Monkey Sage I’ve been said this. Retcon that Hiruzen had it but was too old during Orochimaru fight and was imperfect like Jiriya and needed monkey king to help him
Konohamru is underrated by all means necessary. He has mastery over 3 types of chakra natures like, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. He can do 3 types of rasangon like Base rasangon, gaint rasangon, and wind style: rasangon. He has other jutsu like shirenken jutsu, burning ash jutsu, and he can even use the chakra blades probably better than asuma. He can fight people like jugo and win quite easily. He can break throw kashin’s barrier able to get praised by him to. He can summon two animals the toads and the next monkey king Enma, and he has mastery over some sealing jutsu and barrier jutsu. So yeah he’s pretty strong.
The problem is none of these abilities or feats are relevant in the current story. The power scaling surpassed all this stuff by a long shot half way through shippuden.
i mean 12 year old naruto thought to teach him rasengan and he learned it(anime made naruto older than he was in the manga). granted it seems to have taken him over 3 years since we don't see it in the manga until the pain arc but he still learned it.
@@NarutoExplained Exactly…unlike others who just receives buffs and becomes who they were…Konohamaru, as we all saw did his best even as little as he was he still fought Pain(though not one on one) but he proved he was competent 🔥
hell yeah, Konohamaru definitely deserves it, We've seen him train and grow throughout Naruto's anime, and he's become a skilled ninja in his own right.
yeah, Naruto taught Konohamaru the Rasengan when they were both young. It took Konohamaru some time to master it, but he eventually learned it. The anime did age Naruto a bit, so the timeline might be a little different from the manga. But hey, Konohamaru's determination paid off.@@NarutoExplained
absolutely, Konohamaru showed his competence and determination by stepping up to fight against Pain, even though it wasn't a one-on-one battle. He did his best and proved himself. @@jamesbass7776
it was inevitable but very unfortunate that it happened so soon even kakashi and guy were still stronger than all konoha 11 by end of part 1 and arguably by start of shipudden to
Idc till this day that short scene against jugo when he did those crazy acrobatic moves & such in the air with that kick & blade to the face was one of the cleanest scenes in Boruto/Naruto yet!!
I agree with the not attacking off of emotions part but I just think he needs to continue the route that he’s going , like Yea if this konohamaru was in shippuden then everyone would’ve already be giving him his respect tbh… by time skip he should be reaching or maybe reached kage level of power by then
start acting more level headed he goes of emotion quite a lot and i would make him get less outshined by his students which would be difficult but i’d expect him to be doing more idk
The damage is beyond repair at this point. There's no way Konohamaru will be stronger than his own team that he was kicked out of (in terms of writing).
How strong do you think Konohamaru is by the time he's shown hunting down Boruto at the end of part 1 & where would end of part 1 Konohamaru scale in naruto's manga?
i think he’s deff an peak jonin low kage level, i want him to get sage mode in like a way as kakashi training after the 4th war cayse he felt he was weak without the sharingan, i want him to feel like he’s getting to outshined by his students and train in sage mode even an imperfect sage mode should give him a decent enough boost
The time skip could be a great time to buff Konohomaru. By this point he has survived his battles with Kara and learned a lot i could see him easily being Hokage after that if he applies what he learned.
I never hated Konohamaru, making jokes about him is easier than most. 👀 But in all seriousness, I think in my humble opinion the reason why he gets roasted by fans and on a Thursday by Kashin Koji (last time I swear 😂) is because he gets put in situations where he's destined to fail. When you keep fighting dudes stronger than you of course you'll look trash.
