The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority held its esteemed Tourism Legacy Awards luncheon on Wednesday as the culminating event of the 2024 Hawai‘i Tourism Conference
HTA proudly presented Tourism Legacy Awards to Kaua‘i’s Hamura Saimin and Hawai‘i’s own Chef Sam Choy for their long-standing achievements in serving Hawai‘i’s communities
“Recognizing and uplifting our beloved local establishments
and the award-winning culinary talents of chefs such as Sam Choy
through our esteemed Tourism Legacy Awards
allows HTA and the visitor industry to continue supporting Hawai‘i’s restaurant and culinary sectors,” said Mufi Hannemann
“These awardees are truly deserving of this honor
as they remain an essential part of the fabric of Hawai‘i.”
HTA’s Tourism Legacy Awards annually honor organizations and individuals who have established and sustained a legacy of aloha
This year’s awards were presented to Hamura Saimin and Chef Sam Choy
innovators and visionaries who are shaping and enriching Hawai‘i’s vibrant culinary scene and cultivating a rich tapestry of flavors
HTA presented Hamura Saimin and Chef Choy with papa ku‘i ‘ai
a handcrafted board made from Hawai‘i-grown hardwoods
a stone implement handpicked and carved from ‘Ōhikilolo Valley in west O‘ahu
used together to ku‘i (pound) kalo pa‘a (cooked taro) into pa‘i‘ai and poi
HTA commissioned the papa ku‘i ‘ai and pōhaku ku‘i ‘ai from Akau Boards
Hamura Saimin was opened in 1952 by Charles and Aiko Hamura on Kress St
hometown restaurant continues to serve residents and visitors the comfort foods of Hawai‘i
Hailing from Lā‘ie on O‘ahu’s North Shore and now residing in Kona on the island of Hawaiʻi
love of good food and aloha for guests propelled him to the status of an internationally recognized chef
While Chef Choy’s colorful personality and welcoming smile have drawn customers to his multiple restaurants throughout Hawai‘i over the last 30 years
it is his award-winning cooking that keeps them coming back
He characterizes his cuisine as a “melting pot of the freshest ingredients from every culture in the Hawaiian Islands.”
Also during the Tourism Legacy Awards luncheon
HTA and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Travel Industry Management’s Alumni Association honored the legacy of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole by posthumously inducting Ke Ali‘i Maka‘āinana (the citizen prince) to the Hawai‘i Hospitality Hall of Fame
Presented near the entrance of the Hawai‘i Convention Center’s Kalākaua Ballroom
the Hall of Fame recognizes 52 pioneers in aviation
“HTA is proud to strengthen our partnership with the University of Hawai‘i as we jointly honor Prince Kūhiō’s enduring legacy of servant leadership and his pivotal role in Congress in preserving and enhancing the well-being of Hawai‘i and Native Hawaiians,” said Daniel Nāho‘opi‘i
As a reflection of his ancestors’ practice of Hawaiian hospitality and the Native Hawaiian value of ho‘okipa
he laid the foundation of Hawai‘i as a world-class destination and worked tirelessly to perpetuate Hawaiian culture worldwide
Following the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom
as a Hawai‘i territorial delegate to the House of Representatives in Congress for 10 consecutive two-year terms
Prince Kūhiō introduced the Hawaiʻi National Park bill in 1916
which established a Hawaiʻi National Park encompassing Kīlauea and Maunaloa on Hawai‘i Island and Haleakalā on Maui
Hawaiʻi National Park was later divided into Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and Haleakalā National Park
and both continue to receive federal funding that he fought for
Prince Kūhiō reestablished the Royal Order of Kamehameha I in 1903
established the Hawaiian Civic Club in 1918 and ensured the signing of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) in 1921
The Garden Isle is a visitor-favorite thanks to its lush landscapes

The round cuts of meat are topped with rice and furikake earning it the UFO nickname
You can find this island specialty at local grocery stores like Sueoka Market in Kōloa
no one quite knows the origins of the flying saucer sandwich
There is some debate if the dish was created on Kauaʻi or Maui
you’re going to want to take a bite of these cheesy
Sandwiched between two slices of white bread is a sloppy Joe filling that’s covered with American cheese
It’s then pressed in a pie iron over a flaming hot grill
You can find this Kauaʻi delicacy at farmers markets and festivals throughout the year and businesses like Stan’s Kauaʻi Flying Saucers specialize in the dish
the local company also offers creative takes on the sandwich
with options that include slow-roasted pork

