@NCHammer23 Just want to point out that a tailed beast bomb from any tailed beast is able to vaporize a mountain with ease let alone a city. The nine tails does this to multiple mountains easily. Also in the manga minato clashes his rasengan against kurama's biju bomb but the bomb itself was not fully formed yet this is shown in the chamber when you see all the small orbs that didn't go into it. So minato's rasengan couldn't beat a true beast bomb from kurama. Also again city level is a HUGE low ball.

This just shows how deeply Kushina & Minato loved each other. Almost all of Minato’s battle arsenal is sealing jutsu which the Uzumaki specialized in. And Kushina helped Minato learn A LOT of sealing techniques. So Kushina was always with Minato on the battlefield due to his sealing arsenal. Plus Minato created the Rasengan for the soul purpose of protecting Kushina. She even named his technique and he didn’t have a single objection.

It gets even better than Kushina just naming the rasengan. It's implied that the first time Minato says he loves Kushina is when he's fighting kurama/using the rasengan inside the seal. Kushina naming the rasengan as such represents the moment that her uzumaki became a rasen.

We now have more people who know the rasengan. We have: Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, Konohamaru and Boruto.

Really puts into perspective Kakashi’s concern with Naruto using the move against Sasuke.

I've always said Minato had to get his arms cut off in the War Arc cause of plot he is too OP so they had to nerf him in that battle. We've seen Minato has high chakra reserves , great counter reaction timing , insane jutsus and feats that are impressive even after all the broken characters that came after him. That man was a Hokage for a reason and had as much natural potential as Hashirama And Madara . Sadly his story was cut short. side note he aint even have a kekkei genkai

[@sskmanentsa5326]

He was also going through a lot of turmoil given that even though he was right about the world events that would occur, he was blaming himself for all of it. Kurama and Naruto had to snap him out of it a couple times, the whole Obito being alive and being responsible for all it, basically there was a lot on his mind. In that moment too, he was pretty much so proud of Naruto that he basically depended on him to carry them to victory and that he was just there to help. His character was pretty much different from the assertive no nonsense ninja who was feared across the World.

It took me a second to realize why Kurama was able to force a bijufication on Kushina so fast. This is Kurama at his full strength. Unlike with Naruto who only had half of Kurama. Makes more sense why they had her in a barrier to start.

[@lucasleopoldinodasilva7720]

Not only that, Kushina had a weaker seal which is the 4 symbol seal, obviously it is still a stronger seal than all the other 8 jinchurikis, after all it is an Uzumaki seal, however this seal is still weaker than the 8 symbol seal. trigrams that Minato places on Naruto later, so there were at least 2 things that made breaking the seal easier: he is weaker and has complete kurama sealed in him In Naruto, who had an 8 trigram seal, the Kurama chakra sometimes escaped precisely because it was Minato's intention, after all, he modified the seal so that little by little the Kurama chakra was mixing with Naruto's, so if he didn't do this, the seal would probably never would be broken by kurama or third parties

@@7thswordsmenofthemist Brace yourself, this is going to be a long rant. There are many clues before shippuden and even in shippuden that Hashirama wasn't overpowered. As the comment before said, Hiruzen wasn't scared of facing BOTH Hashirama and Tobirama when Orochimaru attacked (with Minato it was just overkill hence why he stopped the 3rd coffin, we don't know if a reincarnated Minato is stronger than Hiruzen). The 2nd is Kakuzu, he mentioned that he took the 1st Hokage's heart. AGAIN, this wasn't a bluff or a joke or a mistake by Kishimoto, all akatsuki members were based on monsters/demons and were S-Class criminals, enough to kill Kages (Sasori killing the 3rd Kazegake for example). It made perfect sense that Kakuzu, a man who lived 100+ years, faced the 1st Hokage and killed him in some way, how would Hashirama be so overpowered in this case? Most likely, after the pain arc kishomot didn't know how to go beyond Nagato/Pein in terms of power level, so he brought back Hashirama and Madara and made absurdly powerful, just to accomodate his "child of prophecy" plotline with Naruto and sasuke.

