How Strong Was Genma? (Minato's Strongest Bodyguard)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2023
- Genma is one of those Naruto characters that everybody recoginzes but people usually don't remember him. But how strong was Genma? What were Genma's true powers? He was Minato's bodyguard and certainly the strongest Hokage guard the Leaf Village has had.
Genma knew the Flying Thunder God taught to him by Minato and was the proctor of the finals of the Chunin Exams where we had the Genma vs Baki fight. Sure, it was off screen but it was something. In the War Arc he pursued Muu and fought alongside Mei to protect the Feudal Lords. There was also the Genma vs Sound 4 fight in the Sasuke retrieval arc. Mostly off-screen too.

Is Genma Jounin Level?
Wait hes not a jounin?
@@Twistedgoat69he is
100P
Hikaku Uchida better
Yo Dygo you should include Genma in your Rewrite series!!
Anybody who can deflect a kunai by casually spitting a chewing senbon out of his mouth is an automatic badass.
I concur. I thought it was cool because I was 12. But now I still find it cool
@@Marta1Bucksame (almost) lol
🍥
Since the very beginning… I’ve just assumed that Genma was chewing on a piece of *wheat/straw,* similar to what farmers and southern people do in movies, cartoons, etc. 🌾👋🤠 I guess it would’ve been far more practical to “chew” on a senbon needle, rather than a toothpick. I mean, who woulda’ ever thought, right!? 😅🫴
*(edited)*
Spelling error. 🤓👆
Its not just even what he did its who he did it to because baki is the strongest jonin in sand village at this time and arguably the only people who ever surpassed him are gaara and his family but lets say something happened baki is so strong he would be kazekage material
Ew stop trying to force the 3 Japanese words you know into any sentence you say/type
It’s crazy we all as a community always respected genma
What!?!? He's the man!!
Fr I didn’t even know his story but I jus always liked him for some reason😭😭😭
he's just that guy
Cuz he’s a badass.
Completely went under my radar, but after watching this, I'm a little miffed we didn't get to see more of him
Dygo: how strong is genma?
Me: strong enough to remember him as a background character.
This!!!!
the chad of background characters.
FINALLY GENMA GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES!!!! THANK YOU DYGO!!!! You are a legend
He is also a borudodo fan
He’s not very special but I guess
Big facts
@@Jc_lightningmaster shut up
fighting all 4 curse mark level 2 sound ninjas at once sound like a nightmare tbh
He was also tired out so yeah
@@Jc_lightningmasterI was surprised they was even alive LMFAO, they literally stated in that episode they just came back from a mission and then having to fight The Sound 4 ALL AT ONCE using Version 2 Curse Mark is a crazy feat ngl.
The video maker was right. Even Kakashi would’ve had trouble against those 4 especially if he was low on Chakra, look how he struggled against Zabuza in the beginning
@@shyysteebleedemkakashi wouldn’t have trouble bro
sounds like a wet dream for kimimaro tho
@@traitormeli3175low diffed them so easily 🤣
So you're telling me that this dude became a "special jonin" because he was just that good at "throwing hands"?... i can't even be mad at that 😂
I mean look at who he was on the team with growing up
@@Noblesavage31...Guy. makes perfect sense lmao
Hes buddy with Guy in his youth. He's a beast by default.
Not throwing hands but throwing tooth pics
Genma was always my favorite member of team “Those two guys in Naruto, but not those two guys” The durag, the spiky hair, the Senbon in his mouth like the cool dude in an old 90s flick. He just gave off a cool vibe, easily my favorite background character, so I was happy to see him get more development.
Agreed
Yeah I loved him. Wonder if we’ll see him in boruto
The 4th horse man of jonin
Genma and Baki clearly had some pauses in their fight to talk to each other, explain techniques and have some flashbacks. That's why they're still in the arena after 1 hour.
😂😂
Gemna and Raidio's biggest contribution is forcing the Sound Four to go Course Mark level 2 to beat them (and this is with Genma and Raido having just gotten back from another mission and being tired themselves), which left them weakened for their fights against the Sasuke Retrieval Squad.
Curse*
Facts
Bro this ain't a feed the sound four are kids these some grown ass men getting dragged around by kids
@@gilaulet8735What’s your point? Naruto and Sasuke become the strongest people in the world as teenagers?
