now that i see that picture it seems like each generation of hokage is getting less flashy.
the first created the konoha forest the second can use water without any water around him the third used only techniques that come out of him. the fourth basically had 2 main techniques the fifth just hits hard and heals.
Given how high level healings techniques arent that numerous , and usually got strong side effects ... not sure i'd qualify the fifth as "just hits hard and heals" .
Especially when tsunade's techniques go far beyond healing and can be effective attacks ... like shutting down neural systems
Nah just that the way you word it make it sounds like minor stuff .
Anyway i dont see each hokage as less flashy each new iteration and agree with your theory .
The 3rd didnt just use "stuff coming out of him" was actually a master at elemental jutsus , quite a beast in taijutsu , and had a powerful summon that even took a staff's shape.
I agree even elss when he's sometimes called the strongest of all five .
The fourth wasnt exactly less flashy ... a taijutsu god moving like lightning with space time technique and you call him a two trick pony ? Even weirder when he can also do sealing jutsus .
Back to tsunade , the way she fight is already flashy enough and you add her medical skills on top
this was like the best scan for this game yet!
