Kishimoto considers it speed, so we should too. A, the third fastest in the manga said Minato was the fastest. Let's not argue about something Kishi has stated.

it is said by A (raikage)that minato is the fastest ever. It is true that he allways uses FTG however when he ran away with naruto when kushina just gave birth he did not use FTG

He only uses FTG because it is faster

...sigh...


this thread goes down like this.

OP:
-"Minato isn't the fastest cause he only teleports."

posters:
"Minato is the fastest because 1. The author says so. 2. legitimate reasons by his means of travel."

OP:
-"no, he only teleports, hes not fast."

give a damn valid reason to why "teleporting" isn't a method of transportation.

Transportation which is directly affected by the term "speed" speed which is co-dependent to the term "instantaneous movement"
instantaneous movement which is a synonym to the term "teleportation".

so if we read this in reverse.

teleportation = instantaneous movement - speed - transportation.

bam. another logic.

op is gunna be..

"nuh-uh he's still not fast cause he only teleports."

Wow your a dumbass!! If You throw a baseball extremely fast, does that mean it teleported? Your argument is stupid, and I'm not saying he's not fast at all, I'm saying he's not the FASTEST. If you read the thread you'd know this you fricken idiot.

Why not? Kishi stated that tobi was madara, but what happened? it's ok to question it because sometimes he tries to deceive us purposely.

Not necessarily! "Fast" indicates getting from point 'a' to point 'b' in a relatively short period of time. Has nothing to do with motion through space. Why does everyone try to sound like friggin physicists in this tread?
i'd like you to make this argument with Galilieo.

Yes, Minato travels with the speed of light, so he is pretty fast.

And don't say it's "due to a jutsu" every ****ing shinobi that is fast, uses something to amplify their movement, being it a jutsu or chakra, same same, so Minato is the fastest, learn to deal with it...
Deal with it? I'm not protesting jesus I'm asking a question! Then how do you explain Lee without his weights? What's that jutsu called again?

Okay here's how it is. A's lightning clad armor doesn't make him physically faster, all it does is increases the synapses in nervous system (increaees his reaction time and reflexes) He compared his reaction time to that of Minato.

If Minato can follow his moves don't you think he can match it? Minato can move at lightning speeds but if you have a jutsu that can make you teleport wouldn't you use it? Minato is one of the fastest people in Naruto history followed by his son.

Thanks for this, a good argument. However I'm getting pissed about stupid people saying he's fast deal with it!

Minato could still be considered the fastest.

If you take away FTG from him, then you have to take away Lightning armor from A, BM mode from Naruto, Gates from Lee and Guy.

FTG is considered speed so he's the fastest shinobi alive. You can't change the fact that he is, even if he uses S/T. In base I agree he isn't the fastest, but as of now, he is still faster than A and Naruto, even if it's S/T, it's part of his feats.

Last time I say this, Lee and presumabley guy are naturally fast without the gates. Which is why I think one of them is the fastest without ninjutsu enhancement. Hey ask Gaara how fast lee is?

Okay yes. I am concerned of the technicalities of the definition. I'm not going to blame Kishi because I would get confused sometimes when writing a 600 chapter -and-counting manga. But what pisses my off is fanboys like you are like "MINATO FTG FTW LOOLLZZZ FASTEST IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!" So go ahead big guy. Explain the technicalities of the definition of speed. Pure Physical speed.

And you are just a little hater looking for technichalities to bash fanboys with. The definition of being fast is to move from a to b quickly. Not by doing it using your body to move. If I fly up 2k meter in the air and jump down falling I wouldnt use my body at all to move so you would say I would be standing still and not be moving fast?

A person inside a formula 1 car is not moving fast because it's the car that's moving him, but that's not going fast then? Minato is the fastest shinobi since he can move from a-b quickest because of FTG. strip him of that and he would be considered slower than many others. But he DID have FTG therefor he was the fastest. Incrediby stupid thread.

Your 1st example is wrong. your body is falling down. and your second example is almost identical to this arguement. Minato being the driver and ftg being the car. I'm saying without the car (FTG) he's not fast. And illogical fanboys who hastily make statements like "he's the fastest" or "he's the strongest" without reasoning deserved to get bashed. That is rediculous.

And I am saying you are trying to make your arguments work by changing facts. Fact is that he has FTG. Fact is that the definition of moving faster then everyone else is reaching your destination quicker then anyone else could, wich Minato can. As so many others have already stated strip away other shinobis abilities and they are also slow. It's like saying Gaara is the weakest kage because he uses sand. If he didn't have his sand he is just shit.

his speed in saving baby naruto and also in whisking kushina off from under the kyuubi to the top of a tree far away (doubt he'd put a marker there so it must be base speed) show that his mastery of shunshin is greater than any we've seen in base. plus his reactions are definitely the best in naruto. the only ones faster are Ay and his dad, Bee and Naruto- in their respective modes. perhaps shishui and hanzo could have given him a run for his money too as they were touted to be really amazing with body flicker as well.
