Beyond Madara Uchiha: Exploring the Strongest Fighters in the Ninja World
Can Anyone Beat Madara Uchiha in a Fight?
The narrative revolves around the supremacy of Madara Uchiha, the Jinchūriki and one of the strongest characters in the Naruto series. However, the idea of whether there are any characters who can beat him sparks debates among fans. Let's delve into the question and explore which fighters stand a chance against Madara, particularly by focusing on the unparalleled power of Kaguya ōtsutsuki.
Madara Uchiha: The Current Supreme Being
Madara, having powered up with the Six Paths of Pain and later the Rinnegan, stands as one of the supreme beings in the ninja world. With his Rinnegan, he possesses advanced abilities that make him formidable. However, the question remains: Can anyone surpass him?
Even with the 1 Rinnegan, it is speculated that characters like Joy Boy Imu Xebec Roger, or Whitebeard, might have a chance in their prime. Yet, as of now, the overwhelming evidence suggests that Madara's reign as the supreme fighter is unchallenged, especially with his Jinchūriki power.
Evaluating the Rivals
Despite Madara's dominance, there are several characters who have been shown to possess powers that surpass his. It is crucial to note that their abilities often originate from the statements and feats associated with Kaguya ōtsutsuki herself and characters who are comparable to her in power.
Feats and Statements Confirming Kaguya's Supremacy
The testament of Kaguya's power comes from her interactions and the statements of characters who have faced her. For instance, Hagoromo ōtsutsuki, who acknowledged his relative inferiority to Kaguya, suggests that she is a figure of unmatched power.
Obito Uchiha, who briefly fought Juubi Madara, has also reported that Kaguya casually overpowered both Naruto and Sasuke. Obito himself admitted that she was beyond them and that it took a considerable amount of time for them to even match her. This feat alone, along with her dodge of Amenotejikara and destruction of Sasuke's Susano'o, further cements her status as a superior fighter.
Scaling Characters Beyond Madara Uchiha
Let's scale up to the other characters listed and see how they fare against Madara:
DMS Kakashi
DMS Kakashi, known for his lightning-speed and rapid chakra-amplification technique, has demonstrated the potential to outmatch Madara, particularly when he uses Amakakeru Bakudan (AKAB). Despite being initially weaker, Kakashi eventually overpowered Kaguya, showcasing his superiority in speed, reaction, and attack power. His durability negation attacks and combat prowess are enough to give Madara a run for his money, effectively negating any claim that gravity or velocity solely contributed to her victory over Kakashi.
BE Uzumaki Naruto and BE Uchiha Sasuke
With the acknowledgment that Naruto and Sasuke are stated to be equals in power, their numerous feats against Kaguya highlight their potential to surpass Madara. In the Shippuden era, Naruto was more than a match for Kaguya, utilizing Boil Release to push her back. In the Boruto era, both Naruto and Sasuke effortlessly defeated Fused Momoshiki, who was narratively compared to Kaguya. Thus, their Boruto-era feats indicate that they are superior to Madara in virtually every aspect.
Other Characters
Characters like Jigen, Isshiki ōtsutsuki, and Fused Momoshiki have been directly compared to Madara and demonstrate clear narratives indicating their superiority. Even Code, who is stated to be stronger than Jigen, and God, who ascended to a 4-dimensional universe, further solidify the perception of Kaguya's dominance.
Conclusion
The narratives and feats surrounding Kaguya ōtsutsuki make it evident that she outclasses Madara Uchiha in power and potential. No jutsu or technique in Madara's repertoire can compare to her, and the power gap is vast and undeniable. Therefore, while many characters are capable of challenging Madara, none come close to Kaguya's unparalleled strength.
