[Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

[straightup]

which is why i proposed the theory that he used v1 and not v2, v2 is faster than v1, minato might have been able to barely dodge v1 because of his reflexes but v2 closes this gap

he diidnt barely dodge it. he waited for the last millasecond so he could do that whold toss the kunia thing without raikage flipping around on him

[Itachi Namikaze]

I would like to point out that the manga said that Minato and the raikage fought several times, and A said he thought Minato could never be beaten. If you don't think that A increased his speed at all over time then you are mistaken.

[Narubi]

So don't forget that Minato has FTG lvl2 that he didn't use against V2 Raikage...

[Warmaker87]

lol btw you dont know if minato was using his fastest technique, and the raikage said they fought many times and minato is faster, just because this scene was showed it doenst mean anything, is was showed because it was the first meeting of those too and for the story to make more sense

[blazekev90]

lol Minato didnt even use moto(muscle/foot) speed, he teleported everywhere which is why A was concerned about the Kunia.

[Gambitz1]

Nice theory but A said it himself, Minato is faster. Plus we know A can be impulsive but when you go up against the man who is known for his speed i don't think A would have given it anything but his best.

[MCYoungJT]

Minato is faster because of his teleporting however that is his trump card, so I definitely say it counts. You can't take away a mane trump card.

[phantom1]

He had a ****ing headband holding his hair down for christs sake. Another useless thread. ****

[fayt666]

also if u thing bout this when raikage fought minato was much younger and less speed and power. sense then raikage speed must improved drasticly and strenght. if not he must sat on his fat ass for 15+ years to keep same strength and speed of when fought minato.

naruto=minato asuming minato held back.
naruto > minato speed if minato didnt hold back. even so minato seemed to taunt raikage in battle and such so minatos speed could be that of naruto atm or greater.

[Words of wisdom]

Dude he has a headband on that's why his hair never stuck up.

[psukkar]

yes i was sayiong the exact thing when this debate broke out during these chapters releases.

There is lv 1 and 2 intensties of his lighting flicker jutsu.

And he simply didnt have this when they frist fought each other, although minato and A said they fought many times after that inaitail battle. Minato hinted their next battle would be when they are both kages.

[psukkar]

Look at the scan(can't post it) of when he charged up to attack Naruto. His hair spiked up. Bee then noted that Raikage was at his fastest. This means his attack on Naruto was definitely V2. Naruto dodged it and then Raikage noted that the boy was the second person to do this meaning the first person also dodged his V2 punch. Meaning Minato dodged his V2 punch.

Also.....headband man. Everone has made it abundantly clear.

the point op was making is that riakage wasnt at his fullspeed at their first encounter, noit that raikage was faster. Like i said raikage and minato said they fought many times so they were at their best after their inital battle.

[Priyam Bhowmick]

It dosent make any diff. Minato would have inc. his speed to match A's. Nd when A admits that Minato was the fastest, why do u mind spending all the time posting all this. I m nt a Minato fanboy bt to clear ur misunderstanding,it was nt as if A missed his punch in a nick of time, it was Minato who was waiting fr A's punch to come as close to him as possible, so that he could strike him back. U saw even before A knew it he used his teleportation to change his place nd come back to the same place to strike A. All these happened in that flash of moment when A's punch was about to land nd it missed. Minato is awesome fast. Dont compare A's speed to the FTG. Could that blockhead use his speed to his advantage against Madara.

[PureSkillz]

Headband.

Also, teleportation is instantaneous. So any kind of speed can't surpass it.

[Bahama]

A even said that was his fasted technique.

[olim1017]

This is a nonsence thread, dont refer your theory in the drawings in manga, it is very clear that A states it that the 4th hokage is faster than him, what are your points? You want to twist the story? Why there are people like you making this nonsence thread!

[gameove]

raikage faster but spacetime is instant. simple
