It doesn't hinge on that at all. My argument is just that you can't conclude Obito~>Minato off this interaction because it was favorable for Minato to attack slower than Obito either way. Just like I don't think you can conclude Shunshin Minato>>Obito from him catching Naruto (though you can...
I mean Shikamaru talks as if she's always been a genin
Could be captain in terms of leading them in battle plans rather than literal rank. Also I'm not an expert on the anime but wouldn't Sarada becoming chunin have been after this point in the manga?
Mine would be:
Lee vs Gaara
Jiraiya vs Pain
Kakashi vs Obito
Minato vs Obito
Guy vs Madara
Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori
Obito vs the Blood Mist
Hiruzen vs Orochimaru + Edo Hokage
Edo/Revived Madara vs the Shinobi Alliance (both fights are around the same level and are Peak Chadara)
Neji vs...
I agree, he's not so fast that he can blitz Obito before he mentally activates Kamui
It's a fact that he outpaced him in THAT exchange yes. This is visible on panel, it was never the point of contention. The point of contention is whether it's a valid feat given the situation (as an analogy, it...
@NeoKingOfLight Let's say that hypothetically Minato was faster than Obito in combat speed. In what way would it have been beneficial if he attacked faster and forced Obito to phase there? It would've just maintained the stalemate
The problem is that both when he first unlocked KCM and when he supposedly got a mental amp, he was compared to the Yellow Flash
I don't think him choosing to use Susanoo proves he couldn't dodge. He was able to react to KCM2 Naruto physically, I really doubt he had trouble with Ay's speed...
Wait a sec I just realized the intelligence and weaknesses revision accepted here never got applied 💀

It's not explicitly stated, but it absolutely is implied. Just look at what Minato says.
"My physical attacks don't affect his body...but he makes himself solid when he attacks me" - thus Minato has to ensure that Obito continues his offense and doesn't switch to defense
"I have to aim for a...
Idk if you mean when he said Minato's Shunshin is faster than his or when he complimented his striking speed. For the former, I'm pretty sure movement speed was considered ass for a while, and for the latter, ig just complimenting isn't really quantifiable (the raws seem to also have a somewhat...
Sure you could interpret it like that, could be worded more clearly tho so it isn't interpreted as Minato only keeping up due to FTG (especially as that's a widespread notion in the fandom)
Ik, I'm just saying the combat speed justification is lacking
Obito should be Sub-Rel overall ngl
What...
Ik, that's why I said combat speed. Minato's profile only compares his reaction speed to Ay.
Obito isn't faster than Minato, Minato slowing down to make Obito think he could tag him and thus materialize is part of his stated plan
I don't think Minato's even scaled to KCM Naruto at the moment cause his speed section is very outdated. It pretty much just says his reaction speed gave him an edge against Ay and that's he's faster than Obito, who's rated as MHS+. Technically, based on the justification his combat speed...
Doesn't seem to be considering the kanji definition, and while it's not definitive, Chat GPT also interprets it as likely an ability comparison
ミナトと肩を並べ。
What do you mean?
Yes, because it's kind of extremely difficult to counter Dual Kamui with superior speed.
That doesn't really seem to be what it's saying but sure you could interpret it like that to avoid contradiction
Dam Kakashi's Birthday Columns have quite a few scaling statements

Kakashi got stronger between P1 and P2 (kinda obvious but nice to get confirmation)
BoS Naruto/BoS Sakura~BoS Kakashi (again intuitive but...
Eh you could say that but I was referring to a mention of Naruto learning KM0 in the timeskip anyways
It does say instantly, might just be that he chooses not to use it that much
Hm maybe, I have thought that before, I feel like the evidence for that is a little vague since he seems to be in...