My problem with him has always been his style. Man has no edge, in my opinion. He can perform many advanced techniques but approaches every fight the exact same way. He doesn't analyze his opponents' techniques and attempt to find a weakness. Right punch, left kick, and Rasengan. Man has no creativity. He's a "genius" due to his talent at learning ninjutsu. But he is far from being a tactician.
haha, true, making jokes about Konohamaru is easy, but you're right, he often gets put in tough situations where he's up against opponents stronger than him. It's tough to shine when the odds are stacked against you.
so glad you made this video. i’ve been saying Konohamaru has turned into quite the shinobi but all anyone ever says is “he got surpassed by his 12 year old students”. it’s good to see him getting the appreciation he deserves 🙏🏼
Konohamaru has just about everything he needs to be a top tier ninja. He doesn’t really need to work on his ninjutsu because his Rasengan was equal to Kashin Koji’s, is durable to survive being burned along time by Kashin Koji and can fight low on chakra and be hit by Jugo, and has two good summoning jutsus. Now Konohamaru just needs to improve his battle iq. One thing that pisses me off is how little he uses his shadow clones, and how useful they would’ve been in many situations in Boruto, like when rescuing those people from Delta’s attacks, why not create shadow clones to carry more people, or he didn’t use shadow clones at all against Victor or Ao, or his toad or monkey summon. With what happened to Naruto, I hope Konohamaru is motivated and feels the need to hone his skills. Also adding also adding on to what you said about Konohamaru adding chakra natures to his attacks, when he attacked Jigen, was his punches and kicks infused with wind, or does Konohamaru just hit like a truck because if that’s not wind chakra, he definitely needs to improve that taijutsu because she could be lethal
All he really needs to do is master Sage Mode, preferably Monkey Sage since we've never seen it & it'll be unique to him, leave the toads to naruto. Even though we've only seen him summon that little ass monkey it at least shows us that he's in contact with them. If the writers & whatnot want to build where we left off with the legacy of Hiruzen I don't see a better way than to have his grandson learn something no sarutobi has before(as far as we know).
he also summons toads too tho him becoming a toad sage wouldn't be that bad considering the fact I don't think there is a monkey sage mode they said only way you become a sage is by toad slug or snake unless you hashirama and can just make your own sage mode
I put konohamaru in kage-aid tier. Like he can for sure help a kage in battle and he in a strong jonin but he not HNIC yet respectively. Most jonin we see casually through the story aren’t better than him like minato assigned squad. For example chojuro was a aid to mei before he became a kage. He was strong with his sword but he still needed development to get to kage level. Granted we havent seen much in boruto of chojuro but its more than likely he gotten stronger since then. As of now i think he is relative to that. Him being on team 7 was never a real negative thing for me because as you said the team was stacked with prodigies. With boruto being a baby god, sarada being a sasuke version of sakura, and mitsuki being a incomplete sage, i dont see why its expected of a jonin with no special hax to be able to out perform them😂 i never understood that part of the fandom. Konohamaru is a byproduct of hard work and perseverance only to be ridiculed for not being gifted hax abilities 😭 he can only do so much
Think about it like this. He's a highly skilled Shinobi. Not a freak. Danzo: implanted eyes and made an arm from other shinobi's DNA. Boruto: Alien vessel Kawaki:Alien vessel Sasori: Human puppet Kisami: Human Shark Jinchuriki: vessels for demonic spirit Kakuzu: is literally walking hair with human skin that steals hearts. Kabuto: fused with snakes and multiple Shinobi Madara: literally has another man's face fused into his chest. Kinkaku & Ginkaku literally lived and ate the inside of a demon to transform. Pain: literally impaled by a contraption to manipulate dead bodies. Black/white zetsu(i still don't know wtf he/they is) Jiraya: fused with multiple toads and beastly transformation. Im sure there's probably ton of other shinobi's that are on freakishly insane that i missed out there
Remember in the chunin exams he faught naruto and was able to use the multi shadow clone technique to create what looked like over a 1,000 clones the chakra needed to do that is massive
A redemption for his character would honestly be very easy to write. With Naruto supposedly dead I think the natural progression for him is to cope with it by training and becoming stronger, as he now has to realize his dream of becoming hokage way faster. He at least has potential to be as strong as sakura i think
They couldve made him tactical fighter training sarada to become more tactical fighter, meanwhile sasuke trains her for jitsu, sharingan genjitsu and sakura with chakra control. If they had done that, that would've made him somewhat relevant even if he isnt a powerhouse.
