I disagree. Gykui reacted fast enough to block Amaterasu with his tails. Third should have no problem reacting and moving out the way.
Gyuki reacting doesn't equal the Raikage being able to dodge.
Plus since we know his chakra is at least on his sons level (I think he has more though) and theres nothing fundamentally different about their Raiton Armors besides the amount of chakra poured into it, he could surge more chakra and reach a higher speed
It's not about chakra level or the armor. It's about capability. There's no evidence that the third can produce a Shunshin on par with his son's. The fact he has no feats doesn't help your case either.
The Chou Oodama one couldn't be that great if Hashirama escaped its AoE. Madara also survived it and his chakra was suppressed and he couldn't move. If he survived it then Sandaime can too.

Base Bee can shunshin over the other side of a mountain so I don't think escaping its AoE would be hard anyway.[/QUOTE]
Naruto fired it off from a distance equal to the Shinju's root. He'll be attacking the third head on here, not to mention Hashirama is faster than the 3rd by far going by feats. Raikage was evaded and counter attacked by SM Naruto, who was knocked flat by Madara's Shunshin, and Hashirama rivals Madara in physical areas.
Madara didn't survive it. They just couldn't beat him with the jutsu because he's a zombie. 3rd Raikage canonically got his armor stripped off and took very minor damage from a regular Rasen Shuriken. It doesn't make sense to say he'll tank one many times larger.
Not necesserily ,or he would have used the completed one
Lol? What? If an attack is coming to you, you use the strongest defense you can possibly use.
Why ribcage isn't enough ? Based on what?
Based on Tsunade, Ay and Onoki being able to destroy Madara's. Based on Ay chopping through Sasuke's, which should be comparable to Itachi's.
V3 can use Yata like strict said
Read above. Besides. Naruto's cloak isn't more durable than any Susanoo above a Ribcage, so it doesn't matter.
Point but I meant madara didn't use the ribcage for a reason
All that means is that Naruto's Cloak>Ribcage Susanoo, which is irrelevant cause Ribcage can't tank Kirin either.
Naruto's chakra is irrelevant ,
Lol. Wrong. Naruto is the reason the cloak is so strong. I suggest you read the Manga chapters where they explained the cloak.
v2 cloak is stronger than v1 cloak
Except the SA's cloaks that Naruto made aren't V1 cloaks. So I'm not sure why this is relevant.
I think that doesn't matter, the V2 cloaks have the same properties no matter which Bijuu uses it. Because in this form, there is no difference. The user compresses Bijuuchakra into a human form, though Kyuubi has more Chakra, the Chakra compressed isn't the Bijuu's full Chakra but only a piece of it. Plus, Bee can use this form with 8 tails. Naruto was only shown to use up to 6 tails. As you saw, even the three tails tanked Raikiri effortlessly. Also don't forget, that Naruto has only 50% of Kyuubi.
Except Naruto and Kurama's cloak is completely different than the V1 or V2 cloaks that Jinchuuriki use. Formed a different way, made of different chakra. So all V2 cloaks being the same doesn't really matter.
V3 can use the Yata mirror as well. Seems like it was V2.
It can, but it's naturally formed with V4. V3 isn't formed with any weapons as seen when Itachi used it on Kabuto and Nagato in the War Arc. V3 was wielding Yata because Itachi's Susanoo dropped a level, and since it's not a Susanoo weapon, it didn't vanish.
Then there's the fact that Ay and Onoki destroyed Madara's V2, and they can't hit as hard as Kirin hits.
