0:58 Okay so now I know you use not canon factor so I'll do the same afterwards. 1:24 So in the manga, Kakuzu defeated Kakashi in 2 pages and would have killed him multiple times if not for cliffhangers. In the anime, Kakuzu clearly dominate aswell the taijutsu part : 1 ) Disarm a sharingan user ( that's insane btw ) 2) Make him fall with a return high kick 3 ) Throw him multiple time in the battlefield 4 ) Kakashi had to open the 1st gate in order to defeat a water clone of Kakuzu ( bcs he used Lee lotus techniqe wich open the 1st gate ). Btw a water clone = 10% of the chakra user and Kakuzu wasn't full either bcs of sealed 2 tailed beast for a week + the used previous jutsu. Wich means how unrelative they a re. Kakashi never had a good moment when he faced him. Kakuzu was in the first place trying to capture him to take his heart wich is harder to just randomly kill and would have still succeeded multiple time... I'd say Kisame/Kakuzu have around the same speed, Samehada sucks right bee's chakra before impact so it denies hes speed amp and Kisame can react. If samehada wasn't there, Kisame wouldn't have dodge the first attacks and would have been beheaded. ( stated by him ) And I'm generous since the Yugito scaling exists. 1:48 Tank is a big word my guy and Kakuzu would too since it's a punch wich would be blocked by diamond morph. Kisame I admit should have way more chakra but Kakuzu have better defense and lives. Both have regeneartion factors. 2:33 Since Kakuzu's strength is way above Kisame + have tentacles, Kakuzu should easy win the close quarter combat. Just a reminder, a v2 bee lariat opened Kisame's chest even tho he blocked with Samehada. Kakuzu in base was able to whistand an complete bijuu strike, Imagine if he pushes Kisame in base and worst with a diamond armor enhancement. Kisame is cooked. Kisame's arsenal is very good against Kakuzu, indeed. Especially the shark bomb wich absorb jutsu's but his earth style + lightning mask are mainly his win cond, Kisame shouldnt block a fire/wind combo anyway with a casual water technique. No, Kisame cannot tank an combined high lvl jutsu of 2 nature, it doesn't make any sense + stated in databook that he would turn in ashes. Tho, I agree this point for Kisame for this matchup 5:01 The databook specify only a few jutsu other than lightning works on Kakuzu's diamond armor so he basically can tank anything. Idk how Kisame will reach the flying hearts aswell, I need an example of how he can destroy it since if he focus on one. 3 flying hearts remains and would attack him aswell for Kakuzu himself. Kakuzu can def OS Kisame with a diamond punch or lightning as established earlier or fused masks. 6:11 Nah, only the shark bomb would be efficient, not the rest and since Kakuzu in base survive an Rasenshuriken without his earth jutsu, i'll see him resist this kind of attack wich is less deadlier. The super shark bomb is described at absorbing jutsu's chakra to make it stronger and deals more damage. It isn't said that it absorbs all the chakra of the target and drains him completely, it's headcanon right there. Btw it's earth wich counter water in naruto, not lightning. So here's my issue : You mainly are in Kisame's side as the video suggest ( even at the beginning ) so you ignore completely Kakuzu's fightning style. 1 ) How Kisame fights close range ? If even a base Kakuzu can withstand a full bijuu strike 2 ) How Kisame reach the flying hearts without being attacked by 4 other people ? Each heart can easily repel each jutsu of Kisame btw, you clearly underestimate them 3 ) Kakuzu in v2 gets faster but he doesn't need to fuse with his hearts, how Kisame react to underground tentacle attacks ? 4 ) Samehada is a living sword, very durable but if alive, can be killed aswell. 5 ) Kakuzu can tank is own attack as shown in manga with the fused wind/fire element so he can attack himself aswell with Kisame but can tank due to his diamond morph while Kisame not. 6 ) Kakuzu in v3 is stated to control and change the form + length of his tentacle at will + no blind spot + gain ALOT of chakra, so much that non sensory type ninja could tell. My point is Kakuzu can capture Kisame in his v2 like Bee did with his tail and kill him with his tentacles Or electrify the bubble while he just have to let 1 heart outside the giant bubble => Kisame is a fried fish, Kakuzu still have 1 life and wins. Could do either way, Kisame shouldnt be underestimated, both is extreme diff. The only win cond I see is ONLY the water shark bomb, nothing else. The bubble isn't a problem due to suicide attacks, his v3 states and I don't mention Kakuzu's disgusting chakra wich would annoy so much Samehada, especially in the bubble.
