The fact that the mask has to charge it first and the fact that Ino even shouted out a warning and the fact that shikamaru managed to open his scroll. Gaara can easily evade it by simply flying out the way or better yet intervene with the charge time that the raiton mask takes and destroy it.
Not saying it is definitely as fast Kirin, however saying that it can be easily intercepted is false if not even intercepted.
The only sole reason why Kakashi did so was because Raikiri makes a person faster, as I have previously posted and stated in manga. The reason why it was a failure jutsu was because of the immense speed it produces, hence why he needed Sharingan. When Kakashi actually blitzed Kakuzu with Raikiri with no notice, not to mention Zabuza was because of that.
It's nowhere near as fast as Kirin, lets leave it at that.
Look at the scan again [

So, you cannot determine Kakashi had Raikiri already active as it was not shown. Kakashi's speed and precog could of been the answer, but yours is merely assumption.
Orochimaru's great breakthrough repels Gian no problem [

That was when charging. They noticed the electricity being produced, thus automatically shouting a warning.
It doesn't matter if needed to charge if it's on right angle. The fact that Kakashi needed to interfere with Raikiri tells us that without any special speed feats. nor jutsus, the jutsu is almost impossible to intercept. Forming circular sand sandwich to carry up about over 150lb person to intercept lightning bolt → seriously?

What I meant by kakashi being capable of intercepting before the raiton made impact was just me simply saying gaara has the means to evade it, shikamaru and choji didn't because their techniques don't have the quality evasive feats such as gaara's. Gaara was able to react to quick enough to madara creating a forest via mukoton with sand clouds[

] for each of the kage. The raiton mask is easily evaded or destroyed via sand. Simple as that. And mind you the forest the madara made was going pretty damn fast.
Basically, you are comparing the speed of some roots to a lightning bolt? Once again, Kakashi knew what will happen so he was running before the lightning bolt was even fired off. Gaara possesses no predictive capabilities unlike Kakashi. You give me that scan and state that it implies Gaara is fast enough to evade the bolt, however, I could easily state that Gaara's Suna wasn't even fast enough to evade something like Deidara's explosives.

More so, you are ignoring the other Masks. In other words; evading the Raiton attack would only result in him paying attention to the Raiton attack and getting hit by Atsugai from the other side. You keep on saying that Gaara's Suna destroys Kakuzu's hearts easily, however, you don't take Kakuzu's counters into consideration;
-
Even if he does catch the Mask, his only option is to make the Suna envelope the Mask and try to crush it, however, crushing based attacks never were strong against Kakuzu's Masks to begin with. [

You are mistaking Kakuzu for an idiot. He is far more experienced than Gaara and there is no end to the list of tactics, he knows how to use. He has the elemental advantage over Gaara. Any attack that even tries to come near, will immediately be blown away by Atsugai.

Attack that come near any Mask will easily be pierced throught and escaped due to Gian. [

Any sand attack won't be usable once it comes into contact with Zukkoku, allowing Kakuzu to quickly finish this with either one of his other Masks.

Gaara can definetely evade gian, he was able to replace himself with a sand clone in the moment when Lee flinched (Mind you that was most likely his first decent fight and still reacted):

He was able to react to bone forrest which emerged in seconds and surprise from ground in point blank range and made sand clouds for both himself and another person:

Are you seriously on purpose contradicting yourself?
You act like it's the only jutsu, he still has Katon to counter that.
I'm saying, you don't know whether he activated the jutsu when he reached Shikamaru or Chouji, or whether he had it active during the whole time he spent trying to intercept the attack. Your points are moot.
You act like I'm addressing Kakuzu's whole arsenal. Since you're sticking to Gian, I thought I'd counter that. Kakuzu won't fire off a Katon when he's just fired off a Raiton, it would disturb the attack. Not to mention, the Fuuton is merely to counter the Raiton. Orochimaru just shanks all his heart with Kusanagi U_U

No it won't. Raiton and Katon can be used at the same time as Sasuke did previously. Saying that it won't because it disturbs looks like you're afraid of the attack since it can't be countered.
Kusanagi can't pierce Kakuzu, when it failed to pierce previously even Chakura no Mesu.
Smh, Gaara's sand effortlessly tanks that Katon, seeing as it was able to withstand Enton's heat [

]. And Orochimaru's Fuuton deals with the Raiton. I fail to see how such a linear and direct bolt and a widespread Katon can be used in conjunction, but nevertheless, team 1 has counters.
I was talking about his offensive hearts. Domu is a different story.

Gaara's sand < Raiton. Gaara can't crush Kakuzu due to diamond body, not to mention he maybe doesn't need to breathe since he got stabbed multiple times in chest. So sand is irrelevant.
Deidara > Orochimaru, due to C3 and bombing. Orochimaru has shown no sensing feats. although has cells, but Obito has them too. It still means nothing.

I just listed the reasons why they lose. Saying a guy evades someone's attacks for life is ridiculous. Sand has absolutely no effect to Kakuzu. Kakuzu's arsenal would shock Gaara.
And you just sit back saying that is no argument waiting for some more?