Aside from naruto and Sasuke Konohamaru is the only one that is always willing to throw hands with the enemy. He fought AO, Jugo, Victor, Jigen and Isshiki
Konahamaru needs to have a kakashi type boost in The time skip. I was thinking like learning new sealing jutsu that was locked away where Naruto found the scroll for multi shadowclone jutsu. Or monkey sage mode/summoning as hirozen was apt to using
I'm still pissed with how Konohamaru was handled. They should have gave him at least one dope @$$ win against an important antagonist. How dope would it have been to see Konohamaru pull out a Fire Release Giant Rasengan 😮💨
konohamaru is actually a really experienced shinobi it’s just his teammates/student’s outshine him, which is to be expected when two of them are otsusukis one has sage mode and other has MS
Everyone trashed Konohamaru for being "weak" when in fact he's younger than Kakashi was when he was assigned Team 7. He's his own person, he's not Hiruzen and it wouldn't be realistic for Konohamaru to be as strong as Hiruzen in just a couple of years.
@@theprofessor2817 @theprofessor2817 Konohamaru did not make his name in a war like Kakashi did and he does not have access to a Kekkei Genkai. It's great that he's far past Iruka's power level but people expect him to be a Shinobi God out of nowhere just because he is a Sarutobi. Asuma wasn't strong at all compared to a lot of others and he was Hiruzen's son.
Konohamaru is really a genius he taught himself the rasengan from watching.. naruto is not a good teacher. Only reason he is downplayed is because he doesn't have massive chakra reserves but his book knowledge is the best he's been trained by the top ninjas since he was a little kid. Also i think he knows ash release as well.
Well he does have massive charka reserves just look at his fight with naruto during the chunin exams, he used the same amount of clones as naruto, and that rakes lots of charkra.
Konohamaru needs to get a power up to take over as the 8th hokage. Naruto trained and inspired him. Maybe it would be awesome if he learn hiruzen's jutsus as well to power up.
Konohamaru is objectively strong, it's just people had an unrealistic expectation of what he'd be like. I have no idea why people thought he'd be like a second Naruto or Hiruzen.
I didn't expect that, but seeing him getting bodied by random ass Jonin is disappointing. Then there's the fact that he's weaker than half the genin in Boruto.
While I am not all that passionate about Konohamaru, I would have liked him to be the Kakashi of this generation. But I have realized a few years now, that this is impossible from a writing standpoint. In Naruto you had only one MC, while Sasuke was the main secondary character. In Boruto the way it is written, both Boruto and Kawaki are MCs. The role of Sakura is filled by Sarada, while the role of Kakashi is kinda filled by Mitsuki. There is simply not enough room for Konohamaru in the manga at the very least. But if I were to place Konohamaru anywhere based on what I have seen him do in the Anime up until now, I would say that he is at the very least somewhere right at Kakashi's part 1 level, or slightly above that. He would definitely defeat both Zabuza and Haku by himself. He is stronger than Asuma simply by having both the Rasengan and the summoning jutsu (monkey and toads). I can see him handle someone like Kakuzu mid to high difficulty.
They should have made him atleast stronger than the third hokage ... as the new gen is meant to surpass the previous, as stated in the series itself...
I’d love to see konohamaru train with orochimaru and log. I would bring the story of lord third and orochimaru. And I hope konohamaru is in a training arc now and will be strong af… bc I’m tired of being disappointed in him 😂😂you’re right tho I’ve been too harsh on him
which version of the third hokage? 69 year old Hirzuen who fought Orochimaru or prime hiruzen who was stated to be stronger than the first and second hokage?
Gotta go with 69 year old because the anime wasn't flushed out back then and I don't think the 3rd was ever stronger then his predecessor maybe the second on a good day but never the first
Konohamaru only took the L's he did because of who he's up against, characters that would beat basically anyone else and faster. If we got some filler of konohamaru fighting some rougue ninja or jonin from any other villages he would have highlights for days.
