And when exactly did I call the raikage a dumbass? I never did. Intelligence, like ever y other stat, is relative. Part one rock lee was fast, but there are chafacters who are faster. And it's how the stats match up in the battle. No one stat individually determines everything. You guys talk about how strong the armor of rhe raikage is when itachi can one shot him. Those ten thousand fodder shinobi obviously couldn't even scratch him. He battled the gyuki to a draw, sure that's also impressive, but what is the gyuki made of ? Flesh, even sasuke's chidori was able to cut it's tentacle off. The third raikage probably can tank a bijuu bomb and had the speed to evade the tentacles and the stamina to last. But that was purely a battle of brawns. So how is the battle match up versus itachi? Itachi has the firepower to kill him, he is smarter, he has the defenses to deal with the nukite, the only problem is the speed. Itachi had lower reserves than all his opponents, so I dont know why people act like this is something new. But you guys spamm the raikage being able to blitz around, when first of all, he is not as fast as son, not even his son was blitzing around madara's susanoo like you guys claim he will and he ended up getting caught in genjustu. Killer bee is who, much slower was able to tag v2 4th raikage despite the " untouchable speed". Speed isn't enough to win the battle. The third raikage CAN win the battle, but isn't anything like you guys claim. He is a close range fighter, where the chsnces of getting caught in genjustu are maximized.
