As we all know, Kabuto's transformation in part 2 to major antagonist and player in the 4th Shinobi world war made him quite formidable. He became quite powerful in a very short span of time. How powerful exactly? He claimed he was the closest thing to SoSP in existence. He might not have been wrong.

With his 'DNA'(Strange Transmission Distant Shadow) ability, he was able to use the abilities of all the individuals he assimilated into his body. Namely the Sound Five and Orochimaru. Now, could he have actually assimilated more shinobi into himself? Assimilating all the reincarnated shinobi that he had would have logically made him the strongest being, apart from the TTJ.

What is really interesting, is the fact that he had all the material he needed, DNA and such, but never showed any signs of abilities from other shinobi. I think there is some truth to his statement of being close to Hagoromo in potential at least.

This thread is meant to discuss Kabuto's potential and generally a Kabuto appreciation thread, as Kabuto is kinda overlooked in terms of strength.