[@galaxyexe3627]

Heart warming as the one-shot showed us how close Minato and Kushina relationship was, everyone is overlooking how powerful Kurama really is. There had to be two methods used to prevent him from escaping, the 1st being sealed inside an Uzumaki, both full blooded ones at that, and the 2nd is having said Uzumaki living inside a barrier so he doesn’t break out of his first seal. GOATED! I wish Kishimoto didn’t introduce Roshi and Han had Full Tail Beasts Avatar Transformation since it created another plot hole as to why Killer Bee never used it, and made Naruto’s own no longer unique if other tail beasts host can also use it. Still cool, but not unique as it also diminishes Naruto and Kumura’s relationship since I and many other fans thought the transformation arise from their bond, or at least only unique to Kurama.

[@ramenhokage8855]

Naruto's transformation is still unique because it's basically a kurama chakra avatar. Han and Roshi both have the physical manifestation of the beasts

[@Kendreyek]

Seems like the rasengan being that strong could be a mental amp because he's protecting Kushina, and not something he'd normally be capable of. That seems in line with the overall narrative, love being the power that balances hate and such. Minato acts out of love, cancels out Kurama acting out of hate.

I actually liked getting confirmation that all jinchuriki can have a chakra avatar like Kurama and Naruto.

We saw something close when Kurama was escaping Pains Planetary Devastation but Naruto had no control of that situation.

I always assumed that form happened because Naruto only had half of Kurama at that time and it took everything Kurama had just to manifest the skeleton and some muscles. Yamato's tail level warning did fully reach 9, after all. That was Naruto's 9-Tailed Form, at that time. By the end of The Last as someone else mentions, Naruto would have had full Kurama and thus a full form.

I think it's also sensible to suggest that the design of the rasengan was also designed to suppress tail beast balls by dispersing the energy. If the rotation is moving or chipping away at the Chakra then it could reduce the power of it. Therefore he wouldn't need to match kurama exactly.

[@mikaelacash3791]

I absolutely loved the one-shot! On the topic of Minato's power scaling? He's GOATed and we already knew that. Lol. I loved that we got some more timeline specifications, too, though. I don't tend to pay much attention to the timeline at this point because we all know it's just such a huge mess, but that bit of info giving us an incredibly good approximation of WHEN Uzushio and the Uzumakis were destroyed was fantastic! We now know that it was very close to right after Kushina came to Konoha. I also liked the lore building with us now knowing that Kushina was generally not allowed to leave a very particular sealed area for the majority of her life and that she didn't originally have as much control over her seal as we once thought. That makes Naruto's seal strength so much more profound, since contrary to Mito and Kushina, he COULD go pretty much anywhere without his seal going berserk, even before he had friends and romantic love. Now I wanna know if Mito had been confined to this sealed area her entire time as a jinchuriki, or if it was only after she started to age to the point that her seal was no longer as strong? And and didn't seem at all that Kushina was confined to this area later in her life, so my guess is that she was able to move around freely after she was able to find love with Minato and that love allowed her to keep her seal more controlled. Seriously, after the release of this one-shot manga, Kishimoto would be an IDIOT not to make an actual spin-off series about Minato. MINATO IS MONEY. He is what we want! He is what we will throw all of our money at! GIVE US THE MINATO SPIN-OFF

When Minato is in the seal, he may be weaker than Kurama but what he was doing was sealing Kurama's chakra weakening the beast.

[@Legan991]

I feel like we learned from Boruto that Rasengan can be scaled not only from size and added elements but also through density. Maybe Minato is not able to consistently pull of a high density rasengan but was so during the fight against Kurama. Scaling this Rasengan vs the one used against Obito at the night of his death feels a bit weird. Then again, maybe there is yet another factor next to the 3 I just named and we will learn about it in the (hopefully) upcoming Minato story...

[@AlexIancu205]

I think that the 2 jonins in Minato and Jiraia's team from the first page, are the same kids from the original (older picture). There is a a difference in appearance for both of them but the basis is still there (for example the girls, from the right side gas the same hairstile as the original picture, and the guy from the back also has the same hair style). Or maybe I'm just imagining things :D

[@lathanpankey2173]

I’m so glad this came out. I would always say we don’t know enough about Minato and I thought he was more powerful than Kishimoto let on. I used to say I think an all out Minato could rival Alive Madara and used to get laughed at. But now there’s actual Cannon to back my claims.

