Ayyy another Nardo Speed Thread(The Lightning Round)

Arc7Kuroi(Option 2)
Just to correct you, myself, Shadow, and Tracer think that Lariat being Rel+ is fine (whether that is through partial or full ratings). None of us said anything about V1 being Rel+ in general or V2 being SoL.

We agreed to this:
At least MHS+ (current base rating), higher with V1, far higher with V2, even higher, (likely/possibly) Rel+ with his top speeds (When building up speed he can approach the SoL as seen with his Lariat)
 
Mifune, in that state, has no scaling to the Raikage and likewise for the Raikage to him. This is not relevant.
Well I don't particularly agree with this but you can say V2 Ay is faster than Bee who shot a Bijuudama at a similar speed to Mifune's Light Beam.

a V1 One-Tailed Cloak Mifune's slash is Lightspeed. the Raikage is faster than a normal Mifune. a normal nine tails cloak would not make him significantly faster than before. This was just a side point on how lesser characters can reach these speeds.
Darui is not accepted to be lightspeed. This is not relevant.
this wasn't that important to the thread, just something I thought I'd add at the end to show jutsu having the properties of light is not uncommon.
Minato doesn't scale to either 8th Gate Guy or Six Paths Madara. Are we forgetting that Madara utterly fodderized Minato while Minato executing a surprise attack on him? This is not relevant.
Madara is far stronger but Minato has been shown capable of reacting to the attacks of these God-tier characters the same Minato who was a rival to Ay when he was alive.
The Light Fang is considered to be virtually undodgeable according to the databook (the same source as where lightspeed is given for the jutsu's speed) and never mind the fact that Naruto in Six Paths Sage Mode managed to dodge it... It has been established that KCM1 Naruto can outspeed the Raikage, and SPSM Naruto is much faster than his earlier self... The Raikage is not up at this level of speed.
Arc partially addressed this with a translation but just because SOSP Naruto did it does not mean other lesser characters couldn't. Especially since the in-story characters showed no concern for the Jutsu.
Ay's body handling light-speed movement =/= Ay can fight at light-speed. This was covered up abvoe though so I won't dwell on it.
Fair this was more of supporting evidence. I don't even think this makes him definitively SOL.
Do you know what kind of speeds you can get from someone dodging a bullet? Superhuman. Subsonic. Supersonic. Hypersonic. Etc. It all matters on context; simply dodging a bullet is not an inherent speed value. Same for this vague, unseen feat of Kakashi cutting lightning. It's not relevant and it should stop being brought up.


What the hell does this have to do with the Raikage? Care to explain instead of just bringing it up and acting like it is obvious?
Kid Kakashi at some capacity can react to lightning, the Raikage is much faster. In isolation that isn't saying much I agree.
But the Raikage is considered the fastest Shinobi at a point in time where Light speed Jutsu and movement are not unheard of.
What? Where is the Raikage currently rated as "lightning speed"? The Raikage's V1 state is rated as Sub-Relativistic.
I address it this way because, in the original thread, there were people that preferred the interpretation of a Lightning Speed Raikage so I figured it should be addressed just in case people still believe that.
There is so much that is completely not relevant to the topic that is in the OP that I feel like most of it was put there just to pad the OP out and make it look like the proposals have more weight behind them than they do.
Everything in this thread was based on people's opinions I saw in the original thread along with common arguments I've seen against it. Sorry if you feel like it's padding but I wanted to address those points early on to avoid having to talk about them if and when they come up.

His slash isn't. The projectile he creates is. Raikage has no scaling to that projectile.

Madara is far stronger but Minato has been shown capable of reacting to the attacks of these God-tier characters the same Minato who was a rival to Ay when he was alive.
I don't see how this is relevant. Minato was still faster than A either way.

But the Raikage is considered the fastest Shinobi at a point in time where Light speed Jutsu and movement are not unheard of.
So what? What does the Raikage being the fastest shinobi have to do with lightspeed jutsu existing? 99% of Shinobi aren't going to be keeping up with jutsu faster than MHS+ anyway.


The other points don't seem to need to be responded to.

