It's NB's typical logic that only certain characters are glorified, the rest are side-lined. I would like to post the Viz Translation for Chee's Statement on Ae's Reflexes (and foot-speed implications):
Viz:
Few things are clear from this statement:
1) Minato's reaction Speed is only on-par with Base Raikage. Mind you a charge attack isn't the same as reflex action.
2) V1 Ae's Reflex action is faster than Base Minato's. The same point applies, as Reflex action isn't the same as charge-at-the-enemy attack. Similarly, Minato's base speed is not above V1 Ae's.
3) The folk (Sasuke, Jugo and Suigetsu) were managing to keep up. Jugo got the raw end of the deal. But Sasuke out-sped Raikage under the same Cloak and produced better reflexes. But what about Suigetsu?
Let's look at some scans:
Suigetsu out-speeding Bee’s speedy downward strike to rescue Sasuke:
Suigetsu reaches Sasuke before Raikage’s fist comes down:
Mind you, Cloaked Bee claimed that his brother under Raiton armour is faster:
Sure, it speaks volumes about Sasuke’s speed, but Suigetsu is no pushover either. Given how he reached fast enough to reach Sasuke and then made it to Raikage before his V1 Shroud charged fist came down, that is canonically faster than Minato’s Reflex action.
Thank you for reading.