@@DaDualityofMan thank God they weren't in this fight then right?
Genma's toothpick used to have a fanclub on Naruto forums.........sigh. innocent times~
Yamato wood
Ancient times 😭
LOL I was a member of that shit. Fun times
Genma’s probably my favorite background character. Cool design while keeping it simple.
He could easily kill Neji with his toothpick.
Don't do him dirty like that
@@akhandtripathipyz9888Don’t need to, Kishimoto already did it for him.
Through Neji's or the Byakugan's dumb blind spot...
underated comment
Yeah, cuz tecnically, it's a stick, so it can absolutely kill him👍🏻
He stopped baki's 3 kunais with 1 kunai and he stops kunais with toothpick, he is badass in ninjutsu 😂
That's not true. Ninjutsu literally means Ninja Art or Technique. Kunai are tools. There is an entirely different category.
Genma had a durag and a toothpick…like wtf are we even arguing. Man was him off the jump
I'd love to see more videos on "that guys from the konoha village" and "oh yeah, you know, this guy but not like THAT one but the other bodygard" I absolutly love the concepts of this minor characters (even if nobody know their names)
Will do!
@@DygoKnightmost def do one in Raidō
I still can’t believe Kishi made such a cool design for a side character, also surprised he didn’t mention how young Genma was when he became a Hokage bodyguard
Aoba also had a pretty cool character design.
@@illyaroberts4875he was also pretty strong and big deal for a side character
I’ve always wondered about him. Had a feeling kishimoto missed an opportunity on him. Im so glad you made a video about him. This is why you’re one of the top Naruto reviewers
kishimoto missed a lot of potentials. on genma and also on raido. raido was also well known for his black sword and assasination skills. the manga and anime only focused on some kids with godlike powers that they got out of nowhere and forgot the real ninjas
@@laman123lamthey are not interesting characters like madara and hashirama or Naruto or sasuke
@@laman123lam THEY ARE BORING AND NARUTO HAS THAT POWER SINCE CHAPTER ONE
@@user-xl6dj1tw8v They aren't boring, with a good usage through certain points of the story it would be possible to enhance the feeling or break the pace a little.
@@user-xl6dj1tw8vlow iq🤡🤡
If Genma was apart of Minatos personal squad that means he was chosen at age 15 that is wild. My all time favorite background characters are Kotetsu and Izumo I wish they got more screen time .
🤣🤣🤣 they 🗑️🗑️🗑️ bro
His bandana screams THUG LIFE lol!!
That’s my biggest pet peeve with naruto, all the really cool and interesting side characters who get no development despite their potential.
“Konoha Crush” sounds like a knockoff soda brand
Thanks for bringing further insight into this character, it goes to show there are many other characters who deserve a spotlight
Genma intercepting a kunai with a toothpick he spit from his mouth was cold as hell
It's a senbon, not a toothpick lmao
He was so cool, would have really loved for him to be put at a Kakashi level ninja.
Genma's toothpick can penetrate the Yata Mirror
Genma same generation as Kakashi, they were being protected during the 9tails invasion
Wow. I love these background character videos. I learned more about a background character within 2mins than a video about a major character that lasted over 30mins...
Ganma hairstyle is unique in Anime to point anyone gets his hairstyle and the beanie hat to match it’ll break the internet
Imagine if Toji from JJK had that hairstyle and hat.
The internet would be annihilated.
@@wanderingshade8383 exactly toji would look like a Naruto ninja menace to 5 great nations with the ganma hairstyle badge nba2k style lol
And mikazuchi Rei from Kengan Ashura would be killer with ganma hairstyle too
Toji beat the mask off Takumo ino ☹️ I think thats why bandana wearers never get a chance to cook
@@retrosushi7133 few bandana characters i seen get to cooking was renji from bleach and zoro from one piece and mushashi from Eyeshield 21 he was a construction worker who wore bandana and he cooked coming in clutch for Deimon devil bats but in Naruto the bandana ninjas are non-existent in combat dominance.
@@jewelsunniheartsfitnessanime your right because of zoro but really zoro only wears his bandana when hes serious or training 😂😂
A toothpick?. We all know it’s a Senbon he’s picking his teeth with.
