"I should never have let down my guard." *Immediately lets down his guard.*

One thing people forget about this fight.. Minato entered it thinking he was fighting Madara.. and never once doubted himself.

It’s hard to describe how epic this scene is. This ability felt so broken you wondered how you would ever beat him, then you see this flash back and watch Minato absolutely wreck him in a matter seconds.. so legit!!

"That's why he's the GOAT! The GOOOAT!!!"

Minato's attack was the coldest move in the series!

Jiraiya put it correctly when he said "There won't be another like him. Ever."

Honestly, Minato is the only character in the Naruto universe that doesn't use some sorta crazy plot armor or inexplainable power. He's the definition of true talent. Not some crazy genetics like sharingan, hashirama cells, crazy chakra reserves, etc. He's just really good at being a ninja and that's it.

Minato really was on a different level. In minutes he analyzed the situation and the enemy, formed a plan and executed it flawlessly. What took Naruto and everyone else what seems like hours to figure out.

Minato: "Finally a worthy opponent-" Figures out how to Kamui works in two minutes... Minato: "Absolute Fodder... RASENGAN!"

When highly skilled Shinobi such as Minato existed.

1:34 Obito: “Nah, I’d win.”

His presence of mind is really impressive considering he's facing madara for the first time and yes he estimated his ability and weakness at an instant

Minato is the only anime character that doesn’t let villains just stand and talk

Minato is the perfect example of hard work and talent. He had no crazy eyes or clan power just pure skills and intelligence

Obito forgot he was fighting his teacher.

Actually imagine this scene in real time, not in slow motion... Just that epic teleportation to the kunai Minato has thrown, his reaction time, and the speed of it 🤯

he may not be the strongest, but he is THE COOLEST SHINOBI AND HOKAGE EVER

The fact that he discovered and countred his secret in such a short time makes me wonder how clever he was

my favorite part is the fact that a flying raijin mark never goes away even after death, so the fact that minato was able to use it during the war was crazy

When Tobi returns to hideout, Madara : What's that Tattoo on your back ?

Imagine how much fear Obito would be living in if minato hadn't died.... Having someone who can pop up right behind you at any frikin time

The Flying Raijin has always been such a cool jutsu to me. Easily one of the coolest in the series

What a phenomenal fight scene. Short and simple, but that's exactly what makes it great. We get to see how he process and breaks down the situation. That's a basic trope to explain the mechanism behind power/abilities in almost all anime. We always get to see characters thinking or talking during fights scenes. But what sets this apart is how it was written. It's straighforward and precise. Exactly how we see Minato as a character, and one of the traits on why he's almost anyone's favorite. He was in a hurry, and we felt that urgency all through out. But the way he was thinking of dealing with the situation was calm and collected contrasting to the chaos of what's around him. We get to see his thought process and from it, he excecuted a perfect attack without wasting a second. Not an overbearing flaunt of power. Just a pure display of technical prowess. 👏

That Rasengan is simply LEGENDARY One of the best animation i EVER seen

I love how Tobi is doing the typical villain monologue and Minato just continues the attack because he is not finished. It's refreshing to see the hero not wait for the villain to stop talking.

Alternative title: Minato reminds Obito why he is hokage

You know you're against a wrong enemy when you see your opponent could create a perfect counter-attack against your perfect defense in just a few minutes.

The most underrated aspect of this fight was Obito knowing Minato's techniques while Minato prepared himself to fight who he thought was Madera.

Him catching the Kunai and looking down as he’s about to hit obito with the rasengan gives me chills every time

Not only did he figure out kamui in seconds, he also broke the anime fight rule of letting your opponent talk before attacking

Still one of the best fight scenes in all of anime. Hands down.

New boruto ep still hasn’t released Crunchyroll: We gotchya

1:35 it's showed as triumphant moment with this music, but it's heart wrenching when you realize Minato is fighting Obito without knowing it

Can we just appreciate the fact that Minato completely understood his technique and counterd it in only one move like a boss. It took others ages to do this. Edit: DAAAAAMN. i was out of my account for a while. 8k likes???? im mind blown.