I absolutely do think Konohamaru is low Kage level. That Jugo feat should not be downplayed. He still effectively beat Jugo, while having his chakra drained, WHILE having to protect the rest of team 7. Because let's be honest, Team 7 WAS getting in the way. If it was just Konohamaru and Jugo, I strongly believe Konohamaru would have won. That being said, it still only puts Konohamaru in the super low Kage level, and I would like for him to get a buff. Learning Monkey Sage Mode or something would be gas 🔥
He definitely needs an upgrade. Maybe sage mode or something else. Its wild that Boruto is evolutionizing his skill set. Things that were expected of Konohamaru
Naruto just shaped it into a shuriken but that Forbidden tech he created has multiple purposes like : *sawing, exploding and punching!* Konohamaru has a 50 caliber level Rasengan when infused with wood. I reckon each infused Rasengan, utilizing a different chakra affinity, would produce different destructive results. A Rasengan infused with water could produce the force of a cannonball and etc.
We saw what Konohamaru was able to do against Isshiki. Enemies that are about to come are even stronger. So everyone without super-duper mangekyo or rinnegan, karma, sage mode etc. is basically a civilian at this point and all their shuriken training was in vain and could now use their skills with kunais by opening a sushi/ramen shop etc.
They did my man dirty. The way shippuuden was made. It seemed like Konohamaru was next up. Although he does know rasengan did Naruto train him as his sensei. It'd be great if they could a back story if this is the case.
I think that Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki seemed stronger than they were in earlier chapters because Kodachi favored having them fight the main antagonists, asides from when Naruto and Sasuke were involved. I believe the logic is that since the targeted audience of a Shonen manga are teenagers, giving the younger characters more spotlight is best because they are the characters the audience connects with the most. This resulted in other characters getting less time to shine and getting written out of fights by getting incapacitated, making them appear to be weaker.
easy for likes. i've made jokes for cheap laughs, but I also have gone on record a few times pointing out konohamaru level isnt the insult people think.
I never took him seriously. I still don't know where this big expectation came from. Despite his jutsu arsenal, I still find Asuma to be a more crafty ninja. His wind style Rasengan packs a mean punch, though.
Narratively, you don’t give Naruto a protege who does nothing, and hence the expectations. It’s classic Checkhov’s Gun. He’s Checkhov’s Hokage, they all but said at the beginning that he’s gonna be Hokage someday and so it makes no sense for him to exist in the story unless he does it at some point by the time the story ends. And the hardest part about it as a Konohamaru fan is that he really is strong and has the potential to be the off-brand Naruto that he is, but he never seems to properly live up to it these days. Naruto Explained did a good job in the video of explaining how good he could be, they just don’t toss his name around enough in the writers’ room.
It kind of reminds me off elements that combine ninjustu overpower the ninjustsu. Just like water ninjustu is stronger by water. His rasengan argued to be doing something similar. How its enhands by the speed creating this wind vortex that use the air around the rasengan the wind vortex doing extra damage. It enhances his rasengan. If thats the case Konohamaru having really good chakra control to make it spin just fast enough to great this rasengan is impressive.
Konohamaru should be a elite jounin. But him defeating Jugo puts him in somewhere near pseudo kage tier from the original. Maybe a weak kage tier after the timeskip. But I don't think he will ever reach his grandfather's level. Let see.
I'd say he's pre-Time Skip Kakashi level. Strong, but still immensely outshone by people on the level of say, Itachi or Kisame. I think what he needs is to go learn sage mode from the toads (as other people have suggested and I only just noticed, whoops). Or maybe a version of it specific to the monkey summons he and his grandfather have/had contracts with (also suggested by others). It just doesn't make sense to me that he learned so much from Naruto but didn't get even an inkling of Sage Mode. And god knows he has the motivation to go learn it after everything that happened.
