Because Hidden Mist does not escape in ways like Futton does [ ]. So Hidden Mist=/=Futton.
Okay I see your point. The mist will start leaking out from the area and dissipating because unlike hidden mist, acid mist has a tendency to spread out through osmosis and diffusion. Didn't think of it this way but I do wonder what causes the hidden mist jutsu to violate osmosis and diffusion. Though you must agree that the acid mist will be most potent near the caster of the jutsu and if Mei pumps in more acid mist and doesn't stop like she did against Sasuke, she could keep up the damage on Kimi for some time allowing her to catch Kimi off guard with lava.

Hence real world physics is often disregarded in manga logic. And no, it wouldn't. His eyes would go blind from acid, and he'd be in a shit load of pain from it. Yet no signs of any of that, and no signs of his cornea dissolving (which would be the fastest process since it's made of protein). Clearly, and indubitably no damage to his eyes, unless you can prove otherwise. And that'll be hard with no pain, no damage, no effect on his sight, etc.
In , only Sasuke's one arm is shown melting while everywhere else there are no signs of being melt. Does that mean acid mist can only melt arms and nothing else? Most certainly not. Does acid mist have the tendency to spread out? Yes it does like you posted a scan of it spreading out. So what makes it so hard for you to believe it does damage elsewhere, which includes his eyes. The fact that Sasuke ended up blind after the ordeal much faster than other MS users and the fact that he did suffer from eye pain in the fight with Mei actually doesn't refute the diluted acid mist having an effect on his eyes. There is blood coming from Sasuke's mouth ( ). Unlike Itachi, Sasuke didn't have a sickness where he'd cough up blood.

Yes, which is the first layer of his body (seems to have skin which is composed of bone).
Tsunade, whose also shown regeneration, was still suffering from the effects of damage, causing her fighting style to become sloppier and hence her speed as well ( )( ). The same should happen to Kimimaro regardless of his "regeneration" which is obviously not anywhere near Tsunade's level.

Doesn't matter, she won't be able to do anything if she's put up the mist. She can't see him after he's out of her vision, period. Puts his hands and the bones emerge. She still won't know his location, and she still won't know what's happening beneath the ground, let alone bones occurring.
Well when Mei used her mist against Madara, it was meant to slow down Madara's reaction, allowing Ay and Onoki to blitz him but they could still make out Mu and Madara's positions just fine. Not to mention Kimimaro will still makes sounds such as grunts, groans, etc. much like Sasuke, Sakura, Itachi and Tsunade have done when exposed to acid in the first two cases or fire in the second two cases.

I believe it would melt him pretty easily but he can dodge it pretty easily too. And nah it doesn't matter.
I don't believe he'd be able to dodge it pretty easily under the conditions I've outlined but I hate to repeat myself. There is also the fact that Mei spits out the lava out of her mouth so she can move around her aim. TheEvilOne brings up a good point as well. Spreading yoton around the battlefield hinders Kimimaro's movements as he'll be constantly having to watch his step but doing all this while under the effects of the mist and then having to avoid Mei's lava attacks will prove to be too much for him. I've also outlined speed feats from the lava in my posts to Killua Zoldyk.

I agree, but for now the Mist has some special condition that the Futton does not. But I agree if she uses more chakra for more Futton, it'd last longer. However, its duration won't be capable of hindering Kimimaro's regeneration to the point he can no longer regenerate.

In , only Sasuke's one arm is shown melting while everywhere else there are no signs of being melt. Does that mean acid mist can only melt arms and nothing else? Most certainly not.

There is blood coming from Sasuke's mouth ( ). Unlike Itachi, Sasuke didn't have a sickness where he'd cough up blood.

Pretty sure Sasuke's face was more scratched up than before. As you pointed out as well, his arms and his mouth were bleeding, yet his eyes were not. So I don't see why Futton would affect eyes in this situation either. So if anything, that scan you posted supports my argument as the Futton was in fact around his face's proximity.

