[@Rik904]

Obito using izanagi only proves that he severely underestimated her. At first Obito wasn’t taking konan seriously but Konan had a shit load of prep time and made a little ocean out of paper Bombs. The paper bombs exploded for 10 minutes straight while obito can only use kamui 5 min straight. When obito was pushed to his limit with kamui he was forced to use izanagi. Then obito was like “I underestimated her.” Soo just cause obito used izanagi doesn’t mean he didn’t underestimate her. Konan had prep time( with prep time made the little ocean) and obito underestimated konan insanely.

The best part about his immortality is the surprise factor it has against people who don't know about it.

That's pretty much all it's good for, and the faster/smarter characters likely wouldn't fall for it.

Konan is definitely one of the stronger akatsuki members. She almost killed Obito with the rest of her chakra so she is very powerful when she has all those paper bombs. I know she isn't the strongest member but she is still way stronger than Deidara, Sasori and Kakuzu. I don't know about Kisame but she is one of the stronger akatsuki members.

[@codyfacer2466]

​@@IamVybez can't see how she's stronger than diedara. They're literally one and the same, give them enough prep time and they can push some top tier Shinobi except diedara can easily release microscopic bombs that would cause konan to basically disappear into the wind forever and she has nothing that can do that. She's stronger than sasori, hidan, and zetsu for sure. Anybody else, it's arguable. I think hard counters her or has better feats. Kakazu fighting hashirama and living before having his 5 hearts is greater than anything konan has ever done. She had to prep a fucking sea of ocean to have a chance against Obito who isn't close to hashirama level

[@twizaa]

@@codyfacer2466 don't know how you can argue that she's weak when obito had to use a newly introduced cheat move to survive. if there were no izanagi obito would be dead. now normally i would just say that it's apart of his arsenal and you can't fault him for having it at his disposal, but this is a literal fight reset move, which is pretty cheesy plot armor.

[@grand_admiral_henrich4416]

I think what a lot of people forget is that Sasori was at a big disatvantage during his fights. He was fighting Sakura, who got help from Sasori's grandma, who is an expert on puppetry.

[@jfk9527]

And am I tripping? or right after Sasori dies, Sakura and Grandma Chiyo realize that Sasori ultimately didn't want to kill them when push came to shove? I remember Grandma Chiyo saying something to the effect that Sasori might have come back to his senses after seeing his parent puppets fighting to protect Grandma Chiyo. If what I'm saying is true, then Deidara might be right, considering that Sasori became immortal due to his ability to transfer his puppet heart to infinity. And the fact that he just outright rejects Deidara's opinion on how strong Sasori is just because it doesn't fit his narrative sounds super arrogant to me. I mean, if he is basing Sasori's strength on Chioy and Sakura's fight, then it would be fair to mention that Sasori ultimately did let them win. This might not change anything, but it's still worth mentioning. I'm stunned that he forgot about that detail. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong since I watched it in French and the translation sometimes might be different, and it has also been years since I watched it. However, I personally believe that most characters in Naruto are killable if you have good preparation and study all of their Jutsu secrets. And more importantly, the matchups between opponents, for example, Konan vs. Obito or Guy vs. Madara. When you think about it, although Deidara is really powerful, he couldn't do shit against lightning Jutsus. So most of these rankings are ultimately just based on the timing and knowledge of the techniques of each opponent. To me, Jiraya would've beat pain if he knew his secret jutsus.

Kakuzu : *exists* DyroKnight : and I took that personally

[@Skelemonyo]

I find it odd that while many ninja require some degree of prep time, such as Deidara needs to collect clay, Kakazu needs to collect strong hearts, and Sasori needs to build his puppets and coat all of his thousands of weapons in poison, but nobody scales these characters without their prep time, but with Konan, her jutsu seems to require her to make paper, but she gets scaled with no prep time, despite her likely having billions of paper bombs available until she used them on Obito.

[@DygoKnight]

You're right you know, I never thought about that

[@yikes313]

Well thats beacause that particular jutsu was catered to Obito, whilst I do believe it was very viable and Obito is stronger than Itachi, that same jutsu would not work on Itachi due to Itachi's arsenal Just like how Shikamaru's prep time for Hidan worked, that same prep would not work for someone weaker than Hidan i.e Zetsu

[@tythegreatttg]

The only problem is that her prep time was specifically to fight 1 person. While everyone else you named "prep time" is not base on 1 person in mind. Konan prep specifically for Obito that's why she did so well while konan with no prep time lost to base jiraiya. Prep time matters especially if you're planning to fight specific person for example bc of prep time Sasuke and cho didn't die against sasori since Sasuke made an antidote. Without that sasori would have killed them multiple time.

