no you don't understand. the kunai that he teleported to was already on the tree while the kunai he lobbed/ threw upwards was so that he could counterattack A. That's insanely fast
Ignore my post.

I now understand.

That gif is so wrong.
He threw the Kunai just as A's fist was about to collide into his face and then .5 seconds later it was on a tree?
I mean, how fast can he throw that Kunai, really?
I smell plot.
Well seems like this guy already replied =D

Actually the Raikage was not young at all at that moment. Current Raikage is a Grandpa according to Naruto, so he was already a matured man at that moment. Just look at Bee. When Bee(who is from Minato's generation) was a kid, Raikage was already an adult. What he used against Minato was his maximal shunshin already. We don't see his head because of his headband protector

Again your asuming. But its a fact their is a proccess he does when going "version 2"

Back then Aye couldnt make his speed grow and keep growing like he could now:

And keep in mind his hair is still down like:

hair is clearly down. Fact of manga no disputing!

This is all out Raikage that naruto dodged!

as you can see, the lightning chakra grows and is more active aswell. That is the difference between Old raikage now and young raikage then.

Yes Minato is fast but their are a few things I'd like to point out:

Your comparison to a bullet is extremely wrong. The Ay is not as fast as a bullet. He is fast but not that fast.

I don't believe that Ay was using his V2 speed at that point. As stated before, when he goes V2 his hair stands on end headband or not. He was much younger at that point and could have learned to harness V2 later.

All in all, yes Minato has very quick reaction speed, probably the highest seen on the manga so far. That with his FTG makes him a top tier shinobi. Don't over exaggerate his speed and reaction time though.

No he had V2 against Minato. He said it himself while facing Naruto even saying he is only (while facing Minato he again said ). The reason we can't see his hair growing up is because of his headband protector that retains it. How can you go against someone's opinion? He said it himself. It's a mangafact

When he fought Sasuke a Rubberband was holding his hair down. When he fought Minato he was at war so he was wearing his shinobi uniform with forehead protector.

he never once said minato was the first. Raikage has faced many opponents btw.

Second; That was then, this is now. he wasnt the same speed back then. But believe what you want to believe. I could care less if minato has fast reaction speed. He still isnt faster than naruto or the raikage.

Agreed completely. Minato was in fact faster than v2, tbh It was clear that Minato was indeed fastest even above Ay's v2 and Naruto's KCM after this scan :

Was this not obvious?

I might make a thread after school about how Madara and Hashirama's reaction times are the best in manga.

Lol after saying that, he said "i see the savior still leaves inside you". Who do you think he was refering to? To Minato obviously. Unless you're biased or blind, it is obvious he was refering to Minato especially since it happens directly after a FB where we see Minato dodging his full speed

Thanks for the back up bro. True Kakashi thought about Minato when he saw Naruto's level of speed implying that Minato was also capable to do something like this and we even had a comparable feat when he blitzed the Kyubi when he was outside the village U_U

you could be right because of the savior comment. But; he isnt foot speed faster than Aye or naruto. But he may have a faster reaction speed then everyone.

I hope you aren't implying that Minato can deflect TBB like Naruto did in BM. Yes Minato is fast, has fast reaction speed, and FTG but he can't do that.

@ Bold- You realize this is OP's point though, right? That's the point of the title bro
OT: Another Minato thread, eh Bogard? People may say you're a fanboy but you always argue with facts and that's why I like you, great thread man.

Overlooked point during that battle of speed:

Raikage used his maximal Shunshin speed to try to blitz and defeat Minato, but look. The guy closed the distance to the point he was already at this position:

But look at this gif:

You must be registered for see images


Like you can see, in that brief moment, Minato had time to throw a kunai above him, teleport to a three and come back on the kunai he threw an instant ago before A even went thru the kunai completely

We talk about someone who is probably as fast as lightning itself who was already near Minato's face, but Minato had time to throw a kunai above him, teleport to a tree and come back on the kunai he just threw before the guy even had time to traverse de kunai completely. Do you realise how insane that feat was?

For example, it's as if someone tries to shoot a bullet at you, but when it's already reaching your face, you have time to throw a pencil above the bullet, teleport somewhere else and come back to the pencil you just threw before the bullet even traversed the pencil, wow

Minato's feat is even more impressive than Naruto's because where Naruto only dodged the attack, Minato even had time to prepare the counter-attack.

Misconception: Minato barely reacted to Raikage's speed

There are some people who misinterpretated this scene in the manga and believe that Minato barely reacted, but like i've proved with my thread, this way of thinking is far from the truth and it's even in fact the contrary. It's the Raikage the one who couldn't handle Minato's speed(Raikage was still on Minato's first position when Minato did 3actions: throw a kunai, teleport away and come back on Raikage).

At that particular moment, Minato's goal wasn't to dodge the attack only, but to dodge it after preparing his counter-attack, reason why he threw a kunai above him. If he had time to throw a kunai above him AND teleport away(so 2 actions) when Raikage was inches away from him, that already shows he could have dodge it long before if he really wanted, but like i've said, it wasn't his goal at all

If Minato was able to do all that in that mere fraction of seconds, it's enough for me to realise that Minato's reaction speed is above that of V2 Raikage

so true. he's just toying with A. I've debated this before and if I was not mistaken it was Owarij that debated me about this (reflex) but whoever remembers that, it was a total shut down..hehehe...too bad I was so kind to give him a day until the moderators closed the thread..:) Peace bro..I was reminded about this thread..no hard feelings....=D
