Swagkage Debate | Pain vs Kakuzu

[@Swagkage]

just to clear the air since this seems to be sort of a big deal: i didn't read any of six's DMs during the debate and didn't know he was DMing me until we were done. i wasn't paying any attention to discord and muted my notifications to focus on the debate. none of my friends got responses from me, i even spaced on replying to things my fiancée sent me because i was focused on talking, combing through my own notes, and grabbing scans when necessary. for anyone who doubts me just read the messages six sent and listen to the debate. i didn't use any of his talking points. i guess some people may see this as a sign of bias on his part or something but based on what he told me near the end that "agreeing to a part 2 was in my best interest" i think it is safe to assume he wouldn't have voted for me if he thought i had lost. even if you assume the worst, and you really think six would have said i would have won no matter what (which again, i'm certain he wouldn't have), all of the other judges on panel agreed i won on the speed section. it's easy for noodles to claim collusion or whatever, but i think the claim falls apart under scrutiny. hopefully the clears things up. i really don't want this to devolve into a debate about the debate, because i know i didn't do anything wrong, and i'm pretty sure noodles knows the same. i don't care whether people think i won or lost, i just think it's important that people know i didn't cheat and i just wish i had recorded the debate myself so i could prove it more conclusively lol.

[@jaredbowen3527]

Bruh did you see the video of noodles going super sayian against Seth and Aero? 💀💀😂😂

[@noodlesyoutuber]

Yeah to put my perspective into it as well I don’t know or necessarily believe that swag cheated or anything but regardless having a judge dm arguments mid debate is a clear sign of bias and even if you think he would have voted for me, I think it would only because he may have not wanted to argue with the other judges. I also wasn’t aware that multiple of the judges were giving you arguments prior to the debate as well and were actually helping you prepare to their fullest capability. Having someone who gives you arguments judge is the equivalent of judging your own debate basically, so yeah even considering all this I’d still be willing to finish our debate with different judges or no judges like we said we would

I know I'm late to this, but I think it fundamentally doesn't make sense to say Kakuzu beats Pain when you compare what it took to defeat Pain with what it took to defeat Kakuzu.

"Normal humans can train really hard for multiple days and then be fine on the next." Uh..... this makes me skeptical if Noodles has ever seriously exercised in his life. The highest tier of professional athletes take recovery days before their big game to recover from training intensely all those days before.

[@noahblevins9569]

@Jerryco dondon ISIP Not quite. Bodybuilders and athletes that want large muscles intentionally create fiber tears so that muscles grow larger. Fighters generally want better technique, endurance, and cardio. Most endurance athletes will be thinner and leaner. Their muscles endure lactic acid fermentation to provide energy during long sessions. When they appear muscular, it is due to having a lower bodyfat percentage, opposed to large muscles To put that in practice, you can look at runners. A sprinter will get large, thick, powerful legs to generate momentum as fast as possible. A marathon runner will have skinny bird legs, which weigh less and burn less energy to endure the race. Noodles tries to apply one to the other, because that fits his narrative.

So if you create 1 you’re left with 1/2 of your chakra supply. If you make 20 you’re left with 1/20th of your original chakra supply. the regular shadow clone jutsu is a rank for a reason (since not many people are willing to get rid of half of their chakra on the spot just for the chance to defeat an enemy). im guessing it would be like losing a bunch of your blood on the spot you know?

Yes, speed relies upon the Amount of explosive force your muscles can generate upon pushing into the ground.

