Well, list of hax Riku has:
Poison
Electricity
Life Force Drain
Auto-Kill attack
Binding (Paralyzes)
Gravity Manipulation
Time Slows (YOU DIDN’T SAY SLOWS- AHA!)
Magnet to move enemies
Mini
Blind
Confuse
Sleep

Think that’s all of them, some are AoE, some just happen, some can be channeled through his keyblade, some are a mix of the three.

I didn’t ban the slows though. And Riku still has other hax that could help him out.
Can Riku tank that?
–
Possibly, his barrier certainly can if his body can’t.
@Friendlysociopath
What barrier?
Possibly, his barrier certainly can if his body can’t.
—
His body might come close. Riku tanked a beating from Xemnas and Xemnas proved he was capable of matching both Sora and Riku blow for blow. Sora and Riku both cut up buildings and wreck giant Heartless.
—
@Mea
Riku has dark shields that he uses.
Riku tanked a beating from Xemnas
–
Valid point, Xemnas nailed him right across the face and all it did was knock Riku back a bit; otherwise he took no damage from that.
–
What barrier?
–
Sora has Reflect, a barrier of energy that can block any attack and reflect it back at the enemy in the form of light.
Riku instead has Dark Barrier/Dark Shield, which does the same thing minus the reflection.
–
Said barriers can tank anything KH can dish out at them: Hercules hits, Sephiroth meteors, buildings beings thrown at you, lasers, bullets, rocks, and so on.

Riku also uses his body as a shield against Xemnas in another QTE for…reasons. Seriously, he has a Keyblade. Wonder why he didn’t use it…
Sasuke is mountain level:

Have any of your naurto fans ever had to take the time to remind yourselves that Naruto was originally a series about ninjas? Cuz I’m finding myself repeating it more and more as I get further into the shinobi war.

–
Kinda the reason I don’t like it, at least Guren Lagann was consistent with being about pure willpower altering the universe.
–
Naruto went from Ninjas to DBZ for reasons.
@Lowk
And DBZ started out as a little kid with a monkey tail searching for magic balls and fighting demons and a corrupt paramilitary organization. And lets not get started on Sailor Moon going from street level to cosmic goddess? Serial Escalation is kind of manga and anime’s thing. Naruto was just continuing Goku’s tradition, and one day Midoriya of Boku no Hero Academia will as well. He’s already taken up the fine tradition of bullrushing a villain to deck them in the schnozz.
–
@Friendly
to be fair the first page of the manga talked about a giant demon fox destroying mountains with waves of its tail and causing tsunamis
i4.mangapanda.com/naruto/1/naruto-1564774.jpg
just took time for the main character to get to that point and pass it
@Jake
It’s not the progression that gets me. I know shonen stuff power creeps; often at times like a formula 1 race car.
But it’s even more noticeable when the story starts off based on ninjas. Even Ryu’s god of war moment didn’t shake me as much as some of the stuff that came out of Naruto.
@Lowk
would it make you feel better if I told you there’s multiple god Tree’s out there on other planets/in other dimensions in Naruto some even larger than the one Naruto faced and that the Ootsuki’s were apparently an interplanetary/interdimensional empire at some point?
Oh also Naruto gave Boruto a Rasengan that launched Momokishi into orbit. And Momokishi can turn people into fruit and eat them to gain their powers or just absorb their attacks and automatically be able to use suped up versions. Rinnegan, it just keeps getting haxier.
Wow, Naruto just got real.
—
Battle of the Hokage should be a thing now. Then Revival of I.
—
So how fast is Sasuke in terms of reactions? Riku is at the very least a lightning timer, with a possibility of being faster.
Well he reacted to Madara’s lightning blast, though I know thats not real lightning. His Sharingan and Rinnegan give him some precognitive ability which helps him..I can’t remember I think in the fight with Pain Naruto’s Rasenshuriken was calced at…mach 20? and Pain was dodging that EoS Naruto and Sasuke are well above the power levels of that fight so…ridiculously high reaction times?
K, so no one side is blitzing the other, though precog may give Sasuke an advantage..
—
How does he handle being shrunk or bound in place? Some of Riku’s hax AoE’s can be tough to get around…
bound in place he would probably use his swap teleport to switch his and Riku’s places trapping Riku in his own spell.
shrinking I’m not sure
bound in place he would probably use his swap teleport to switch his and Riku’s places trapping Riku in his own spell.
–
KH magic works on the creature, I don’t think switching places is going to matter. And Riku is immune to most of his stuff anyways just by leveling up (They can immunity to the status effects they can inflict)
–
Precog though, that’s probably going to be a problem for Riku.
Madara used a similar technique to swap an invisible clone for himself when Naruto nailed him with a sealing jutsu so I think it peels the user out of binding spells. Not sure.
–
How much shrinkage are we talking about actually? Because depending on the degree he might be able to just activate his Susanoo and it would be the size he normally is. Again depending on proprtions and what not…
Although with the Susanoo blocking the rays of the Infinite Tsukinomi I wonder if spells would just splash against it.