Stephanie Compton, Guest Writer
What would make someone leave the beautiful sandy beaches of Hawaii to come to rainy and cold Washington
but Hamura didn’t always have an intense passion for softball
especially when she began playing at the age of seven
The transitions may have been rough on Hamura
but they have not been rough on her playing
From starting in only 2 out of 16 games her first-year season with a batting average of .200
Hamura then started 35 out of 38 games her junior season and hit an overall of .320 in 100 at bats
Her senior seasons looks just as promising but with a minor injury in the first double-header of the season
Hamura may have to lead the team from the dugout for a short time
Hamura’s hand in Lute softball may not end after this season
as she may come back next year as an assistant coach
she plans to stay in Washington and find a job related to her major of exercise science
No matter what happens in Tori Hamura’s final season as a Lute
she will leave her mark on her younger teammates

Following original actor's cocaine arrest
Sega has unveiled Yakuza spin-off Judgment's newly revised character model for crime boss Kyohei Hamura, which was overhauled following the arrest of actor Pierre Taki on charges of cocaine use and possession last month
Japan's drug laws are strict, and there's enormous social stigma around those that break them. As such, Taki's arrest quickly spurred Sega into withdrawing all copies of Judgment from sale, and other companies followed suit. Square Enix said it would patch Taki's lines out of Kingdom Hearts 3 (he voices Frozen's Olaf)
and Disney even pulled its Frozen Blu-ray from shelves
Sega released a statement explaining that "due to unforeseen circumstances"
the character model and Japanese voice for Kyohei Hamura would be "adjusted" prior to the game's Western release
And now, courtesy of a new video and images posted to Judgment developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Twitter page
we've had our first proper look at those alterations
Throughout Yagami's investigation, he'll have to collaborate with, and occasionally face off against, some of the most powerful individuals in Kamurocho.Meet Kyohei Hamura, the intimidating captain of the Matsugane Family.https://t.co/wAlKs3Jrm8 pic.twitter.com/AVLyFbqwgt
quite as dramatic as you might have been expecting
Although the original character model (based on Taki's real-life appearance) has most certainly been "altered"
enough of its essence remains that Hamura is still immediately recognisable
It'll be interesting to see how closely Hamura's new Japanese voice work (which isn't featured in the trailer) adheres to Taki's original performance
Despite all the fuss surrounding Taki's arrest
and the extensive changes forced upon Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio in the immediate aftermath
still meet its originally planned Western release date on PS4 this June 25th
The western version of PlayStation 4 game Judgment will be changed before release after the Japanese actor behind one of its characters was arrested for cocaine use
which is a spin-off of the popular Yakuza series
will see the character model and Japanese voice for the character of Kyohei Hamura "adjusted" after Japanese musician and actor Pierre Taki was arrested on charges of cocaine use and possession
committed to Judgment's 25th June 2019 release date on these shores
despite having to change the game last minute
Here's the statement from Sega and its Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio:
the character model and Japanese voice for the character of Kyohei Hamura will be adjusted for the Western release of Judgment
Screenshots and trailers featuring Hamura have been temporarily removed from all of SEGA's official channels
Updated versions of these materials will be made available at a later date."

I recently helped a friend move from the middle of the metropolis to Hamura
And right outside my bedroom window are bushy green leaves and branches

People whose livelihoods are teleworkable have suddenly found themselves with options
I explored the area and along the Tamagawa river came to a statue of the Tamagawa brothers
I noticed that the river and the brothers are both named Tamagawa
The brothers were responsible for building a 43-kilometer freshwater canal from Hamura to Yotsuya to ease a water shortage in the Edo Period (1603-1867)
Upon successful completion of the task in a Speedy Gonzales 14 months
their reward was the last name “Tamagawa” given to them by the authorities
Five ways to write Tama seem to be used haphazardly: Tama (brothers and canal)

I had the same question when I saw the sign
It was a well dug during the Daido Era (806-810) (betcha didn’t know that)

