Ok, so, some people are jumping the gun on this topic. I believe everything should take a nice and steady pace and not be rushed. When you're rushing things, you're a little more emotional and that leads to things getting blown out of proportion.
That being said, lets get on with the topic, "Lightning Fast Raikage". So, when it comes to Ay, he's not stated to be lightning fast in the Manga or Databook. That being the case, he is "implied" to be Lightning Fast, but by now, i'm sure we can all agree that implication alone doesn't beat solid feats. So lets discuss feats. What makes Ay lightning fast is that in at the Kage Summit when he fought Sasuke, he is shown to escape Sasuke's Perception in his v2 Raiton Cloak, this is also stated by Kishi through Karin. This feat is Key because in my previous thread dealing with BZ having reacted and dodged Kirin, it was brought up that upon further inspection of the Sasuke/Itachi fight, Sasuke is no longer found standing on the Pillar when Kirin strikes down. It was debated and then agreed upon that Sasuke had reacted to Kirin. To go a step further, @Kepekley23 was privy to this discussion and at the very least agree's that Sasuke should Scale from Itachi here.
Being this is the case, that means Sasuke has Lightning fast reaction speed, to which Ay, in his v2 Raiton Cloak, completely escaped Sasuke's perception, not only that, but this was a more experienced and faster Sasuke he blitzed. Therefore, through feats alone, Ay at least is faster than average Lightning. But here is the kicker. In Fight with Sasuke/Itachi, BZ states:

- Lightning is 1/1000s
- We see the height which The Thundercloud formed.
- Sasuke and Itachi's Reaction speed scale from this (Itachi should have an "At Least" rating considering he was going Blind)
- Ay's speed would be > than this as he blitzed a faster Sasuke.
