- Those two guys from Naruto aka Izumo and Kotetsu are two Chunins from the Leaf Village well known for being two distinguished background characters in Naruto part 1 and Naruto Shippuden. But how strong are these two guys from Naruto?
Let's take a look at Izumo and Kotetsu's feats, in the Izumo & Kotetsu vs Hidan, Izumo and Kotetsu vs Kakuzu, both in the Akatsuki Supression Arc and in the Naruto War Arc where the fight is Izumo and Kotetsu vs Edo Kakuzu. They were part of Team Asuma when Asuma vs Hidan happened, they were also proctors of the written test of the Chunin Exams. So we'll determine the power of these two characters.

How strong are Izumo and Kotetsu?
In line with the "how strong" series I'm wondering how strong is Kurenai. She's supposedly a jonin and team captain but in all honesty if she was to enter the chunin exam fights I can't see her doing anything against, Lee, Sasuke, Neji, Gaara, etc. She seems like she'd be folded by genins. With Guy, Kakashi and Asuma we've seen some impresive feats but Kurenai being a jonin seems like a joke.
Realistically had Naruto stayed consistent instead of becoming a wizard mech anime they probably would double almost anyone who's not immortal.
@@Ico132 Kurenai outsped Neji to stop him from killing Hinata and matched Itachi in a genjutsu exchange. He counter her best Genjutsu and put her in an equally strong genjutsu, which she also got out of before he could hit her (he still hit her, but she managed to block the attack).
I bet they're Kage level but are pretending to be avarege guys because it's more fun
/J
You are already re-writing the war arc huh?
I love that the fandom has agreed to call them "those two guys".
And I love that we don’t confuse them “with those other two guys”.
Also the other two guys. Together they're "Those four guys from naruto"
Not to be confused with the other other guys and the guy literally named Gai.
I remember that guy with Gai that isnt those two guys in turtle island episodes
lol it’s hilarious because those two guys are the chunin the other two guys are jonnin an that other guy is aoba it’s funny cause with out saying they’re names i knew exactly
Pretty funny how almost half of this video is about Kakuzu rather than those two guys because that's the only way to measure their power
kakuza is basically 4 guys what's another 2 lol
My favorite bit of trivia about these two is that the syrup jutsu izumo uses is listed in the wiki as the same jutsu that saiken the 6 tails use, but also it's said in a databook that izumo learned this technique by himself, so it implies that somehow saiken learned this jutsu from izumo
It could be convergent jutsu creation. They made similar jutsu from scratch, without know about each other.
The databook sometimes is wack
Databooks are unreliable or at least the first one was
Considering that Kotetsus Mace looks like the Sanbis missing eye, it'd be kinda cool if they both had some kind of Biju connection.
The Sanbi was one of Kirigakure's active assets before Rin ate it.
Maybe Izumo and Kotetsu (alongside a larger squad) fought the Sanbi and there it saw Izumo use that sticky jutsu, realizing how convenient would it be with much more chakra. And Kotetsu, proud of surviving the encounter, modeled his signature weapon after the Sanbi's mysterious eye
They were kids back in the war (younger than Kakashi) but we know kids were brought into the conflict
Wait. Kotetsu dosent have a beard in the manga? My whole life is a genjutsu...
Admittedly, I'd love that Izumo & Kotetsu Spinoff about two Chuunin doing normal Chuunin Jobs and sometimes supporting Jônin fighting opponents that they just couldn't xD I think it'd deepen the world of Naruto to show off what normal dudes are usually doing.
My favorite couple in the entire series. Naruto and Hinata? Mid. Shikamaru and Temari? Mid. Sasuke and Sakura? Get that shit out of my face. Izumo and Kotetsu? Peak cinema.
Best love story in anime.
them being a couple was actually teased in a post-credits scene
Are they gay though
@@meliodasking2100Nothing official by Kishi, but their bromance is heavy stuff
This is who Sakura was talking about when she said "I've finally caught up to these two."
Lmao this is a good one 😂
Lols
Hahah that explains everything
she klled sasori doe
@@shashamiaow1504 ok, and?
It seems very likly that by the time of The Last, the two are Jounins, since Kakashi picks them as his bodyguards to the Kage summit. We've ONLY seen Jounins in that role. Odds are [especially following losses in the war] these two managed to get an official promotion. Especially given their feats in fighting Edo Kakuzu in the war.
They didn't get fodderized just to show off a new jutsu from the current big bad. That's a real achievement for background characters in a long running series like naruto.
They didn’t get “fodderized” in the slightest, it’s so apparent how much youth you have
History says there roommates and eternal bachelors
You should use these types of characters more in the rewrite. Aoba, Raido, Genma, these guys, Kurenai…
Pretty sure Kurenai is facing an Edo Asuma in the rewrite, and I feel Raido might be used as an assassin at some point based on Dygo's videos.
Aoba's cracked
Kurenai was used to teach Sakura genjutsu early on
Hayate and yugao
Kurenai is a semi-major character. She is the sensei of the main character's wife! 😁
They are the Lenny and Carl of the Naruto universe
Oh my God, They Totally Are!
