I really wish we were able to see Fugaku in combat. The fact that he was compared to people like minato and sakumo for the hokage title speaks volume. Also absolutely love his mangekyo design. It’s very unique

I hope we to get see more of Fugaku during the Minato stories. Seeing the fathers of Naruto and Sasuke interacting together on their come up would be fan service for me.

It'll be cool if instead of amatarasu, his eye increased an emotion in his target and he used it in war, if you have a tiny bit of fear, he can amplify that fear to make him look wickedly intimidating

Fugaku def got the best mangekyou design

I can't imagine Fugaku _not_ having a Mangekyo Sharingan. It might be a rare power in a Clan where even awakening a normal Sharingan isn't guaranteed, but there always seemed to be at least a handful of wielders at any given time for each generation, and Fugaku had to live through the effects of _two_ Great Wars, even if he wasn't old enough to actually _fight_ in one of them; that's plenty of time and opportunity for traumatic awakening to occur. That said, I'm not so sure about the proposed Genjutsu ability... it seems too complicated for a MS Ability. I wager it's something much more simple, like instilling an _intense_ sense of terror into an opponent, no illusion necessary. Think about Orochimaru projecting his killing-intent during the Chunin Exams, then amplify that a few times over... on _eye-contact_ alone. You want to stop a conflict bloodlessly? Abuse the survival instinct that all beings possess, and make them run in fear.

The only thing I’m confident about with Fugaku’s MS is that he didn’t have Amaterasu. I say this because when Itachi used it against Jiriya, Jiriya acted as if he has never seen it before and had no idea what it was until he just saw it. With Fugaku being Minatos rival and someone Jiriya most definitely would have know a lot about I don’t see how he could have had Amaterasu and Jiriya not know or see it used. So if Fugaku had Amaterasu how did Jiriya not recognize it immediately when Itachi did it? Y was Jiriya caught off guard and appear to not know what it was?

If Bishimon is what Fugaku’s MS ability is and the link between MS abilities and family members is there a cool Kakashi and Sakumo moment between Sarada and Fugaku where he explains his MS ability to her and how it would help her against Eida would be an awesome scene

Fugaku surely had it really hard. He had two positions that conflicted with each other: head of clan and protector of the village. He chose to go with the family. Itachi went with the village. Itachi saw the bigger picture basically, but it's not that simple given that Fugaku was way closer to his clan members. Tobirama really fostered some tough times for the clan.

I love this guy he explains abilities so well

I really like the Bishamon ability you give him, I think it's perfectly suited to his personality and what we know of him, but I think his other eye was Tsukiyomi, for purely symbolic reasons. In Naruto, the Sun represents Hope, Overt Action, Being a Source of Strength, Yang Release, and Asura/The Senju, while the Moon represents Despair, Underhandedness, Taking/Using the Strength of Others, Yin Release, and Indra/The Uchiha. Amaterasu in the Goddess of the Sun, while Tsukiyomi was the God of the Moon. The fact that both Sasuke and Itachi have Amaterasu is a huge symbolic thing; it represents them both being willing to take decisive action, both having confidence to stand alone against the world, and being juxtaposed to the will of the Uchiha bloodline (Itachi by choosing Konoha over the clan, and Sasuke by ending the curse of hatred once and for all). Their secondary abilities explain their conflict within that tradjectory: Itachi has Tsukiyomi to symbolize him being stuck between Konoha and his Clan and wanting to change reality, while Sasuke has Kagatsuchi to symbolize his struggle to push his power beyond its bounds and burn EVERYTHING down. However, Fugaku doesn't strike me as a particularly "active" character in the series. Yes, he's the head of the clan and police force, but what little of him we get to see interacting with others shows him to be a stern, quiet, and reserved individual. He doesn't give praise to Sasuke openly, he doesn't spend time with his sons, he expects a lot from people and doesn't seem to "do" a lot even when taking action. This extends to his role in the coup; at first he argued AGAINST the coup, not wanting to bring unrest to Konoha or put his clan in danger, until later he agreed to lead it on the condition that it be a targeted strike against the leadership so as to not cause unnecessary suffering. Even when Itachi came to kill their whole clan in the night, Fugaku never fought back. He accepted his son's decision and refused to fight against it. Every action he takes is precise, secretive, overwhelming and efficient, and I believe that's because he is in true alignment with the symbology of the Moon. He uses roundabout methods rather than physical force, he uses the strength of others by using his son as a spy and relying on his clan, and he seems unwilling to take actions himself unless forced to. At the same time, his interactions with Itachi show without a doubt that he is opposed to war and the coup, which is why he brought his son to that battlefield in the first place; to instill in him the terrible reality of war. So why did he agree to the coup when he hated it and rejected it? Because he loved both his clan and Konoha and wanted to protect them both from future harm, the same as Itachi did. Therefore, I think the familial link in MS powers is between Fugaku and Itachi with Tsukiyomi, the power to rewrite reality and dilate time within a genjutsu. Both of them felt torn between their two sides and desired to change reality, but while Itachi possessed Amaterasu, a symbol of Hope and Overt Action, Fugaku possessed Bishamon, a symbol of Duty and Protection, and so Fugaku fell in line with the Uchiha and their Curse of Hatred while Itachi chose to fight against it. Which makes it heartbreaking to realize the reason Fugaku didn't fight back during the Uchiha massacre wasn't because he couldn't or because he gave up, but because he RECOGNIZED the reality of the Uchiha's plans and goals and knew that they were wrong. But as head of the clan, as their sworn protector, Fugaku couldn't make the choice to stop his clan from doing this, but Itachi could and did. And so by not fighting back against Itachi, both Fugaku and Mikoto were silently declaring their love for him and support of him taking on this burden that neither of them were able to. They entrusted the future of the clan and their sons to Itachi, and though it was super roundabout and needlessly dramatic, Itachi did right by their faith in him in the end.