[@jovemokuryu3048]

This whole debate, as well as the drama surrounding is entirely absurd. I don't claim to be some numinous, almighty all-father but the outcome is obvious, Kakuzu is, undoubtedly, inferior to Pain, if Kishimoto had intended for Kakuzu to be the strongest then he almost certainly would have displayed as much on the page. Taking into account author's intent as well as narrative flow Pain was meant to be the mightiest of the Akatsuki, the greatest threat to the Naruto-verse until Obito and Madara took the reins of main antagonist. Kakuzu killed a main character, yes, but one of the lesser known characters, hardly even relevant really if you compare his screen time (even in pt. 1) to the likes of say Kakashi, Guy and Jiraiya and, speaking of Jiraiya, the one to off this colossus of a character (speaking solely in terms of story) was none other than Pain himself Jiraiya, a character who has been around near the beginning and even served as the mentor for our protagonist killed off Pain, why else if not to establish him as a far greater threat than anyone faced prior? Again I'm not even talking about powerscaling, or pixels, or panels, I am simply picking apart the plot. Pain was the last of the Akatsuki to be introduced, why not if establish him as the the primary power that our heroes are to overcome? You could argue that Obito was introduced early on but that is hardly a point of argument since the Obito as we know him (not the Tobi persona) was not introduced until after Pain's face had been revealed, despite being the same person Tobi and Obito are two entirely different characters as they fulfill entirely different narrative functions. Kakuzu existed for one purpose, a win for Naruto, allow me to elaborate: Naruto wanted to go down Sasuke's path of solitude, he wanted to see the world from Sasuke's eyes so to speak, this is why he, very uncharacteristically, said that he wanted to battle alone, and as a result his arm was severely damaged, thematically this is to imply that it was ultimately the wrong decision to make. Kakuzu was never propped up to be this unstoppable beast, if such were the case Kishimoto would've done more to drive this point home. In any case my argument would be the Kakuzu would be able to beat most of the Pains but ultimately lose to Deva in the end. Though, as always, I am open to counterargument

[@Crimzon.16]

The fact that Noodle didn't make a single correct point in an entire 2 and a half hour debate is crazy.

[@Crimzon.16]

Argument 1: Premise 1: Kakuzu is one of the deadliest people in the Akatsuki Premise 2: Deidara is on the bottom half of the Akatsuki in power Conclusion: Therefore, Kakuzu's attacks have higher AP than Deidara. To support Premise 1, he uses an end of chapter statement. These aren't a canon part of the story and are made to sell more of the story. Even if they were, there are 3 end of chapter statements that Pain is the strongest member of the Akatsuki. This premise is either incorrect or self-defeating. To Support Premise 2, he gives nothing at all. He just appeals to Swag. This premise would require him to give 5 characters with higher AP than Deidara in the Akatsuki, and this can't include Kakuzu, or else the Premise requires circular reasoning, and it can't include Pain, because he takes this argument to say that any of Kakuzu's attacks oneshot Pain, which he concludes because any of Deidara's attacks oneshot pain. The conclusion doesn't even follow from the two premises, either. Kakuzu is a professional assassin who has 5 lives, 360° vision, and ways of attacking 5+ times at once. He also can't run out of his attacks, unlike Deidara. He's also much better at sneak attacks, as shown when he sneak attacks Asuma and Shikamaru, while Deidara makes himself known in every fight he's been in. Deidara also consistently misses kills that are nearly absolute, while Kakuzu has actually gotten a kill in the series. So, Kakuzu can be deadlier due to hax, consistency, and accuracy, and not AP.

[@Crimzon.16]

Argument 2: Premise 1: Deidara has Country level AP with a casual bomb Premise 2: Pain doesn't have Country level durability Conclusion: Therefore, Kakuzu oneshots Pain Premise 1 is blatantly wrong. He says this because Deidara beat Isobu, who could take Bijuu Bombs. However, the only Bijuu bombs that have ever been calced at Country Level are ones used by Rinnegan and Sharingan amped perfect Jinchurikis, not by Tailed Beasts who don't even have a Jinchuriki. Deidara also didn't oneshot Isobu. The entire point that he does requires a misunderstanding of everything. It showed Deidara using one bomb, then it cut away, then it came back to the same exact place with dead Isobu. That wouldn't be necessary if that one bomb killed Isobu. The databook also only says Deidara used a bomb AND captured Isobu, which doesn't apply a causal link. This also ignores the fact that Japanese doesn't even have plurals, so unless he shows the raw scans, this can be dismissed on that basis alone. Premise 2 is also fundamentally incorrect. Tendo Pain was able to survive a Bijuu Bomb from 6 Tails Naruto, which was stated to be in par with other Jinchurikis. On top of that, 6 Tails Naruto's Island Level calc underestimates the size of Konaha. If you properly size Konoha, the feat is Country Level. Also, just because a character hasn't been blatantly shown to survive attacks that bust a country (which Pain has), doesn't mean they can't have Country level durability via inverse scaling. The conclusion only follows if we grant that both arguments are true, when neither are. If both arguments were true, then the conclusion would logically follow.

