Wasn't he the one who figured out Madara's Gedu-damas' weaknesses and came up with the plan to make Gai successfully land a hit on him? When he was armless he was the one who took all of Madara's Gedu-damas (except one) and that weakened Madara. So, he was not really useless as he was doing stuff. On the other hand, the other Hokages were doing nothing (except for Hiruzen, he was still fighting the Buddha I suppose...)

And do you remember the fact that Lee had to throw the FTG kunai for Minato to actually do it? :P I'm saying he's basically useless on this battlefield since it requires being able to do ridiculously powerful or useful techniques, something Minato can't really do now (especially without Kurama and without arms and thus no Rasengan). :( And I really like Minato, I should note. :)

I don't see how does that change anything exactly, ok, Lee threw the Kunai, then what? Minato is the one who teleported and took the Gedu-damas away.

It does not matter if he needs some help from the others while his armless, he still provide that help.

Either way, hopefully Hagoromo would do something about the Hokages, and perhaps restore them to their full power, but that's off the topic I suppose...
