Ranking the Akatsuki From Weakest to Strongest

yeah what's going on everybody so I cog a here and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be doing a request that I've gotten a lot more than I ever expected to when I started this channel and that is ranking the members of the Akatsuki from strongest to weakest though despite the way I wrote the title I'm actually going to be doing it in the reverse order so I'm going to be ranking them from weakest to strongest starting from the bottom and working up from there now keep in mind going into this video that there's no real foolproof objective way to organize these guys in terms of how strong they are another thing to keep in mind is that power scaling Naruto characters is a bit difficult because there's a lot more to it than how hard they hit and what they're capable of blowing up so obviously I'm not going to be ranking these characters based on their physical strength alone I'm going to be taking a whole lot of things into consideration here and these guys are essentially gonna be ordered based on who I think is capable of winning a fight against everybody placed beneath them I know there's no way I'm gonna be able to please everybody with this video no matter how I rank the Akatsuki members somebody's gonna get pissed off but that's not avoidable I'm just gonna do my best and hope you guys enjoy the video so without further ado let's just get started so first up we have zetsu at the bottom of the list and no surprise here I don't really need to explain myself even in the series earlier days when his origins hadn't been revealed it was still pretty clear that set suit wasn't meant to be taken too seriously as a fighter and that he worked as the organization's Intel that he just gathered information and didn't really do much fighting himself now that isn't to say that he's completely irrelevant zetsu or at least one half of him anyway should be given loads of credit for essentially creating the Akatsuki and successfully convincing all of his founders and leaders and anybody else he deemed necessary to follow his cause and unknowingly help him revive Kaguya if you want to put zetsu at the top of this list just because he's an extension of Caguas wells and i guess by all means do that but since this guy was seriously afraid that Kakashi and Minato could both kill him in like two seconds and further taking into account that this Minato didn't have both of his arms it's pretty safe to say that zetsu's not all that tough moving on up next we have he Don and while he Don is probably the most physically gifted member of the Akatsuki just because he's immortal and he can't die unless he starves to death most people agree that his showings aren't really that impressive and he's easily the least intimidating member of the Akatsuki if kakuzu hadn't been with him in the battle against Asuma Shikamaru Co Tetsu and Izumo that would have been it for him after awesome I decapitated him he would have been done for not to mention he got dispatched pretty easily by Shikamaru and granted this was a Shikamaru with loads of prep time but all it took to kill this guy were a couple paper bombs okay a lot more than a couple paper bombs but nowhere near as many as the 600 billion conan attempted to use to kill Toby and while he Don's ritual jutsu is pretty scary and not something that most characters in the Naruto world would want to go up against anybody quick enough to dodge his scythe is safe from being affected by it I think I can say pretty safely that if any of the other Akatsuki members aside from zetsu were to go up against even with full Intel they would be able to get rid of him pretty quickly coming up next we have Conan the paper girl herself a possible suspect for the origami killer from heavy rain a lot of people are probably gonna be mad at me for putting Conan this low on the list and it's not that Conan's week it's just that she doesn't have the feats or really the hype either to put her above any other member of the Akatsuki I also think it's really important to keep in mind when talking about how strong Conan is in relation to other members of the Akatsuki that the only reason she's a member of the organization in the first place is because she was a friend of Nagato and yahiko every other member of the Akatsuki was recruited based on how powerful they were and to the skill set they possessed not Conan though she just got in because she was a friend of the leader or former leader I guess I'm not really sure whether it's Nagato or Obito regardless Conan is still incredibly powerful especially with prep time as she was able to create a literal sea of paper bombs made up of 600 billion of them like I mentioned earlier which would have been more than enough to kill Obito if not for the fact that he had Izanagi now many people have said that based on the little scuffle that Obito and Conan had before she opened up this sea of paper bombs she's actually stronger than him even without prep time but that's not necessarily true I think the only reason she did so well against Obito in the opening moments of their fight is because Obito underestimated her as he himself admits since if he wanted to he could have just phased through all of her attacks she isn't Obito level but she does have plenty of other feats and abilities she's capable of teleporting by turning her body into paper she was capable of tanking we blank fireball jutsu from Jiraiya by coding herself in her paper she's capable of suffocating people by coding their bodies in paper she's capable of flying by manifesting paper wings she can create deadly solid paper Spears and she can even create shuriken made from paper that works just as well as metal shuriken do now all of that said none of this puts her above anybody aside from hidan and zetsu but again not because Conan is weak just because all of the other Akatsuki members are so absurdly strong now this is where things get really tricky I initially had data replaced a little bit higher on this list and I know plenty of people are gonna be really mad at me for putting in this low but again keep in mind that the people who are in the lower half of this list aren't here because they're weak but just because everybody else is so damn powerful so okay here's the biggest thing from this point forward a lot of the differences in ability between each subsequent member of the Akatsuki it's gonna be really small and difficult to notice like data is not very far behind the person who's above him and