Madara can grab Kakashi's eye, put it in his own socket, and then proceed to get cut in half by Sasuke all before Kakashi himself could fully turn around(i.e. it was so quick Kakashi's body couldn't even react to the pull faster than it happened).



Madara then is unable to react to an Obito standing in front of him, nor can he hit Sakura who was meters away from him.

Sasuke blitzes Madara in that same scan, and then gets surprised by Sakura moving.

After that Madara ordeal, Kakashi is now able to react faster than Naruto and Sasuke and save himself and Sakura.


These are just two examples of many.

Inconsistency, you'll find this in just about every action shounen manga/anime.

The reason he's surprised that Sakura is moving is because moments ago she was backing away from him. Then suddenly, she's dashing forward with a new technique in tow.

As for Kakashi, his guard was down when Madara attacked and he was facing away from him.


There's a pink device in your skull, get it active.

Really? Was Sasuke even paying attention when she did that?
They should have seen her move and caught up immediately instead of waiting until she actually got there with their speed.

His gaurd has nothing to do with it. He got pulled and before his body could fully turn because of it Madara was already sliced.

Speed is incredibly inconsistent. It seems like everyone is as fast as everyone,except during shining moments.

if you noticed, Sasuke was able to catch up with Madara because the latter had to stop, put the Sharingan in his socket, then use Kamui. One cannot Kamui themselves somewhere like that while in motion.

First this

I disagree a little, i think there has been some consistency.

He stopped for miliseconds. That's kind of the point. He stopped for an instant, before Kakashi's body could fully turn, and then got blitzed withtin that time.

Inconsistency. Kishi makes them move at the speed that exactly serves the plot.

When has Kishi ever gave a shit about consistency in his manga?