A team of modders has released a restoration mod for Judgment
this mod restores the original voice and likeness of Kyohei Hamura as portrayed by Pierre Taki
“The purpose of this patch is to restore Kyohei Hamura’s original appearance and Japanese voice to the likeness of the actor that portrayed him in the original
who was replaced because he got arrested for possession and use of cocaine.”
This is a port of the mod originally made for the PS4 version, remade to work with the remastered PC version. You can download it from here
Speaking of mods for Judgement, the DLSS Mod is still unusable after its recent update which added support for FSR 2.1
I really don’t feel the need to replace it with DLSS
FSR 2.1 does a wonderful job and looks as good as DLSS (at least in this game)

The city of Hamura in Tokyo protested to the U.S
military and the Japanese government Wednesday over the dropping of a U.S
Air Force parachute on the grounds of a school during a drill the previous day
"It could have been a life-threatening incident" and was extremely regrettable
Hamura Mayor Shin Namiki said in letters handed to the U.S
military and the Japanese Defense Ministry by city officials
He also sent a letter of protest to the Foreign Ministry
military has told the Japanese government it will suspend parachute drills until the cause of the incident is known
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga later said in a news conference
it rekindled safety concerns among local residents who are already uneasy about the recently announced deployment of accident-prone Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft at Yokota Air Base near the school
The mayor said in the letters that such an accident "cannot be tolerated" from the perspective of securing citizens' safety and demanded the U.S
military stop descent training and implement thorough safety measures
(Parachute found on school grounds in Tokyo
Students found the parachute on tennis courts on the premises of the city-run junior high school Tuesday afternoon
including a metal-framed window falling from a CH-53E transport helicopter onto the playground of an elementary school adjacent to U.S

recorded a strange account in Japan’s old Higo Province on Kyūshū island
A local government official had spotted a curious creature in the water one evening: a scaly
three-legged figure with long hair and a beak
it had warned him of a forthcoming illness and instructed him to draw and distribute its image for protection
so did tales of this mysterious half-merperson
Known as Amabie, this yōkai
has become associated with refuge from epidemics
that it has resurfaced during the global COVID-19 pandemic
Illustrations of Amabie are circulating on Twitter and Instagram under the hashtags #amabie and #アマビエ; artists around the world are drawing and sharing Amabie in hopes of repelling disease
or at the very least honing their talents and finding community while social distancing
“I drew this Amabie with the intention to remind others to stay calm and never lose hope at times when we feel like giving up,” Ceruzen Lee
an artist from the Philippines who recently drew a cotton candy-pink Amabie with blue hair
“It was truly inspiring to find out that many other artists still remain optimistic despite the events in our world today.”
Scholars believe that Amabie is a local variation of Amabiko
a similar Japanese creature that appears from the sea and prophesies good harvests and outbreaks of disease
it is sometimes said that the image itself can ward off the epidemic,” says Jack Stoneman
a professor of Asian and Near Eastern Languages at Brigham Young University
“This is not unusual in Japanese cultural history—images as talismans.”
Illustrator Kaori Hamura Long
who lives in Fukuoka city on Kyūshū
Unable to get tested for COVID-19 due to Japan’s limited testing capacity
she decided to stay at home and draw Amabie
a glamorous figure with flowing white hair and sparkling eyes
Amabie wears a mask; a second rendition shows the yōkai unadorned
“I shared this image of Amabie hoping that the virus will die down and people all over the world will unite to fight the disease instead of finger-pointing each other,” Hamura Long writes in an email
Japan reported its first positive test for the new coronavirus on February 20
an artist who has written extensively on yōkai
the Amabie-drawing trend picked up steam in the first week of March
when Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzō Abe called for schools nationwide to close
The country now has over 1,100 confirmed cases
and has postponed the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo by one year
Amabie is just one of many yōkai believed to wander Japan and ward off evil
Originally disseminated through woodblock prints
this class of supernatural beings—such as Hakutaku
and Kotobuki—flourished in the Japanese popular imagination in the second half of the 19th century
“These yōkai appeared during the period when Japan’s isolationist policy was forcefully ended by U.S
“While the increase in trade brought lots of ideas and inventions to Japan
The popularity of these yōkai was in response to the sudden and frequent epidemics that repeatedly struck Japan in the latter half of the 19th century
These contemporary Amabie artworks seem to be born of the same impulse—to offer hope and relief in a moment of collective uncertainty