For yall who dont want to watch the full video: Eye 1: Amaterasu (canon) - Amaterasu is inextinguishable black flames that can be cast by the user. It costs your eye to bleed. Eye 2: Bishamonten (custom) - It protects, bloodlessly, to a degree. It is a genjutsu that imparts the caster’s will on whoever he casted it upon. Instead of playing with your senses, it plays with your perception of reality. In a way, it forces someone to fight for the caster’s side.

One of the characters that I wish we saw more of ❤

This is why a Minato anime serious would be Godtier

You know nick, I’ve got to say you have the perfect blend of informative and entertaining naruto content. It’s so refreshing and great for both watching or just listening along. It’s like listening to my friend tell me about the new naruto lore he found out about while we’re playing games

When I was a kid I hated Fugaku but as I’ve gotten older I’ve really started to like him and wished there was more info on him. I’m hoping to see more of him in the upcoming Minato manga 💜🖤

Hell yes, I love Fugaku, I can tell I'm going to enjoy this video. Can you make theories on Sakumo Hatake next

Also, I doubt Kakashi would've seen Itachi's amaterasu after awakening his MS. Kakashi was quite surprised to see amaterasu after the fight between Itachi and Sasuke. So Fugaku having an Amaterasu and using it in the 3rd shinobi war might actually be the reason why Kakashi knew about the existance of Amaterasu and Jiraiya knowing to seal the Amaterasu in a scroll.

I do like the idea of Fugaku’s Bishamonten ability being a will-altering genjutsu; my first thought was a more physical thing, some kind of barrier he could create to shield those around him. A genjutsu boost doesn’t really seem to be necessary for controlling the 9-Tails, as Obito did it just fine without using his MS. Anyway, having this idea immediately sent me spiraling off towards thoughts of Itachi’s Yata Mirror. Google searches then made me painfully aware of a great deal of confusion about the nature of spirit weapons in Naruto- how does one get a spirit weapon? Are they granted by some higher power? Or are they physical things that can be found like Orochimaru implies when he discovers Itachi had some? Can they be inherited from someone else who owned one? Did Fugaku have the Yata Mirror or Totsuka Blade or were those entirely new and unique to Itachi?

Seriously though that’s brilliant. Good job piecing that together man. Love it.

What if his ms is torture based like how Itachi uses Tsukuyomi but way worse as it would be solely based on torture or he can enforce his will on your body instead of your mind.. in this scenario he could control one’s body as a perfect puppet and force you to witness how he kills each of your comrades as you watch from within

We need to learn more about Fugaku as he is literally the father of Sasuke and Itachi.

Before it starts I'ma go and say gengutsu and ametarasu

I LOVE YOUR THEORY MAN. I was already thinking something along those lines too!!

“An informed hypothesis is just as good as an answer!” 🔥

How did I get this 3 seconds after upload lol

I reckon madaras eye can see through shadow clones cuz he can see your soul. It would explain why he is able to see through any clone and with the help of the rennigan he can preserve his own. Also explains why he gets along with the first homage despite being polar opposite cuz he can read his soul

nick out here giving Kishimoto ideas for when the well runs dry

Your deductive reason is uncanny. Great video man! Regardless being right or wrong great logic.

I enjoyed this theory and it makes sense. Tho I will say I have always thought part of his MS abilities was the ability to see a persons true intentions. Examples. 1) He wasn’t surprised and was ready when Itachi showed up and knew his son was doing what he felt was the best thing out of a stack of nothing but horrible outcomes. 2) He continuously delayed the Uchia coue cause he was able to see that some or many Uchia intended on killing every one in the village and it wouldn’t have ended there causing another world war.