[@johnnyvirtues]

That’s just a fact cuz ain’t no way she made all them shits in a short period

[@Skelemonyo]

I think for konan it largely depends on whether she can summon her paper reserves anywhere or if its specifically in that spot waiting for obito. While she was planning to kill obito, if she can summon billions of paper bombs and control them like she does with her other paper, then it should be included in her capabilities.

[@victorfries9563]

Idk I think Sasori was still being alil down played, in terms of his puppets I think is main source of power was the quantity not the durability of them especially with poisonous blades on them I don't think many non puppet users could make it through all that without a deadly scratch, his grandmother mother played a huge role in his defeat offensively, defensively, and emotionally. Sakura was pretty much has higher than average physical strength 💪 only weaker to high tier characters like kage lvl+(even some Kage don't have that kinda physical power like Mei for example) and characters more taijutsu focus. Chiyo pretty much got Sakura close enough in the 1st place, she was pretty much the perfect support for Chiyo who was the only one who can counter him so well without just brute force. I'm pretty they're other benefits to having a puppet body in battle like not being fatigued, being able to replace parts, maybe not affected by genjutsu potentially? I kinda see Sasori as kinda like the "Assassin" of the group not the strongest especially not the most durable but has the most deadly strikes via his poison. We don't never got to see alot of Sasori to compare many feats like Deidara who been in many more fights.

[@joshuavila5557]

I agree, even the iron sand was embedded with poison which makes him more dangerous... its like fighting both 3rd Kazekage and Sasori combined

[@marcelomoura9272]

And there is more: Sasori had so much more information about enemies than the other akatsuki members. The only person in the world who knows all about Sasori was the one to fight against him, which was his grandma. Any other opponent would have many more surprises and thus more chances to die.

[@croussant]

Sasori was never really committed to the Akatsuki. He was ambivalent and confused by childhood grief. Gaara said you could never break one of the Akatsuki, but Sasori did break before he died because of his guilt. Because of his death wish, we never see Sasori go all out and he may even have suicided himself at the last moment against Chuyo. His full power was unknown. I believe Sasori was the youngest Chunin ever, even younger than Itachi.

[@achilleskirklacatan3904]

Sasori never really went all out but I do feel like even if Deidara can break his Hiroko shell, Sasori can protect himself from most of his explosions with the third kazekage. And even if by SOME miracle Deidara takes that down once Sasori pulls out the red 100 puppets it’s over because then Sasori can swap between bodies if in danger and deidara would be too overwhelmed blowing one body up and then gets shredded by another that sneaks up on him. Sasori only died because he never expected to see his grandma again and when he did his humanity came back. He died because he wanted the mother and father puppets to kill him so he could finally feel the love of a family up to death since even as a kid, he couldn’t feel them hugging him because they werent there. He lived a life of a lie waiting for them to come home. Once he was killed by their puppet’s he felt at home knowing he’d join them

The fights involving Sasori and Kakuzu are pretty controversial... Sasori was fighting against someone who knew his every move, which is ridiculous because the last rime Chio saw him was 20 years before, surely he should have known some things that she didn't. Also Sakura... At that point it seemed like she was stronger than Naruto and Sasukez. That fight should have happened later showing Sakura's growth in a more realistic way... Kakuzu was basically one-shoted by Naruto but it was kinda dumb. The whole purpose of the 5 hearts thing was to not keep all of them in his body... If you do that, you just have all 5 transformations which is not that impressive against stronger opponents, it doesn't really make a difference if you shoot them with a fireball or lightning if they can just dodge it very fast or absorb it. Also some people say that Kakashi could have just kamuid his head off but that would be just too easy, why have the entire fight then? Why not do it against Tendo Pain? Yeah ok you end up in the hospital for a week but guess what... You don't die and save your whole village.

[@RandomCommentsofDoom]

Regarding Konan, there's something I always thought was interesting about her that only appears in the japanese version and not the english version. After she does her 600 billion paper bomb attack against Obito, in the japanese version she says something like "My Sacred Paper Emissary jutsu has become undone. I didn't think it would take his much chakra" and after she says that the paper flower in her hair goes away. There's no mention of it in the english version, but I noticed that after she says that, she's no longer in her "paper form" and she is only shown in her human form after that. Obito then stabs her, an attack that I don't believe would have done anything if she still had her "Sacred Paper Emissary" jutsu active. This always led me to believe that she is immune to physical attacks of any kind with that form as she literally takes basically no physical damage from anything when she is in her paper form and it's only after the jutsu is undone that she was physically stabbed by Obito. With the flower in her hair, and her Sacred Paper Emissary jutsu active, I believe she is literally immune to at least all physical attacks and though some jutsu, like water jutsu can effect her in that it makes her less maneuverable, I don't think she can actually take any meaningful damage while the jutsu is active.