I have finally found peace knowing others feel just like me about genma!! He’s rarely seen but I find him so badass and went so far as to making an action figure for him 🔥
I'm glad u covered Genma I was also thinkin about talkin about Genma he's my favorite extra character. Gotta toss a sub on dis one.
i been waitin on this Genma been slept on too long!
Thank you for making a vid about Genma.
We need to see these dudes in action when Minato’s manga come out
Genma is such a cool and nostalgic character
Nicely made video Alot of work done for this video
Genma is honestly underrated
No he isnt, hes talked about the most out of the fodder side characters if anything hes overrated
his special ability is probably senbon needle or flying raijin (low level). do you remember shizune use senbon needle when fight against kabuto, when tsunade first appear? i think she learned it from genma. and some people ship those two together, because of their interaction when shizune was worried too much when genma was down after against 4 sound ninjas. His also good at speed, so with his fighting ability kunai and senbon with speed, it's similar to minato. in anime, war arc, you can see how genma fight against black zetsu and use kunai only but with flexible movement and speed.
Didn't jiraiya have a senbon attack he used against pain?
@@Johno1992yeah
Genma and Shizune is a random ship but I like it lol
Very good analysis bro
This is a treat
I would say Genma is between Low to Mid-Jonin comparable to Asuma. I really dislike the many plot conveniences during the War Arc especially how Genma and his team has a convenient Jutsu (Flying Raijin) to teleport Mei to the 5 Kages location for their Madara fight. Had Mei ran, it would have taken her hours to get there but Kishimoto got lazy and decided to give Genma and his team the Flying Raijin for plot convenience.
How is this plot convinience you act like this is such a big deal having 3 people need to know the flying raijin they were minatos guards so it makes sense they have it 😂
@@RedditGuy_1 Yes, “Minato’s Personal Guards” which is actually the first time Genma and his team relationship to Minato was mentioned right within the same panel they asspulled this jutsu at a highly convenient time. Had Mei been with some other platoon, then 3 nobodies would have this same jutsu.
@@VanLe-gk3ie but they were mentioned as the personal hokage guards in early naruto js never specified they were minatos guards so it had some foreshadowing therefore not ass
@@RedditGuy_1 No, they weren’t mentioned as Hokage Guards in Part 1 and there were no foreshadowings at all. Genma first debuted as the replacement proctor after Hayate was killed and his teammates (Raido and Iwashi) were mostly nobodies in the background. There were no mentions of them serving as personal guards to Minato or any prior Hokages. You can look it up yourself.
A good foreshadowing would be had Genma talked to Kakashi about Minato, who was his student, or to Naruto after the Pain Arc saying along the lines of “I knew your father, Lord 4th, I was one of his personal guards” in some small talk. Kishimoto failed to set it up making the whole scene an asspull.
"naruto fans" try not to think new info are plot conveniences challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
Most underrated elite Jonin Genma
He is a special jounin not a jounin
@@Jusaguywithbrain elite jounin is special jounin.
@@yuugenr7549 they're different special jounin only have 1 criteria as good as a jounin
@@yuugenr7549 they're different special jounin only have 1 criteria as good as a jounin
@@Jusaguywithbrain special jounin and Elite jounin is same. Below Jounin like Kakashi and Guy.
I think the series attempts to imply a lot of these background Jonin are actually really powerful but just aren’t important to the story. Like Genma, Aoba, the aburame, Ibbiki, and probably many more im forgetting. That’s just how many underutilized characters there are.
Nice vid
Genma is really cool, look up Aoba next, another underrated shinobi
The toothpick is really memorable. It's very cool when he shoot it out.
RESPECT GENMA’S NAME. RESPECT IT
cool stuff
About where Genma was during the 9 Tails attack:
I forget where it's mentioned, but when the 9 Tails attacked, younger shinobi were prevented from helping defend the village to protect them. Specifically, the generation of Kurenai, Asuma, Might Guy and Kakashi. Since Genma was Might Guy's teammate and found Kakashi's team in their chunin exams, he's around their age. So its likely he was also prevented from participating in the attack and helping Minato w Obito.
Genma is underrated, the dude is a real badass! Giga Genma!
