And A isn't debatable. A totally outclasses Itachi in terms of Shunshin. Only Minato and Naruto are comparable to A in this manga.

Why is that? A's best feat was temporarily outpacing Sasuke's Sharingan.

Itachi did so to three Sharingan users, a Sage, etc.

This is what shunshin is means

A shunshin is any unnatural burst of speed between two points.

Here's the databook:

Body Flicker Technique (瞬身の術, Shunshin no Jutsu)
Ninjutsu, D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Gaara, Hatake Kakashi, et al

A movement technique with extreme speed like a gust of wind!!

Appearing along with the wind, disappearing like the wind: the ninja's instantaneous movement technique. This super fast movement is almost impossible to grasp with the naked eye. If seen by an ordinary person, it would seem as if the user has teleported... In reality, the user has vitalized his body with chakra and moved at super speeds. The amount of chakra used up differs depending on the distance and elevation of their stopping point in comparison to the starting point.

Distance is correlated with chakra, but speed is correlated with jutsu-skill IMO.

He shunshin'd to blitz Zetsu in base. He shunshin'd out of Juugo's explosion blast in a blitz. He shunshin'd against Minato, like he shunshin'd to avoid Sasuke's instant Amaterasu, he was constantly shunshining against Naruto, those are his feats, totally outclassing Itachi's who has none in this manga if i remember. What happened against Uchihas was off-panelled, we only saw the end of it, so we can't tell exactly what he used. He never blitzed the Sage you mentioned as well. He used his clones to fool him and take advantage of this

Exactly and in all of your pics, where do you see Itachi using it?

Itachi shunshin-blitzed Kurenai, but I didn't include it because she's 'meh,' as are a White Zetsu and Juugo.

He shunshin'd against Minato

And was humiliated.

like he shunshin'd to avoid Sasuke's instant Amaterasu

I granted him this, but it doesn't outdo Itachi's own feats.

we only saw the end of it, so we can't tell exactly what he used.

Whatever he did, it was so fast that they were all on their backs in between panels.

Super-speed/shunshin was used.

He never blitzed the Sage you mentioned as well. He used his clones to fool him and take advantage of this

Clone feints use super-speed as well.

And Kabuto's sensing still reacted slower than it did to the distraction + Susano'o arrow plan used earlier.

So distraction + Itachi's shunshin > distraction + Susano'o arrow.

Exactly and in all of your pics, where do you see Itachi using it?

In each picture, since he doesn't normally move fast enough to blitz Sharingan users or outpace a Susano'o-arrow...

A is faster. Sasuke, Kakashi, Gai, and B are comparable to his speed.

Kinda hard to tell when it comes to something like this. I can't provide evidence (on my phone) but I'd say Shisui, Gai, Lee, Sasuke, Raikage, and Bee would all compare to Itachi. Itachi does have some impressive speed feats though, your thread more than proves that.
Perfect answer :cool:

Kakashis speed has been underrated severly. He's faster than itachi.

Kakashi has comparable speed. Always gets behind his enemies. Has been keeping up with speed demons like Naruto Gai, Bee and Obito. Managed to get in front of ino-shika-cho and blocked Kakuzu's lightning depite just having got hit by a wind blast. Been praised by his sensei and Obito for his speed.

A= This dude got the title of Fastest Man alive after Minato and before Naruto's KCM.

Gai= Being speedy is his fighting style. Not only his foot speed is fast but all his body, he punches so fast he can create fire balls in the air with mere friction. With just two leaps, he was able to catch up on Kisame who had been so far away from them.

Shisui= we haven't seen any feats from him but his title and hype should put him above. Only a few have gained a moniker for being fast and those who have had it had lived their hype.

Whoever said Killer Bee needed those warning?

Anways, Bee is faster and Sasuke is about even now.

According to Databook he has the same speed as Sasuke, a little slower than Itachi. As for the thread: A, 3rd Raikage, Gai, Shisui, probably Lee.

You confuse speed with shunshin. Shunshin is a ninjutsu. Speed is body movement. Gai and Lee for example are fast, but they don't use Shunshin. It's not their speciality(well Gai used it once when facing team7 in part1). So Itachi is faster than Kakashi and Sasuke in body movement(well at least if the databook is still accurate), doesn't mean he has greater shunshin than them which is the question of the topic, and considering feats that Sasuke has(and hype), i don't think Itachi is above him in shunshin

It would make sense for Itachi to have a faster shunshin, even without his better feats, because he has superior chakra-molding abilities, especially compared to Gai and Lee.

Well that's just a speculation. Feats and hype are in Sasuke's favor though

lee and gai arent really praised or have been noted for shunshin feats. While i admit sasuke has shown amazing shunshin feats the DB has made it clear that Itachi is still faster since he has a maxed out 5 in speed while sasuke has a 4.5 i believe? Itachi is known to do feint clones and shunsin speed blitz combo and he has also shown shunshin blitz over his clones to other locations. Regarding kakashi he is indeed fast Im not aware of all of kakashis shunshin feats i assume they are indeed fast. The 4th raikage thats a given.

I wouldnt be surprised though if sasukes shunshin is faster though since the DB hypes it up to be godlike. But Itachi has shown plenty of remarkable shunshin feats.
