Itachi's Susano'o's activation speed=Minato's reaction speed

[DigitalMonster]

First of all, this thread's purpose is not to say "Minato's movement speed=Itachi's movement speed", this is saying that "Minato's reaction speed appears to be equal to Itachi's". I will be using Itachi Vs. Sasuke and Minato Vs. A as parallels. Now that we have that out of the way, we can start.

Here we see Itachi was fast enough to react to Kirin(notice how Susano'o isn't activated?):

Here we see Minato was fast enough to react to A:

And don't use a BS argument like "Minato had no warning, and Itachi did". Simply because it's wrong. A was already well-known long before he met Minato, so of course his techniques became famous as well(basically, Minato already knows about A's signature lightning shroud):

Minato also STATES he knows who he is, and that he's fast(you can also see A powering up his shroud in the bottom right panel):

Minato sees A charging up his shroud, so he of course knows what's coming:

Itachi was warned: Sasuke says the jutsu is unavoidable:

These are comparable because Kirin and A move at comparable speeds.

This also means that when Sasuke's mangekyo becomes EMS, he will have Itachi's reaction speed. Which means that while you guys thought Kishi was making Minato out to be a god, he was actually hyping Sasuke, his favorite.

In case you can't tell, the last paragraph is a joke, the rest is serious.

 

[Reborn]

So you're just backing up the claims that Itachi could've went for the kill but didn't because he loved his brother and had BS faith in him?

 

[DigitalMonster]

lol wut?
just in terms of susanoo usage and others as well.
though i hate to admit that sasuke can use amaterasu better than itachi

 

[-Hades-]

Well yea their reaction speed might be the same, but remember that Itachi dis not have the full Susanoo when he survived Kirin.
Also we have seen that Itachi is maybe the fastest when it comes to jutsu and hand selas and stuff like that. So yea he was indeed fast to activate susanoo, considering that it takes a while (even if it is fast) to form Susanoo.

 

[DigitalMonster]

Well yea their reaction speed might be the same, but remember that Itachi dis not have the full Susanoo when he survived Kirin.

from what we've seen,full susanoo(not counting yata mirror) and incomplete one has no difference in defense.

itachi can add time manipulation to tsukuyomi to alter the victims perception of time, saskue's version can't, itachi can't add shape manipulation to amaterasu so their pretty much even.

 

[Kira was Righteous]

right this is a tough one but i would say the susanno activating is as fast as a attack from minato if it was a even start because its a instant shield while minato has to move to his location no matter how fast he is going + please do not say sasuke was better in anything regarding the techniques ama,tsy,sus because he was not. Im sure if we ever see itachi at his best we will see the true power of all of them an example for this is when itachi brought out his susanno basically invincible defeating michael jackson in 1 move but danzo beat sasukes susanno with wind pellets.

itachi can add time manipulation to tsukuyomi to alter the victims perception of time, saskue's version can't, itachi can't add shape manipulation to amaterasu so their pretty much even.

lol wut?he just outclassed itachi in using amaterasu,and they're even?

itachi has better speed,taijutsu,intelligence,hand seals,strength(debatable).

naw thats not what i meant, i mean their even in the sense that saskue is better at using amaterasu and itachi is a genius in tsukuyomi usage.

didn't mean they were equally matched in overall strength

ok so it's ms vs ms?
kinda agree with you

 

[Gin-San]

Well Sasuke said that Kirin is unavoidable as Amaterasu
and the Raikage avoided amaterasu
Not saying that Raikage would escape Kirin (I think he would survive -.-)

The reaction speeds are totally different
For some reason, they just don't feel the same

 

[DigitalMonster]

raikage avoided sasuke's amaterasu.

so you mean to tell me that black fire is as fast than lightning?

 

[DigitalMonster]

amaterasu can be avoided depending on the caster's skill controlling it.
kirin can never be dodged once it's launched.

it's a big difference.

 

[The Parm]

This sounds about right. They both have amazing reflex time.

yes,reflex not movement.
i repped you for that

I agree, with Amaterasu it's not that you are faster than the jutsu itself but that you are faster than what the eye can follow, thus the Amaterasu misses the intended target.
Kirin can't be dodged... or can it? i am pretty sure Minato could dodge it with FTG, i mean if Itachi had time to activate Susanoo, something that happens faster than you blink is faster than that xd

yes thank you. if sasuke compared kirin to amaterasu and raikage dodged amaterasu then minato can dodge amaterasu as well. also, i remember someone saying that raikages armor is the same speed as kirin, this could be true and most likely is. since minato could dodge raikage he can also dodge kirin. bottom line if itachi could activate susanoo in time to survive kirin then minato can dodge kirin as well. it would seem that what everyone is saying means that itachi susanoo activation equals minato's reaction speed and i agree with this

 

[Adan]

frickin love everything you wrote.
REPPED.

 

[Adan]

just one thing, the difference is that Minato doesn't have a Sharingan to help see movements. Itachi had his to see Sasuke's arm moving to bring down Kirin.