MAKE A SHORT VIDEO ON WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HIDAN USED LADY CHIYOS LIFE TRANSFER JUTSU 😂PLZ

Imagine if Sasuke used tsukiyomi to put Boruto or sadara or literally any other person under years of training within a second. He could raise an army of Genine turning them into jonin level shinobi within seconds, which could be used to make konoha even more powerful. Code could easily defeat naruto without Kurama, but imagine a thousand genine who’ve been put into tsukiyomi to live Naruto’s entire life and who would have the skills and experience of Naruto.

Great video fun watch and those theories make sense

Finally some light on Fugaku.. I’ve always revered him even without seeing his abilities.. it’s a good day fr❤️

I like the concept that he turns opponents to his side......this directly shows how he could effect the 9tails And why konoha thought it Uchiha.....some during the 3rd wwar

I thoroughly enjoy listening to these videos just thank you man

Thats right Nick! Brush that hair forward to hide the thinning and receding.

Not only the strongest of ninja get nicknames. One example I can think of is Might Duy "The Eternal Genin" but to be fair he did coining the term eight inner gates while spending 20 years perfecting it, fought all 7 ninja swordsmen of the mist at the same time and killed 4 of them, and was the father of the strongest taijutsu user since the Ōtsutsuki and Hagoromo; and he stayed the strongest until the other Ōtsutsuki made themselves known. So I guess technically someone could argue Might Duy is an example of how only the strong get nicknames. I'm pretty sure there's someone that wasn't powerful who had a nickname, I just can't think of them right now. Maybe there's not tho, who knows.

There should be a MS ability that lets user interact with other peoples chakra by looking at it. So genjutsu without eye contact, and apply ur nature transformations to other peoples jutsu to amp or null it. Like imagine using it to turn the rikage’s aroumor into fire to burn him. Or on Kisames water bubble.

Perfect vid to watch while I recover from a hangover 😂

nice video nick and i love the old yumbnails keep it goinig it

My theory is that itachi was just supposed to be incredibly strong and the only person at the time with a mongekyo, but when everyone else started power creeping so did fugaku

Why not just name it “What are Fugaku’s MS Abilities” instead of revealed cause it’s not being revealed it’s just being guessed on

love all this MS stuff!

I always learn so much on this channel.

Also Nick is far as nicknames go, might guy got a nickname also, even though he may have assigned it to himself which I don't know if that counts but what was it the blue beast of the leaf? As well as shikaku Nara The Genius of the leaf which then passed to Shikamaru Nara The Genius of the leaf and during the fourth great Shinobi World War. Kushina had the red hot habanero. The three legendary sannin so I don't know if you could call those nicknames. I guess they're more like titles. The copy Ninja Kakashi of the Sharingan.

I'm in the camp that Itachi already planned to give Sasuke his eyes, which we don't know but it's implied that you can't stack EMS on top of each other, so if he had an EMS Sasuke wouldn't be able to get his eyes.

Fresh ashell this video my brotha .. i see you

Love the video and keep up the good work nick

In hammer we trust

Nick, PLEASE stop saying Madara's MS ability is seeing clones! That is a base sharingan ability that was shown twice in Part 1!

Just listening to your podcast lmao

Ok, back with the 🔥🔥🔥🔥 great video . That idea makes sense

Could you analyze Izuna, Baru, Naka, Naori and Rai Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan abilities and make a video on it? Note:- I know they had pretty small screen time in the anime and manga but if you could analyze their MS abilites and let us know it would be great 👍

Madaras ability to see which clones are real is most definitly the best theory so far as to what his ability is because it has ACTUAL evidence and it is something only he can do. Not even ishhiki, the guy who quite literally mopped naruto and sasuke in his weakest form

Keep it going, dont' stop the streak 🥂

I still dont think the ability of madara is to see through shadow clones. if so why is it that kabuto was the one to tell him that the naruto on the battlefield was a shadow clone?

If Naruto had an MS, it would probably resemble his seal on his stomach or his clan symbol like Indra eyes in the the manga (If that’s right). Or maybe a pattern of the Moon and Sun, the sun - a genJUSTU of his ninja way and the moon - an ability no one’s has or seen to erase hatred of corrupted people who has been throw it all. Or something like that if it helps.

Seems to me that Itachi is the outlier and that it is more common for an uchiha to have two mangekyo that are closesly similar. For example sasukes Amaterasu and Obito's kumui. I'd guess that Fugaku had double Tsukiyomi eyes.

