[!!!PART2!!!] 5th post of my series of posts where I will discuss and give out scans (mainly anime only) to show off the prime version scaling of Boruto's mates and their teams.
*Acronyms used in this post are shown at the end of the post.
Today, I will talk about the prime version of Tsubaki and different forms of Nue (except for Baby Nue).
Part 1 has covered Hanabi, Namida, Wasabi and Sumire.
1. Tsubaki
-General scaling: Tsubaki scales higher than MDA Anxious 1G Metal (Denki's statement).
-Speed:
Along with the above statement, a second evidence for her speed to be higher than prime version of Metal Lee is Shinki's complimenting her fast, while he didn't say such thing against base Kawaki who he absolutely bodied (and base Kawaki scales relative in speed to Adult Konohamaru and therefore BE Base Rock Lee).
Speed scaling:
Tsubaki >/~ 2CE Shinki > MDA Anxious 1G Metal ~ BE Base Rock Lee ~ Adult Konohamaru ~ Base Kawaki
-AP (Attack Potency)/Durability:
Tsubaki's normal slashes dealt visible scratches to 2CE Mech Denki.
The same Mech Suit whose normal attacks can hurt Tsubaki if hit directly into her body
Her Secret Sword: Snowstorm Beheading is her ultimate attack which if misjudged the amount of chakra put in, will exhaust her chakra and make her faint due to chakra exhaustion.
AP (Attack Potency)/Durability scaling:
Tsubaki's Secret Sword: Snowstorm Beheading > 2CE Mech Denki ~ Tsubaki's normal slashes > Tsubaki >/~ MDA Anxious 1G Metal
2. Nue (Giant Nue, Medium Nue [also known as post-STN Nue] and Tiger Nue)
A. Giant Nue
-General Scaling (doesn't conclude stats, just who would win in a battle):
Kakashi and Sai thought even SPSM KCM2 Hokage Naruto wouldn't be able to beat Giant Nue and Sai admitted Konoha would only have a chance against Giant Nue if Choji and "others" work together to beat it (mainly due to its chakra absorption hax, and they would need Taijutsu or something similar to beat it)
[this may or may not include Sasuke as we are not sure if Sai was also wishing for Sasuke's presence who wasn't there at the village]
General scaling: All Konoha shinobi in that arc (w/ or w/o Sasuke) ~ Giant Nue
-Durability:
Since Sai thought that Choji would need help from "others" to beat Giant Nue, it is possible that Giant Nue's durability is relative or higher than BE Giant Butterfly Choji (who was stated by Kakashi to be the strongest man in Konoha in that form).
Durability scaling:
Giant Nue >/~ BE Giant Butterfly Choji >/~ Boil Release SPSM KCM2 Hokage Naruto's AP (w/o Rasengan and Tailed Beast Bomb's variants)
B. Medium Nue/Post-STN Nue
After spending a large amount of chakra on Space Time Ninjutsu, Nue's body got much smaller and also got much weaker in AP and durability (AEA Base Mitsuki's Wind Breakthrough was able to blow it away)
-Speed:
This Nue didn't have too much of a problem keeping up and fighting against AEA Base Boruto (who could outrun BE Shino's normal bugs)
Speed scaling:
Post-STN Nue ~ AEA Base Boruto >~ BE Shino's normal bugs
-AP (Attack Potency)/Durability:
Despite its smaller size, its attacks still pose a threat to AEA Base Boruto and Base Mitsuki.
AP (Attack Potency)/Durability scaling:
Post-STN Nue ~ AEA Base Boruto ~ AEA Base Mitsuki ~ BE Shino without bugs
C. Tiger Nue
-General scaling: BE Suigetsu ~ BE CM2 Jugo >> Tiger Nue
Tiger Nue's scaling limit would be far below BE Suigetsu and BE CM2 Jugo individually as it got hard stomped in a 1v1 fight against them (technically Sumire was there with Nue when it fought Suigetsu, but she was not a contributing factor in that fight at all).
[Suigetsu even admitted he was going easy on Sumire and Nue]
-Speed:
Tiger Nue was able to run fast enough to save Boruto from a jetpacked Jugo right before impact.
Tiger Nue also managed to tag CM2 Momo before he could counter.
CM2 Momo is faster than CM1 Momo who blitzed JA Sumire.
Though CM2 Momo later on was able to catch Tiger Nue charging at him, so they were only relative to each other.
Speed scaling:
BE CM2 Jugo >~ Tiger Nue ~ CM2 Momo >> CM1 Momo >> JA Sumire
-AP (Attack Potency)/Durability:
Before and even after being caught by Momo, Nue could still push him back a few meters.
This same Momo was 10x stronger than his CM1 self, who was able to one-shot JA Cloaked Wasabi.
After both encounters with Tiger Nue, Momo still admitted he wouldn't lose against Nue and was able to slam it into the ground (however the damage wasn't bad as Nue could still stand up right after that).
Nue's other durability feats are much better than its AP, since it was still conscious and still ready to continue fighting Jugo after being thrown around the forest for a while and getting punched by him multiple times.
AP (Attack Potency)/Durability scaling:
BE CM2 Jugo's Punches > Tiger Nue ~ CM2 Momo >= 10x CM1 Momo >> 10x JA Cloaked Wasabi > ???
*Form/Mode Acronyms:
CM1/2: Curse Mark stage 1 or 2
1G: 1st Gate
SPSM KCM2: Six Paths Sage Mode + Kurama Chakra Mode version 2
*Arc Acronyms [Order of arc acronyms is the same order of arcs]:
AEA: Academy Entrance Arc
MDA: Mitsuki's Disappearance Arc
JA: Jugo Arc
2CE: 2nd Chunin Exam
BE: Boruto Era (used for a character that doesn't show any significant changes throughout the entire Boruto series)
