Yeah seeing a clear BP difference here in addition to a poor placement in the lineup. Fight result has nothing to do with the ninja in question.

Jonin Minato is amazing at killing units but needs to be cared for with debuff removal and some form of sustain. There is no clear "the perfect way to use him," but this formation was basically throwing him to the wolves.

BP difference by HP <- 6k hp at that level is a significant difference
