Kakashi Speed Calculation Revision

If Choji and Shika had lightning-speed reactions, shouldn't Kakashi have trusted them to get out of the way in time instead of imposing himself inbetween?

Evidently they were unable to save themselves in any case; but even if Kakashi assumed they'd be capable of doing it, that isn't a good reason for him to not try and save his subordinates - given that he has a technique seemingly suitable for cancelling out the Lightning style jutsu and they do not.

I don't know about conclusions for the whole thread, but for me personally I'm fine with the other speed calcs from a mathematical perspective - but I think the two perception speed calculations aren't viable.

choji started to change movements during that timeframe. he'd be fine

Yeah, the reaction speed calc for Choji isn't what I'm questioning though. And that doesn't just require perception speed at that level in that instance since he had a much longer time to percieve what was happening. It wasn't like he only just noticed Kakazu's attack as it reached 1.44 meters away.

Hey, Alex made me an MRK too, I feel sad for not getting attention now

I calced the fact that he started moving at a specific timeframe, so in that same timeframe he reacted to a certain amount of events
- 29,733

Yep, that is largely the problem with it. There is no good reason to believe that Shikamaru's and Choji's perception only started when the lightning got that close.

Then Shikamaru's can be cut then, but Choji reacted to the lightning in the same timeframe and he reacted to his own movement in the same timeframe. Choji is fine

Choji did a movement during his time when the lightning was close and when Kakashi intercepted it
Shikamaru did a movement before the lightning got close
We don't know when Shikamaru reacted, while we know when Choji did

Did Choji watch Kakuzu fire the lightning?

Shikamaru's reacting to the lightning
Choji's reacting to his own movement
I'm just using the lightning in the calc to quantify the timeframe

Arc
If you shoot a bullet at me 20 meters away from me
And I choose to move when it's 2 meters away from me
And I can perceive my own movement
I'm reacting to my own movement
The reaction begins when he perceived his own movement

No you’re misrepresenting what happened,
What happened was the lightning was so fast Choji couldn’t begin moving until after he perceived and registered the attack.
Under your assumption Choji would be able to react to the attack from point blank range. Which isn’t the case he needed that extra time to perceive and for his neurons to fire from his brain to his arms telling them to move.

Arc7 is explaining it better than I could.

FYI you can still calc Shika and Choji’s reactions but you’d do it by a ratio of the distance Choji or Shika moved divided by the distance between Kakuzu and Shika or Choji times lightning speed [(Shika or Choji distance) / (distance from Kakuzu to Shika or Choji)] * lightning speed

what does this do to choji's speed calc
- 16,993
- 22,819
?
To calc both Shika and Choji’s reactions you would need to take a ratio of the distances they each moved over the distance lightning traversed (Kakuzu to the tip of the lightning bolt) and then multiply it by the speed of lightning to get Shika and Choji’s reaction speeds.
