war single-handedly using an army of zombie puppets is unbelievable, and often ignored. Factor into that his knowledge of techniques, and he is the most formidable opponent that everyone seems to forget about. He was truly Orochimaru's disciple, and in many ways arguably surpassed him. Thinking about it now, when he is first revealed as an agent of Orochimaru, it is as a medical ninja, which makes perfect sense given his ability and strengthens the comparison to be made with Sakura (though he is leagues more powerful than her).

Being a spy made him even more unpredictable.

I have been saying this for years. Kabuto taking over Nagato was a buff because Nagato battle IQ is silly low

While I agree that Kabutos BIQ is higher than pretty much anyone in the verse including Nagato, I wouldn't say that Nagatos is low either. Edo Nagato didn't want to fight and the Edotensei Autopilot kind of sucks. Base Nagato, while not on Kabutos Level, was pretty on point.

[@Blubackbub]

@marzipancutter8144 Yes but Nagato also controlled the Pains. He is fooled by every basic ninja trick used against him and he Godes himself into an unnecessary display of power to destroy Konoha which takes his strongest path out of the fight for a long time. Nagato uses his abilities and as pointed out in this video, often in the least efficient way. He is strong because his powers are weird. He is not smart.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@Blubackbub Think on the purpose of that "visit". The unnecessary displays of powers had a purpose, after all he was basically reverse talk no Jutsuing both Naruto and the entire Leaf village. Just like Kabuto, whose purpose wasn't killing his targets but defeating them in a way that lets him gain dominion over his opponents abilities, Nagato was trying to defeat his opponents in a way that breaks their will to fight. Just killing everyone explicitly wasn't his goal, instead it was making them hopeless and dissuading them from the idea of war, permanently. The way he fought and conducted himself was optimal for furthering his goal, and he was pretty strategic with how he prepared for these encounters.

[@Blubackbub]

@marzipancutter8144 that was a philosophical move. Not a battle IQ move. Pain literally gets tricked by every basic ninja deception. Kakashi, Jiraya, Kohohamaru, and Naruto all trick him at least once with a basic move. Because he has 6 lives he is careless. He has no impressive battle IQ feats. Just raw power ones.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@Blubackbub I don't really think those two can cleanly be separated when he's specifically fighting for a philosophy like pain is. I will continue to defend his usage of unnecessary grand moves on that grounds. The fact that he also got outplayed several times during his fights is a separate matter though, and you're right in that he lets himself get hit or doesn't do proper counterplay fairly often. He does do somewhat better at having his paths work together than when they're spread out in different fights, or when he focusses on a single path, but even in the context of having his concentration split on puppeteering 6 Paths, his performance is mediocre. I guess you're right that his Battle IQ may not be extraordinarily high. I'm putting him on the dumbass list right next to but above Obito.

@@allhailytgod7297 so? It doesn’t matter how strong Naruto was because he’s an idiot, he’s never known how to properly leverage his power (like he only ever uses 2 justus). There’s no conflict between in-universe and out-of-universe motivations around Naruto’s character and what he’s supposed to do. Sasuke is a genius prodigy, him not having enough chakra when in the series chakra is basically irrelevant because characters will do whatever the plot demands (see: Kakashi going from fighting straight through the war spamming techniques that put him out for days after a single use). So “running out of chakra” is not a real reason, it’s clearly just an excuse so the entire series’s power scaling isn’t irreparably fucked. So again I ask: why, as a writer, would you give your character a super awesome game-changing power that they cannot use simply because you the writer decided they can’t? That’s bad storytelling, it’s bad writing. There *always* needs to be an organic in-universe and in-character reason for why a character isn’t ending every fight if the audience knows they have the power to do so. There’s no tension if rules for the powers are “they’re used when the writer thinks of it.”

Kabuto: simply the most underrated character in anime history, he was a badass ninja from the beginning, and he is one of the few characters who came really close to becoming literally unstoppable

[@reikolupus136]

Damn, he pretty much BECAME unstoppable. The way they defeated him is a GIANT Plothole. It's pretty much a ball of a lot of different Plotholes gathered togetehr in a single Jutsu. Before that "Izanagi" (Or was Izanami? I always mix the names) was used, he was completely humilliating Sasuke and Itachi at the same ttime. The only reason why they could even keep up and not die instantly was because Itachi was immortal and saving Sasuke constantly. If that Plothole of a Jutsu wasn't pulled out of Itachis's a**, they truly had no way to beat Kabuto. Not even the Sword of Totsuka would have worked, since as powerful taht thing is, they couldn't have actually hit Kabuto with it, he had already easily evaded way faster attacks than it. If we put Kabuto against Madara with Rinnegan and 10 Tails in a 1v1, I'm honestly not sure about who to bet on... That Madara was pretty much a monster, but Kabuto had some terrifying jutsus, including some made of Natural Energy (One of which pretty much beated Sasuke and Itachi at the same time in an instant), and we probably didn't see everything in his arsenal... And he reached that point without natural talent nor hereritary abilities like a Sharingan or Byakugan. Everything he had, he got it through hard work, study, and a LOT of backstabbing. He's the incarnation of Hard Work beating Natural Talent.