I would say Konohamaru has definately surpassed his uncle and in terms of power, since seems to be equal to Kakashi part1. Of course he does not posses the sharingan and kakashi s intellect, but still he is in that level. Unfortunately he does not seem capable o undergo sage training yet or ever... He is good but he needs more training as you mentioned
After the introduction of otsutsuki clan & the plot around the Karma seals doubling down on otsutsuki clan genetics. Humans are just going to be underwhelming with sprinkle of plot armor to move the narrative.
He won't, it is impossible without making it look like a ridiculous ass pull, he is literally stuck as a jonin who isn't able to fight any future opponents except filler characters that don't actually matter to the plot.
What if konohamaru is the next hokage during the time skip. That would be wild but makes sense. Or kakashi filled the role again. But it would make sense for Kono as they basically hinted it in threw out all of Naruto
14:13 even lee still being down is CRAZY but kono standing back up, to me personally. ALONE she’s he’s pretty decent. Brie strong, like nigga if this nigga was in part 1 OG Naruto he’d have been hyped up for being damn strong. It’s just now we are seeing like too many overly powered “ninja” which ion really care too much for. I really like the normal bases of shinobi. But I mean all this other OP shit is dope ash too, I miss the feel of OG Naruto.
Konohamaru needs a power boost
i think he's where he needs to be. I never expected him as kage level. It just looks bad b/c his team of prodigies surpassed him
He needs Sage Mode
Well.. his master Naruto got killed and this is a time skip so I bet money he got a power up. Maybe even sage mode
Monkey Sage I’ve been said this. Retcon that Hiruzen had it but was too old during Orochimaru fight and was imperfect like Jiriya and needed monkey king to help him
Also everyone who has used the rasengan has either become the hokage or a sage… besides Boruto and Konohamaru
Konohamru is underrated by all means necessary. He has mastery over 3 types of chakra natures like, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. He can do 3 types of rasangon like Base rasangon, gaint rasangon, and wind style: rasangon. He has other jutsu like shirenken jutsu, burning ash jutsu, and he can even use the chakra blades probably better than asuma. He can fight people like jugo and win quite easily. He can break throw kashin’s barrier able to get praised by him to. He can summon two animals the toads and the next monkey king Enma, and he has mastery over some sealing jutsu and barrier jutsu. So yeah he’s pretty strong.

What do you think of Konohamaru being surpassed by each of the members of his team in power, was it inevitable given who is on his team?
It was inevitable but we didn't expect it to be so fast and easy 😂

it was inevitable but very unfortunate that it happened so soon even kakashi and guy were still stronger than all konoha 11 by end of part 1 and arguably by start of shipudden to

Agreed he’s nothing on Hiruzen as of yet but should surpass him on the theme of the story.
Makes you think about how broken everyone in Konoha will be in post time skip considering that ninja tech will be very prominent
The cope is strong with this one
Konohamaru deserves respect. It's just too bad the writers don't think so.
He might be able to redeem himself in the timeskip, he's now the Hokage advisor

konohamaru is actually a really experienced shinobi it’s just his teammates/student’s outshine him, which is to be expected when two of them are otsusukis one has sage mode and other has MS
Everyone trashed Konohamaru for being "weak" when in fact he's younger than Kakashi was when he was assigned Team 7.
He's his own person, he's not Hiruzen and it wouldn't be realistic for Konohamaru to be as strong as Hiruzen in just a couple of years.
Kakashi was 26 at the start of Naruto. Konohamaru was 27 at the start of Boruto.
@@theprofessor2817 @theprofessor2817 Konohamaru did not make his name in a war like Kakashi did and he does not have access to a Kekkei Genkai. It's great that he's far past Iruka's power level but people expect him to be a Shinobi God out of nowhere just because he is a Sarutobi.
Asuma wasn't strong at all compared to a lot of others and he was Hiruzen's son.
@@chrisleaf What does that have to do with my previous comment? I simply corrected what you said regarding their age.