[@Ash-ms6dw]

The 'sacred paper emissary' jutsu is the 600 billion paper bombs jutsu she used. In japanese, the name of that jutsu is 'kami no shisha no jutsu' which basically translates to 'Paper person of God technique' . She was basically saying that the jutsu is done, and that it's completed, but she didn't expect it to take that much chakra. The ability that allows her to be immune to physical attacks is 'shikigami no mai' or 'dance of the shikigami'. They're different abilities

[@elektra8535]

It's a different abbility, i suppose she ran out of chakra with the trap she put on Obito and didn't have enough to mantain her paper form, and with that making her vulnerable to normal attacks

Not to mention kakazu was weakened by losing his heart unexpectedly from hidan and kakazu straight up outclassed kakashi in hand to hand. And with the two tails it’s a very impressive feat.

Each member of the Akatsuki could actually destroy an entire "country" in one night. Each would do it differently -- but all of them were certainly capable of MAJOR DESTRUCTION. Some might think that Hidan would be incapable of such a feat but I'd disagree. The best and worst thing about Immortal Hidan was his unquenchable bloodthirst. If he had to kill everyone - one at a time - to destroy a country, he would be more than happy to do it. Anyway.

[@MajoraZ]

Finally an Akatsuki ranking video I agree with! Especially Konan's placement. If anything, IMO you're slightly underrating her: Beyond her flight, phasing through physical attacks by separating into paper, and making blades and mix bombs into her attacks; she's also shown to be able to make animals and other objects with her paper (like Butterflies), which combined with bombs basically give her Deidera like abilities; she's seen using paper to wrap around people and cover things up and could maybe make objects like Gaara/Third Kazekage's sand; she's shown to re-connect herself with paper after physical injuries (after her kamikaze attack against Obito) similar to Orochimaru reconnecting himself with snakes, and she could also mix in sealing tags and summoning paper in with all of her abilities too in theory, not just bombs: Imagine a swarm of paper where some of them are explosive, some form seals and create barriers around areas or lock you in place, some are summoning in weapons or animals or other allied fighters, and some are forming into blades or physical objects, all the while Konan is hundreds of meters in the air and is basically untouchable and can phase through attacks or reconnect herself as paper if she is injured. She's insanely versatile. I do think that Kakazu, Sasori, and Pain are being slightly underrated, though, even if it doesn't actually change their placement: Kakazu's strings/tentacles have a lot of versatility in their own right for long range attacks and traps and manipulating objects around him, his elemental jutsu is some of the largest scale examples of that in the series outside of Jiraya with Gamabunta, Kisame, the Biju, Obitio, and Madara; and being able to split into effectively multiple bodies further really aids in a fight to outmaneuver enemies. With Sasori, I think it's a weird situation where in an "anti-personal" context, the sheer amount of ways and hazards he can throw your way to poison you is sort of crazy, and even people "stronger" then him I think would struggle to avoid getting nicked by at least one hit. But none of his abilities are particularly good at hitting with raw destructive power, and if there's a defensive tactic or entity that can block or is unaffected by the poison, his options are relatively limited (For example, Gaara would be a tough matchup for him, but on the flip side, I think Sasuke as when he fought Deidera would struggle vs Sasori). With Pain, the main thing is that, like with Kakazu, having multiple bodies to attack from is a really powerful trait, and In regards to you saying he doesn't have a chance vs Obito the same way Itachi does, I think it would give Obito some trouble: Especially with their linked sight, as he goes to absorb one Pain into his Kamui dimension, the others could attack him in that moment. I don't think Pain would necessarily "win", we see Obito is quite good at backing off trying to attack or absorb somebody at the last second to phase through incoming attacks; but I do think that Obito would have a hard time winning and actually getting pains into his Kamui realm without taking hits. I think it'd be a stalemate, or Obito would win after taking some notable damage. Again, I think the order is about the same (I'd put Kakazu above Zetsu, maybe, but that's about it), but just some additional points I thought were worth bringing up. If we're counting Orochimaru, I'd probably put him between Sasori and Konan?