Sega has announced it will remove the character model and voice lines provided by actor Pierre Taki in Judgement for the western release
The character model and Japanese voice for Kyohei Hamura will be adjusted for the western release of Judgment
The company is also scrubbing all references to the actor who played him from press materials
In a notice posted on Twitter
Sega said all screenshots and trailers featuring the character Hamura have been temporarily removed from all of official channels
Updated versions of the materials will be made available at a later date
It was assured Judgment would not miss its June 25 release date despite the extra work to remove the in-game assets
Earlier this month, the actor who played Hamura, Pierre Taki, was arrested in Japan for cocaine use
the police pulled the actor over and searched his car
a urine test confirmed the substance was in his system
Japan heavily frowns upon drug use in the country
and the arrest has resulted in severe repercussions for Taki's career
Not only will he be scrubbed from Judgement, but he will not be brought back as Olaf in Disney's upcoming Frozen sequel. Taki lent his voice to the snowman in the Japanese version of the film and Kingdom Hearts 3
Square Enix announced it would release a patch for Kingdom Hearts 3 in Japan
Judgment was first revealed at TGS last year as Project Judge, and is in development for PlayStation 4

Opinion | Judgment's chief recurring thorn-in-the-side is annoyingly appealing
Being a leader while your yakuza family ship is sinking isn't easy
The more you uncover the interweaving and frequently horrific events at the core of Judgment
the more it becomes clear that our obnoxious
trash-talking family captain is in way over his head and doing his questionable best in the only ways he knows: violently.
The whole first chapter of Judgment pretty much centres on having to defend this guy in court on a charge of murder
That's difficult not only because he looks as guilty as sin but because he's such a jerk it's hard not to want him to go down for it
his bizarrely powerful rough-around-the-edges charisma and intriguing role in all the mysteries at play make him one of the most interesting characters in the game.

He also undoubtedly has some important answers so we can't just let him die after fighting to keep him out of jail
Hamura serves as an excellent foil to both protagonist Yagami and his gentle giant ex-yakuza assistant Kaito
He's just as strong in his convictions as they are
butting heads with the Yagami Detective Agency throughout the whole journey
It's hard not to hate him – by design
we see Hamura is trying to shoulder the burden for the family and for his patriarch as much as possible
Where it seems like he was trying to usurp Matsugane
we also see he was trying to defend him and the rest of the family in a world where you have to play dirty to survive
After spending so many hours alternately fighting with him and protecting him
when his story finally concludes as the conspiracy core to the game spirals out of control

and the state of the worldwide release was in limbo
Soon after the controversy hit, it was confirmed that Judgment would be made available again in Japan in the future and still hit its intended Western launch date of June 25
the new character model for Hamura has been revealed
Sega has confirmed that it's using an original character model as opposed to another actor's likeness--you can see a comparison between the two models in the image below

you can watch Hamura's introductory cutscene in Judgment featuring the character's new look; however
the clip has English voice acting which remains unchanged
Sega stated that it's in the process of recording the new Japanese voice work and will be shown in the near future
but it's not ready to say who the actor is yet
There is also currently no word on when the game will go back on sale in Japan
The worldwide release of Judgment will feature dual audio with English and Japanese voiceovers and EFIGS (English
which is a first for a game in the Yakuza universe
Japan has very strict drug laws with severe consequences
especially as it relates to one's public image
Not only was Taki removed from Judgment by Sega
and social media via official channels were deleted
Sales of Disney's Frozen were also halted since he plays the jolly snowman Olaf in the Japanese dub
Disney is looking for a replacement to voice Olaf in the Japanese release of Frozen 2 as well
Earlier this year, I got hands-on with Judgment and came away impressed with its narrative-focused action-adventure crime drama
While the game takes place in the same world as the Yakuza series (even using Kamurocho as the central location)
Judgment flips the script by having you play as a private detective named Takayuki Yagami
You'll investigate the on-going turf war between the Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance and a deeper mystery about a series of murders that hit close to home