It bothers me how much people underestimate Kabuto. They don't think much of him because he was born without any special ability or talent, in a storry where those are EVERYTHING. But the guy, starting from nothing, did EVERYTHING to grow stronger. He learned from teh best, backstabbed the best, worked his ass of to learn and improve everything he could, made lots of research, made lots of lans, and even became a Perfect user of the Sage Mode. And thent o compensate even more being born without any natural talent or abilities, through research and planning he stole a BUNCH of those natural abilities, carefully selecting them to have a perfect synergy between them to become as strong as possible. He was an absolute monster by the end of the series, that when frigging Sasuke and Itachi went to fight him in a 2v1, he completely humilliated them. They couldn't get a single hit, while he constantly left them stunned and severely injured (Itachi fatally injured if he wasn't immortal because of the Edo Tensei). THe ONLY reason why they could defeat Kabuto, was because Itachi invented a Genjustu that isn't a Genjutsu, that would work specifically on Kabuto and nobody else. And the existence and explanation of that Jutsu goes against EVERYTHING the story until that point had protrayed about the Uchiha Clan, it's a giant gathering of Plotholes on a single Jutsu. To be honest, if Kabuto fought against Madara in a 1v1, I'm not sure about who I should bet on...

[@marzipancutter8144]

To be fair: 1. Even with Izanami, Kabuto could have won the fight if he went for killing blows instead of going for greed and trying to preserve his opponents to gain their power. 2. Izanami is a Genjutsu, and it would work on pretty much anyone. It just isn't a Visual Genjutsu, but has different triggering criteria instead. There's plenty of non-visual Genjutsu in Naruto that could have worked in its stead, Izanami just happens to be extremely strong. Kabuto is extremely strong and they did do a huge asspull to end his fight, but the fights outcome is way less reliant on said asspull than people seem to think.

[@reikolupus136]

@@marzipancutter8144 The first one is fair, Kabuto did get greedy there. For the second one, that's where I disagree. Although it would have been possible to use different kinds of Genjutsus on Kabuto, there are ways to deal with Genjutsus like that. And a perfect Sage Modo certianly helps with that. The Liquid Body could also probably deal with Genjutsus based on tact and vibrations like Sound. And even if you get a Genjutsu on him, it's not like getting a single Genjutsu in is the end of the fight. But Itachi pulled out one that would work only on Kabuto and nobody else because of his mental state, And the explanation for that Jutsu not only makes sense, but it's quite a big ball of Plotholes that go agaisnt everything taht was told about the Uchiha until that moment, and after that moment.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@reikolupus136 Hm, I don't think Liquid body would make Sound-based Genjutsus ineffective as he'd still perceive them, which is all they need. Theoretically all Genjutsu can be stopped by shutting down the corresponding sense (Except for the ones that transmit chakra directly into the brain by touch). Hell, Kabuto could have probably shut down Izanami if he shut down his sense of touch, since those were the triggers Itachi was using. The reason Izanami is powerful is because the user can freely choose which sense they want to attack (or even use all at once), but a Genjutsu that's attacking any of the senses Kabuto wasn't protecting (which was only sight during the fight) could have done the trick as long as it caught Kabuto off-guard. What's notable is Kabutos trick of Genjutsuing himself with Tayuya to break out of a Genjutsu. While most Genjutsu other than Izanami would probably be broken by that, they only need to last long enough to make Kabuto open his eyes and get hit by Tsukuyomi, they don't need to be semi-permanent like Izanami.