[@dominicbastian7684]

That’s exactly what I’ve always thought. Considering the way edo tensei from Orochimaru had Hashirama and Tobirama barely keeping up with old man Hiruzen, we can assume that when all the Hokage were brought back, they were at a fraction of their power, especially considering that Hashirama and Madara are rivals while Madara wipes the floor with the 5 kage at the same time. So a lot of the feats of the edo Hokage are very hard to scale with certainty during the war arc

[@Joendorf]

In the panel that Minato's rasengan clashed with Kurama's tailed beast bomb, Kurama was still forming the bomb. Is it possible that the rasengan was effective not because it's city level but because Minito had timed the attack well, like when Naruto used his rasengan against the 3rd Raikage's arm? Love the video, and I can't wait to see more!

[@kaizel2264]

His rasengan was also baby form as he just made it take shape lol that's like the balloon version - rubber ball

[@kaizel2264]

Also city level is a massive downscale

[@dominicbastian7684]

The problem with that is that size wise the tailed beast bomb is pretty large, and tailed beast bomb basically is a size/charge time=power of the attack. Even if he had only started powering it, it would still be effective at a fraction of its power, just not as strong. So the question is not if Minato is as powerful as just a fully charged tailed beast bomb, but how powerful Minato’s rasengan is compared to varying degrees of chakra poured into one of Kurama’s tailed beast bombs

[@IchigoUnbound]

Its about time we have something to shake up the power scaling community. Minato pushing back Karama's tailed beast bomb

[@bfeldz1023]

I think this new information about Han and Roshi doesn't necessarily negate Roshi's statement about his relationship with Son Goku. It just puts it in a different context. Maybe he wasn't referring to the fact that Naruto and Bee are perfect Jinchuriki but to the fact that their ability to be perfect jinchuriki comes from friendship. He was a jinchuriki during a war, maybe his and Son Goku's relationship was based in shared hatred, they were close enough to allow Roshi to manifest, but they were not friends, which would be another explanation for his words in Naruto.

Keep in mid the detail on kurama doing the tail beast bomb. Its pretty much still forming which means kurama was still gathering chakra while minato just attacked the tail beasts bomb. The same situation happened when kurama was gathering chakra Naruto hit him and it crumbled the tail beasts bomb. If it isn't released it doesn't really have the destructive power "Yet". Hence why a regular rasenga interrupted the kuramas tail beasts bomb.

[@xml6422]

This does not make Minato weak or the rasengan technique weak.

[@yanyanzhang5813]

Not really. Kurama could also be overcharging the TBB. You can’t quantify how large the Rasengan is, especially since the “aura” of the Rasengan is just as powerful as a full Rasengan in the next panel. Or the fact that the TBB is just as big as the two fired by Roshi and Han.

[@dominicbastian7684]

Well the tailed beast bomb is quite large and even if it wasn’t complete it’s still at least over 50% charged based on panel length by comparison to charge time in the war arc and is probably fully charged. But even if it’s 10% power and Kushina is suppressing 50% of Kurama’s power then that tailed beast bomb should be as strong as one created by the 5 tails (each tailed beast is half as strong as the previous tailed beast so Kurama=2x Gyuuki). So even if you low ball the feat Minato still had a 5 tails level feat at 14 his first time using the rasengan

It's not only that! This also perfectly explains why Minato himself was also able to show up during the Pain arc (as well as Kushina later on when Naruto fought Kurama)! This ties in so neatly into the "2 suns" inside of Naruto, as Bee called it; Naruto's vessel was filled not with the love of one but 2 people. This is so nicely done by Kishi it makes me smile Also I REALLY want to use this moment to say that Orochimaru was the one using Edo Tensei on the Kage - Kabuto stated that HIS version of the Edo Tensei brought people back in their primes, Orochimaru's did not (hence the First/Second in their fight against Hiruzen losing back in the day). So this could explain why Minato is weaker in the 4th ninja war.

[@cngotham4111]

No earlier he summoned them with caskets later on he summons them with the reaper death seal literally cutting out their souls and freeing them into a body. There's a reason why the hokage are alot stronger in the war then in the orchimaru/hiruzen fight.