Okay noodles actually rubs me the wrong way. He seemed more focused on gaming the system of the debate, rather than actually deciding who would win in this hypothetical fight. Also Pain wins this. The Preta path absorbs any incoming ninjutsu, and the Deva path can always push him out of melee range. For when the Deva path is on cooldown, the animal path, Asura path, and Human path have more than enough tools to keep him occupied. Simply put, I don’t see Kakuzu ever getting an opening in a fair fight against the paths of pain.

[@Sam_P29]

@Tyler Gilbert yeah man. Pain is just honestly on a whole different level than Kakuzu.

Kakuzu does hold some advantage in taijutsu with his string arms and stuff, he could probably lock down two paths with it. but it wouldn't be Deva.

I'm going to go on a point by point analysis of this debate over the next week. I'll be editing my comment and replying to it until I've fully analyzed this entire exchange to my liking. Once I am finished I hope to have a fair assessment of both participant's actual contributions by scoring the actual argumentation, their etiquette, their consistency within the material, and their consistency as speakers. -Argumentation has to do with if they're constructing good arguments or making faulty assertions. -Etiquette has to do with rhetorical low blows, fallacies, and other distractions that don't contribute to a fair debate. -Consistency with material pertains to if their argument (well constructed or not) makes sense within Naruto. -Consistency as speakers has to do with how much they end up back pedaling on their arguments. Acknowledging my biases, I've watched the full video once and am heavily against Noodles due to my disdain for his argumentation style. This is mainly an exercise in venting my frustrations for how he conducts himself as a debater (I believe it is especially abhorrent even though I disagree with some of the debate bro tactics that Seth and Swag use. Noodles is on another level in my mind). I will not shy away from calling him out for the stuff he does that I find ridiculous, but I will do my best to be fair to him where his behavior is something I disagree with as opposed to erroneous, and I expect you all to keep me honest on that. That said, let's get started. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First and foremost, I do not necessarily understand the rules of the debate but I do think that the judges need to be the ones to enforce them (for example, warnings for gish galloping and also specifying when a participant is interrupting the other). The fact that one participant in particular was able to use threats of a gish gallop DQ against the other, erroneously while also interrupting that participant's points CONSTANTLY is an oversight. But I'll try not to interfere with the implied judgement metrics and as I am judging this debate myself I will refrain from bringing external details into my judgement. But I will mention certain potential arguments where I feel like--just know that these don't factor into my judgement. I'm going to go through the issues point by point. 1. Kakuzu being one of the deadliest Akatsuki and therefore more powerful than Deidara. Noodles makes this claim while Swag attempts to explain that this statement doesn't mean that one can output more force than the other. This ends up being a small concession in the beginning, but Kakuzu is one of the oldest members of the akatsuki and has been assassinating people for money for a long time. He could be the deadliest in respect to how much death he's caused. There is no reason that deadliest pertains to combat strength or Destructive Capacity. Deidara is weaker than Sasori and would lose to him in a fight, but Sasori has much lower destructive capacity and arguably attack potency. This is also true for Itachi who is obviously stronger than Deidara but would not be able to cause the same level of destruction that Deidara can. Saying that Kakuzu's ninjutsu or punches must be equal to the power of Deidara's explosives is as pointless as saying that because shikamara is a Chunin on the Sasuke retrieval mission that he must be able to output as much force as the rasengan. There are other ways for Kakuzu to be deadlier than Deidara without having the same attack potency, like in Sasori's case with poison, dexterity, and versatility. 2. Durability of the paths of pain This will be a recurring issue, but originally Swag claims that the abilities that the individual Paths of pain possess should be included in the assessment of their durability. Noodles clarifies that he's looking for base physical durability without hax included while simultaneously claiming that those abilities don't actually factor into the Pains' durability. The issue with this is that you can't disregard the information because it isn't relevant due to you having asked a different question then diminish the efficacy of that ability in the same breath. If you're arguing Kakuzu's stats, it's up to your opponent to argue Pain's. Trying to nullify the argument ahead of time by dismissal as opposed to disproving is in poor taste (especially because Noodles said himself that they would get to the hax part later--essentially "we'll get to it later, but it's irrelevant."). Lack of etiquette. 