What about it?

Rly?

We want him to be playable ninja in Naruto Online.

At this point he's gonna be fodder bro

A Gaara alt before Dosu? In *my* Naruto Online?

...that'd be the most painful irony ever.

I would take any alternative ninja over Dosu!

mwahahha

I would take the initial version of Curse Mark Sasuke who beat all those sound ninjas over Dosu

lel

That Good Point

Do you actually have any reasoning to these claims, or is this just being said to get me riled up?

(And for clarity, he only beat Zaku.)

Zaku was the strongest and he beat him in a second :))

Zaku wasn't the strongest. Zaku had more destructive power, no doubt. But Dosu was smarter, more tactical, knew how to keep his ego in check (and I have to argue that him taking on Gaara was an out of character moment not like what he would do) and had a pretty hax ability in of itself.

"more destructive power" well, that's the thing, they didn't have any sort of power compared to low level Sasuke even.

And I don't know what hax you're talking about, it's not like he had the infinite tsukuyomi in his arms lol.

You say that, yet Dosu was able to beat Lee, who completely curbstomped Sasuke.

Also, it's unfair to compare Dosu to later villains such as Pain and Obito mainly because they weren't relevant at the time. Remember, these are the days where the Hokage and maybe the Sannin are the most powerful ninja we know. In context, compared to the other applicants, Dosu had potential to be great. Hell, Sasuke even said that Dosu was one of the "elite" applicants, along with Neji, Lee, and Gaara!

And in this context, does making physical objects explode with SOUND ALONE not sound hax? That has to be some pretty high-powered sound. To quote a guy on Reddit:

"Later application of sound based attacks are the multiple cases of audio genjutsu and a few anime only orochimaru jutsus and that one sage jutsu kabuto used that used sound to paralyze itachi and sasuke. the audio genjutsu's are so strong they incapacitate s rank shinobi like paths of pein, itachi and sasuke. If sound works the same way it does in the narutoverse as it does in our world (which i have no reason to assume it doesnt) can be used in extremely effective ways, here's a quote regarding the launch of the Saturn V " The launch of a Saturn V rocket, for example, produces around 220 decibels, which ignites grass a mile away with the sound alone. The launch pad has to dump 900,000 gallons of water a minute below the rocket for absorption or the reflected sound waves would rip the rocket apart" and only 200 decibels is the threshold for death, so in the 200's dosu can start *ing stuff up,setting things on fire, killing people instantly etc.

If dosu lived long enough and managed to escape being killed by orochimaru or gaara i think he would go on to easily be A to S rank level, all depending on how strong he can make his control over sound, if he can get to the 200's he's s rank, if he's stuck only at eardrum bursting level (150 or so) he is B-A rank, anything higher than the 200's and he starts getting absurd and i don't think he could."

Think about it.

To me hax abilities are something that aren't physical attacks and ignore durability, like, there could be someone in Naruto durable enough to sustain those "sound" hits, or go around them no matter how strong they are.

Hax is Shisui's kotoamatsukami, where you do everything he wants without realising it, Itachi's Tsukuyomi, Itachi's Totsuka Blade that can pierce through everything and basically 1 shot you no matter who you are, blocking you forever in another dimension. Like, Itachi at that point just needs to be fast enough and he can beat anyone, but he isn't sadly. Obito's Kamui is also hax, basically the only real hax in Naruto are some of the Sharingan abilities.

Someone with Rinnegan can absorb the sound since it's ninjutsu, maybe it doesn't hurt someone in Susano'o, it wouldn't even do anything to Gaara in that sand sphere thing. etc

when dosu, zaku and kin appear in naruto bandai online????

Remember, in the Dosu era there was no Totsuka blade, no Rinnegan, no Kotoamatsukami etc. When I say "hax" I mean specifically in the context of the exam arc. Apologies, I should've clarified that. At the same time though, I feel like that kind of power can't be ignored even in the later Shippuden arcs where the powercreep is rampant.

In the context of the game, if 200 decibels of sound is enough to kill someone then surely a ball of energy made out of wind chakra can surely cut a hole into someone as well? Yet this doesn't happen as the ninjas in the show are clearly stronger and more durable than the average person in the real world.

I don't think comparing it to the real world is a very good example. xD

Yep, these guys have some stronger bodies than normal people 200+ decibels of sound might hurt them just a little bit and that's it, so many people got burned and ended up with few scratches lol, seem like normal fire doesn't work, only Amaterasu.

BTW make Dosu, a secondary character (I don't see him as a villain) at the beginning of the series as strong as you like, that just means they gotta make Naruto and Sasuke way stronger than that to beat him with ease like they should in the first place.

At that point Orochimaru was the real villain and even him later in the series was fodder, being beaten by Itachi 2 times in less than 5 seconds, the second time was done for good with Totsuka Blade like I said, real hax ability, and couldn't keep coming back to life until Sasuke unsealed the last curse mark on Anko.

And the funniest part is, some characters probably have attacks that exceed 200 decibels along with the attack itself..........