Either way other shinobi present are able to use projectiles that match its speed.

Unless you try to argue that random Hyugas and Temari with one-tail cloaks have jutsu faster than the Raikage which is very unlikely.

Light-speed Jutsu statements have been made about people that are (if we're being generous)relative if not beneath Ay in speed.

It's not a leap in logic to suggest that Ay scales closer to people like Edo Madara(who has a Relativistic feat) and Minato(who can react to God Tiers) than regular shinobi. He's tagged Madara and fought Minato on multiple occasions.

A better thing to discuss would be if there are any anti-feats or scaling contradictions that come from a Relativistic+ Ay.

If you have anything like that please share.

Who? Aside from Mifune, who has no relation to Ay?

There is a large gap between Madara's Relativistic feat and the Speed of Light which is a part of the proposal in the OP.

A better counterargument would be if there are any anti-feats or scaling contradictions that come from a Relativistic+ Ay.
So just to check, do you think there'd be no problems with KCM1 Naruto and V1 Killer B both being Relativistic+?

I'll address other points later but as far as I've seen KCM1 Naruto and V1 Killer B being Relativistic+ isn't contradicted.

If you have any arguments on how it could be inconsistent with scaling please share.

but so far I have yet to see any strong scaling arguments against this.
 
B would only be Rel+ with Lariat.

I don't remember did Naruto use Shunshin to evade Ay or was that raw speed?
Gotcha, just checking against the other versions of the proposal in the OP.

As for the issue of Shunshin or not, I don't think it's ever made clear. It can be hard to tell if they're using Shunshin or not.
 
Bee does compare what looks to be Naruto's movement speed to Minato's teleportation jutsu when he blitzes Kisame.

the force was enough to twist his ankle and Yamato commented later that he needed to work on controlling his power so take that as you will.
 
Considering V1 Ay was matching him prior, probably Shunshin. Also cause when he was last compared to Minato, it was in reference to his Shunshin.
Naruto could have been holding back like Ay was.

but was it his Shunshin? I always thought the Kisame thing was referring to natural speed that they thought looked like Minatos flying Raijin. Unless he Shunshin'd hard enough to twist his ankle. Yamato also says he needs to control his power.

Bee also says he "outran" the Raikage.

12360431_1520_1200_295706.webp


But Ay later on states Minato "outran" him too. So I'm not entirely sure tbh.

12360424_760_1200_136346.webp

His current speed rating has it as physical speed.

there's also the instance where he blitzes the Third Raikage.

this one feels more like movement speed with the Rasenshuriken in hand but I could be wrong.

Would he really hold back after so many failed attempts? Also this really does not look like the face of someone holding back.
Naruto - Digital Colored Comics chapter 543, page 3

Bee's asking if it's teleportation jutsu, which is the VIZ name for Shunshin. And yeah? Him needing to control his Shunshin speed fits that.
Bee also says he "outran" the Raikage.

Um...I'm really not sure what your point is with this. You know Shunshin is just using your chakra to make you run a lot faster right? It still is running at the end of the day, whatever name it has.

Tbf it’s not that hard to believe, not sure how a fully powered naruto would be getting pressed this hard but then be able to dodge his fastest attack point blank, without the explanation of him holding back at least a little

Bc the idea of him deciding to use shunshin for the actual dodge wouldn’t make much sense either considering time was a big factor here. As desperate as naruto was to advance past the raikage he would’ve used it much sooner

Either way, if they’re both physical speed and applied in combat i don’t see what difference it makes anyway. Unless I’m missing something
 
I don't think it's more holding back as it is just Naruto getting used to his powers. Since mid-fight his resolve gets stronger, and after dodging the Raikage's fastest punch, he looked more confident.
 
I agree with option 3. The statement is of an attack that is not the character's conventional speed, but of a specific attack whose objective is to be extremely fast. This wouldn't scale for characters who got into casual combat with the Bee or Ay, so don't see this as an outlier.
 
By the way, what is the difference between option 1 and disagree? If my English isn't bad, option 1 means don't agree with the light-speed or near light-speed...