3. "A" Clay Bomb Based on the wording for this specific statement, Noodles attempts to claim that Deidara dropping an average clay bomb took out the 3-tails. He relates this to Kakuzu being deadlier than Deidara by implying that Kakuzu can output as much force as Deidara. Swag's argument is that the wording doesn't mean that only Deidara's one attack put the 3 tails down. But also Swag says that even if this were the case, that doesn't mean that Kakuzu has the same attack potency. -----> 3.1 Occam's Razor Noodles claims that they must use the simplest explanation to say that they must assume that Deidara must have used a basic level bomb to defeat the 3-Tails. Due to the fact that Sasuke had survived being blown up by a bomb that hit his wing in Curse State 2 (and he didn't even lose the battle), it is safe to assume that Deidara's standard bombs don't pack bijuu level attack potency or that what he used on the 3-tails was stronger. Using Occam's razor to imply that we must accept that Deidara's fodder attacks are 3-Tails level while also ignoring that this means that Sasuke's wing would also have 3-tails level durability and Gaara's face would as well (because he took point blank bombs to the face) is an oversight and undermines his point. It is more likely that Deidara used a special bomb for the 3-tails to differentiate it from the other two examples if we accept that he only used one bomb. 3. "A" Clay Bomb Furthermore, with the revelation that Obito helped out with the fight against the 3-tails there is much more contention. The statement "Deidara uses a clay bomb and captures the 3-tails" is not a commentary of the entirety of what happens. There are no indicators such as "only" or "just" to squarely indicate exclusivity. Therefore, even if the statement read "Deidara uses a clay bomb [to] capture the 3-tails" as Swag suggests would be the version that aides Noodles argument, there is still no time distinction meaning the statement is still not exclusive to only one explosive. "Naruto used a Rasengan and defeated Kabuto." In this example, we can go to the reference material and say that the only thing naruto did was hit kabuto with a rasengan. A singular rasengan was all he threw. "Naruto used a Rasengan and defeated the 3rd raikage." This is also an instance where naruto did use a single rasengan to defeat the raikage--but there was also a lot of things that took place before that moment. The rasengan was only the decisive blow. "Naruto used a shadow clone to fool Neji and won the battle." Naruto did Fool neji with a clone at the end of their battle, but he also used several other clones and the ninetails chakra in that fight. Also the battle was decided by a punch but it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that naruto used a Shadow clone and defeated Neji. My point is, each one of these statements^^^ uses "a" to describe a singular thing that exists non-exclusively within the fight. There can still be others not covered by this statement that are relevant nonetheless for our purposes as debaters. You have to prove an exclusive link between the "a" and the object. Finally, there is a time cut between the start of the 3-tails fight and the conclusion which is where obito asks if Deidara saw his jutsu (meaning that obito did have time to use a jutsu). This further casts doubt on the idea that Deidara swooped in and simply blew up the 3-tails in one go. Occam's Razor would suggest that the time cut between the first attack and the conclusion of the battle implies that more happened between. 4. You don't know how possibilities work Swag detracts from the positive claim "We know Deidara only used one paper bomb due to the wording" using the possibilities that Deidara used more than one. Noodles responds by saying that because his assertion is more likely than those other possibilities that using them is baseless assumption--which is flawed. When making a positive claim (x is y because z), that assertion should be a direct relationship caused by the proposition. If one can point out alternative possibilities, then one has undermined the positive claim by casting doubt. Basic argumentation. In other words, Swag isn't claiming that Noodles CAN'T be right, but he is pointing out that he could be wrong which means that Noodles is the one dealing in possibilities. He is basing his argument on the possibility that Deidara one shot the 3-tails and not the certainty. The fact that there is a cut between Deidara launching his attack and capturing the 3-tails without any indication of the cut picking up right after he launched his attack is a realistic debunk of the one-shot take. Isobu got off-screened, not one shot. Even if he was one-shot, this was off-screen and not stated so it is therefore technically invalid. Pt. 1 Fin. Hit the character limit for now, so this is a good place to end the first part. Won't take long for me to come back with the next one, so see ya soon!