He sure is powerful
I love that youre using Ragnarok Online background music in these vids
4:27 awesome narrative skills, Dygo.
4:55 I mean listen to this.
My favorite Genma moment is when Neji was like "hey I'm going to kill Naruto, stop me if you want" and Genma looked at him like "....and?" lmfao!!! He gave no F's lmao
Hey awesome video. Can you do a video on Baki plz. He’s really underrated 🙏🏽
You need to do a video on Baki and his whereabouts after the first arc of Naruto Shippuden.
He wasn't seen or heard from in the war arc which was weird.
I love these videos i want more videos about characters like these i swear i love naruto anime whole series straight to boruto so much
Genma my goat, the real main character.
One of my Favorite side characters is Gari! As a kid I always thought the Idea of having explosive punches as a jutsu would be cool, and when the Resurrection Arc came about and they introduced Gari, I was amazed! He's a famed shinobi from the stone Village and a member of the Explosion Corps, and is able to use Explosion Release, a kekkei genkai which allowed him to combine earth and lightning chakra natures to utilize explosive chakra like Deidara, except he mixes his explosions with taijutsu. Defiantly an underrated character!
Please do Anko Mitarashi, she was an anbu black ops at a young age, an orichmaru subordinate, and was even able to master A rank jutsu during the Chunin Exams Death Forest Ark....
I bet Hikaku Uchiha can learn and master the Flying Raijin.
In no time for sure😂
Hikaku retired from life and forgot to take his jokes with him...
He already can use it without even knowing
Hikaku uchiha can use Infinite tsukoyumi without rinnesharingan. What a goat
He is the flying rainin
Me- I should probably go look for a wife
Also me- nah,I wanna know how strong Genma is....
I can be your wife
Well this was unexpected xD
@@dochkodochev7680did y'all actually marry?
Bro i wanna rewatch naruto this show is way too good
I honestly thought he and the other proctor were the same dude lol. Thanks for clearing that up
I like how dygo sheds the spotlight onto some cool minor characters from time to time
Holy crap Genma fought the son of ogre and stalemated him OMG
Hayate seemed too cool to just get killed off and judging by that cough he had bro would’ve died anyway by shippuden
7:52 When Stark asks Shunsui to just chill and let everyone else fight 😂
I never know about that “special jounin” thing. I always found Genma as the regular jounin while being a chad
This guy should have got an arc
They were both staring at each other in the middle of the battle like that short guy in white from the Simpsons when the local mafia and the yakuza were fighting each other.
I think he was a kid when the obito attack with 9 tails so he was a guard that young is crazy, or maybe he’s apart of a group that guards the hokage that train together to be able to use the 4ths jutsu but idk I got to re-read the manga lol still cool video bro.
I honestly love all the 'background' Leaf Jounin of that era. Genma, Raido, Aoba, Hayate, Kotetsu etc. All such cool unique characters even though some barely feature.
Genma & Raido, along with the Sound 4 are underrated. People conflate ranking with power & skill too much. People also have a tendency to overrate or underrate Jonin power levels.
I like to see it as this: Jonin is literally a village's elite shinobi. While it's easy to see most shinobi as fodder in late Naruto, it should also be noted that the attention in late Naruto is given to many kage+ threats.
An average shinobi in Naruto would be a chunin level threat. Based on Genma's assessment of Sasuke in the Chunin exams, and the strength increase of Sasuke up to the final valley, I'd say that by the end of PTS, Sasuke is probably high Chunin to low Jonin. I use that as like a baseline assessment for any jonin level fighter, with occasional exceptions.
As a baseline, it of course doesn't apply to fighters that are far beyond that. Kakashi for example is no doubt above most Jonin level fighters even before becoming a kage.
Lastly, it's important to remember that each village has different standards. I personally believe that the Sand is vastly weaker over all to Konoha, and thus have vastly weaker Jonin. Certain Leaf Jonin could body child Gaara who was untouchable in the Sand.
@@jonkeathegamer I mostly agree, but I'd say Sasuke at the end of Part 1 is an easy mid-Jonin at base, at least with 3T, I can elaborate later if you wish
@@nousername636 I can kinda see that, but I'd still like to hear your reasoning behind it.