Tsunade, whose also shown regeneration, was still suffering from the effects of damage, causing her fighting style to become sloppier and hence her speed as well ( )( ). The same should happen to Kimimaro regardless of his "regeneration" which is obviously not anywhere near Tsunade's level.

That's so different. Having your body bisected and your organs continuously healing is not the same as regenerating damage that's happening on your bones, which doesn't even make Kimimaro feel pain [ ][ ][ ][ ]. So I disagree, Kimimaro has nothing limiting him from fighting perfectly normally. And it's pretty instant, so there's not much to distinguish between him and Tsunade [ ].

Well when Mei used her mist against Madara, it was meant to slow down Madara's reaction, allowing Ay and Onoki to blitz him but they could still make out Mu and Madara's positions just fine. Not to mention Kimimaro will still makes sounds such as grunts, groans, etc. much like Sasuke, Sakura, Itachi and Tsunade have done when exposed to acid in the first two cases or fire in the second two cases.

No, no grunts will occur when Kimimaro does not feel pain, and has not shown any pain after all of Gaara's sand coffins, and Gaara's Sand Tsunami. So Bone Forest will be used without any signs of Kimimaro's location.

I don't believe he'd be able to dodge it pretty easily under the conditions I've outlined but I hate to repeat myself. There is also the fact that Mei spits out the lava out of her mouth so she can move around her aim. TheEvilOne brings up a good point as well.

I've also outlined speed feats from the lava in my posts to Killua Zoldyk.

Kimimaro was dodging Gaara's sand like it was nothing [ ]. I don't see any reason for me to believe Lava will hit Kimimaro based on the feats you displayed to Killua. And no, TEO does not bring a good point because Kimimaro does not have to go to Mei, she will come to him. After she's used Hidden Mist, a large Futton release, and a Yoton, her reserves are nearing depletion. Kimimaro on the other hand, would have loads of stamina to go on with, and won't even have to resort to CM2 in this fight. Not to mention, the lava priorly used will solidify like it did vs Sasuke (which was pretty quick). Especially true since the Lava will get thinner and thinner while it spreads out, making it not only cool faster (thus solidify) but also capable of being walked on without much harm since Kimimaro would jus have to heal the extra bone mask he has created underneath his feet (just an option, it's not necessary and won't be necessary since Kimimaro ends this with bone forest).

That's outright acid though, the mist is not acid like that, its less potent.
But Sakura was barely grazed by it and that was just acid from a dimension, not chakra enhanced acid. Furthermore, it didn't cover anywhere close to her entire body, just parts of her back.

Not really, hidden mist is scattering chakra while Acid Mist is scattering chakra and reducing its PH with more chakra.
Okay but Apex brings a good point that the hidden mist is also maintained in one area while acid mist can not be maintained in one area as it flows out so I have a feeling that maintaining the hidden mist takes more chakra.

That will simply never happen, given his speed and lack thereof for lava.

1) Mei has no way of knowing what bone Kimmimaro is hiding within.
2) He could hide at the very top of a bone or at the very bottom, either way, even if she burns the bottom portion does not mean she is burning Kimmimaro himself.
3) Kabuto's bones pale in comparison to Kimmimaros, no point of bringing them up here. You could tell by both the size and the width of the bones that Kabuto's are hundreds of times smaller. And btw, V2 Susanoo swipe > Samurai sword slash.
What speed feats does Kimimaro have that the lava doesn't. Lava was shown to travel at a faster speed than Sasuke. It travelled close to Madara who dodged it at the last second. On the other hand, hospitalized base Lee could react to Kimimaro's speed just fine, the same Lee who is on par with CE Sasuke who is leagues slower than Shippuden Sasuke and Madara.