Minato is so technical. The most proficient ninja in my opinion. Doesn't waste time at all. Managed to analyze Kamui in seconds, beat Obito, stab Obito, take Kurama off of his control all within seconds. What an efficient ninja. And best of all, no special clan or nothing. Just the best!

In two minutes Minato figured out Kamui, beat Obito and separated him from Kurama. This is the ninja of the legends.

Obito after Minato tags him: “I shouldn’t have let down my guard” Also Obito: Talks while letting down his guard letting Minato tag him again

one word is enough to describe this fight: Legendary

Minato getting snagged by the chain and then immediately hopping out is so underrated Bro was never gonna get caught lacking

the amazing part was that he spawned a rasengan almost instantaneously at 1:25. Naruto usually takes a few seconds and a clone to create his much smaller one

*Minato:* “If it means protecting the Village, I will throw hands with a child.”

One of the most iconic fights in Shippuden.

In the Narutoverse no one can make Minato doubt in battle, he doesn't necessarily need to know if the opponent is strong, he just needs to believe in his abilities and adapt them to each fight.

Goosebumps... bruh this is epic in so many levels it can not be elaborated in words. One of my favourite anime scenes of all time.

Minato literally figured Tobi's ability and how to defeat him in like 2 mins and then went and stopped the kyuubi he really is overpowered like that's why he had to die or the Akatsuki would just straight up be annihilated.

Never forget Minato had the highest academy score, Itachi is second. Minato and Shisui are the only shinobis with a "flee-on-sight" order.

He is like thunder. He doesn’t look all that menacing from a distance but the sounds. Yes, the sounds it made. You can’t never know when it gonna come but it will

1:30 Minato just use UNO reverse card technique

Minato has no backstory, he is just good at everything. Despite this he is humble.

Minato's power isn't that he can move faster than everyone else, it's that he can think faster than anyone else

Minato and Itachi are the most op ninja. What they had in common was their ability to stay calm, analyse and plan theur next move in seconds.

Nobody is going to talk about how fast Minato was able to form Rasengan? It formed near instantaneously while the clip was slowed down.

If Minato survived, we would’ve gotten “Naruto: Minato Next Generations” instead.

Figured out Obito's ability and how to counter it in one engagement, and successfully pulled it off by himself in the next engagement - Minato was seriously awesome.

Obito: I should never have let down my guard Also Obito: *Proceeds to let down his guard again*

One of the best scenes ever in anime .

Besides his strength, speed and knowledge I genuinely think Minato’s greatest strength was his ability to remain calm, it allowed him to do things others couldn’t in the same situation.

0:53 he is visualizing the Rasengan, how he's gonna hit it. Sometimes this show was purely the best.

no sharingan no tailed beast still stomping strongest characters in the verse. Minato is the GOAT

Minato was skilled, for sure. But also, he was a MONSTER on the inside. Calm and collected as can be - the most intimidating ppl imo

The most underrated fact about Minato is that he never reached his peak prime times as a shinobi. He was 24 when he died; yet his achievements and powers are iconic, legendary and simply next level. If he had stayed alive and entered his prime years, he might even surpass Hashirama in terms of Hokage prowess.

The potential obito could’ve had if he had both his sharingan would have been crazy!

One of the greatest moments ever. We knew Minato was a super ninja, this moment set that in concrete. R.I.P the 🐐

I like how he didn’t take a second to panic when he saw the chains wrapping around him.

I’ll Never forget how Minato held his own against a young A & Killer B. This dude was on a whole nother’ level.

The way he deal with 2 big problem with so much pressure of the safety of his pregnent wife and his village is splendid. Hats of to this guy

If you remove the thinking part and the slow downs, It's insane to think about how fast everything goes down. Minato goes through Obito once, immediately analyzes and understands Obito's technique, then throws the Kunai and goes for the counter which also sets up the seal removal from the ninetails. In in-universe time all this happens in like 20-25 seconds or so. Truly the yellow flash of Konoha

😂😂😂, Minato say no to "talk no jutsu"

The fact minato said the one who attacks faster wins knowing he's the fastest person in the series is just mind-blowing lol

Man i used to think Obito was almsot unbeatable. But Minato dismantled him QUICKLY. Granted hes about 14 years old in this scene.

