this video is brought to you by Squarespace kimimaru is one of those characters that appears only for a couple of chapters and leaves a very Lasting Impression in the fandom it was very cool looking his design was great and also his powers were so unorthodox he even said it himself his character was also not bad and he came in a very good moment of the story one of the best arcs in the entire series The Sasuke retrieval Arc but then there is a question how strong was this guy really who would be the most powerful
opponents he could face against because if you think about it when he fought against Lee and Gara he was essentially a dead man walking moving through sheer willpower because he wanted to serve Orochimaru until The Bitter End but his disease was so far developed that he didn't have much time left so much so that he actually died during the fight against Gara because he just expired so first we have to analyze of course the fights kimimaru was in how people analyze him as a fighter and then his feet during the war Arc kimaru's first Display
of Power was when he managed to casually defeat an army of Naruto Shadow clones enhanced by the QV chakra the Clones didn't have the nine tails as chakra or anything like that but they did have red eyes and slits for the pupils so obviously this is not an unimpressive feat because we see that even Naruto Shadow clones and part 1 can be very powerful swarming their opponent and these clones were amped kimara just didn't even register them we then gets a better feeling for what kinimaru can do against Rock Lee Rockley arrives and fights kimimaru
in base at first and kimimaru seems to be pretty much above rockly in that fights granted Rockley was fresh out of the hospital just out of surgery they were pretty relative to each other but it was clear that kimaro had the advantage but then of course you have to take into account Lee's condition there when Lee gets a little bit drunk and gets a massive amp then of course he presses kimimaro down and kimaro has to resort to the first stage of his curse mark to actually combat drunk fist lead but still kimimaru manages to
beat drunkly with a bit of an M from his curse mark and then Gara has to save him and we know what happened to the fight against Gara sure Garo was beating kimimaru and curse mark one and he had absolutely no chance against him but with Curse Mark II it was a different story kimimaru was powerful enough to punch through gara's sand and bypass his armor and shield just with sheer hour girl tried to bury him hundreds of meters down and still kimaro managed to do that final Jutsu sprouting out a forest of Bones from
the sand and almost killingara in the process had he not died and expired so it's fair to say that kimimaru actually won the fight against Gara and raw clay I mean if he wasn't sick he would have won at least and despite the scale of the attacks used in that fight Gara was using sand tsunamis they were gigantic inside of the forest kimimaru was doing that insane bone jutsus with well his Curse Mark II and just completely altering the battlefield with him that was probably the most high level fights in the Sasuke retrieval Arc safer
maybe Naruto versus Sasuke when they go Curse Mark II and QB chakra cloak but even still it's very debatable if Sasuke and Naruto would actually be able to beat kimimaru sure kimaru could probably not last very long against them especially if they will go with their most powerful amps but Sasuke and Naruto can't keep those M's for very long either we also have to analyze how other characters treated kimimaru Kabuto for instance thought kimar was by far the most powerful asset they had and he thought it was a shame he was about to die and
so did Orochimaru to be honest it was supposed to be orochimaru's next body and of course original didn't take him because he was dying of a disease but the most interesting thing Orochimaru says about kimimaru is that had he been healthier during The konoha Invasion when orochimar was trying to kill the third Hokage they would have been more successful where tomorrow says that if kimara was there then killing heroism would have been much smoother and this is kind of a big deal I mean of course foreign wouldn't even be close to do that but Orochimaru
implies that he would have wanted kimimaro's help his direct help during the heroes and fight the other members of the South 4 were used during that fight but they were just there to use the barriers so that nobody could interrupt hirosin and rochimaru I'm not sure kimara would have swayed the tides of battle that much as much as or tomorrow is saying there but still it's impressive that Orochimaru would even think that implying he has at least jonen level if not higher and then well of course he dies but we see him one more time
during the war granted he doesn't get a lot to do in the war he was much more of a background character in the war and atotency that was used to fight against the alliance but even though we didn't really see him that much on screen what he did was not sort of impressive because he kept up with a KCM Naruto clone and he wasn't sealed kimimaru thought non-stop against the samurai Army granted he had held from chiu and a couple of other Arrow tenses but he fought against an army and then of course Casey and
one Naruto shows up in every single Battlefield of the war and he helps sealing a dozen or so at offense a very powerful ones lateral kages like the third reichagi which at Naruto clone literally soloed and then move the second to Chicago which Naruto kind of sold but had some help with the Nokia and all that and kimimaru wasn't sealed during the work he was dispelled like many other Arrow 10 says when Itachi undid the Jutsu when he defeated Kabuto so maybe they just didn't have any means to silkimimaru because they were the samurai there