[@reikolupus136]

@@marzipancutter8144 Nonono, hear me out, the Liquid Body is interesting! A Genjutsu works by provoking a specific sense to receive very specific signals mixed with Chackra. If you make your body liquid, the way you perceive the world would drastically change, and teh way soundwaves pass through your body would be altered significatinly given the difference in materials. A liquid body would have different sensations than sensing things normally through your skin. The jutsu would probably let you feel things in a sort of familiar way, but it WOULD be different. So, THEORETICALLY, the Liquid BOdy would be able to interfere with Sound and Touch based Genjutsu. Maybe they would still be effective to a certain extent, or maybe the change in body composition would alter them in unpredictable ways. But the Liquid Body should protect against those types of Genjutsu. ...The ones I don't think he would have a protection against would be Smell based Genjutsu. Unfortuantely there don't appear to be many of those, which is quite a shame... They would be pretty interesting.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@reikolupus136 That's a very interesting theory, I can see how that would happen. I'm just not sure if Genjutsu even needs the sensory input to be perceived a certain way, or whether they just need to be perceived at all in order for the Genjutsu chakra to enter your senses. There's even Genjutsu that inject chakra directly into the brain and don't need to go through any sense, like the ones that Inoichi and his intel corps uses, or his Yamanaka clans secret Jutsu. So as long as the chakra gets where it needs to be, I'm not sure if it matters if the audio is distorted. Without knowing the mechanics to a deeper degree it's pretty much up in the air if it would work or not. That said, even if Liquid body doesn't work it's not like Kabuto doesn't have other options, like shutting down his other senses. The fact remains that Kabuto can only be put under a Genjutsu if he's taken by surprise, but he wasn't expecting an attack on non-visual senses. What surprises me most though is that Itachi never bothered to learn any other Genjutsu, apparently. It would have been an easy sell to say that the guy who keeps going on about how every Jutsu has a weakness took five minutes out of his day once to cover what may be his greatest weakness, considering most of his non-fodder enemies are actively playing around looking into his eyes most of the time. Saying it now I find it hard to believe that he didn't.

[@TheGhost0312]

Obito didn't seem to have problems controlling 6 jinchurikis while freshly implanting ONE rinnegan. Obito is also a highly skilled individual, but it just doesn't seem like a hard ability too use.

[@shamusfarmer]

@@TheEyez187 I'm not sure that that would make a huge difference... Yes, Nagato needed to be within the vicinity but I always imagined that as a side effect of his chakra rods, like they had a certain range. Of course vastly more superior beings like Madara would have no such issues. But that being said Kabuto could only EVER possess one. And it literally shows his entire mind and consciousness flowing into that one body, as if fully possessing it and leaving his own body. Nagato, with decades more experience manipulating the dead, didn't need to do that. He literally controlled them like puppets, all at once. A feat I think it would take Kabuto a few years to learn, if he ever could... And, most likely, is a completely different thing! Big difference between an Edo tensei and a literal corpse.

[@shamusfarmer]

@@TheGhost0312 Obito is insanely powerful and intelligent. It's not really shown much in the anime, but he is a demi-god level threat. Being able to use the rinnegan at all should tell you as much. The rinnegan, even one, is so vastly far from a joke. It requires a chakra pool that would straight up kill a normal shinobi, even an exceptional one. The rinnegan is basically meant to represent the powers of a true GOD. Look at Pain's attack on the village

[@TheEyez187]

@@shamusfarmer Thinking about it you're right, there is a big difference between the two! I think given time, Kabuto probably could learn how. If you can figure out Left hand moves right knee, right shoulder moves left foot etc [when Vs. Tsunade] on the fly, he could probably have a fairly good mastery of most things he put his time and mind in to? Orochimaru didn't have him around for his fighting prowess; not that that was lacking!

[@jamesdahughes3955]

I feel like the lack of analysis about why Shinra tensei was used to diffuse Amaterasu rather than the Absorption technique is wack. He wouldve incured far more damage with startup time and vulnerability of the Absorption if he were alive, rather than the immediate answer and removal with Shinra Tensei. It's just a far more believable assumption that using his immediate answer is viable since the opponent used their large chakra attack that a 5 second interval isn't a problem rather than "Nagato just isn't the most intelligent character." its just crazy underplay of Nagato's capablity, lets not forget our boy Nagato and Pain had gone undefeated his whole life and mastered all chakra natures before Naruto. Even then he was at barely over half stamina after the Big bang Shinra Tensei he dropped before Naruto showed up.

[@LawlietGohanel]

Congratulations!! Your video is now in my top 5 worst theories. 👏👏

[@dagenight4150]

One of the reasons why we probably don't see the Rinnegan used like this ever again is probably because it can only be used so efficiently and effectively with perhaps an edo tensei body. Infinite stamina and chakra, make it possible to be used so optimally maybe. Madara in his edo form didn't really need to use it because he had Susanoo, and other jutsu at his disposal but did use it when he got cornered by Gaara and Naruto. Even when Nagato, who is a Uzamaki descendant was alive, it took an incredible amount of chakra and strain on his body to use consistently. This could be backed by the fact that Adult Sasuke is usually out of chakra when he uses it too much. But insane props to Kabuto for his incredible strategies and usage of the Rinnegan in conjunction with the Edo Tensei.

