wrong. this is just a misunderstanding on your part. i never argued that kimimaro NEVER had the ability to go to level 2. it might have been worded in a shitty way, then; my bad. but all i argued was the fact that even thought we've never even seen a lvl 2 from kimimaro, people were just assuming that he can go lvl 2. yeah, i do believe that kimimaro has a level 2 and he activated his lvl 1 when fighting lee (when the marking spread) because of the similarities in the two curse seals. let me just repeat the reason why i argued that kimimaro does not have lvl 2: because we haven't seen it yet but still people just flat out say he does. i've been just trying to correct that. it's just annoying when people claim random stuff without solid evidence. i hope people are able to understand what i am saying now and what i have been trying to say.Originally posted by: Kalean
Interestingly enough, since he argued with me by saying that Kimi didn't have a second curse seal form (I might have been reading too much into his argument, however), that would make him wrong yet again if Kimi does have a level 2. I wonder if he'll have to edit his signature again..
neji is faster than rock lee? saying kimimaro is faster than him would be quite a leap of faith? first, i dunno about neji being faster than lee (i hope someone else can clear this). second, kimimaro is fast, maybe not by a mile, but is just as fast or faster. kimimaro was suppose to have been orochimaru's next body instead of that girl (or whatever it was) for the invasion of konoha. it's been said that it would've gone smoothly and easy if it weren't for kimimaro's illness. that being said, we can pretty much say that kimimaro is a very powerful warrior. if orochimaru (and his 1st/2nd resurrections) was able to take on the 3rd hokage and enma with that random body, then we can tell that orochimaru in kimimaro's body would've destroyed everything. as for kimimaro going against kidoumaru. putting kimimaro in that situation isn't fair cuz their fight could've gone in a totally different way. so there is no way of telling whether or not he would need to use lvl 2.To be a very very VERY late responder, Mut@t@, I assumed that Kimimaro couldn't emit chakra from every chakra hole in his body, because that's been described as an ability completely unique to the most elite of the Hyuuga clan. And since that was the *ONLY WAY* that Neji (equally a close combat freak, just as Kimi has been appearing to be, although we haven't seen any Ninjutsu from Kimi yet) was able to even DETECT Kidoumaru's arrow before it hit him, let alone survive it (The wind displacement bent the oak trees, my friend. That's some hefty punch that thing is packing there. You're not stopping it. At all. Deflecting maybe, but that would require detecting it in the first place, and Neji is FASTER than rock lee without the weights, so saying Kimi is faster would still be quite a leap of faith.) I was saying that a similar situation would have been VERY hard for Kimimaro to survive without a level 2 seal. Even now at level 1, Kimimaro has shown great abilities in close combat, but nothing that would save him from such a powerful and fast and accurate blow.
i'm gonna have to disagree with you here. we don't actually know that kimi's seal is from orochimaru, we can only assume because it's similar to sasuke's curse seal. which means that's it's not fact. i'm not sure if i remember too correctly but, how his illness became about was never explained. it was only said that his illness kept him from being orochimaru's next body, nothing else.At any rate, we know that Kimi's seal is from orochimaru, as it's the same type of three pronged mark that everyone else has, and spreads out across the body when activated in the same way (although each person's pattern is quite unique) and gives a similar status boost, and because Kabuto said it was. That said, if Kimimaro was so close to dying, it stands to reason that he would have a level 2 curse seal, as coming close to death is the only requirement we are aware of for the level 2 curse seal, and that's all sasuke appeared to go through to obtain it.
NOTE: the part in bold is the most important part in my post. plz read it and think about it.
EDIT: nm, i figured out what i didn't understand. no need to explain it and i responded to it.
