Raikage art manga

But of course this isn’t a normal fight, it’s a fight between two of the most powerful lightning users in manga but, alas, as soon as lightning is brought into the equation I fear it’s all over for the Raikage. Against any other opponent, the offensive, defensive, speed and agility attributes of his Lightning Armour would be devastating. Looking at his track record we’ve seen his speed and agility are so great they’ve been compared to that of Konoha’s Yellow Flash and Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, as well being so fast that the Sharingan has trouble keeping up with him. Power-wise we’ve seen he is strong enough to cut off one of the horns of the Eight-Tailed Beast and knock it to the ground through sheer strength as well. He also smashed a couple of the Susanoo created by Sasuke Uchiha (which had taken the attacks of Jonin and Kage level opponents just before and resurfaced unharmed).

What I thought would be an epic match up turned out to be a totally one-sided affair with Laxus dominating every which way you look at it. Maybe it was a bit unfair to put the Raikage up against the Lightning Dragon Slayer but more uneven matchups have been created in the world of manga.

How incredible that scene was handled by Kishimoto, the build-up with the Raikage stating the Fourth Hokage failed in saving the world and Naruto flashing through what his parents have given and scarificed for him, and erupting to speak those manificent words, those words which will echo through the whole of the Naruto manga – “The Fourth Hokage didn’t fail at all!!”

Now, in the Third Raikage’s case, a finger is worth a thousand words, and at least a few screams here and there as well. You just have to be careful where he puts it, or you may find yourself quickly becoming fluent in the fine art of body language as well. X___x
