That Obito take took off surprisingly well, didn't know the Naruto fandom was still that active here. So here's a spicier one than the acknowledgement of Kamui's brokenness.
Kisame could solo any dual MS user, including multiple forms of pre-Ten Tails Madara, and you can't tell me otherwise.
His Water style is so powerful and wide-ranging, he can drown out any Fire technique, he has so much chakra even without the regen via Samehada that he's called a tailless tailed beast, and with Samehada, he can eat ridiculous amounts of chakra almost instantly.
One swing of Samehada ate, what was it, 6 tails? 7 tails? Of chakra from Killer Bee and knocked him from Version 2 back into a Version 1 tailed beast cloak. You could argue that's actually more than just 6 tails worth of chakra too since the Version 2 cloak is so much denser and more potent, but even on its lower possible end, the amount of chakra he can eat up with just one swing and a graze is insane.
So what do you think happens when some cocky Uchiha throws up a Susano'o? A giant chakra mech. Made of chakra. And only chakra. One swing and, while he might not swallow an entire Susano'o if it's in its Perfect State ala Madara or Sasuke, it will 100% tear an opening through which Kisame can either enter himself or fire any manner of jutsu. The perfect defense is no longer a defense at all. In fact, it's a liability. It's an instant recharge and heal for Kisame and a waste of Uchiha chakra.
And even if he somehow loses or is separated Samehada, or you try to make the argument "Madara is so malevelont his chakra would be disgusting and Samehada wouldn't eat it", which is tenuous at best since it's eaten the Kyuubi's no problem, Kisame can still absorb chakra all on his own with his Water Shark Bombs.
We only saw them in action once, and unfortunately, they got no dif'd because he was up against 7th Gate Guy and Guy doesn't use chakra. But for any actual genuine ninjutsu, it would just swallow it up to grow bigger and stronger and harder to counter. It, too, should easily punch holes through a Susano'o as well as swallow up any offensive jutsu shot his way, such as Great Fireballs.
And once he gets into his fused state with Samehada, and the water bubble goes up? Gg, you lose. You still need to breathe while you're inside of a Susano'o. That shit ain't air tight. You're drowning and there's nothing you can do about it. Swing your Perfect Susano'o mountain cleaver all you want, no matter how much water you displace, Kisame can replenish it with his bijuu level chakra reserves. And if he can't, he'll just take some of yours in a drive by and then replenish it.
No matter who you are, with very few exceptions, you just straight up lose versus Kisame Hoshigaki. This guy no dif'd jinchuriki and bijuu better than anyone else in the Akatsuki for a reason. The only ninja who could ever stand up to him was Might Guy for a reason. He has so many ways to take your power for his own, regen, or straight up drown you that you're just doomed right off rip.
Defeating Kisame requires a very special set of powers that 99% of characters in the franchise simply do not have, even in the era of Boruto. Yes, he probably couldn't solo Ten Tails Dual Rinnegan Madara or any Ootsutsuki, but god damn would he put up a fight. More than that, he'd be the ideal team member to eat up any large scale jutsu they throw your way.
It's always baffled me how underrated Kisame is as a fighter. Dude's a fucking menace.