see,” says Hamura Saimin president Lori Tanigawa
the Kauai landmark housed in a converted Army barracks painted a distinct periwinkle has been serving what many say is the best saimin in the Islands
is a local-style soup dish that uses curly egg noodles
green onions and char siu (sweet roasted pork)
Its origin traces back to the plantation era
when immigrant workers cooked these noodles with whatever they had on hand
It’s been a popular Hawaii comfort food ever since
People stop in daily from around the island
state and world to sample Hamura Saimin’s version
luncheon meat and fresh noodles—still made daily at the family’s home-run-factory on nearby Ilima Street
tangy grilled teri-beef and chicken sticks and a slice of homemade lilikoi (passion fruit) chiffon pie
the stand’s much-loved saimin menu has kept Hamura a favorite of foodies and the plain ol’ hungry for decades
a 64-year-old Kauai resident who’s been a regular at Hamura for 15 years
“This place has wonderful … wonderful … saimin.”
there were only six wooden stools surrounding a cook who made the saimin to order
The dining area has expanded over the years
now accommodating about 35 people (or as many stools as the stand has that day)
shave ice and the now wildly popular lilikoi chiffon pie
The stand sells about 50 of the pies every day
clunky cash registers for high-tech ones that connect to the Internet
of which the stand sells more than 1,500 bowls a month
Tanigawa began adding scallops to the base of the broth — which already has shrimp
pork and chicken — to give it more intense flavor and depth
She says people’s tastes have changed over the years
with more visitors hearing about the little family saimin stand through travel books and online reviews
Some want healthier options; others want dessert
But one thing remains on everyone’s “must-try” list when they arrive at Hamura and manage to snag a sometimes difficult-to-find seat: the saimin
“People say they have other reasons for coming,” Tanigawa says

“The nostalgia this place offers as ambiance—and pretty much everything on the menu here—is good … You have to come here,” Roberts says

In March, Judgment actor Pierre Taki, was arrested in Japan and tested positive for cocaine use. Sega stopped all future sales of the game in the country and announced the character model and Japanese voice would be adjusted for the western release
Judgment was released for PS4 in Japan back in December 2018
and will be available in Europe and the Americas June 25

voice and likeness for the character Kyohei Hamura in Sega’s Judgment
was a very naughty boy and was found with some Columbian Marching Powder on his person
He admitted to having the odd sniff and was arrested because drugs are bad
Sega responded by halting sales of the game and started work on replacing Taki with a new character model and a new voice
simultaneously Disney were patching Taki out Kingdom Hearts 3 where he plays Frozen
Sega have now finished their work which means Judgement is still on track to release here on June 25th

After a brief segue courtesy of Black Zetsu (who informs us that the real story of Kaguya is about to begin)
we rejoin the Rabbit Goddess and her sons in Flashback Land
Following the events of the previous episode
Kaguya has essentially become the ruler of a rather sparsely-populated planet
she realizes they serve an important purpose—namely
providing the Divine Tree with sustenance—which prevents her from getting rid of them altogether
who have been expressly forbidden from approaching the Divine Tree
have grown suspicious of the secretive rituals their mother performs to keep it alive
After some clumsy sleuthing and a conversation with a young Gamamaru (a.k.a
the boys discover what the audience knew all along: their mother is feeding humans to the tree
which is gradually draining the planet's natural energy
Kaguya's sons hold them in greater affection than their mother
Realizing that their mother needs to be stopped
Hagoromo and Hamura study Sage Jutsu under Gamamaru to prepare themselves for the battle ahead
the ever-perceptive Kaguya soon discovers what her brood is up to and confronts Hamura
ending the episode on a low-key cliffhanger
Since we're essentially introduced to Hagoromo and Hamura after they've grown up
we're never given a chance to see them develop a rapport with their mother
it would have been interesting to see the largely emotionless Kaguya raise the children for whom she sacrificed so much
we're clearly supposed to believe that she cares for these boys
but we're shown very little to support this
Maybe crafting a story in which the stoic Rabbit Goddess let her guard down was too lofty a challenge for the show's screenwriters
but I'm already getting tired of this arc's propensity for telling instead of showing
Another instance of this can be found in Hagoromo's relationship with Haori
Kaguya sacrificing this woman to the Divine Tree prominently factored into Hagoromo's decision to turn on his own mother
but we were barely given any indication that he harbored romantic feelings for the woman
this was handled worse than Kaguya's relationship with Tenji
At least those two had a few extended interactions
it's odd that these elements aren't focused on at all
even when they're supposed to play an integral role in the proceedings
There isn't much in the way of action this week
which might actually be a good thing in light of the episode's lackluster animation and visuals
There are also several attempts at comedy that all crash and burn
episode 461 provides some fascinating (albeit poorly structured) insight into the Otsutsuki family
The seeds have been planted for an epic battle between mother and sons
the staff has done a poor job of making us feel anything for this arc's key players