Still have more screentime than Tenten
The pet pig has more screen time than Tenten...
@@DullestStar9299tonton
@@StarKushExoticGalaxy Pig even stole my girl's name and replaced the e's with o's. The disrespect...
Poor 1010 I always liked her.
@@DullestStar9299 lol
What kakazu ment when he said he fought hashirama, is that he actully threw a kunai from 200 yards away in hashis general direction and dipped.
These two guys deserve to be Jonin imao. They fought against an Akatasuki member twice and managed to survive after the war arc.
I love the effort of talking about the background and supporting characters like these guys, hopefully Hayate Gekko and Yugao get their own video? 👀
They had a yaoi moment in the filler. It was so hilarious
Lmfao which episode
@@griffix2841 not sure. You can probably just look it up on u tube as I found it by accident when looking up Tsunade and shizune moments.
Rude
@@ThunderTube-mf2bp of course you are. But you'll get better with time so good luck. Also it did happen so you're just getting mad at the animators not me since anime does it so much so you don't actually watch anime.
I mean even Naruto kissed Sasuke so if that makes you made that's on you
@@griffix2841 just looked it up when searching them
Hayate, genma, raito, aoba, Ibiki & these two are all cool guys 🤝
And yugao
and duke dennis uchiha
they blitz hidan. that would kill anyone who isn't immortal.
Man, I love those two guys. They are hilarious
1:04 Izumo has a rinnegan under his hair
Iruka would get a spin off before these guys
Can we scale the other two guys from Naruto but not these guys from Naruto
you mean genma and raido....they way way stronger
“When Sasuke punched sakura and left the Leaf village” was my favorite part of this video! 😂👏🏼
those two guys who never do anything special - still better caracters than yamato
They have a great function. They’re besties.. they’re boyfriends..
Now imagined if they won the character poll few years ago, they would get a spin off
Yo it's those two guys, I heard they totally kissed.
Let it be known that chunin are the rank in file for most villages and are the most common rank. Though it's a matter of actual numbers I am not hundred percent certain.
How much money was ramen guy making? He let Naruto have food for free sometimes and gave him the all you can eat pass
We need to break down his business model
Yeah, wish to see a video about this guy. Maybe some crazy theories
Dude played the long game of barely making any benefit until he gets sponsored by no less than 4 Hokages.
As Hiruzen went there with Naruto.
As Minato went there with Kushina.
As Kakashi went there with Team 7/ Naruto
As Naruto went there with everyone at one point really.
I mean I don't think Teuchi (the ramen guy) was making a huge amount of money, but at least enough to give free food to Naruto from time to time, one thing to keep in mind tho is that the restaurant is quite small and the only times we see it is when Naruto is there usually with someone else, so we can assume he gets a decent amount of clients but nothing crazy.
Anyway that seems to change in Boruto (I know Boruto is not canon, but is one of the few things I liked when I tried to watch Boruto) thanks to Naruto the literal Hokage saying Ichiraku Ramen is his favorite place to eat they apparently started earning a ton of money, enough to expand and for Teuchi to retire early (I don't think he's dead in Boruto, he wasn't that old in Shippuden he should be around 60-70 years old in Boruto)
@@ivanbluecool hey Spishtar guy! Cool to see you again!
@@aminebachir3394 nice to see you too.
Those two guys are goated
They was nice to Naruto
Their second fight with Kakuzu is very interesting.
On one hand, Edo Kakuzu is slightly weaker than his regular self, has his hearts busy with other ninja, and Those Two Guys probably trained themselves to specifically counter Kakuzu's close combat style.
On the other hand however, Kakuzu was given the mission to take down Hashirama, and that was before he got the strings jutsu.
So for being two chunin, I'd say they are very strong, far above average
The plot really cooked kakuzu when naruto came to fight him. His ability, intelligence diminishes for naruto to land both rasenshuriken
I call them Asuma's boys 😂💀
Tsunade ships these two
I do too🤧
She must of sent them on a lot of missions then.
I love that we get to see their attack with the big mace land in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4/Connections through Shikamaru and Asuma's Tag Ultimate Jutsu
Since first time watching naruto way back when I remember these two - duo fantastico :D great video
I would like to see more of regular ninjas missions as you say. like in 40k when you switch from Marines to Regular soldiers xd
I knew Kotetsu was the top the moment he pulled out that mace. And how Izumo always just waits for him or supports his attacks... bottom energy. 😆😂🤣😭
Sound four vs those two...
That would be insane!
Fact that two Chounin achieve more then whole Anbu force kind sad .
I personally think that when it comes to fights in Anime adaptations, so long as it is a fight that is also in the manga, any additions made are canon-adjacent if not canon. This is because it would stand to reason that the animators are working with the original author for that fight, so any additions made are done so with the original author's blessing. So the scene with the flying mace wielded by Kotetsu may not be strictly speaking canon, because it wasn't in the manga, but for the sake of the fight in the anime it was added with the blessings of Kishimoto.
I'd say Shino and Rock Lee are strongest chunins, but they kick major ass, I love secondary chracters like that
and historians will call them: close friends, besties, roomates, collegues. anything but lovers. history hates LOVERS!
