true that team with a super stacked yagura is very hard to beat even if they are using kakuzu, but the control rate on kushina has to be pretty good in order to immobilize kakuzu

sounds like an interesting team, i thought about using that ningendo too but with sasuke rinnesharingan for a bigger chance of chaos during round 1 since it's the 45% from ningendo and the 45% from sasuke... It seems that many teams work vs kakuzu, and in the future there will even be more chars that can give him trouble... Problem with those teams is that you can only use them on space time if you're sure the guy will use kakuzu, which he most likely will xD

Kimono Itachi doens't really counter Kakuzu.

Kakuzu would be tanky enough to take early damage from given chakra by Itachi. It's such double-edge sword to play Kimono Itachi against Kakuzu

Once his barrier is on cooldown, even if just 1 round he would heal quite decent and sweep through twice easily.

Itachi only dodges mystery, but Kakuzu can eat through dodge. So nope.

Have Edo Itachi or Kimono Itachi, if not he will kill you in the first round lmao

Edo itachi halves the first 2 pure ninjutsu attacks, so he's pretty good against kakuzu

that's why i added gakido to the team, use gakido's shield on itachi kimono and you c*e itachi kimono's barrier once again without giving a fighting chance to kakuzu.

This applies to the more common kakuzu squads, ofc if you battle a kakuzu with a barrier ninja beside him it's way more tricky to battle them cause you have to concern yourself with their manual barrier ninja

I'll add one character even better, but you need his skill trial: shikamaru chuunin with his mystery y+1 can do the same thing that gakido does, and with shikamaru chuunin you will have that 100% resis and defense for the first 2 rounds, which can help a LOT, this will affect itachi, firemain, just won't affect bee or naruto... But you c*e ino summer too i think it works well

that's true... But in the english version he seems way more broken than in the CN version, specially in arena... I literally lost in round 2 using itachi edo and earth main with resis passive cause kakuzu was dealing all criticals and 3k of damage. If i didn't have itachi i would be eating 6k + 6k, so on round 1 my team would be dead... Not fair

Any formation will do as long as you have edo itachi.

Against a fully BT Kakuzu. I just baited his mirror since he is also running Edo Itachi then just let Guy 8 gates melt his HP away with standard attacks.

yea on arena, edo itachi is a must have now or there isn't a single chance of winning... Still we need a hard hitting character that can hit kakuzu, guy 7 gates can do the job for sure, but he needs to be in front of kakuzu, good thing kakuzu users don't have any originality and just use him in the middle like everyone else does. Shira is also a pretty good hard hitter but like raikage attacking a random character, kinda depends a lot on luck...

yep.

i wouldn't recommend to use it outside space time right now due to how commonly used naruto six paths is because has some issues in dealing with those teams, anyways is the most basic version of the shark bomb team.

in arena you c*e this one, doesn't work as good as in CN due to how shizuka 4* was implemented in our version and due to the currently missing SBs of mifune, but still works decently good (the ninja that misses of my enemy here is AGK, mine is obviously shizuka, i didn't manage to take a fast enough screenshot so it shows the round 1 writing that appears immediately before the 'victory' message XD).
