I know that he was too confident, and that indeed that can become a weakness when it comes to a fight. But as for actual strength in itself it was quite obvious who had the upper hand; one was trying as much as he could - the other was laughing, threw away his sword to play around a little with the oppoent, stood back and called the other person names, etc. To me it's quite obvious that Orochimaru-sama wouldn't have had his arms sealed today if he wasn't as playful as he is ^_^x mmm playful Orochimaru-sama, I like the cling of that sentance ^_^x

Very true, I just wanted to put an example that showed how great he is that had to do with something else than the Sarutobi VS Orochimaru-sama fight.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that Sarutobi would win either, it would just mean Orochimaru-sama would have to drop two of his attitude problems instead of one. Well it might be, it might also be that the difference is enough to tip to Sarutobi's favour; there's really no way we can know.

Of course not, but we're not speaking tall and short humans here, we're discussing something of human size compared to something enormous. Manda also seems to be the most powerful of the three Sannin summons, though of course that doesn't mean he's necessarily stronger than Enma. But the way I figure it, is that if Enma couldn't defeat Orochimaru-sama by simply going down and kicking some butt, Manda should be able to take Enma. Since I don't see Orochimaru-sama winning over Manda, I really don't. Like I said, he isn't a God... yet ;P
