Of course I was right. If nothing else, Tobi is clearly a dimension hopper. If you'll note, he's trying to keep Sasuke, the only certified dimension-buster, from fighting him.

Nah, bleach people *wear* masks, Tobi *is* the mask.

Agree with mostly everything you said, except for Utakata of course. 😛

Bubble blower falls under tool usage which is tied directly to the user's strength.
While I may be letting my bias get in the way when I say he should be S+, I'm not doing so when I say he's above Roshi, who despite being a high end S with great Nintaijutsu prowess, lacks the same kind of destructive potential & efficiency. Utakata's acid is more powerful than Mei's acid, but not as versatile.

Also, Han's Biju is damn strong if it can toss something like the Hachibi so easily. Which is why I think that Kishi really needs to give us a Bijuu vs. Bijuu fight. Would be so freaking epic.

just count tails. every character there sprouted all of their tails but only han morphed into his true bijuu

Ahh okay

He warps Fuu without touching him. Personally, I think he warped Torune without touching him as well, since I do not believe Tobi to be much of an idiot, as he's not the kind of person to touch someone who can transfer destructive nano-bugs with a touch. [/B][/QUOTE]

Dammit, bottom-of-the-page'd myself.

Tobi was the original source of all their masks.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/naruto/v51/c475/11.html though i think it's his right arm that is required and he does punch fuu with it after he solidifies (even in the anime there is a clear sound that fuu was stricken)

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/naruto/v51/c475/4.html

he did touch torune, and he is that guy cause he's also the guy who can just jettison an infected arm without any real discomfort

I know but I don't much care for item users. Particularly when the item in question is very odd to use in battle. Puppet users get a pass because they fight in cover anyway with long distance weapons. 😛

I personally don't see it. We don't see the destruction caused by his SSR attack but it couldn't have been weak. And he has taijutsu showings whereas Utakata does not. Actually, him and Yagura have hardly any showings compared to the others. Maybe Kishi is saving their best skills for later? And his acid is not as impressive as Flower Fruit Mountain in my humble opinion. Comparing the size of both anyway.

Indeed. Han and his Bijuu are certainly the power house of this group.

Which makes me want to make a five bad band now.

Tobi would be the Big Bad.
Yagura is the Dragon for being the closest to him, since he did control him during life.
Utakata would be the Evil Genius if I had to pick one, based on his fighting style anyway.
Han and Roshi are both the Brute.
Fu and Yugito are both Dark Chicks.

Sweet.

Fair enough, can't really tell whether Tobi was stupid enough to touch Torune, or Torune just infected his right arm as he was being sucked in.

Sorry, don't see Tobi's right arm touching Fuu at all in any of those scans. Fuu dodged Tobi's thrown right arm. It never hit. It was a misdirection.
I do see his left arm touching Fuu. But if he cannot warp a person unless he has touched them at some point in time, it would be kind of stupid and unexplained.

I don't see Tobi touching Karin.

Nah, you just give puppet users a pass since Chiyo is a puppet user. 😛

Eh, doubt his SSR attack was one of his more destructive ones. It's powerful no doubt, and hard to dodge, but doesn't strike as better than his Lava Armor.
To be fair, his only Taijutsu showing is his Lava Armor, which would make anyone think twice about engaging him in Taijutsu. Ergo, double-edged sword against anyone but a Taijutsu specialist. 😛 Besides, his Lava Armor was used when his tail was out, whereas one of Utakata's bubbles was devastating in base mode.

That Alkaline certainly isn't as impressive as Flower Fruit Mountain but it has the defensive perk of the Lava Armor i.e. makes one think twice about getting in close. And he's a slug, so he'll have a degree of invulnerability thanks to his malleability.
So even with his lack of feats, I'd still pick Utakata over Roshi and any other revived Jinchuurikii, with the exception of Yagura. Sorreh. 😛

That's a 5 man band with 7 people. 😛

I don't see Tobi touching Karin.

there is an onomatopoeia there and it's audible in the anime http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-tQrOJQ3Pjs#t=87s (note* the uploader mirrored the scene to avoid copyright issues)

hmm, maybe he touched her off-panel 😖hifty:

http://ryoshosan.tripod.com/id26.html

I remember reading this way back in the day when the Bijuu hadn't been revealed. How do the speculated Bijuu hold up to what we got?

You can see why 5 tails was my favorite.

Dude, that sfx is the same one as the sfx that is used when the kunai goes through Tobi's head. His right arm was already phased through Fu's head so if he made it tangible, Fu'd be dead.
Like I said, Tobi touched Fu with his left hand. He never touched him with his right.

Also, I've always wondered, does mirroring the scene really get through the copyright issues? 😐

Sort of. If you alter it in an artistic way, it is protected by fair use. This is how people get by with "fansubs". They absolutely cannot charge for their fansubs. Since it is changed from the original and they do it for fun but do not charge for it, it gets by as a "fair use".

Mirroring the show could also be seen as artistic IF they do not charge for it.

It is gray and not definitive either way.

Added the remaining jinchuuriki (all at S except for Yagura), as well as Tobi w/jinchuuriki paths. He might get bumped up later if he shows even more, but SS is good for now.

Sunovabeetch. That's ghey.
People would probably be better off uploading fansubbed vids. Meh.

Aw c'mon, no S+ for Utakata?
The guy takes a puff, and Naruto starts crying. That's S+ right there. awesome

Utakata has a nice offensive move, but I don't think having one of the stronger jinchuuriki offense powers is alone enough to make S+.

Yagura has a nice offensive move (biju ball), a nice defensive move (Mirror shield!), and a nice melee power (coral growth).

I'd put Roshi higher than Utakata too, since he's got his lava-aura in addition to his offense, even though bubbles seem better offense than lava.

I know Utakata isn't S+ based on the two things we've seen from him, namely bubbles & alkali excretion. Admitted as much to Aura.

Eh, I disagree on Roshi being > Utakata, but meh, we all have our own opinions.

EDIT: Gais, Favourite Bijuu?

Firecat and Lavamonkey and Kyuubi.

Kyubi, for sure.

Hachibi is the only Biju I could even sort of give a shit about.
