Where in the history of Naruto Manga is it ever stated speed values are based on real world values? There are so many inconsistent speed feats in this series its nearly impossible to know how fast the people really are. With this said can we stop over exaggerating speed?

I don't know lol.. but Naruto was my first anime and i remember thinking "Wow" with regards to speed in the Forest of Death.

Dosu pretty much confirms their attacks are the speed of sound [ ] And Sasuke ends up not only dodging one of those attacks while carrying both Naruto and Sakura (albeit with the curse mark), he appears behind Zaku almost immediately [ ]-[ ].

Tbh thinking about it again, it makes me wonder how fast the main characters are in the war arc if mere genin are faster than the speed of sound xD

This is precisely the point i'm making. Does this mean that all characters beyond 1st part is faster than sound?

They put it in slow motion for our reading easeness.

Madara's beam attack is Databook-confirmed light speed yet we were clearly able to visualize it without much difficulty.

Im sure it is but madara isn't...Im not buying the reading ease either as the illustrations don't fit the speed at which we hype them.

It's the same thing right...?

Some amount of Physics laws are sacrificed for obvious reasons. Example: Sasuke's Shurikens are stated to be lightning quick

Yet Itachi didn't seem "that fast" when he dodged it.

lightning quick doesn't mean quick as lightning. It's a figure of speech stating something is really quick lol

clearly not the speed of sound.
What are you?
New to Manga?

The authors intentionally slow down their speed for us to perceive what's going on.

Characters like Goku can move at speed beyond light, yet his movement when depicted on the manga seem anything slow but that.

Haha yes it does, even the Jonin in p1 would be faster than sound. Gai's punches in 6G (i think Asakujaku) should be hypersonic since it sorts of imitate re-entry level speeds. Narutoverse speed stuff is crazy and i hear/read speed related stuff in Dragon ball is even crazier XD

idk but i do know gaara has slug level speed...
Not even fanfic writers would make such a statement that would portray themselves as being unable to use their brains to think. XD

That doesnt say that the strike is lighting speed. It is not literal. It says that the caster can take out the weapons more faster than anyone just to have the upper hand in the battle.

"Shurikens are truly deployed at lightning speeds..."

Deploy = throw.....

Speed feats can be divide in 5 different kinds. Sasuke attack is light speed for sure. Not him.

And for Itachi, he had aim reaction speed. Different from reaction speed.
Care to differentiate between the two....?


I hope it's not that argument which says "Itachi only needs to react to Sasuke's hand movement...."


Because I can use that in my favour: Naruto dodged Madara's head moving sidewards and not the light attack right...?
