(Proof) Amaterasu is not INSTANT

[Rayder]

Amaterasu is not Instant


In this thread I will be explaining what I mean when I say Amaterasu is not instant. Please read or you won't understand what I mean.

The link between Ametarasu and Line of sight​

It has been shown repeatedly that these Black flames and the way they are targeted relies greatly on the line of sight of the user. This was shown when the Amaterasu was used on A at the Kage Summit . The flames hadn't fully materialized on him but because of his insane speed he was still able to dodge it. And in the next page it shows that Amaterasu hit the next thing in Sasuke's direct line of sight which was the Samurai. This indicates that if anything was to obstruct an MS users vision even if the opponent has already been targeted and locked on with Amaterasu, it would hit the obstructing object or person since it is in his immediate line of sight.

Lookee here ^^^

Another example of this is when Gaara blocked Sasuke's sight with his sand so instead of hitting him the black flames hit his sand.

Amaterasu needs to be fully stabilized before its effects happen which may take as little as a second before it fully stabilizes. Amaterasu may appear instantly but its effects don't so it doesn't start burning instantly but shortly after.

You might say why would it need to "stabilize" but its not the first Mangekyou Sharingan jutsu to do this. This is shown when Madara first activated Perfect Susanoo. Look here:
It just looks like a powerful mass of chakra:

And then after Madara stabilizes it and it takes a more clear form and structure and looks like a samurai. xd

Amaterasu has already partially formed on A but because it hadn't fully stabilized someone with incredible speed like A was able to dodge it so it continued on to the next object in its line of sight, the Samurai.

So what do you think ?
Do you agree that Amaterasu may appear instantly but it takes a second or two to completely form and stabilize in which a fast opponent could exploit.

If it was instant anything Sasuke looks at would be dead.

Hmmm its whatever mehn

 

[UchihaKira]

I disagree. While I agree it doesn't hit the target instantly since it has to travel from point A to point B, it does start that travel instantly when the user wants. The amaterasu you see on A in those pages is not ON him stabilizing it is from Sasukes point of view travelling towards him and he dodges it before it hits him not before it stabilizes on him.

true, but kind of obvious :3 sorry

Yes it does start. But it takes a second to fully form as when it materialized on A it was only partially formed giving the person a very small window to escape it.

Basically. And if it was instant the raikage wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

The techinque is just really fast.

I don't know why, everytime I see a good thread, with proof and all, I am speechless xd.

I agree with you, Danzo ^^. Amaterasu never was instant, just pretty fast.

P.S.: My sig is awesome

 

[SasoriOfTheRedSaand]

Agreed man. Very nice thread.

FTG is what you would call instant. If Amaterasu was instant no one could dodge it.

Thanks.
And yes it is. xd

Amaterasu applies the instant the eye (Sharingan) focuses on a target. The fourth Raikage dodged Amaterasu because his speed was too fast for Sasukes eyes to focus on him.

Sasuke: "Ameterasu!" (looks at Raikage)
Raikage: (dodges with lightning speed) "Look, here i am!"
Sasuke: "Ameterasu!"

 

[UchihaKira]

Everyone is confusing instant with instant hit. Amaterasu IS instant, meaning it starts the travel from user to target instantly. It just doesnt hit them instantly because of the travel that has to be made which also varies on the distance between point A and B

 

[Simple Math]

I agree, not instant but just extremely fast..

He dodged it because he saw it coming and had fast enough reflexes to dodge it. A wasnt moving at all until Sasuke used amaterasu.

 

[NarutoSageUzumaki]

it is fast But it is as fast maybe slightly faster as Fire techniques -


Pretty fast but not that hard to dodge

 

[SilverfoxUchiha]

He dodged it because he saw it coming and had fast enough reflexes to dodge it.

Dodged it, expected it, same thing. Would make sense he would be aware of an oncoming Sharingan attack as Sasuke had just announced "Ameterasu" before performing the attack, and i am sure the Raikage would have known what to expect.

At the same time, i have never seen Ameterasu come out of Sasukes eyes. It has always been where his eyes were targeting. i'd say he was targeting on the Raikage, hence the appearance of the black flame, but in that split second between Sasukes eyes focussing properly on the target and the activation of the Jutsu, thats when the Raikage dodged.
