Oh it matters a lot when part 1 Kiba is in the same speed tier as Hidan. None of that justifies anything.Lee said w/o his weights he can't match Neji in overall combat. Not in movement speed obviously because Lee is faster than Neji is w/o his weights and always has been. :lol Where did you even get that from? Their dashing being barely a meter apart is irrelevant.
And no. Don't lie about the Manga's events please when you reply to me. Sasuke almost blitzed Deidara twice, and had Deidara stating that Sasuke is too fast for him. Hidan isn't faster than Kakashi nor did he pressure him with speed the entire match or do anything that'd cause Kakashi to believe Hidan was too fast for him. If I'm wrong provide the feats.
DB scores aren't sketchy if you know how to interpret them. Hidan didn't do anything during his fight against Asuma that'd equal their speed. The only reason Asuma even got hit is because of Hidan's scythe, not because Hidan was just as fast or faster. After that Asuma got taken down by the ritual. Nothing at all. Dashing at each other doesn't indicate equal speed.
Hidan may have a Shunshin that is near Kakashi's in speed (1000% baseless so don't bother) but saying DB scores are sketchy doesn't make sense based on what's been shown.
:lol Neji not being far from Naruto's speed is baseless. Naruto charged him from 5-10m and Neji couldn't even complete his rotation before Naruto reached him, and Naruto only dashed at him when he did that. Nothing showed that Neji was matching Naruto's speed. Ever. :lol
Uh, no, you don't. Where are you even getting this from? You don't need to match your opponents dashing speed because you are both dashing towards each other. Nothing in that exchange would imply that one HAD to be as fast as the other. Reacting to their strike is irrelevant. Striking speed is irrelevant as well. We are talking movement speed here. Not striking speed.
That scan shows them clashing twice, and not even in an all out exchange. They dashed past each other twice and clashed. :lol That doesn't prove that they were moving just as fast as each other.
And equal scores don't mean equal statistics. 1-5 is simply a tiering system. That's why everyone who is a 5 isn't equal, and why there are large gaps between people who are only 1 pt behind. Hidan being 3.5 only means he's on the same general tier of reaction speed and movement speed lumped together as Kiba, not that they are the same exact speed.
Which doesn't matter.
Regarding the topic of this thread, then whatever makes Hidan up as a whole, he won't have a problem with Kiba's "speed". So whether you think his speed comes from Taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, fuinjutsu. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