and also Naruto they never ever showed any ceiling juices as far as we can tell in that point of the story and maybe Kimo just kind of outlasted them because the arrow tendency can just regenerate forever but that doesn't seem to be the case it seems as though they were fighting kinda had to head there and this is absolutely impressive because KCM one hour toe is no joke he was able to dodge the raikagi at full power meaning he's extremely fast and you know kimimaru in part one was relative to base Rock Lee fresh out
of the hospital which kind of implies that the Edo tensei version was brought back as a more Prime kimimaru than the one who was about to die from his sickness or maybe he didn't really have any limitations because with an immortal body the sickness wouldn't really be a thing and therefore he could unleash everything he had even though it's a little bit nerfed by the edotensei he would still be more powerful than the sick version needless to say he is probably very high Joan level without his sickness maybe low cargo level who knows let's try
to analyze this guy in terms of just strength and who he could beat it could be to every single member of the konoha 12 by the end of Naruto Shippuden granted we don't know about Naruto and Sasuke we're going to get to them later and also the three Sans siblings except for gara when he is sick but we see that if kimara wasn't sick he would have beaten Gara Naruto and Sasuke maybe if they use their highest amps in the Valley of the end you know they could beat kimimaru but I don't really see that
because kimuru can Harden his skin with bone and well I just think the Rasengan wouldn't do much to that maybe the Chidori could just Pierce through it but it's probably difficult now let's move on to the jonans of the Lee Village in part one now kuranai kimaru's got that one of the bag I mean we only see coronai fighting once in the series and it's against Itachi literally the worst opponent for her but then again kimimaru is powerful now maybe karuna can get him and again Jutsu and win the fight but in just a physical
confrontation kimara would absolutely destroy her before we continue I'd like to talk about today's monster Squarespace which is the best tool out there for you to create your own website Squarespace makes the process of making your website much much easier than you expect and I have to hire someone that knows code you don't have to do anything like that you just have to log in their website and there too allows you to create websites with professional quality and the tools that are available to you are easy to use and very intuitive they have several templates

pretty difficult fight for asthma but maybe he can win with his wind style Schooners and stuff maybe they can break through Kimora's bones because that's the thing his defense is too powerful now his bones did break when he attacked gara's Shield amped by the minerals on the ground they were the most resistant minerals so there's an upper limit to that maybe this would mean that attacks like the Chidori and the rossengan when they're amps and even awesome as kunai will be able to pierce through his bone skin but then again Gara crushed him with his
sand coffin for real and the guy didn't Flinch might guy in Kakashi they're different store is there a much more powerful jonan of course they would beat kimimaru but guy wouldn't have to use his gates in order to do so and Kakashi really have to land a good Chidori now there's also the outlasting way but of course we're trying to portray kimaro here in his prime when fighting against the Jones in the league Village because yeah he wouldn't do very well in his sixth state but because he was able to contend against Casey in one
Naruto he definitely has a chance to you know put up a fight here I could even see him maybe beating guy in Kakashi if he is in his prime now of course his body wouldn't be able to regenerate like the edotensei body would in the work and that's maybe the reason why he was able to fight so much against Casey monarcho but still it's very impressive but guy is just extremely strong and Kakashi has a thousand jutsus he can pull from and a lot of strategy that he can Implement he would also be able to
deduce Kimora's abilities and the most effective way to encounter them so Kakashi and guy they do get that obviously kimaru beats every single member of the sound 4 but he doesn't beat say heroes in by himself or Orochimaru or Itachi or Kisame when we talk about part 1 antagonists there's Haku and Zabuza which are far more interesting in my opinion I think he has a very interesting matchup against Haku two very special KK genkai users with a lot of talents that were cut short by circumstances of life it would just be very interesting to see
the ice versus the bones but in the end of the day kimimaru would beat Haku it would be an interesting fight but not very interesting in terms of difficulty Haku lost to an amped Naruto you know the nine tails Docker was definitely oozing out of his body there and that's because well he was pissed and he won the fight against hakubat kimimaru yes they were clowns but he casually destroyed a thousand the Naruto coins they were also amped by the QB chakra and this is just a lot of difference here and then there's zabuzz and