Bro on vacation droppin heat still

man your dedication to those videos is really remarkable and you always find interesting topic i discover your channel only 2 weeks ago and i can't stop watching keep going and also i would like more one piece video on the weeb commander if possible ;) ✌

If Naruto had an MS, it would depend fully on when he awakened it. If it happened when Jiraiya died, it might have something to do with improving his skill with "Talk No Jutsu" to talk Pain out of harming others. If it happened when he thought Sasuke died at the bridge battle, it might have something to do with absorbing or blowing away ninjutsu

I think Fugaku having Tsukuyomi would be spot on, for his other ability I believe it'd be a genjtsu as well. Like how sasuke has amaterasu and kagutsuchi to compliment it; Fugaku would have an ability "Fukurokuju" for longevity to further control anyone under Tsukyomi after it's releases and causes what they perceived in Tsukuyomi to blend into reality, and he'd use this to drive enemies on the opposing side into a wicked frenzy or panic.

This is naturally highly speculative, but well researched. I learned a lot and I love it.

He definitely has an ms and I like the ideas of the abilities that you discussed and it makes sense great job

I'm still in the belief that Madara ability is to rewind time and it is a giant plot hole what he didn't use it more. The war arc has a lot of plot holes this is just one of them

Going to take a shot that says saradas ability will to be burn away chakra, more specifically jutsu and more important genjutsu. Her flames will burn away "reality" and fix what is going on currently. And maybe a locolized version where in her space she can bend reality to her will.

I straight up thought you were going to go with the yotto mirror lol

Nick nice with the edict work 😂😂

Aye bro I love the videos!! I am kinda new to the channel and love the content you put out keep it up brother

You should do a ranking of the ninjas with run on site orders

Your description of Fugaku's MS ability kind of reminds me of 9th Prince Halkenberg from Hunter Hunter.

Wow dude that's a great idea. I hope we see more of fugaku in the new minato manga.

Another great video Nick, these get me through the day. Thank you. I do have one question though, if you had to pick either a mythical Zoan or an MS which would you pick? Which one would you pick? And why?

Nice analysis

Nice video!

15:00 perhaps the combination of abilities or the way his Amatarsu functioned

Loved this video. My favorite character.

If there was a Police academy in the Leaf village, Fugaku must’ve been at the top of his class just like his sons were at the Ninja Academy

You never know they could bring fugaku back in a flashback of an early war an show his MS

24:03 you sold me with this line

You should do about a video about ranking all the ninjas who had a run on sight order

10:06 and speedy tenma don’t forget the fastest person in the leaf

Nick’s hair is looking FULL

I think that fugako's first ability is that you theorists about what his ability is but i also think it's Tsukuyumi to say that if his ability is to manifest his will into the enemy but if that didnt work he would use Tsukuyumi to torture so that they would follow his will but just forced or be killed in a bloodless manner. I dont think that one of his abilities is controlling kurama as obito and madara could control him and we know their MS abilities

I could be wrong, but it almost sounds like Fugaku would essentially have the powers of Kotoamatsukami without drawback.

Yo nick can you do a full cook video, anything of your choice and what happened to your unboxing channel?.

9:00 if he took his dads eyes and got EMS, would sauske be able to meld his eyes with an existing EMS? I don’t think that’s how it works. I think itachi was more concerned with sauske getting EMS then he having for himself

Talk no jutsu with his eyes

Thoughts on us finding out some more genuine information/ getting to see some combat from fugaku in the minato manga?

Out of all of this.. shay I loved the most was the backstory of you losing a bunch of weight. I loved it.

I like the way you explain things bro

"The only ppl that get nicknames are really powerful" me thinking back to the Eternal genin

Hey NcHammer23 can you cover the other smaller villages and clans from them

In the Itachi Daylight and Moonlight Novel, during their Uchiha Clan Meeting s, the only timea Stated when Fugaku had his Sharingan popped, was when Fugakus right hand man, was going off to Itachi, and another time when an Argument came about, over Minato being favored more than Fugaku towards a Hokage Candidate, but Both times, its like they all fell in line and quieted down and itachi, both times its written from Itachi's standpoint on where its like this feeling came about him and everyone when listening just like he had when his father explained the Coup de Tat. Least thats what i took from them i feel like its something with Control. Great video

you should start a cooking channel where you try to cook random anime dishes :)

was i the only one at 10:11 when he says no one gets nicknames like "you forgot kakashi" lol

yay new upload

Nice Video I’ve commented this on other videos that Nick should make a video on every MS user and their abilities now that he did Fugaku hopefully he will do Izuna and maybe Hagoromo, Indra but not sure if Indra has MS or not but I think that’s all Cannon wielders if I’m not mistaken. Btw forgot to mention Shisui’s Grandpa but not sure about that one either.

Awesome thanks

Im likeing this just for the hello fresh commercials 😂😂😂