[@romeospells2487]

Pt. 2 We're starting up at 24:08 5. Can Kakuzu's punches knock out the 3 tails Noodles states that he still believes that Kakuzu scales about Deidara's 2nd strongest bomb (most likely referring to Kakuzu being deadlier than Deidara as an explanation again--which is erroneous to begin with). In pressing him about this swag asks if Kakuzu hit Asuma and if he was fine afterwards. Noodles implies that since Asuma doesn't have any scaling outside of Kakuzu that it's not an anti feat or a way of downplaying Kakuzu. To this, I would simply say that Asuma has no scaling that places him in the level of power of the 3-tails or that level of durability. So at the very least we reasonably can conclude that base Kakuzu's punches are not 3-tail level or on the same level as Deidara's bomb that he theoretically used to one-shot the 3-tails. Furthermore looking back at part one when Asuma did fight Kisame and Itachi, itachi believed that Kisame would be able to dispatch Kurenai and Asuma without causing a scene, but not Kakashi. Whether this is because Kakashi is a more troublesome or adept fighter than Asuma and Kurenai, or because he is blatantly stronger than the two, is up in the air. It is debatable that Kakashi should scale somewhat above Asuma based on this as the only real scaling that he has in the series. This wouldn't be inconsistent since Asuma also scales above Hidan like Kakashi but admittedly this is me adding context into the argument that isn't present in the debate. I'll try to stick to the content provided. ----------> 5.1 Asuma and Pain don't share any scaling Swag asks Noodles if Asuma would survive the chidori and Noodles implies that Pain didn't either. Swag responds by pointing out that the Asura path did get hit by the chidori and didn't die. While it was incapacitated, it was still able to fire off attacks and threaten Choji's life. Noodles responds with an argument that this doesn't mean that the Asura path scales above asuma since durability and survivability are two different things--which to Noodles credit is true. The example he uses of a zombie isn't the worst comparison as a zombie can continue crawling without both legs, but you wouldn't say that the zombie has shotgun level durability just because it's still moving after its legs were blown off due to the significant decrease in capability it experiences after the attack. Now, that said, an oversight on both participants part regarding the comparison between Asuma surviving Kakuzu's punches and the Asura path surviving the raikiri are not comparable. Asuma barely taking damage from Kakuzu's punch and the Asura path taking massive damage from a Raikiri cannot be quantifiably measured/compared unless you take into account that Kakuzu's punches are supposed to be 3-tails level according to Noodles earlier point. At the very least the only two logical conclusions are that Asuma scales far above the paths of pain if Kakuzu's punches are 3-tails level (because the Raikiri clearly isn't) or that Kakuzu's attack potency scales far below the raikiri on a physical level which undermines the idea that his punches are 3-tails level. (The conversation they have about choji in an attempt to scale him above Asuma is wasted effort). 6. Holding back Swag says that Since Pain is blocking punches from Sage naruto and Asuma survived Kakuzu's punches, pain should scale above Asuma. Swag says that since Kakuzu swapped hands with KCM naruto in the war that he can essentially be scaled to KCM, but swag tries to counter this by saying Naruto was holding back as he was fighting Kakuzu with a shadow clone and trying to conserve stamina. Noodles counters by saying that unless there is a statement or implicative evidence that we can't assume that the person is holding back. Noodles then goes on to say that because Kakuzu when he enters his next form is stated to have his chakra swell accordingly that he was holding back. Swag says that this doesn't mean he was necessarily holding back but that he transformed and Noodles condescendingly says, "Swag. Did you just say that outloud?" So, breaking this section down, there's a little more chatting on the subject before Swag concedes and they move on to speed, but Noodles issue here is that he's making points that don't benefit his argument as a whole while also making poor arguments. By saying that someone not using their maximum form or abilities means they're holding back, he is admitting that the KCM naruto that fought Kakuzu was holding back because it was a clone and not the real Naruto (shadow clones are weaker and have limited chakra) meaning that we can't scale Kakuzu to KCM from that alone. Furthermore, this implies that because it wasn't stated that Kakuzu was holding back when fighting team asuma that he was going all out with each punch. Bottom line, it's a weird argument and it doesn't work to prove or disprove anything. Sometimes characters put their all into their attacks, sometimes they intentionally hold back and it's stated, and other times the way that they fight simply doesn't encourage them to go all out from the beginning. The best way to describe this particular argument is frivolous--it only muddies the conversation and is inherently arbitrary. If you want to make a case that someone is holding back, you definitely can. All you have to do is provide supporting evidence--such as, "Naruto is conserving his strength so that his clones can visit as many battlefields as possible." Solid. 