Kakuzu vs Sasori

[Souret]

Because I never should have changed Kakuzu to Hidan in the other thread :P

Location: where Sasori fought Sakura and Chiyo
Distance: 50ms

Kakazu and his doton strenght should be able to break through hiruko.

He has 5 heart some maybe the poison wont affect all of them *doesnt know how the circalutory system works with 5 hearts*

Good chance that sasori gets blown to bit by kakazus masks. On top of that he can restrict sasori with his threads.

This is difficult... both are powerful ninjas with great skill and amazing powers. But Sasori has 100 puppets and is faster than Kakuzu (4.5 against 4 in Speed according to the databook), so I think that he will be able to pierce all Kakuzu's hearts in the end. But of course it will not be an easy fight, and Kakuzu's control over multiple elements is powerful (although I think that the Iron Sand can counter it). I also want to vote for Sasori because I feel that he is underrated and deserves some more respect for his skills.

Final conclusion: Sasori wins.

How does sasori get past the iron skin?

Just because a databook says something doesin't mean its true.

Most of Sasori's speed came from his hand movement and not actual foot speed in the use of travelling distances.

Kakuzu on the other hand has enough speed to lose track of the unfocused eye casually in combat.

Still, 100 puppets attacking simultaneously is not easy to keep up with.

[Sagepain]

Of course, I was just clarifying because I felt the need to or else everyone else thinks its fine to use a databook because someone else did.

Also, Searing Migrain+ Pressure damage destroys a ton of puppets easily.

Of course. But I suppose that Sasori, after long-time cooperation with Kakuzu, knows that he can only win by killing the five hearts. And I think that poison in Kakuzu's veins is enough to kill all hearts attached to him (if he have blood?). Otherwise, Sasori have to attack each individual heart with his puppets as well as Kakuzu himself, so the numbers are 101 vs 5.

[Sagepain]

Yes, that won't be like that for long though. Keep in mind Sakura destroyed a great deal of them with her fists alone without Chiyo controlling her.

While Chiyo did the same by herself. Only about 25 more or less were left and some were presumably damaged.

In the end Kakuzu boasts much more long range destructive feats compared to Sakura. Not counting if he keeps the Earth heart within himself rendering him immune to all of Sasori's attacks regardless of if the rest of his hearts are destroyed.

What about the Iron sand? With that, Sasori should be able to crush Kakuzu's body or rip it apart easily.

[Sagepain]

He tanked a human boulder with his rock skin so I doubt crushing would work. We haven't see Sasori use his Iron sand in any other way besides form different shapes with it for defense and offense so to grab and rip Kakuzu randomly not knowing what Kakuzu is fully capable of seems ooc.

Well, of course Kakuzu has good chances of victory. Maybe he would win in the end, but I still vote for Sasori simply because I hate the fact that everyone underestimates him. Just because he died so early doesn't mean he is bad; I personally think that Hidan is the weakest member of the Akatsuki.

[Sagepain]

I agree, in fact if you knew me you'd know that Sasori is my favorite character in the entire series. Unfortunately he died too early and when he finally got the chance to shine again........He had no puppets and a human body

In the end Kakuzu just poses so much more of a threat and is a lot better in long range and close range compared to Sasori.

Well, we both know that Madara can beat both of them

[e710]

Kakuzu's Iron Skin makes weapons useless. All Sasori has which can be a problem is Iron Sand which can be negated with all of Kakuzu's large scale fire&wind combination ninjutsu.
Kakuzu can burn Sasori into ashes and has thread to hold him down and take care of the puppets.

You should vote/ debate for the guy who(logically) wins not the guy whos underrated otherwise hinata/ino would win every fight.

[Souret]

^ or Sakura she would win loads if that were the case.

[Maruko]

Kakuzu wins.
He has like 4 hearts and 4 elements. Sasori would have to take him down 4 times, and not even Kakashi couldn't do it with ino-shika-cho as backup.
Sasori's Hiruko can be broken with ease, and what's left is his body and heart.
It wouldn't be easy to crush the entire puppet with all those jutsu.

Sasori was beaten by Chiyo and Sakura, but Kakuzu fought with Hashirama and survived.
That's enough proof of badass.

[PrinceofPeace]

The only thing Sasori can do is posion mist which Kakazu can blast away with air/fire

[Snow Eyes X]

I honestly wouldn't know who would be better because, both of their immortality standards are unique. I guess it would depend on who had a better set of defensive tactics. It's really hard to say
