Take a good look at this . It is found in .

Within the red box is Tsunade and within the blue box is Mei. Prior to Madara launching his katon at Tsunade, , approximately 50 m away from Madara. She then went on to between herself and a stationary Madara. What is important to note is that she had an entire conversation ( ) with Madara while covering this distance.

Here is their conversation

Tsunade: It's a forbidden jutsu that only I know how to use it... Which means it's my own battle!!
Madara: You have gotten rid of my pollen with your jinton... But adding one medical ninja won't help with your chances...
Tsunade: The five of us go at it together if the four doesn't work! I'm not just a medical ninja!


Quite clearly, it took Tsunade quite a bit of time to cross 50 m. On the other hand, once Tsunade's fist connects with Madara's susanoo, he afterwards which Mei doused right away with before the katon hit her. What makes this so significant is that Mei managed to reach Tsunade's position right when Tsunade was about to be burnt by and also managed to execute suiton water spout. So while Tsunade had quite a bit of time to react to , she wasn't able to move an inch to try and avoid it whereas Mei managed to cross the distance of around 50 m which Tsunade did earlier, but without having a long conversation unlike what Tsunade did.

That's not all, after executing , Mei goes on to use which is a powerful water dragon bullet. Looking closely at the scan, by the time the water dragon hit the front of Madara's susanoo, Mei was already well behind Madara. This implies Mei initially shot the water dragon from infront of Madara but then immediately went behind him before the water dragon managed to hit susanoo. While the water dragon only had to travel a linear distance, Mei not only covered a larger displacement then her own water dragon, but she did it by traveling in an arc around susanoo so she ended up covering a much larger distance in the same time the water dragon did.

To get a visual on what happened in that scenario, .

What makes this feat even more impressive is the fact that Mei managed to jump pretty high while moving around Madara's susanoo, constantly changing her direction in a circular arc while in midair and being able to get out of the way of her own water dragon, Madara's susanoo and the .

All in all, Mei is fast enough to not only sidestep elemental attacks but she is fast enough to outrun freshly executed ninjutsu, which is much harder than simply escaping a jutsu's area of effect.

I know right, im still thinking that she is the second strongest of the Gokage after Oohnoki, or maybe at the same level as Ay

Nah I think Gaara and Ay can take her mid difficulty. But if she showed us more jutsus, mostly doton based as well as clones, she may very well be that strong.

Exactly, Mei shoots the water dragon from in front of Madara but then escapes behind him nigh instantly before the water dragon even touches Madara.

Its the perspective changing. The suiton curves in from the side. She is still on Madara's side, never behind him.

Mei is underrated, but she ranks number 4 in power of the Gokage.

The water dragon is a linearly fired jutsu, it doesn't curve, that was Mei moving around susanoo that makes it seem like the water dragon curved. She is clearly behind and above him in this scan and in the video I linked in the OP.

I agree she is number 4 amongst the Gokage. She had potential to be even stronger and even more versatile if she had more screentime.

Same, most people think Mei is below average in speed because they haven't seen Mei moving around in her fights and are under the perception that long range fighters are slow. Clearly they overlooked what was happening in this particular scan.

What scan are you talking about? She's where she is in all the relevant scans. Also there is something known as common sense and intuition since you can't see everything happening in between manga panels.

Gaara destroys her. Chill. As does Ay.

OT - Good find, Ice.
Thanks mate.

Well in the second and third panels, Mei is right next to Tsunade, you can't see her because she is dwarfed and hidden by the she created. Here is another look at the water wall from a coloured Anime perspective.