[@axl124]

Love a lot of your content bro. I have to say in contrast tho, a known spy with great intel gathering knowing the default abilities of the Rinnegan is just as outstanding as Nagato using the 6 paths of pain. Nagato also used art of Rinne rebirth, so I would say Nagato was better than Kabuto. Just my personal opinion tho. Keep doing your thing DygoKnight

[@marzipancutter8144]

We can't say for sure that Kabuto wouldn't also have been good with Rinne Rebirth. It's just that the technique can't be used by Edotenseis fake Rinnegan at all.

[@axl124]

I agree with you, the down side to that is by the time Kabuto got back to his roots, aka a good guy, the edo tense had been broken and he no longer had control of the Rinnegan. Good guy Kabuto would definitely have used Rinne rebirth I believe, but we didn't get to see that.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@axl124 That's not what I mean, Edotenseis cannot use Rinne rebirth, period. That's one of the established rules of the Edotensei (for some reason). It's not because kabuto lacks the skill to do it. It just can't happen, and it has nothing to do with what Kabutos intentions were either.

[@axl124]

@@marzipancutter8144 I know what you meant. My point is that we didn't see it from him period. Regardless of the reasons or the rules. Even if edo tense could have used it Kabuto, at the time of having control of the Rinnegan would not have used it. Do you understand what I'm saying? And again, this is my personal opinion that Nagato, because we did see him use the ability is better.

[@1DAR26]

13:48 - 14:00 That doesn’t mean Itachi was stronger than two of the most powerful Jinchurikis. That means he was a better tactician than the two at that point of the story.

[@zebare726]

My guess is that Kabuto had a long term tactic for Killer bee and Naruto which involved both nagato and Itachi, but because he didn't know everything about Itachi, things ended as a failure. The question is whether Kabuto should have had someone else with Nagato, considering that kabuto's use around itachi only existed to carry nagato, while Nagato was carrying the fight onto kabuto shoulders.

I totally agree about Kabuto, he is extremely skilled at using the Rinnegan, he seems to be skilled in general at least enough to learn sage mode where Orochimaru failed but Nerfed while showing Sasuke's Indra Susanoo that came from absorbing energy from 8 1/2 bijuu that wasn't his power because they all happened to be in the same place, it's more that he was superbuffed and semi nerfed because he didn't use his full Rinnegan Arsenal...but still the 81/2 Bijuu completely overshadows him not using the Rinnegan fully, that is ALOT of power...Good Video though, I know this is a pretty damn late comment lol

Dude doesn't comprehend that he makes the point of Nagato being the best six paths and rinnegan user even more profound. This just goes to show that if Kabuto was able to do that by suppressing Nagato edo, then the absolute devastation woud have been even worse if Nagato was not fighting Kabuto and was willingly fighting against the three. The Susano'O is manifested with chakra and thus Nagato can definitely absorb it, that includes the tutska blade, we've even seen a character more recently get kicked out of his own Chakra summuning/avatar (Susano'O).

[@razzo086]

[@tinamoul]

Ehh, doesn't count. This is a stretch, maybe is you were talking about taijutsu, which requires reaction times so fast that you really gain nothing by being able to access their taijutsu. As you mentioned, the body still had it's techniques. So I'm pretty sure yes while Kabuto is in command, it's still pretty much Nagato's style and technique, essentially the ninjitsu version of an aimbot. Kabuto being in control is micromanaging vs letting him go on autopilot

[@marzipancutter8144]

If Kabuto is in manual control, I think he's still using the bodies reaction time and jutsu ability rather than his own. Even the intricate knowledge of Nagatos Jutsu and how they work might be "borrowed" from Nagato. That said, the strategic applications that Kabuto uses those abilities for is unrivaled.

[@didack1419]

Kabuto took control of Mu and he still tried to use jinton even though Mu should have known it would not be possible. So it seems to me that he has some important executive control

[@TheEyez187]

Maybe Nagato having all 6 paths in himself at once doesn't have the same time restriction on the almighty push!?

[@cold-otaku]

Nagato rinnegan experience > kabuto knowledge

[@marzipancutter8144]

It could be argued that Kabuto inherits the experience and knowledge of his Edotenseis to some extent during manual possession, so it might not technically even be his. If Kabuto popped some Rinnegan into his own body he might not have access to the same powers. However, Kabutos strategic application of the jutsu once he does have access to them is the best in the verse, he may be the single most efficient fighter with any moveset.