[@Dark_Cloud]

The Flying Raijin technique, although a super secret advanced technique difficult to master and kept well hidden inside something like the scroll of sealing, is still a technique that was already perfected and documented / written down somewhere in some form that Minato could refer to and study / take inspiration from to make it his own. The Rasengan however, had to be made from scratch. There was no research or material he could refer to, other that seeing the tailed beast balls. And you don't see a tailed beast bomb every other day. So it's understandable it took him years to create the Rasengan meanwhile he had already learnt the Flying Raijin in a shorter time being the genius that he is. It obviously got easier for the others who came after Minato, like Jiraya, Kakashi, Naruto and Konohamaru because they were taught this by someone else / was able to see it and re create it.

[@DeamonChocobo]

The way I took the Manga was that this is Minato at the start of the 3 years. He's created the general idea of the Rasengan but now has to spend 3 years perfecting it (how much Chakra to put in, how to use it in combat, possible modifications like Jiraiya's Big Ball Rasengan, etc.)

We need to talk @NCHammer23 . First minato is between 10-12 years older than Kakashi and Kakashi was 17 when minato died so minato between 27-29 most likely 30. He was hokage for just over 5 years so he became hokage around the age of 22 - 24 most likely 24 meaning he was between 15 and 13 when he saved Kushina. So he may as well be 16 - 18 in this story seeing Naruto his son had a major growth spurt at 17-18 it may just be the family genes making him look so big.

This One Shot was crazy to read, it was amazing imo but there are a bunch of things that makes little sense, like scaling 11-14 Yo Minato to Hashirama and scaling Minato's just learnt Rasengan to Full Kurama Bijuu Dama, I like the explanation for Kurama's chakra being suppressed by Kushina's Adamantine Chain, it makes mostly sense if the Anime add is canon, otherwise Idk how to explain it. For the statement "Minato scaling somehow to Hashirama" I think Kurama was talking about his potential, like "Minato's potential is somewhere around Hashirama's, considering that Minato is just 11-14, and if he continues growing he might catch on to Hashirama", that's what I think at least. And btw Kushina tells something that you didn't say, that Minato is very fast at learning jutsu, she says "it's also true that Minato learn things very quickly", and considering that Minato's potential is similar to Hashirama's (If we consider what I said before true), is "normal" for him at the age of 11-14 knowing the FTG, assuming he trained for it for a bunch of years while learning Sealing techniques (And we can also assume that it took 3 years for Minato to learn Rasengan 'cause while he was creating it, he was also learning sealing techniques)

Im sure it could also introduce flashbacks to events we haven't seen before, but if it sticks primarily in the present, it's just showing us detailed versions of events we already know or introduce ones that werent exactly relevant to the story of Naruto going forward.

Hes not "stonger than we thought", hes just a main character now.

He would strike gold giving us a manga that shows Minato and what lead up to him becoming Hokage while also letting us see more of kid kakashi and his exploits

If a jinchuriki uses their talked beasts chakra without their consent then are they a perfect jinchuriki? Naruto could go into kcm1 without Kurama's consent, but that didn't make Naruto a perfect jinchuriki. Just because we see Roshi using the transformation doesn't mean that Son Goku was allowing it to happen.

lol i havnt heard about Boruto for over a year or two lol i forgot it exist

The most unrealistic thing about the manga is that the Rasengan can clash with a massive Bijuu bomb and still saved Kushina in her Bijuu mode.

[@riroufudo]

Yeah but minato is just built different, i understand your point tho

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

I mean Kurama was being bound by two sealing jutsu' and Minato was put into the hospital because of the clash.

[@zachmoore3997]

@@cheeseburgerfreddy6350he was put in the hospital for multiple reasons chakra exhaustion and a fist through his chest and possibly more it’s wasn’t just that clash

@ankitpatel5342 he’s controlling her thats why she has the cloak activated and even still all kurama is is chakra so that’s still legitimate plus there’s multiple cases of mental and subconscious occurrences that have chakra usage connected to them so y is this different chakra isn’t all physical you can use it mental battles such as sasuke and itachi fighting in genjutsu they still consumed chakra by using jutsu in their minds and if this wasn’t the case hagaromo wouldn’t have been able to pass chakra by entering Naruto and sasukes mind

11:45 This is probably the one time I actually paused and went and looked at the thing I'm watching a video about but that right there? That's genius.

[@RichardDarghwin]

the fact that the name of a jutsu created out of love and represents the method jinchurikis from the uzumaki clan have been able to live a full life make naruto using it a his main jutsu, not only as a memento from his father but also from his mother and is the way he brough peace to the world and sasuke....man oh man the feels...who needs tissue.
