Minato's ''Speed''

[Tobby17]

First off, this thread is not downplay Minato's speed at all. If you include FTG then Minato is obviously the fastest character in Naruto. However there's been some people who try to imply that Minato without FTG is as fast as characters like third Raikage, or BM Naruto and current Obito. Which is NOT true at all, and people like bringing up these scans as ''proof'' of their argument

However these scans are not true proof of Minato's actual base speed. What Minato did there can actually done by a lot of people. It's actually a justu ''shunshin no justu''. The same thing can be done by Hanzo, where it seems like they move almost instantly, but that doesn't proof their actual base speed.

Kurenai, Genma, Kakashi, and Gai did something similar to it back in part 1

So yeah, while Minato might be fast, he doesn't have exceptional base speed like most people try to make him out to, every single character in Naruto can use this justu, they simply gather enough chakra and move in one leap, making it seem like it's instant.

Like I said, I'm not trying to downplay Minato's speed, but his speed is not comparable to characters like BM Naruto, Raikage etc. However with FTG he can keep up with them just fine (maybe apart from current Obito), but without it they far outclass him in raw speed (apart from Edo BM Minato ofcourse)

Obito wasn't even alarmed. Minato without Hiraishin isn't that fast.

Shunshin and Hiraishin are two different things

Its Like Teleportation and Space time travel

This, AND you forgot that using shunsin is just like smokes spreads around while hiraishin do not, so yeah its two different things.

i agree minato isnt as fast as people make out however u cant deny that his shunshin was also shown to be better than most..

well we can initialise by saying that the fastest any character can move without using space time jutsu like ftg , or , kamui is when they use shun shinno jutsu

yes u r true almost any character can use shun shinno jutsu and ur explanation of it seems highly accurate

but where a shun shinno jutsu diffrs is probably the efficiency with which it is used because otherwise why would tobirama say that minato's shun shin jutsu is better than his ( it sounded like tobirama was the fastest before and since minato proved to be faster tobirama acknowledged)

if one wants to negate the shun shinno jutsu to characterise base speed then probably we would have to line em up for a 100 meter dash or since in their case it's ninja rite> so how bout like a 1km sprint , this way they it will be a speed test rather than a stamina test ( for humans)

Actually the one who made this thread should know that if you watch the episode again you can see his shadow while Obito tried to stab naruto at the moment then u can see his sign of speed so it does makes sense that he didn't used single shunsin or hiraishin, also his normal speed.

 

[UchihaNagashi]

Obito wasn't even alarmed. Minato without Hiraishin isn't that fast.

*Correction*

''Minato without Hiraishin is pretty slow''

Lel a thread about the speed of the fastest person.

 

[SoundBar]

He may not be as fast, but that doesn't matter when his shun shin is praised as one of the fastest, and no one in Narutobase has foot races so this thread is kind of pointless. In a battle, speed is not the only factor: reflexes, shunshin, as well as base speed come in to play, and Minato excels in all of those categories.

So your saying that Minato's base speed without the use of special abilities is not fast, unlike Raikage's Ration no Yoroi or Body flicker or Naruto BCM both of which do not rely on a special abilities? Hey, wait a second...

I already said he could react to them with FTG

But both Naruto and the Raikage can use the body flicker too.. Even though they use ''special abilities'', it's still raw speed and not a ''justu''

Well everyone thought Minato was the child of prophecy and bla bla bla. I don't see how all these scans prove that he has the same raw speed as third Raikage, BM Naruto, Current Obito, or say 7 gates Gai etc

Oh and KCM Naruto and Sasuke weren't running at full speed either, they were both trying to sync their attack even as they were running. So obv not full speed, and Minato was known for his FTG, so ofcourse he was faster than the rest, nothing is faster than instant. And yeah he's faster than Tobirama

Besides BM Naruto and current Obito, none of the people you mentioned have shown a comparable raw speed to Minato. I would like to see your scans if you want to prove otherwise

And no, he was known for his shunshin as well, reason why Obito called him "yellow flash" by observing his shunshin, not Hiraishin

Whether Naruto and Sasuke were running at full speed is besides the point. The point is that they had taken the distance advantage on him who was still talking with Tobirama not even an instant before, but he directly appeared before them with shunshin

Because we don't see lightning on his body, because we don't see him covered by Kyubi shroud doesn't make his shunshin less effective far from it actually

well i feel that ur contradicting what u said initially

if shun shinno jutsu is not to be considered as speed feat ( shun shin uses chakra ) , then how come raikage's armour ( lightning chakra enhancement ) and narutos bm speed ( attained when kyuubi chakra is utilised) are taken as speed feats

and besides as i have said earlier the fastest a character can move is when he uses shun shin or ftg or gates