If all parties were alive (Except Nagato for obvious reasons AKA no mobility), after Nagato used Almighty Push to remove the Amaterasu the following justu used would've completely blasted Itachi into oblivion. And if you'd argue not, then consider two things; 1. Itachi purposefully used Naruto and Bee as bait 2. Itachi despite being Edo Tensei, took longer to REVIVE than it took both the 8 AND 9 tails to RECOVER means that Itachi ain't all that hot shit REGARDLESS of what Kishimoto states; simply because the proof is in the literal text, animation and Manga already. Can't retcon that! My point is, REANIMATED Itachi couldn't seal alive or reincarnated Nagato on his own without help while reanimated OR under control. So again, he ain't the hot shit the show wants us to believe despite his popularity or the outcome given the context of the entire fight Misashi wrote.

There's probably more but I'll stop here

[@inesatt1313]

At least he uses it greatly

[@waranghira]

Uhhh... Edo Tensei control is basically autopilot. It's not the corpse's will, but it is through their processing power, not the controller's. Kabuto and Orochimaru aren't multi-conscious beings able to simultaneously process firsthand numerous minds at the same time. They aren't Xaviers or Jean Greys. They're just necromancer lords.

[@DygoKnight]

bro clearly didn't watch the video, it's not autopilot when Kabuto specifically takes over the edo tensei

[@0v3rK1llval]

5:25 This is not necessarily true. PAIN has a 5 second cooldown. Nagato doesn’t. There’s no indication of there being a cooldown on any of his abilities. The bodies he controls have a cooldown cause he’s animating them himself over a distance. It’s like a cell tower. Nagato sends a signal to the pain body, to do the command, and it does it but it takes more energy and more time than if he were to do it himself. It’s also possible you can’t absorb Amaterasu. Madara also had the Rinnegan, he didn’t absorb it. It might not be chakra. It’s not explained well. 13:50 you can’t Shinra Tensei the totals blade or Tara mirror cause they have no physical form. They’re weightless. You can’t push something with no weight. Also a lot people think the only reason Itachi beat Nagato is because he had Naruto and Bee’s help. Not true. Both of them were LIABILITIES to Itachi. Bee AMPED Nagato by giving up his chakra, and Naruto amped him with his Rasengan, and Itachi had to SAVE THEM. And the Chibaku Tensei point. How do some people actually believe that Itachi can’t break Chibaku Tensei on his own? 1. The Chibaku Tensei orb doesn’t even scale to the 3 attacks, it broke from them, which means it’s LESS powerful than the 3 attacks combined and the Tails Bijou bomb doesn’t scale anywhere lol, it couldn’t even kill Tsuigetsu. 2. Itachi wasn’t even using his Susanoo at full strength, he was using it in the Skeletal form and only threw 3 Yasaka Magatama. Against Kabuto he used 4 Yasaka Magatama in the Body stage Susanoo. Who says he can’t throw more? Edo Itachi is definitely stronger than Edo Nagato lol.

[@sampalace358]

Kabuto is also the reason Obito was even able to go to war with the biju as outright weapons. Kabuto makes the edo tensei jinchuuriki something that would not have happened if he did not agree to give Kabuto sasuke. It’s a superior 6paths jutsu than nagato’s simply because the edo tensei cannot die and will regenerate without the gate of hell which requires chakra. Without kabuto I don’t see obito lasting an entire day against a shinobi alliance. Naruto and bee end up stomping the other biju kinda easily but they would have been still inside the incomplete gedo. Which didn’t and couldn’t become the weaponized form until he had all the biju chakra. The one nagato uses with an empty gedo apparently will use the chakra from the summoner instead. Obito owed his success is large part to kabuto.

True, I have no idea what Obito was thinking when he declared war against the Ninja Alliance. Boy was about to be clapped all the way to the pure lands.

[@mabussubam512]

All Obito needed was the Zetsu army. To create a proper distraction so he could take the last remaining tailed beasts. An army of Zetsu's can do just that and they did. The army of edo-tensei put a nail in the coffin and thus made everything easier. It was not necessary but it made everything a lot easier. We've seen how lazy Kishimoto is when it comes to fights and how they're set up. It's obvious that Obito would find a way magically and get his hands on the last remaining jinchuurikies. Buuuut we got the alternative solution -- what happened in here.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@mabussubam512 The only reason the Zetsu army was effective to any degree during the war arc was because Kabuto got him Captain Yamato to amp them up with wood style. The Zetsu army at base would be stomped so easily it wouldn't even make for a decent distraction. The allied shinobi forces aren't stupid enough to leave their Jinchuriki unattended anyway, and they were both hidden away and guarded by some of the strongest Ninja. Obitos plans would have ended right when Kisame was defeated by Guy if not for Kabuto.