that person's not very far behind to the person above them and so on and so forth anyway data is an absolute monster like really this guy is no joke he was fast enough to keep up with the SU Chi cago in a battle in the sky and both of them were moving so fast that an experienced joaneen watching from the ground couldn't tell what was going on he was fast enough to avoid plenty of gaara's sand attacks quick enough to create and to replace his own body with a clay clone before a QB enhanced the Naruto could land a hit on him fast enough to avoid a blitz from Sasuke and this is important because this same Sasuke when he wasn't powered up by having absorbed Orochimaru blitzed all of team seven including Naruto sigh Sakura and Yamato and none of them were prepared for it his left eye is capable of seeing through genjutsu he has a ridiculously versatile arsenal thanks to his C clay variants including c1 which he uses to create various animals out of clay c2 in which he creates a gigantic flying explosive dragon c3 which was so powerful it nearly blew up the entire sand village c4 which destroys the bodies of his enemies on a cellular level and c0 which is his self-destruct move that created an explosion comparable in size to a juvie blast there is no joke at all and I feel really bad about putting him this low on the list I mean really this guy's a freak of nature he's had both of his arms ripped off before and didn't really seem to care when it happened he had Toby lay out an entire minefield then fell on his own land mines and survived and he doesn't even have to use clay to perform his explosive jutsu and his battle with Gaara he just used gaara's sand instead so that way he didn't have to use up any more of his clay unnecessarily I would love to say that there's something holding data back and keeping him this low on the list but really there isn't everybody else on this list is just so insanely powerful so next up after des terreaux we fittingly have saw Suri of the red sand the strongest puppet master in the entire series and now I'm sure plenty of people are gonna be like what's a Suri spider why stronger okay look look look look and here's a panel of data or literally saying saw Suri is stronger than him data is so prideful that he literally killed himself because he was so pissed off that he couldn't beat Sasuke I'm pretty sure de Toro was telling the truth here and I don't think I really need to back the statement up for anybody who actually knows what saucer E is capable of like yeah he wants to Sakura and an old lady he's flat in league now saucer is a powerhouse one of the scariest fighters for anybody in the verse to go up against saucer e has insta-kill poison that was only stopped by an antidote created specifically to counter at 298 puppets at his disposal a puppet body that gives him incredible versatility in both close and long range combat the third Cossack hog a puppet literally made from that Kazakh guy's body capable of using all of his abilities including the legendary iron sand VIII Haruko shell which on its own was able to deal with Kankuro with little difficulty and apparently he took down an entire country with his performance of a hundred puppets jutsu which isn't surprising I mean even if you take out the puppets you still have saucer ease insanely powerful puppet body to deal with and you might think well you can just blow saucer e up but no Sakura punched him to pieces and he just built himself again it's like what kakuzu did when he Don got his head chopped off except saucer he was able to do it himself and for anybody who really thinks that saucer e truly lost to Sakura and Chiyo first of all Chiyo says that he let himself by the final attack second of all she Oh had like the 10 strongest puppets ever created Chicka Matsu 10 puppets created by the first puppet master ever which by themselves were capable of taking out an entire castle Chiyo also knew everything about him including all of his abilities and weaknesses once again they had an antidote specifically created to counter the effects of sorceress poison I mean once again the only reason saucer II isn't any higher on the list is because everybody above him is just so nonsensically strong oh yeah I almost forgot to add moon sorceress brought back with that Oh Tensei he uses his puppet strings to control living people I mean there's really no stopping this guy he's absolutely out of control now I initially had kakuzu way lower on this list he was beneath both sasori and deidara but then I went back read through some manga chapters that had him in it just to brush up on him real quick and remember that kakuzu is each stupid how strong these guys do the first thing that everybody brings up when talking about how strong kakuzu is is that he allegedly survived a fight with the First Hokage and the third data book confirms this I'll be the data books are a little bit shaky in terms of credibility because they also claimed that heavy sasuke is stronger than every member of the Akatsuki but still it says that after pakka's who failed on his mission to kill hoshi rama he was tortured because he didn't really like his punishment that much he stole the hearts of the village elders and then became whatever it is he is today now even despite the fact that he has five hearts and can't be killed unless all of these hearts are destroyed plain kakuzu is I mean like reading through these manga chapters I was stunned by how powerful he was no this big ol gate guarding this temple kakuzu just punches you down he and he the honors staring down the two tails mana table II the two tails brings up its claw and prepares to hit both of them with it in kakuzu just catches it with both of his hands like it's no big deal my table II then proceeds to fire a tailed beast bomb at both of them point-blank and obviously he Don survives but kakuzu does too with no damage I guess kakuzu also like blew up this gigantic chunk of the ground by just punching Shikamaru he has this area of effect attack that may as well have blown up the entire forest that he was fighting team Kakashi in his tentacles have an insane range his hearts are capable of flying through the air he has access to all five basic nature transformations he has a long ranged form that gives him access to even more chakra and after he took a rasen shuriken point-blank to the face he still survived for a couple seconds after that long enough to say some final words he doesn't have as many feats as Sasori or deidara but I think it's safe to say