PC Mod For Judgement Restores Original Hamura Actor
By Lewis Larcombe|September 26, 2022|
There’s a mod for the Yakuza spin-off game Judgement that restores the original actor for Captain Hamura after he was removed following drug charges in Japan
With the surprising arrival of Judgement along with its sequel
Lost Judgement on PC has allowed a variety of mods to be developed
The news of a Judgment actor change at the time of the game’s release was rather dramatic
the original Japanese voice actor and likeness for Kyohei Hamura—one Judgement’s most prominent characters—was pulled entirely from the game in dramatic fashion after admitting to cocaine use
drug use carries a heavy negative stigma in comparison to other countries like the United States
such cases lead to people being wiped from even previous performances
Taki’s arrest led to sales of Judgment being halted by SEGA shortly after the game’s initial release
and the actor was recast alongside the replacement of several of Taki’s other roles including his voice work as Olaf in the Japanese release of Disney’s Frozen
Taki’s likeness and voice work were replaced with that of Miou Tanaka who does a phenomenal job in the role given the short timeframe with which he had to work with
fans of the series who might be looking to replay the game following its release on PC may be interested to see the original performance
which was previously only accessible through initial copies bought in Japan at release prior to it being pulled from shelves
SEGA previously said they had “no plans to bring Judgment to PC” which was reported to be connected to concerns about the likeness of its star Takuya Kimura
a former member of best-selling J-pop boyband SMAP
It appears that SEGA was able to overcome any concerns that might have been raised and bring the pair of games to PC players
but it certainly didn’t take long for mods to begin springing up
If you’re interested in seeing Pierre Taki’s performance in Judgment for yourself, you can check out the Pierre Taki restoration patch on Nexus Mods

"Naruto Shippuden" episode 460 explored the origins of Kaguya Otsutsuki and how she was betrayed
forcing her to devour a fruit from the God Tree and become the first person with powerful chakra
Episode 461 will now continue the story and explore the rebellion of her twin children
It is also shown in the preview trailer for the episode that Kaguya did not became insane and malevolent all at once. There is a clip revealing she intended on using the chakra from the Divine Fruit to help mankind, despite being betrayed, but when she gave birth to twins and discovered they inherited her power she was driven mad and angry.
The report points out that the episode will focus primarily on Hagoromo's story and how Kaguya was defeated, given that Kaguya's origins have already been revealed in episode 460. Episode 462 is titled "The Constructed Past" and will continue the story by focusing on how Zetsu manipulated history and altered the tablets created by Hagoromo.
From there the series will focus on how Black Zetsu eventually absorbed White Zetsu and how they, as one entity, altered the tablets in order to manipulate Clan Uchiha and eventually free Kaguya and bring her back in her full power as the Ten-Tails monster.
Given how faithful the anime series is to the manga, despite the addition of multiple filler arcs, it is speculated that the anime will feature the same backstory and sequence of events, with very few changes in order to allow episode 461 to tell the whole story in the span of a single episode.
"Naruto Shippuden" episode 461 airs this May 19.

The mighty Ten-Tails, one of Naruto’s biggest threats, is making a comeback in Boruto’s world
This beast not only devastated the Shinobi Alliance
but it also proved to be the most destructive and powerful Bijuu of them all
While we do not know much about the new Ten-tails army that just appeared on Boruto
we do know quite a lot about the original Juubi
Only a few characters in the Naruto series have the power to defeat this mighty beast, while others would not even come close to facing it before succumbing to death. Continue reading to find out about five Naruto characters who could defeat the Ten-tails and five who would perish trying