7. Speed Blitz "Through Speed, not through some kind of other ability." In this section Noodles claims that Kakuzu Speed blitzes Naruto and his clones but that naruto is saved by kakashi and Yamato. Noodles defines blitz as a person being overwhelmed by the speed of another before they're able to react. The claim is that Kakazu is in a higher speed tier than Naruto and that because Kakuzu was able to defeat Naruto's clones and nearly kill him that he is above base naruto in speed. Noodles even says specifically that Kakuzu's Tentacles are faster. The weird thing about this argument is that Kakuzu's tentacles are "some kind of other ability" as opposed to a matter of his speed. They have much longer range and also there's a massive amount of them. To say that Naruto being overwhelmed or tagged by Kakuzu's tentacles is a matter of Kakuzu's combat speed in this form ignores the fact that naruto doesn't have any tools to deal with them even if he is fast enough to react to them (kakashi is shown using the raikiri to cut them, which suggests that they are durable). It's not like Naruto could pull out a kunai and deal with them--which is evidenced by the fact that before Kakashi saves him, Naruto is basically dead to rights. So calling this a speed blitz is already strange, but what this actually does do for Noodles argument in building up kakuzu is to characterize the durability of his tentacles and threads. We can say pretty definitively that Kakuzu is consistently shown at Kakashi's level of speed. Using this contentious scaling doesn't change that. 8. Dishevel Leveled Swag brings up that Naruto should be fatigued here considering his training and that Kakuzu remarks that Naruto looks disheveled. Noodles denies this and says that disheveled only means that he essentially looks untidy, comparing naruto's appearance to if he'd just gotten out of bed that morning. Swag responds that training for 3 days is not comparable to getting out of bed and this point devolves into Noodles claiming that Swag can't prove that Naruto is fatigued by the training. Narrative implications are real. They are technically more important than scaling when comparing characters and the like because if the scaling contradicts the narrative then the scaling should adjust to match the narrative (since the author's intent matches the narrative). Now this is not iron clad 100% all the time, but the reason this is important is because the question "Why does Kakuzu point out Naruto's appearance," informs the question of if Naruto is fatigued. From a narrative perspective, Kakuzu isn't some frivolous character who judges people's appearances and Naruto isn't commonly regarded as Disheveled compared to the rest of the cast. Most of the ninja on or coming to a battlefield did so by high-speed travel, so nobody reasonably is meant to look pristine and fresh pressed. So Kakuzu pointing out Naruto's appearance here is narratively significant. What we can draw from this is that Naruto came straight from training and that the training was reasonably intense because he is visibly worn, dirty, or disheveled. Especially with the content of Naruto's training involving being suppressed by Yamato (due to the nine tails) and taking damage, we can further support this narrative. But again, Noodles here is making the argument that if the story doesn't explicitly state something then we can't assume that thing even though the story heavily implies it. It's again a weird argument for him to make since the story doesn't explicitly state or even imply at all that Kakuzu is stronger than pain. Js -------->8.1 Regeneration Noodles also makes this argument that regeneration in Naruto regenerates stamina as well as damage. I understand that Noodles is saying that Naruto can't be experiencing muscular tenderness and stuff since he can heal and therefore he wouldn't be fatigued, but the idea that Naruto's energy levels can be low even while his chakra levels are high is still true (otherwise ninja would never fall asleep unless they experienced combat). He can still not be at his best because he's been exerting himself without proper rest--indicated by his appearance. I swear this section has so many issues that I can barely sort the problems out neatly (went over the word count so I had to delete a couple points). Man I'm barely 45 minutes in and I've only addressed arguments.