1) Good thing Mei has produced enough lava to cover multiple bones.
2) Bone is made primarily out of calcium which is a great conductor of heat because calcium is an alkaline earth metal so it does not matter where he hides.
3) Wrong. Kabuto's are enhanced by senjutsu. Kimimaro's aren't that big either (he's used small ones against Samurai) unless he makes them grow really large which Mei isn't going to let happen, nor does Kimimaro have a need considering Mei isn't going to be flying. Yes V2 susanoo swipe>susanoo sword but let's not forget effortlessly plowing through a much thicker amount of bone>>>chipping a small amount. It should be obvious that the bones on Kimimaro's body are more durable than ones he suddenly creates from the ground.

How exactly is Kimimaro hiding in a bone? I don't even recall him doing that unless you think is hiding.
The fact that it did not phase him at all in that aspect, leads me to believe that it really won't make a difference.
This is where I know you don't have a clue in what you are talking about. Sasuke was low on chakra yet he decided to keep his susanoo up despite it being very painful and chakra taxing on him. It would have started turning him into a puddle immediately if he did not have susanoo on much like the walls started melting and his ribcage too.

Yes, literally ALL the liquid in ones body. Yoton certainly won't do that.
Why won't it?

Pretty sure that's because fire is extremely hot, acid is not.
Acid burns through corrosion so it doesn't matter if it is hot or not and does damage all over the body including internal damage.

Again, just because he chose not to dodge in that particular instance does not mean he cannot dodge. If he was even trying to dodge he would have at least been in the position to do so, yet he had his calm analytical pose. You could clearly see it was as simply as jumping up to dodge it, if I could jump high even I would be able to dodge it.
He did dodge it but ended up dodging when the lava was nearby. You my friend can't even dodge a kunai thrown at your face by a skilled shinobi so I suggest you stop making these baseless assumptions.

He can remove most of the lava himself.
How does he remove the lava? Shed his skin? Lava's been shown to be superior to amaterasu based on amaterasu not doing much to Karin, Nagato, Samurai while lava does stuff to susanoo so unless you think Kimi can tank amaterasu for an extended period of time, I suggest you don't argue this.

Again, it doesn't matter because Sasuke was not looking at the lava until the very last second and Kimmimaro will be looking at it all the way, since his attention is on Mei. If she spams, she will run out of chakra and Kimmimaro might still be unharmed.
My point was that the lava travelled at a faster speed than Sasuke and I highly doubt Kimimaro is going to be constantly dodge Sasuke, let alone something faster. I just showed you her spamming a large amount of lava in a previous post without coming close to running out of chakra and without signs of exhaustion.

Yes because there is no point in covering his Susanoo in sand only for a) Chipping Susanoo b) Madara blowing out of the sand by entering the next stage of Susanoo. Madara is faster then Kimmimaro but the Kages don't know how fast he is (Ōnoki might, but he wasn't talking at that point) and yet they still resorted to Ay punching him into the lava.
There is no point in punching susanoo if Madara can upgrade it and repair the damage but they still attacked it regardless. Because Ay punching him into lava is a guarantee hit while lava may or may not be. Doesn't mean Kimimaro can constantly dodge lava or that he would be able to dodge it under impaired/distracted conditions.

The difference is that Gaara can use sand drizzle and other sand related moves at the exact same time. Mei can't use more then one Jutsu at a time. You said how she can avoid CQC, you never talked about a scenario where CQC actually happens and let me tell you, it IS going to happen. Furthermore, once Kimi uses Sawarabi No Mai, he can easily force a CQC battle and attack her before she can weave any hand seals like he did with Gaara. Mei gets absolutely man handled in a CQC battle with Kimmimaro.
No, Gaara used sand drizzle first, then used sand arms. Mei only needs to use one jutsu right after the other. Drunk Lee caught Kimimaro off guard, a jutsu right after another does the same as he won't anticipate it.

Since there is no manga indication or logical reasoning to claim that Meis Yoton is 1/20000th of dodais Yoton and Kaguyas ash bones are tiers below kimimaros bones as feats show. Means That base kimimaro beats her comfortably let alone CS2 kimimaro who not even Rikudo naruto or rinnegan sasuke could beat

Mei mid/high diff