What exactly is the Infinite Tsukinomi? All I got from the scan was that it was magical moonlight and Naruto looked weird when it touched him.
@Nsl98
I don’t know what a nothing is made of. I didn’t really find those feats impressive.

—
Why do we need to know what it’s made of? It’s a building sized monster that causes the ground to shake when it lands. And there is a metallic clanging noise when Roxas hits it.
Its a Genjutsu reflected off of the moon, I’m not sure how that would relate to Kingdom Hearts Spells though.
–
That creature was still visible so Sasuke might be able to pull off using the Susanoo to counter the effects of the shrink spell if it does hit him…I mean if normal people are roughly small action figure compared to the Susanoo then being small action figure sized would probably make the Susanoo roughly normal human sized. Is the shrinking temporary if left alone too long?
–
I need to double check if he ever used the Rinnegans ability to absorb Jutsus…
Is the shrinking temporary if left alone too long?
–
Yes. The enemies revert back to the original size if you didn’t step on them fast enough.
oh well shouldn’t be too much trouble best case scenario Sasuke activates his Susanoo and is still able to cause damage, worst case he teleports to another dimension/planet and waits out the hax before returning to the fight.
worst case he teleports to another dimension/planet and waits out the hax
–
Isn’t dimension jumping not allowed if the other side can’t follow? Riku can’t jump between dimensions.
–
Why do we need to know what it’s made of?
–
So we can gauge how heavy it is; although Riku is apparently equal to Sora in every way so… Sora can block hits from a not-holding-back Hercules… Hercules can still throw titans out of atmosphere in KH…
Meh, take from that what you want.
–
And there is a metallic clanging noise when Roxas hits it.
–
That would probably be the keyblade.
@Nsl98
Determining what it’s made of would also determine its weight. Twilight Thorn is rather flexible and stretchy.
I don’t think so, its one of the ways people are able to BFR each other in some matches, though I doubt Sasuke would attempt to BFR win as he’s never attempted to win by dropping someone in a dimension and ditching them before. Using it to plot and strategize or try to wait out hax is a different story though as I understand it.
At least I’ve never seen anything against characters who can warp between dimensions being allowed to.
@Everyone else
Hey sorry for sidetracking (seem to be doing that lately…)
@Mea quidem sententia
Could you hop on the Topia for a moment? I require some assistance that I PM’d you with.
@Monochrome
Hopefully I’ll be able to help.
Well Sasuke does have the Rinnegans chakra absorption. Not sure how or if that’ll come into play or if it would be able to, or how elemental compatibility is going to work here but still could prove problematic for Riku since we’ve seen that used for absorbing jutsus before. Again though not sure how we’re playing with elemental compatibility.

Twilight Thorn is rather flexible and stretchy.
—
And yet is still solid enough to cause the ground to shake with its impact and move the platform.
and I forgot about Sasuke sucking the chakra from the Tailed Beasts
i9.mangapanda.com/naruto/696/naruto-5244899.jpg
so yeah he can do the suck energy from target thing without contact.
@Nsl98
That’s because of its mass. The platform doesn’t look stable.
The platform doesn’t look stable.
–
Pretty sure it is, it’s a decently sized tower and it’s 100% solid if I remember BBS correctly.
–
That said, it IS a battle inside of his heart/mind, so physical feats may be slightly out of the question for there.
–
Then again, the few times we see creatures/people OUTSIDE of the Dive to the Heart they fight exactly the same as they did within it- so perhaps it can be taken as physical feats after all.
So found an English Translation of the Novelization of the Boruto movie. Going to go through the chapters translated thus far and see if there’s any combat feats for Sasuke. Though I did find something good for one of the Ootusuki’s the big guy specifically. When he and Sasuke clash the first time Sasuke dodges a strike which splits the floor and as Sasuke chooses to flee in order to get a scroll he found to Naruto rather than risk a fight its revealed the blow is causing Kaguya’s castle to collapse.
–
That would be either the castle seen here i9.mangapanda.com/naruto/682/naruto-5019487.jpg
–
or
i5.mangapanda.com/naruto/680/naruto-4999067.jpg
–
however I’m leaning towards it being the former due to mention of darkness and a pathway which seems more likely with the former. Either way a quite large structure being destroyed with a single blow.