Noodle annoyed hearing sound: please dont do that again Also Noodle: Kakazu might not have heard it

The fact that people actually think that kakuzu is stronger than pain shows that power scalers are weird

[@philosopher9672]

Nobody actually thinks that, its just a Debate Lord Starter Pack

[@Im_Him1234]

Bro, rewatching this, it's so stupid. Noodles blamed having to work when they were gonna get into Pain's argument, and never let Swag talk about Pain unless it was reference to matching or being on par with Kakazu. I just want to see a pt 2 which probably won't happen just cause Noodles doesn't want to get shut down. Swag was staying respectful and not cutting him off every second, unlike Noodles which I still think is highly unfair cause he never got to present his argument.

[@aplahet3867]

like it or not, swag committed MULTIPLE fallacies that noodles didn't call out (which he usually does), and swag not scaling pain's durability is his fault for letting noodles avoid that

[@DHAYProductions]

@@aplahet3867 Like it or not, Noodles contradicted himself multiple times and noodle's avoiding the durability points of Pain by telling Swag his turn would come later was super slimy.

[@aplahet3867]

@@DHAYProductions it was entirely swag's fault for letting it go by. Instead of moving on, he should have forced noodles to listen. i love swag (more than noodles) but he got HARD baited into losing

[@DHAYProductions]

@@aplahet3867 Maybe. Noodles seems like someone who wouldn't listen no matter how much you talked, though. My man was saying some very disingenuous stuff to try and win the debate, like the stuff about Asuma and Shikamaru. I would have given up like Swag, because it's just not worth it. And as far as I'm aware, they never went back for part 2.

Theres no possible way anyone truly believes kakazu could defeat pain right??

Noodles does🤦‍♀️ and we see how sad that was

[@coin4898]

Yeah some shit dosent need to be debated about, some people are just stronger narrative wise Liie come on why ask if kakuzu could beat someone like fucking killer bee or sum?

[@andrewbowman2885]

Bro why would the authors have naruto appear in the Kakazu fight all scuffed up and why would they even go as far as to have Kakazu recognize and state that Naruto is “disheveled” if not to communicate that he was deployed to the battlefield straight from the Leaf’s training grounds (which he didn’t leave the entire 3 day span he was training). If he left straight from the training grounds without any break he would irrefutably be fatigued to some degree, and though that degree is unquantifiable it is still a narrative argument that implies he is not able to output his full power.

Kakuzu weakness is money all pain gotta do is give him money and wins

[@bloodyyszn]

no kakazu wins because now pain is poor and is in debt

Thanks for watching the debate guys! Next week we’re doing Obito vs rock lee, look forward to it!

[@noahfaulkner3774]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ICantSnipe88]

Clearly rock lee wins because, due to his lack of chakra which in theory shouldn’t allow him to move as fast as he does but he’s just a genius, doesn’t allow him to be affected at all by any chakra attacks nor by genjustu cause everyone knows genjustsu affects the victims chakra, which rock lee doesn’t have.