Minato's moves is not short sighted He looks in the long term Hit obito + put a raijin mark on obito + able to get close to obito again while releasing 9 tails He's a genius

"I never should have let down my guard" *lets down his guard again as he says this

Kakashi/Naruto/Guy: takes several fights to figure out Kamui Minato: Figured Kamui out in one fight

“I should never have let my guard down,” says Obito as he lets his guard down again 😂

Obito learned the hard way that you never mess with your Teacher 😂

Still give me goosebumps after all these years😊

Real GOAT figured out how to end the fight within 2 mins " FASTEST SHINOBI " for a reason

I see why the writer had to have him killed. I truly believe with him around there wouldn’t be a show. He would’ve stopped the Coup of the Uchiha(with Itachi & shisui on his side) without killing the entire clan, and it would’ve also kept Itachi from leaving. That alone would’ve deterred Orochimaru from attacking the village the way he did, the akatsuki would’ve been stopped much sooner, Sauske wouldn’t have left, Pain wouldn’t have destroyed the village especially with Minato, Itachi, shisui, Kakashi, Naruto, 3rd Hokage(he wouldn’t have died), Might Guy, & Sauske around. There’s no way. Naruto & Sauske would’ve still inherited Indra & Ashura wills, and would have Minato & Itachi there with them to still guide them 🔥. He literally has to die to make the show. Crazy

"I should never have let my guard down." Immediately lets down his guard again.

At 0:46 obito looks like hes rapping, spitting Mad Bars up under his mask to me 😂😂😂😂

Something I didn't notice before is I bet Obito was really happy when he said "I win" he believed he was able to finally defeat his teacher only to have it slip pass him in the last second. He still saw him as his sensei

Minato : his transportation jutsu surpasses mine Minato 1 second later : Flying rajin level 2

Since the episode of this fight scene was first aired till now, this fight is still and will continue to be one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen in this anime.

The epicness of this fight!! It still gives me goosebumps! The coolest hokage ever! Minato 💪🥰

To be fair, for a 14 year old Obito to battle his sensei Minato who is way above his league is impressive on his own... Offcourse, he would took an L against Minato but a 14 year old Obito who only had 1 eye controlling the 9 Tails and able to put up a fight against this beast of a Shinobi Minato is great

It took years of careful observation from Konan to even understand Obito's jutsu and Minato does it in a few minutes of fighting him. The way Kishi wrote Minato's ability and how he crafted this fight made the wait to see him in action worth it. All those years hyping this character up and to pay off massively. Kishi, you are a genius.

As a ninja with no Kekkei Genkai, sennin body, tail beast, or other crazy jutsu, minato is truely an amazing one for what he has archieved

Something I find interesting about the Kyuubi continuing to rampage after being freed is that it makes sense to me from his perspective. Think about it at this point, Kurama would've spent the last 50 or so years trapped in a seal & while we don't know what Mito's seal was like for him we know that Kushina's was pretty bad. To me it makes sense that even after being freed he'd want to destroy Konoha considering just how long he's been trapped there before leaving. Plus we also have to consider that he probably didn't immediately realise he was free and was just responding to being attacked

Minato really is the goat. Man wasn't scared to fight the man known as Madara.

While they're fighting, Kurama is still destroying the Leaf Village.

Boruto busting out Flying Thunder God in Blue Vortex got me HYPED!

every fight in naruto that have that background music is peak

No Sharingan or Rinnegan No Kekkegenkai No Tailed Beast Powers(Until Edo) No Otsutsuki Powers Yet he was such a Beast Rest in Peace..Yellow Flash..

Fights like this doesn't have to be long for it to be forever Iconic!

Minato was a once in a life time Shinobi

Fact : Here minato didn't back down even after knowing he is facing legendary Madara Uchiha , instead he got excited

we need a prequel to this golden age where there were such beasts: Minato, Shisui, Fugaku, Itachi, Sakumo