@@jonkeathegamer
Low-Jonin is someone like Ebisu, who easily lost to the Naraka Path, which was relatively weak. KN0 VOTE1 Naruto was much more impressive with his clones and chakra pool. In canon and filler, it was strong enough to put mid to high-Jonin level guys on notice with its power output alone.
Land of Waves Sasuke had low-mid-Chunin feats, like doing decent against the Demon Brothers, defeating Zabuza's weak water clones, and outmaneuvering a suppressed Haku for a bit. He then gets 2 and 3-Tomoe Sharingan (which allowed him to react to transformed Gaara and KN1 Naruto a bit, respectively), Chidori (which gives Jonin-level damage at base), the Curse Mark (which gets a boost and a new transformation on top of its already good boost, and it seems to amp his base even when inactive), and more experience. He was able to low-mid diff KN0 VOTE1 Naruto with just the CM amp on his base (not even a proper usage of a stage) and 3T.
Itachi at 8 and with a 2T was able to low-diff an ANBU. Sasuke was less talented, but he had much more going for him at VOTE1 than that Itachi.
@@nousername636Mid Jonin is characters like Base Guy , Genma and Raido etc. Maybe high.
Sasuke and Naruto part 1 at full Power is Low Jonin lvl at best.
Finally my man Genma get's a video for himself
You know Minato is a real one when he has people handling his light work
Something else I wanted to add, you mentioned that he wasn't nowhere to be found during the kyuby attack on the village, that's probably because it was a surprise attack by Obito and the shinobis around that age where put in a barrier for safety instead of fighting to protect the village as most of the older people thought it was a main internal error, instead of another village attacking them
Genma's opponent's name in the chunin exam arc just reminds me of Baki Hanma lol.
Genma spinoff by Kishimoto plz, Genma 8th swordmaster of the legendary toothpick
THANK GOD WE NEED MORE LOVE FOR THE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS.😲
Gemma strike me as Shikamaru role model. While Hayate was more of an samurai-detective type.
Source: The voices inside Dygos head.
I don’t remember him in the data books and I just read them again
Edit-never mind I’m just dumb
He was probably a Kunai master and Minato chose him because he could help him spread his flying raijin Kunai better and fast
Don't overthink this y'all, just cuz you do tricks doesn't mean you up in ranks, and just cuz you have a rank doesn't mean your actually at that power level, the system is weird. He wasn't a fodder character but not enough to be considered a main character, the commentary guy explains it all well, every reason he isn't a fodder character no matter how odd it was. Also don't waste time comparing to other characters which then leads to overthinking that character, no, Asuma with depleted chakra would not defeat the sound four if they even had curse mark mode on or not.
Regardless of need for bodyguards or not. the village had rules and even if you didn't think you needed shinobi bodyguards.. it probably worked the opposite way for minato and his bodyguard team...
My new head cannon is that those two actually did just stand there for an hour, staring at each other, while everybody else was fighting. Either that or they were just repeating throwing Shirkin’s and toothpicks at each other like an Izanami loop.
The RO background music bring me good memories
Bruh the sound 4 ain't kids 😂 they're the 30 year old actor that plays the 15 year old freshman
Can you do radio namiashi and iwashi tatami the two of them are also minato guard platoon
yes
@08:00 Actually, it would make sense.
If there were only Baki and Genma, then they could indeed could just stand there waiting until either of them makes a mistake or until reinforcement arrives, given that they might be at the same strength, but also knowing it they can't lose, or the winner might change the outcome of the fight, or go after Gaara and Sasuke.
It's just one of those characters that you wish has gotten more relevancy or developement in the story but at the same time it could posibilly ruin his magic...🤷♂️
Just like Hayate had Transparent Escape Technique Genma got his special teleportation technique.
Whether they are less worth a Jōnin-title than eg Kurenai dunno. Maybe to expensive to pay to spam this title...
You know, you are badass when Minato, being the monster he is, thinks of you: " I want this guy to be my bodyguard..."
I’m just starting the video, but I will never forget him deflecting a kunai with a senbon during the tournament.
Make a similar video about Aoba
I want to see more about Genma on the Rewrite
Genma needa be in the storm games !!
They were wave checking each other
Genma is my favorite side character he also dominates the Wattpad fanfiction lol! 😅