well kimimaru probably wins this but I think it's more difficult than hagonal because obso says Hawk was more powerful than I am but I've always assumed he was meaning his talent and at his sheer strength so kimimaru has a pretty good chance here because it's obviously Kakashi is stronger than zabazo and Kakashi gets serious in the bridge he absolutely demolishes Zabuza and kimimaru would have the ability to absolutely negate zabuza's attacks I don't see him cutting through kimimaru with his sword the bones would simply tank it's a probably killer takes this one against zabza actually
and now let's go to Naruto Shippuden now when Sasuke returns he is already much more powerful than kimimaru was so kimaru cannot beat any Sasuke version after the time skip this is very obvious but then there's other people that are interesting obviously kimar would beat post times keep Sakura up until she gets the biakugo ceiling I don't see her beating kimara in any way and the other konohai 11 members I don't see them winning against kimimaru up until the war Arc at least I mean Kiba never wins against gay Marvel and neither does joji Eno
Hinata Shino probably has a good chance of winning an early Shippuden because his insects are just very hard to deal with if they touch you you're done they absolutely drain you of your chakra and I was going to say maybe Shino in part 1 could beat kimimaru but I think this would be a stretch but she knows insects they're just very powerful people don't get him enough credit shikamar would also probably be able to beat Kimora just for sheer strategy and getting around his abilities even though he was just broadly be able to do that
in the work and Neji and Lee would be able to beat kimaro by the war work as well especially Lee who's cutting matara in half with a kick Naruto doesn't really beat kimimaru up until he gets Sage Mode he definitely loses to kimimaru right after the time skip because he wouldn't be able to do much more unless he goes you know Four Tails then of course he absolutely demolishes kimimaru but then again even when he learns the Ross and shuriken that's a difficult Jutsu to land and maybe kimuru's bones can even tank that now that
that's really a stretch a very big stretch if Naruto lands the Russian shuriken camera is probably dead but then again how is it going to lend that maybe using the distraction he used against Cox but I never liked that fight like four clones is enough to distract a 90 year old man Cox's 90 years old he's one of the most experienced ninjas living maybe the most experienced ninja living and he falls for 400 to Shadow clones and gets Ross and shuriken twice maybe kimara would fall for them but he didn't fall for a thousand Naruto
clones that were amped by the QB chakra before so I don't see him falling for four here but then Sage will Naruto I mean he know Dev schema obviously even though Casey in one Naruto had trouble with him but well maybe just because he was a nettle tensei that didn't have a way to steal him it's weird we didn't see how that fight played out so we cannot assume too much just that well Kumar was able to hold his own Chio would be able to beat kimimaru with her tan puppets they're just too powerful but
now it's interesting to talk about the Akatsuki members and whether or not kimur could beat any of them he done yes absolutely kimaru would destroy Hidan no problem now you could say hi Don can extract kimimaru's blood and just do the ritual but then again Kumar is better than him and even if Hidan manages to strike him with his Scythe he can just Banff out his bones and use them as a shield you know those spiky protrusions that come out of his body and that just negate taijutsu attacks he could just use that and not
even allow the Scythe to touch his skin to draw blood so yeah he does the weakest of cost camera he would lose to kimimaru he lost to Asuma then there's zetsu and zetsu is another one kimara can take granted black satsu was able to contend against the Mizu hoggy for a good while you know bone style wood style which one's better I don't know because that's his father I'll give this one to kimimara because they like him better than zetsu yes I'm biased and then we get to kakuzu another bottom tier in the Akatsuki strength
list and I think this is probably where the line is drawn the most powerful opponent kimaro can probably take by his own would he be able to beat kakuzu I don't think so even if you consider kimimaru in his prime he would still have five hearts with an elemental transformation each to combat kimimaru now yes he can use his jutsus to remain almost immune to attacks but kakuzu hits pretty hard eventually kimono would Buckle maybe he would take out one or two maybe even three hearts if you go very deep into it but I don't
see him doing much more than that against caucuser the other Koski members wouldn't have a lot of trouble against kimaru obviously the Kanye would also beat him the sonen and the other antagonists that come later in the story because they just got so much more powerful but it's interesting that this guy was powerful enough for Kabuto to bring him back as Neto tensei he wasn't just doing that with everyone and he does have an interesting Arc granted it's kind of like haku's Arc he was used as a tool by Orochimaru completely brainwashed by him and
he couldn't escape his final curse the curse of being in service to Orochimaru until he died he thought was his hero uh well kinda like Haku because Haku also sacrificed his life to save Zabuza and kimara's sacrifice also wore to orochimaru's favor because Sasuke was able to get to him and if kimimaru hadn't arrived in the Sasuke retrieval Arc then it's very clear that the leaf team would have brought Sasuke back blem in the comments below who do you think kimimaru could have beaten in the story the strongest opponent he could have faced and actually