Personally i would love to see just an episode or a book on these two great ninjas. I feel like these two would have great, memorable, interesting, fun, etc stories to tell.
Well, technically they were apart in 1 episode where they have to catch the ostrich. One almost died, but the other guy came and all of them defeated the ostrich
I feel bad for Kakuzu, bro just gets shit on every panel hes in. Poor fella
For me at the beginning they were like mid-high chunin, but with those war arc feats they are for sure elite jonin level I would say, at least as a duo, maybe they're more of a mid jonin level individually
Casting a genjutsu on a physical object is kinda a crazy feat
I'd like to think it's like a sticker it just goes over instead of out right changing it
That thumbnail... IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE!!!
The only edo that doesn't shed paper when he's hurt. Also, his hearts were somehow killed even though they should be immortal. Hmm
Dygo glazing Izumo and Kotetsu and rightfully so🔥🐐
Bros hate for kakuzu still goes up
I'd say they are veterans, obviously, but they aren't promoted due to... them not having that potential.
Basically, they capped out and just made themselves as well rounded as they could at that level. And they did great, as a pair.
They're Otsutsuki level threat. I mean, they DO work in duo...
The data books describes kotetsu as a man of "Dauntless Courage" which I have observed and respect.
Can you make a video about iwashi tatami he is also minato bodyguard
Kakuzu, who seems to never been attacked from behind for around 100years. Man, Naruto got him twice from the back, Kotetsu and Izuma got him from the back... he should get some eyes there
dygo do you still do live streams if so when are you going live again?
Hopefully, you can work them into your rewrite
i do remember that they had this really weird weapon combo that nobody else uses
The fact that hidan is immortal and has instakill hax, yet is still the weakest member of the akatsuki, is nuts
And even then, Hidan is still high Jonin level
Its because he has close range combat skills since he cant use ninjutsu. You keep him at range he is easy to beat just cant get cut by his blade though
I think these two are a good representation for solid ninja not amazing not genius’s but good ninja who continues to grow snd gain strength hopefully jonin by boruto
1 second into the video, and I'd guess Those Two Guys could have neg diff'd Isshiki
I always though they were jonin
I think of the Batman lego movie. "And two best friends."
Gotta respect the quintessential average guy in media, that can be pretty interesting
Me who is a fan of DB OP and Naruto:🤯
They are likely the strongest chunin in the village outside of the Konoha 11.
Leaf on average in part 1 had stronger ninja than the other villages
I saw this video and forgot what it was named
When trying to find it again I looked up how strong are those two guys from Naruto 😂
Take a drink every time you hear the name “Kakazu”
You missed the ostrich fight
Izumo and kotetsu are a odd pair because i remember in one episode when kotetsu went out on a mission on his own izumo freaked the heck out and went to find him and the whole reason was that kotetsu is apparently a mess on his own in missions
I always felt like they were actually jonin lvl in skills but never went for promotion
And the hokage realised this but let them be because they are also called THE ETERNAL GATE GUARDS and i would like to have MY gate guarded by people who are at least competent at the job and would purposely overlook it
izimo & kotetsu stayed as ninjas, the rest are now dragon ball
Love the miscellaneous character videos
I haven’t even finished the video and I forgot their names. 😢
They're Narusasu in a different form.
good video 🎉.
do you read your comments often?
yes
Gonna bet we see these guys pop up in the rewrite after this vid.
Those two guys almost got nerfed by a ostrich 😂😂😂
They didn’t blitz kakzuzu to be fair lol he was caught off guard
Those two guys looked stronger than Konohamaru today 💀
Both actually looks good on manga
I'd like to know, when they cast a Genjustsu on the sign of the classroom- Is that ON the sign or ON the brains of every single person affected? Genjutsu seems to be a nasty thing Naruto. Wouldn't the scariest ninja be a guy who could hide small needles with genjustsu or something?
My second point would be that those two flunkies would have been traumatized by the first kakuzo fight and have trained extensively to overecome their weakness against that EXACT opponent.. so it's fitting that they did well against an edo tensei
They started to respect Naruto after he beat Neji
I would say They are High Chunin level
They’re just roommates guys!
Tsunade ships those two guys😂
20:01 look in the top right corner there. it's Mr. Kaminarimon!!
I like Raido too! He seems stronk
Kakuzu got done so dirty in the war arc
IDC what anyone says Kotetsu and Izumo have the coolest Funko Pops in all of Narutoverse. xd
The only way imma remember Kotetsu is that he's Gingka Hagane's cousin or something lol
If kakuzu fought for real there, the whole squad would have died. His elemtal jutsus are among the strongest in the series
I always wonder what is the diff with dark green and the green konoha suits about? Asuma, genma have dark suits. Kakashi has normal green
The mid characters have always fascinated me since I am also mid. I want the mid life.
Their special moves are to speed blitz opponent and the only time we see it use are against hidan (immortal) and kakuzu (immortal) 😂😂
In case the Naruto fan bases was wondering. I could solo both of them at the same time in a 1 v 2.
bro has never seen a chain 9:15
