Cleiona wrote: Nagato also doesn't have a Kamui like ability that Minato can take advantage of. The strongest path that Nagato displayed was Deva Path. A path with a 5-second cooldown. So yea, Minato does have such an ability to take advantage of.

Cleiona wrote: Plus, it's not like he's a sitting duck during the 5-second window he is open. It's his strongest attack. Deva was pressured enough against Kakashi to block even things like Chidori. That 5-second gap is significant. it doesn't really matter whether Nagato is a sitting duck here, what matters is that one of his 3 greatest strengths is nullified.

Cleiona wrote: Nagato also has a ton of chakra reserves which would probably outlast two full Minato chakras. . 100% speculation. Minato summoned Gamabunta with ease, showing he has considerable chakra. In addition to this, he used ninjutsu without restraint and even in the end, showed no fatigue from it. The fact that he has perfect sage mode shows that his chakra levels are significant. We have no idea what his limit is, but we do know that it's never come close to it. Cleiona wrote: I feel like you're downplaying Nagato's mind for him not to have counter maneuvers. Alive pre-injury, against Naruto, and as an Edo, Nagato's biggest weakness was his own body. So much that he invented the Six Paths to counter it. Minato's teleportation negates Nagato's greatest strength, deva. I'd say that circumstance makes this unfavorable for Nagato.