@@theprofessor2817 Kakashi was still more matured than Konohamaru interpersonally.
I think Konohamaru is a prime candidate for Sage training.
Hopefully
Konohamaru is really a genius he taught himself the rasengan from watching.. naruto is not a good teacher. Only reason he is downplayed is because he doesn't have massive chakra reserves but his book knowledge is the best he's been trained by the top ninjas since he was a little kid. Also i think he knows ash release as well.
Well he does have massive charka reserves just look at his fight with naruto during the chunin exams, he used the same amount of clones as naruto, and that rakes lots of charkra.
@ZeeB... he did it once and was basically out of chakra.
Konohamaru needs to get a power up to take over as the 8th hokage. Naruto trained and inspired him.
Maybe it would be awesome if he learn hiruzen's jutsus as well to power up.
Konohamaru is objectively strong, it's just people had an unrealistic expectation of what he'd be like. I have no idea why people thought he'd be like a second Naruto or Hiruzen.
I didn't expect that, but seeing him getting bodied by random ass Jonin is disappointing. Then there's the fact that he's weaker than half the genin in Boruto.
Konohamaru needs a power up fr
While I am not all that passionate about Konohamaru, I would have liked him to be the Kakashi of this generation. But I have realized a few years now, that this is impossible from a writing standpoint. In Naruto you had only one MC, while Sasuke was the main secondary character. In Boruto the way it is written, both Boruto and Kawaki are MCs. The role of Sakura is filled by Sarada, while the role of Kakashi is kinda filled by Mitsuki. There is simply not enough room for Konohamaru in the manga at the very least. But if I were to place Konohamaru anywhere based on what I have seen him do in the Anime up until now, I would say that he is at the very least somewhere right at Kakashi's part 1 level, or slightly above that. He would definitely defeat both Zabuza and Haku by himself. He is stronger than Asuma simply by having both the Rasengan and the summoning jutsu (monkey and toads). I can see him handle someone like Kakuzu mid to high difficulty.
They should have made him atleast stronger than the third hokage ...
as the new gen is meant to surpass the previous, as stated in the series itself...
2:35 I've always wanted their hidden jutsu to be blue fire release 😂
I’d love to see konohamaru train with orochimaru and log. I would bring the story of lord third and orochimaru. And I hope konohamaru is in a training arc now and will be strong af… bc I’m tired of being disappointed in him 😂😂you’re right tho I’ve been too harsh on him
I think the writers did him dirty he should have at least surpassed the third💯💯💯💯💪🏾
which version of the third hokage? 69 year old Hirzuen who fought Orochimaru or prime hiruzen who was stated to be stronger than the first and second hokage?
Gotta go with 69 year old because the anime wasn't flushed out back then and I don't think the 3rd was ever stronger then his predecessor maybe the second on a good day but never the first
But even with that I think he should have surpassed a more realistic prime 3rd hokage
@@victorharris4101he is garbage 🗑️ 😮😅
Konahamaru needs a monkey sage mode, a fire release rasengan, and more use of his summons that aren’t Enra -_-
Agreed, I was disappointed seeing a wind release Rasengan from him instead of a fire release Rasengan
Konohamaru got suprassed by his team so fast 😂
💀 yeah like with in 20 chapters
Considering he is a normal human and his team are all genetic monsters not really surprising.
Konohamaru only took the L's he did because of who he's up against, characters that would beat basically anyone else and faster. If we got some filler of konohamaru fighting some rougue ninja or jonin from any other villages he would have highlights for days.
Yeah, I would like to see how well he would do against someone on the akatsuki or Seven ninja swords men level.
Can you do a video explaining the controversy over boruto's timeskip design.? Also great video!
I absolutely do think Konohamaru is low Kage level. That Jugo feat should not be downplayed. He still effectively beat Jugo, while having his chakra drained, WHILE having to protect the rest of team 7. Because let's be honest, Team 7 WAS getting in the way. If it was just Konohamaru and Jugo, I strongly believe Konohamaru would have won.
