It's really unclear whether Sarada dodged the attack using her speed or if she used an earth style jutsu. What y'all think?

Discuss.

I can't discuss much the facts are as clear as day. Sarada used an Earth style wall with epic speed. Demonstrating knowledge in another element and being able to tank a superior element with an inferior one. This is a sign of Sarada's greatness.

From the angle the bolts are pretty much about to hit Sarada next frame they hit and hit a wall. Some would say rock I say wall otherwise they would've shown change in motion and direction which they didn't. Instead all we see is a strike if she uses a wall again then it'll be confirmed for definite. For now it's likely a wall with the small possibility of a rock.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

If she hid behind that rock indeed, then she got some crazy speed because the lighting was like one step away from hitting her.

Yeah, I can't either. It's too unclear, both things could've happened.

Damn outsourced studio and their cheap ass animation.

Yeah, I agree with you. But that scene still is confusing af.

Lmao.

Well on the bright side we should see Team Konohamaru go out next fight.

I'm expecting:

Sarada to activate 2T via Konohamaru's 'death' aka not dead but looks dead.
Boruto's seal to activate last second if Ao is still pressuring them

I want to say Mitsuki is going to use Sage Mode, but everyone and their mom knows if he pulls that out, Ao is dead. So that won't give Boruto/Sarada any reason to fight.

High key hyped. The only sad part is Konohamaru didn't get to show his stuff

Occam's Razor. The answer with the fewest assumptions tends to be the right one. If we go Doton we have to assume Sarada has learned Earth Release off-screen (despite never once even hinting at its use anywhere else before or after this scene) and that she mastered it enough to counter a specialized Raiton user's lightning, plus her having extremely hand seal speed to counter it. If we go speed, its just her being extremely fast.

Therefore I say speed.

I agree that sounds more crazy, but the actual animation makes it completely look like the lightning hit a wall that was not previously there.

I agree it is crazy to think she would have earth style, and could use it like that, but animation-wise, nothing hints she dodged and hid behind a wall, and something DOES hint that the lightning hit a wall that was not previously visible.

Maybe genjutsu? probably not, but the alternatives are just as crazy honestly. I can't really see her dodging that electricity at point blank range so fast we don't even see her, and i can't see her activating a earth jutsu, especially at that speed, but one of these things HAD to have happened.

Impossible.

The lightning did not change course at all. if she dodged it and THEN hid behind a rock, why did the rock break and fall? It doesn't make any sense, no matter what happened. How could she use earth style? how could she move that fast?

Maybe... substitution? with a rock pillar?

I think it was Earth Style, if she moved to hide behind a rock, the lightning wouldn't have hit it because she was exposed to the attack in the first place. IMO

Buntan thought she hit her if I remember correctly, the rock is also her height almost exactly. I think she made it.

You don't need the element to use low level doton. The whole dang SA used basic Doton in the war..

So you are telling me in a split second she had enough time to switch places with a pillar that was a distance away and then she decided to stand right behind it after. It seems like she summoned something in front of her to block it. If it is a low level earth jutsu it is quite a useful jutsu if you think about it. i mean if Hinata or Neji could have used this they have blocked the splinters without having to use their bodies.

Switching places? I thought only Amenotejikara could do that.

Substitution jutsu is literally switching places in high speed. IDK if the piller was there or not, but SP logic is retarded.
