Why do people consider FTG speed?

Whenever someone makes a thread about who's the fastest, people always say it's Minato due to FTG.....FTG is teleportation, it's not Minato himself moving.

It's like saying if a 1997 honda was racing against a Bugatti Veyron in a circuit, and the honda won because it took a shortcut when the Bugatti did the whole lap

That doesn't make the honda faster

This terrible analogy was just to give an example of when people compare Naruto or A's speed to Minato's and that's why I don't consider FTG to be speed.

Minato does indeed have the best reflexes in the manga, but he doesn't have the fastest bodily movement speed.

Anyone else agree? Disagree?

Nice analogy and True. FTG is not a natural speed ability. BUT Bcause of Minato's unsurpassed reflexes it has a use that NO other shinobi can compare with, and that is a perfect combo for a shinobi of Minato's skill level.

Maybe in fiction, but in the real world teleportation works through quantum entanglement
Oops quoted the wrong post haha
Naruto is fiction lol

and that is the theory of how a wormhole operates(yes I know there is no evidence to their existence either)

and I'm fairly certain that FTG is nothing like quantum entanglement

So, in other words. You think speed is how fast you can move your body parts instead of how fast you can get to a target location?

Anyway, Minato is still extremely fast, he reacted to the Raikage's punch so easily. He was able to jump to many kunai and make a plan in less then a second.

I put speed and reflexes as separate categories. Minato is indeed fast, but not faster than Naruto. However, Minato has the best reflexes in the manga

Does it matter either way?

It gets the job done.

Besides, Minato's reaction time is one of the greatest in the series regardless.