That being said, it still only puts Konohamaru in the super low Kage level, and I would like for him to get a buff. Learning Monkey Sage Mode or something would be gas 🔥
I hope that we at least get more good Konohamaru moments in the anime continuity.
He definitely needs an upgrade. Maybe sage mode or something else. Its wild that Boruto is evolutionizing his skill set. Things that were expected of Konohamaru
If you have to use the inconsistent writing and power scaling to measure him instead of his actual feats that should say it all.
Naruto just shaped it into a shuriken but that Forbidden tech he created has multiple purposes like : *sawing, exploding and punching!*
Konohamaru has a 50 caliber level Rasengan when infused with wood. I reckon each infused Rasengan, utilizing a different chakra affinity, would produce different destructive results. A Rasengan infused with water could produce the force of a cannonball and etc.
Monkey sage mode 😮💨
Murai Sorutobi 🐐 by the end of Boruto
The title is why I stay away from drugs lol
His character had so much potential. They did him dirty
He needs sage mode, flying raijin and an OP offensive jutsu
Definitely Sage Mode
Would be nice if he got a monkey style sage mode where he resembles Sun Wukong and uses a staff.
I have a feeling his little monkey summoning is filler that we probably won’t see very much more of
I agree
Konohamaru need to become a gigachad in the timeskip
Now if only he was treated like one of the strongest jonin in Naruto/Boruto
We saw what Konohamaru was able to do against Isshiki. Enemies that are about to come are even stronger. So everyone without super-duper mangekyo or rinnegan, karma, sage mode etc. is basically a civilian at this point and all their shuriken training was in vain and could now use their skills with kunais by opening a sushi/ramen shop etc.
They did my man dirty. The way shippuuden was made. It seemed like Konohamaru was next up. Although he does know rasengan did Naruto train him as his sensei. It'd be great if they could a back story if this is the case.
I think that Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki seemed stronger than they were in earlier chapters because Kodachi favored having them fight the main antagonists, asides from when Naruto and Sasuke were involved. I believe the logic is that since the targeted audience of a Shonen manga are teenagers, giving the younger characters more spotlight is best because they are the characters the audience connects with the most. This resulted in other characters getting less time to shine and getting written out of fights by getting incapacitated, making them appear to be weaker.

Great video!
yung konanhamaran(thts what i call him) i remember i didnt respect him at first but he earned his stripes forreal
I don’t know why people are hating on konohamaru
easy for likes. i've made jokes for cheap laughs, but I also have gone on record a few times pointing out konohamaru level isnt the insult people think.
I never took him seriously. I still don't know where this big expectation came from. Despite his jutsu arsenal, I still find Asuma to be a more crafty ninja. His wind style Rasengan packs a mean punch, though.
Narratively, you don’t give Naruto a protege who does nothing, and hence the expectations. It’s classic Checkhov’s Gun. He’s Checkhov’s Hokage, they all but said at the beginning that he’s gonna be Hokage someday and so it makes no sense for him to exist in the story unless he does it at some point by the time the story ends. And the hardest part about it as a Konohamaru fan is that he really is strong and has the potential to be the off-brand Naruto that he is, but he never seems to properly live up to it these days. Naruto Explained did a good job in the video of explaining how good he could be, they just don’t toss his name around enough in the writers’ room.
Bro he took out a path of pain as a child 😭
Yoooo! Notie squad member checking in after a long week at work. ✔ Hope you're feeling better.
love from nz bro keep this coming
If Kakashi got stronger overtime, so should Konohamaru....
Hiruzen was a legend, as of now it’s night and day, maybe the time skip can change this.
You're the best from chile 🇨🇱 thanks you
Finally caught a upload early
It kind of reminds me off elements that combine ninjustu overpower the ninjustsu. Just like water ninjustu is stronger by water. His rasengan argued to be doing something similar. How its enhands by the speed creating this wind vortex that use the air around the rasengan the wind vortex doing extra damage. It enhances his rasengan. If thats the case Konohamaru having really good chakra control to make it spin just fast enough to great this rasengan is impressive.