One of the advantages of being revived using the Edo Tensei technique is the immortality that comes with it
Madara was quite literally unkillable before he truly revived himself during the Fourth Great Shinobi War
A being with Madara's power and abilities who is also immortal is extremely difficult to fight against
Not only did Madara have access to the perfect Susanoo
he was also aided by the power of the Rinnegan
but there is no doubt that a ninja as skilled as Madara will eventually defeat the Ten-tails
Although Hagoromo is the most famous of the two people who defeated Kaguya, without Hamura, this would not have been possible. Hamura was Hagoromo’s twin brother
as well as the guardian of the Gedo Statue that resided on the Moon
He was an amazing fighter who had the skills necessary to push his brother to the limits
Not only that, but he was also the progenitor of the Byakugan, one of the most powerful Dojutsu in all of Naruto
Hamura has never stopped growing stronger since defeating his mother with Hagoromo's assistance
which means he will most likely be able to stop the beast on his own this time
With just one Sharingan, Kakashi was already famous for his fighting prowess and amazing skills
After taking Obito’s second Sharingan for himself
He was able to access a perfect Susanoo as well as use Kamui much more effectively than before
Thanks to these previously mentioned abilities, fighting the Ten-tails would be easier for Kakashi than most other ninjas
he could simply avoid all the beat’s attacks while using his Chidori to destroy the monster from inside
he could also teleport the beast itself away from there
The Uchiha is a clan with the power to tame almost any kind of Bijuu using their powerful Dojutsu
While the Sharingan cannot work on a being as powerful as the Juubi
there is no doubt that Sasuke's Rinnesharingan can
We saw how Madara was able to control the beast using only the Rinnegan
which means the Rinnesharingan is also capable of this
If the beast somehow breaks from Sasuke’s control
the Uchiha still has many techniques to destroy it
He could use the Rinnesharingan's ability to encase the creature inside a human-made moon like Hagoromo did in the past
he still has the most powerful Susanoo of all to keep him safe
The nine Bijuu we met in the series were created by splitting Chakra from Ten-tails
the Bijuu should be enough to take the beast down
The Sage of Six Paths mode of Naruto concentrates the power of the nine tail beasts into one person
granting him the ability to defeat the monster
In this form, Naruto has access to the Bijuu Rasen Shuriken, a technique capable of destroying entire mountains in seconds. He also has the capability of accessing Kurama’s power completely
which only increases the power of his Jutsus
Naruto could use his Truth Seeking Orbs until the beast was weak enough for him to definitely take it down with a Bijuudama
The Akatsuki were known around the world as the most powerful and dangerous rouge ninjas
Each of them had a particular power that made fighting against them almost impossible for regular Shinobi
With his clay creatures and devastating explosions
Deidara is without a doubt a menacing enemy
they would not even dent the Juubi’s strong skin
Not even his most powerful Jutsu would damage the beast enough for it to not regenerate itself
as it has taken attacks exponentially more powerful than Deidara's and kept going as if nothing had happened
you would expect Toneri to be extremely powerful and skilled
he was a bit of a letdown as a villain because of his lack of fighting skills and relatively weak abilities
who took the combined efforts of all Team 7 to defeat
It appears unlikely that Toneri will ever be able to defeat the imposing Ten-tails on his own
Nature Energy is one of the most powerful abilities a Shinobi can have access to
This technique allows the user to obtain power beyond their imagination
Jugo in Naruto has the ability to absorb Nature Energy without gaining an infinite amount of power as a result of his clan's Kekkei Genkai
Jugo becomes a rampaging monster who wants to kill and destroy anyone who dares oppose him
his power pales in comparison to the Ten-tails'
Just one swipe from the Juubi would be enough to leave Jugo out of commission for a long time
The Fourth Great Ninja War was an event filled with death and tragedy
many brave warriors died in the hope of stopping Madara and saving their loved ones
one of the most prominent geniuses of Konoha
Neji had no trouble protecting himself and others from the beast during the beginning of the conflict
until he had no other option than to use his body to save Naruto and Hinata
Neji may have been a noble and powerful Shinobi
but he was unable to fight against such a terrifying creature
Wood Release is the best technique to calm tailed beasts down in Naruto’s universe
Hashirama was able to tame the Kyuubi during Madara’s assault against Konoha
Being one of the few successful experiments of Orochimaru
Yamato is able to use this powerful Kinjutsu much more effectively than others
as proficient as Yamato is with the technique
Yamato would have no chance of beating the Ten-tails alone
The Ten-tails will always be one of the most memorable beings in Naruto’s universe
This mighty beast was the cause of many deaths
Being a creature entirely made of Chakra means that no matter how powerful a ninja is
they will never be able to defeat it unless they have access to the most broken skills in the series
so he is creating a small army of Juubis inside Boruto’s manga right now
Most of the characters who could defeat the beast are now unable to fight against it on their own
The next generation will have to come up with a way to destroy these monsters on their own
