Deidara much slower than minato
I was referring to the "do you know how hard it is to balance with no arms" part. In NV it doesn't work like in real life, Deidara was hopping around with one of his arms freshly torn off and the other missing as well, Minato should be even better than him at that. Or do you imply that Minato can't control his own speed?

After going over the chapter again, it's clear that minato tried to toss the kunai that's why he tripped. Guy tried to toss a kunai with his mouth to s/t barrier the omnyoudon orbs, but he tripped because... well, It's not really easy to fling something very hard out of your mouth(zabuza did it though).

A severely handicapped Minato cannot. It takes a few tries to adjust any loss of limbs this way.

If your body is off balance smallest tasks are difficult. You will need some time before you can learn or manage to regain some of it if such a thing happens to you one day suddenly.

Yep,it's why people who lose a leg have to relearn how to walk because their sense of balance changes.

How was Minato's situation worse than Deidara's again? And yes, I remember being baffled at Deidara's ability to run around like that with no arms, so it got more realistic with Minato.

Also, I'm not trying to bash Minato for tripping "for no reason", I just don't see the point in trying to deduce the exact cause of his fall as well. I don't think it needs an explanation. So what if he fell, we all fall sometimes.

Deidara's tech were different. He was not trying to use FTG. Remember the first time Naruto moved too fast after getting kyuubi mode?

And of course, so what if he fell? I am not the one complaining. :)

Yeah, but Minato is still a lot more experienced than Naruto and Deidara, speed is his signature, er, feature.

It actually looks like he was trying to toss a kunai with his mouth, so I guess he tried to turn his torso quickly and lost his balance. It's not like he tripped from trying to run.

he had some parts of both hands from shoulder down
*arms

Those parts were actually different in length, that should have made balancing even harder. But I've already said that it did baffle me back then (him and his "It's just a flesh wound!" attitude), and Minato's case makes more sense than that.

Yep. Whatever he did - he did instinctively but his reflex actions need a resetting now. I am just surprised he managed to keep the kunai in his mouth even after tripping. All I noticed at first was his head and it was so........... @_@ moment. Butchered was the only word. Madara didn't hit anyone else like that so far has he?

I understand OP characters need to vacate the stage to give others screen time but Nagato and Itachi got better deal. Hell even edo Kakuzu. lol

Yes, but you don't know how it feels to run without arms. And this is not real life. Show me someone who can jump forty meters, fly, make shadow clones, etc. He tripped, and it was horrible. Lol
Just because you have all those powers doesnt mean you still are not human.

Its sorta like saying you can cut off a liveing persons arm in real world and it hurts, and just because someone has super powers in a manga, that if they have pain, it is unreasonable.

Real world logic can apply in mangas, based on how the author chooses.

Now whether or not you think minato tripping was part of real world logic or if it was just poor random writing, is up to you.

The point is that there is a plausible explanation why minato tripped, that uses logical sense. Hinato tripped because she was running around on loose rubble, while trying to look miles away)(a very poor choice)

Aw man, now I'm imagining Minato dropping the kunai and trying to pick it up with his mouth :sweat: Poor guy.
