LegionZero wrote: Being a reincarnation doesnt guarentee power. Specifically for Ashura, it just means having good work ethic and having strong bonds. None of the reincarnates prior to Madara and Hashirama were particularly strong or strong enough to be remembered

Of the content we've seen, Indra and Ashura were made out to be incredibly strong. Just like Naruto, Ashura took the difficult path to becoming a strong person. Just like Naruto, he became strong because of the friends he had made. Find something that proves they weren't strong.