There's no way to prove that he was lying, even if you argue that he said it to shake Kakashi off, that doesn't mean he wasn't telling the truth. If someone like Deidara is ready to admit it, even in such circumstances, it's more likely true than not.

In reality Sasori is the 4th strongest right under Itachi. Many people try to contest Deidara's own statement of Sasori being superior due to his showing against Sasuke but people forgot just how deadly Sasori is. If Deidara said that, then it means he believes Sasori would be able to reach him and fatally strike him before getting off c4 or c0. Which isn't out of the realm of possibility because it took a Tsunade esque kunoichi with the one and only cure to his poison being controlled by the oldest and 2nd greatest puppet master ever, who happened to be Sasori's grandmother who taught him everything he knows and is familiar with his battle tendencies, to just dodge, survive, and fight back an onslaught of iron sand and then poison puppets.(And Sasori was holding back due to chiyo and then gave up at the end when he could have won.) Also Kisame is SLIGHTLY overated as he is always ranked 4th in these things. Truth is Kisame is only as strong as who or how many he is fighting. He is great for capturing Jinjuriki alive due to his ability to rise to a stronger oppennts level while also hacking away and absorbing their chakra, but he falls prey to unorthodox fighters like Guy who don't rely on ninjutsu. He would also have a problem against other Chakra stealers, people like Neji or that Aburame guy who was with Danzo. Finally he is only limited to water style jutsu which handicaps him in most engagements and could see him get into trouble against fighters with multiple nature changes.

no cuz they cant receive chakra anymore and thus cant move

Uhhhhh Kakazus placement is a little off here ..

[@thewarrior8497]

Yeah💀hes not that strong but hes at least above Konan and Sasori imo

[@Meekmillan]

Honestly I don’t think so, the only person I would put before him is Konan.

[@tsumiworld8702]

I agree with you. He said kakashi,s kamui would have maybe end Kakuzu but we have to take into account of how it's activated. Kakashi would have to face concentration on kakazu and kakuzu could separate his hearts to attack kakashi on different angles. His ranking of akatsuki members is just his opinion and not the right way. It's EXTREMELY difficult to calculate and rank them all since their techniques are beyond expectations.

Ong kakazu reacts and blocks yugito in her full tailed beast form, while EDO yugito can dodge killer b and kcm 1😂

[@ryanbreiten993]

Sasori above kakazu is crazy

[@kennethsatria6607]

I also agree its highly convenient that Naruto has that evil sensing ability that perfectly negates the clones, though it being tied to Kurama does feel right for his character cause he always appears in times of war. Its also partially my headcannon on why he hates humans so much cause he basically can always see through their being. Just sucks that Naruto gets it so early, feels like it should be a thing he gets after their bond formed.

[@christophersadri6464]

thankyou for being someone that ranks diedara and konan much better than most... diedara and konan can both create objects making them infinately more powerful than they're perceived

[@BenthovenMusic95]

I know people ain't gonna agree ofc but I do appreciate that you can actually power scale and not tend to bias love for characters like the people who will complain about this list 😂Good vid as always my dude.

[@DygoKnight]

Thank you!

[@desmos5]

@@DygoKnight you think sasori is low kage level or mid kage level

[@hari18]

I like that you mentioned that deidara is stronger than sasori, but I think that konan would beat deidara since konan could just turn into paper to avoid deidara's bombs

[@rakansasas1111]

They just nerfed Kakuzu in the end so Naruto could beat him, that was pure plot power more than anything

[@jaydenhatcher1206]

I dont agree with kakuzu being that low, he went toe to toe with the 1st hokage and survived.... thats a feat itself

[@eyokefela1528]

So many stray shots at Kakuzu😭😭

[@devildead369]

Obito has wood release as well as chakra regeneration due to the white zetsu he has.

[@VanessaKeynes]

So many years have passed, but I still think Sasori, Hidan and Kakuzu have been done dirty and lost not to Naruto, Sakura etc, but to Main Character And His Friends™. Deidara did too, but he at least got better treatment and screentime. They all deserved that better treatment and screentime

[@ericmartinez14811]

Good video

[@Poohbear6]

Sasori did want to just see how much it would take to kill them and granny chiyo hard carried the entire village through a war and knew everything about him. In the end he decided to accept death in the arms of his parents instead of just dodging. Also his poison could kill someone instantly but he purposely made the poison weaker because he wanted whoever had it to suffer

[@delix787]

Deidara can technically kill Kakzuz with the C4 Kuroda! You need visual powers to see the invisible attack from Deidara. And Kakazu is not seeing the invisible chakra in the atmosphere that will definitely catch them off guard. 😂