I think it would be kind of cool if you could add a purple lightning really to the Rasengan
Konohamaru getting stronger by the time skip is possible.
Konohamaru should be a elite jounin. But him defeating Jugo puts him in somewhere near pseudo kage tier from the original.
Maybe a weak kage tier after the timeskip. But I don't think he will ever reach his grandfather's level. Let see.
Konohamaru should get hashirama cells for a buff safe mode and all 5 nature change
I'd say he's pre-Time Skip Kakashi level. Strong, but still immensely outshone by people on the level of say, Itachi or Kisame. I think what he needs is to go learn sage mode from the toads (as other people have suggested and I only just noticed, whoops). Or maybe a version of it specific to the monkey summons he and his grandfather have/had contracts with (also suggested by others). It just doesn't make sense to me that he learned so much from Naruto but didn't get even an inkling of Sage Mode. And god knows he has the motivation to go learn it after everything that happened.
He has a lot of Chakra. He is able to use multi shadows clone jutsu like naruto but isnt as much as naruto
Yea he need a power boost for real
I would say Konohamaru has definately surpassed his uncle and in terms of power, since seems to be equal to Kakashi part1. Of course he does not posses the sharingan and kakashi s intellect, but still he is in that level. Unfortunately he does not seem capable o undergo sage training yet or ever... He is good but he needs more training as you mentioned
konohamaru and vegeta are the most deserving anime characters thst NEED a solid W.
Idk eithe he should learn how to open some gates or master the monkey sage mode
He is, he can make almost as many clones as naruto
he's stronger than people give credit for.
He is below Kage and sannin level but I see him as at about the same skill level as kakashi when he took on team 7
Imagine his giant sage rasagan
All I know is that Konohamaru always gets trashed and it makes him look weak.
Hmmm is he like Asuma? Perhaps in the same tier but a smidge lower. That’s a good comparison and a respectable place for konoharmaru.
People will hate me… but konohamaru in boruto is kakashi in naruto part 1.. seriously go back and look.. kakashi wasnt all that crazy in part 1
Konohamaru is on the level of the Ramen shop guy in Naruto. In time he'll progress to shippuden Ramen shop guy.
I feel like konahamaru should get sage mode but be the 1st monkey sage
I've wanted this to happen for years
He seriously need power boost,at this point he can't do anything to anyone.
After the introduction of otsutsuki clan & the plot around the Karma seals doubling down on otsutsuki clan genetics. Humans are just going to be underwhelming with sprinkle of plot armor to move the narrative.
I can’t wait for him to make his kakashi style creep in power when boruto returns
He won't, it is impossible without making it look like a ridiculous ass pull, he is literally stuck as a jonin who isn't able to fight any future opponents except filler characters that don't actually matter to the plot.
What if konohamaru is the next hokage during the time skip. That would be wild but makes sense. Or kakashi filled the role again. But it would make sense for Kono as they basically hinted it in threw out all of Naruto
We need a fugaku return
About time yall put respect on my boy name every since i seen him almost murder tamari in Shippuden years ago i became a fan😂
Konohamaru will shine! Code will shine! An Metal Lee!
14:13 even lee still being down is CRAZY but kono standing back up, to me personally. ALONE she’s he’s pretty decent. Brie strong, like nigga if this nigga was in part 1 OG Naruto he’d have been hyped up for being damn strong. It’s just now we are seeing like too many overly powered “ninja” which ion really care too much for. I really like the normal bases of shinobi. But I mean all this other OP shit is dope ash too, I miss the feel of OG Naruto.
Think Konohamaru needs to learn some type sage mode not like naruto or kabuto it should come from the his monkey Summoning.
Yes
Seeing the title I can't believe this. Ain't no way bruh ain't no way lol