that he's more powerful than the two of them by a slight margin now that we've gotten into the top four and gets a little ridiculous up next we have Kissimmee Kisame I don't want to say that he's that much more powerful than kakuzu is but I mean based on showings I'll just go ahead and start running through what this guy has done before because oh my god so with a 30% water clone he forced a guy to open up the sixth gate and was able to keep the rest of team guy that being Neji a joning Rock Lee and Tenten all trapped within water prisons wider prisons created by water clones created by his 30% clone ravely keep all of team guy except for guy in water prisons and even while he was funneling chakra into those clones guys still had to open up the sixth gate to beat his 30% clone and even without his sword samehada Usami was giving seventh gate guy a pretty solid run for his money and that's not even mentioning the fact that Kazama absolutely destroyed be the same bee that went to town on not just Sasuke but all of teen taka bee was touted as the strongest the jinchuriki in the whole world and Kisame made really short work of him the only reason he ended up losing it all was because samehada decided it didn't want to be loyal to him anymore and wanted to start working for beef he also created this gigantic floating ocean of water that travels with him as he moves I mean if this doesn't all sell you on him people call him the tailed beast without a tail that should be just about all you need to know about this guy not because Orochimaru was temporarily a member of the Akatsuki I'm gonna give him an honorable mention and just say this is where I think he would go I don't want to spend too much time talking about how strong Orochimaru is but you know he mastered Edo Tensei was able to press her oozin fought pretty evenly with four tailed version to Naruto while severely weak and has a whole bunch of other crazy feats he's also comparable to Jiraiya who kisame was pretty terrified at the prospect of fighting and I mean he's overall just a really strong ninja but yeah moving on to actual number three above Kissimmee we have Itachi I mean you time she really speaks for himself you know a modder a su tsukuyomi Susanoo yada Mirror Totsuka blade exploding shadow clones crazy fast hand signs absolutely annihilated Kakashi with pretty much no effort whatsoever was able to react to Kiran fought hand hand evenly with KCM Naruto fought sage Kabuto alongside Sasuke and was instrumental in ending the fourth shinobi world war really nothing needs to be said about him I think the only things about Itachi that I'm really gonna need to heavily discuss are things that involve why he was placed at number three and not number one or number two but yeah I mean this guy is a total legend everybody knows he taught she's Opie I don't really think I need to go into detail now above Itachi we have Nagato or pain and once again I think he speaks for himself but also like with Itachi many people are gonna be like what what's Nagato doing here why isn't he at number one obviously he's the strongest member of the Akatsuki right and well not necessarily but he still I mean it's not get so it's pain it's the guy with the Rinnegan like I said I don't really think I have much explaining to do here he has all of the Rinnegan x' abilities which i mean that includes the ability to rip people's souls straight from their body some in the ghetto Mazo use Shinra Tensei banjo Tinian Shabangu Tensei summon all of the animals available to the animal paths manifest mechanical limbs fire laser beams missiles some of the King of Hell and insta-kill people absorb ninjutsu absorbed chakra through direct contact I mean once you've watched Edo Itachi and Edo Nagato versus Naruto and bee its kind of impossible not to acknowledge just how ludicrously strong Nagato is you know Naruto and bee just proved that they were more powerful than Tsunade and the right car guy and got permission to go headfirst into the war and then Nagato just swooped right in and started [ __ ] on them and I mean all we told even outright said that yeah Nagato is invincible there's no one capable of taking this guy out then finally I think I have my most controversial placement on this list at the very tippy top we have Obito and now I think if I was talking about Obito with the Rinnegan a lot of people agree with me but I don't think that's exactly fair because by the time Obi told God the ring the Akatsuki had fallen apart and all of its members were dead I'm talking about single Sharingan Obito and now many people might be like excuse me that Obito is nowhere near as strong as Nagato but bear with me because he would definitely win in a fight against him the thing about Obito is I mean Kamui is just really hard to deal with if Nagato decided to use Chiba Kooten say all Obito would have to do is suck himself into Connally and then that would be that so really in a fight against him Obito doesn't have anything to worry about as far as setting up his defenses goes but the biggest thing is that many people forget about how powerful Obito actually is with just his one Sharingan because he didn't use the chains after his fight with Minato if he had been fighting anybody except for Minato with both the QB and those chains at his disposal the fight would have been over immediately I think many people missed the point of the chains completely but the point of them was Obito would charge at people and then catch them by surprise by slipping through them using calmly and afterwards the chains he was carrying what catched them from behind they would be too surprised to react and obito would be able to immediately turn around and suck them into the combo we dimension and that would be that there's nothing anybody could do about it Plus Obito has this huge reserve of spare Sharingan just lying around so he's capable of using either Nagi then he also has Hoshi rama's cells so he has regenerative abilities plus he's his durability is I mean it's really a sight to behold after having his heart impaled becoming the jinchuriki of the ten tails and then having the juubi forcibly ripped out of him casting the Renee Tensei jutsu being taken over by zetsu having his mind assaulted by moderate having the Rinnegan ripped out of him and using his manga Kyo Sharingan in an attempt to synchronize his Kamui with Caguas dimensional portals Obito was still standing and did not collapse from exhaustion and die yeah I don't think any more needs to be said [Music]
