Minato is the most overrated character in any manga I've ever followed. Ever. He's bland, given ridiculous power for absolutely no reason at all, and he really doesn't offer much to the story besides "I sealed Kurama into my son...and I also kinda made the Rasengan". I thought he was alright when all he could do was the Flying Raijin. Then we found out Tobirama (who I believe is actually underrated) did it first. But then he perfectly knew how to do Kurama Chakra Mode, Tailed Beast Mode and Sage Mode despite being dead for the last 16 years? Kishimoto tried to build him up too fast and failed. Horribly. He's often used as a measuring stick for Naruto, but let's be honest; Naruto surpassed this deadbeat the second he learned how to combine Wind Style with his Rasengan. I actually rooted for Obito and Madara against him.
