Talk:Naruto VS Ichigo/@comment-31212806-20171026090737

Okay so I went back and looked at the research I did on both these characters a month back. It's true that while Ichigo has a moderate speed advantage, (unless you count all of Naruto's speed feats), Naruto still edges out everywhere else and his Truthseeker Orbs are still pretty much the end of Ichigo. Should it come down to Ichigo's final form (Merged Hollow) and Naruto's final form (Sage of the Six Paths) Naruto would win because of all the different insane boosts the Tailed Beasts could still provide him with. Again, Merged Hollow's only feat is killing Yhwach while he was horribly nerfed. And coupled with the boosts from the Juubi, the Truthseeker Orbs would end Ichigo once he takes a couple hits. I'm aware that Naruto said nature energy can counter Senjutsu like the TSB (and Reiryoku is a spiritual nature energy) but that's only in the Naruto universe. It isn't so easy to compare two energies like that. Senjutsu and chakra still have major differences from Reishi. Besides, Naruto only kicked a Truthseeker Orb away. There was never any evidence possessing nature energy makes you immune to their atomic destruction. Even without them, Naruto has the Rasenshuriken to tear apart Ichigo on a cellular level and can just seal him away if he wants. Not to mention he has experience with sword-based fighters like Sasuke, so Ichigo's Zanjutsu is nothing new to him. Ichigo hasn't fought anyone quite similar to Naruto though.
