Why is it so hard to believe that Jiraiya's toads can handle the masks?

Kakuzu's style of combat is to overwhelm his opponent with the multiple masks. This won't work on Jiraiya, because he can summon toads to even the odds. The toads can hold their own as I explained above, we can't just downplay them. In that case, Kakuzu is not gonna have time to enhance the masks or use combination attacks.

On the speed and taijutsu skills of Kakuza, I don't think it is that impressive. Izumo and Kotetsu cut him down quite easily. Please tell me why Jiraiya needs SM to win. I can't see it. Jiraiya is more balanced than Kakashi, his arsenal makes him more versatile. But what does that have to do with this fight lol?

Kakuzu's strength means nothing if it can't hit, as Kakashi would say. Even though Jiraiya doesn't need SM to win, I think it's important to remember that Jiraiya doesn't need the sage toads to use SM. He can use SM by himself, but his strongest SM is with Ma and Pa on his shoulders.
