@IMade In short ... What is your point exactly? Do not come with your walls of gigantic texts, usually out of context and ignoring how Raiton is portrayed in Naruto. And you do not need to explain what happened, I think everyone here can read.
Just wanna say, if you're using Google Translate, I just want you to know how hilarious this sounds when read by a native speaker, it's so archaic. Hilarious.
And not be able to dodge is hyperbole, Manga contradict this claim.
No one dodges it in the manga. Sasuke fires it at Itachi, Itachi doesn't dodge, he blocks it with Susano'o.
And yes, Raiton is not comparable to Kirin, which uses natural lightning. The only difference is that the speed of the Kirin / Natural lightning was said by the Manga itself and are much faster than the normal speed adopted by Wikia.
This is where your assumptions come to a halt.
440 kilometers per second is the accepted standard speed for lightning. Or mach 1282.8.
The objective statements for Kirin's speed:
- Faster than sound.
- Reaches the ground in 1/1000 of a second.
These don't automatically make it better than natural lightning, especially the first one.
Obviously the debate is on reaching the ground in 1/1000 of a second which depends on how low the ground is. However, before getting into that let me point out that
actual cumulonimbus clouds can be pretty low as reported even by the Wiki's own page on lightning: The clouds that usually cause thunderstorms build about 200m to 4000m above the ground. In this wiki, 2000m is the standard assumption.
If you assumed crossing 200 meters in 1/1000 of a second, you'd get mach 583.09, or 200 kilometers per second.
Slower than our standards.
However, this is not my main point in this section of the response. It would actually be about Black Zetsu's statement timeframe of 1/1000.
First:
Black Zetsu never mentions the ground in the raws. He solely says:
"One thousandth of a second... it's faster than sound."
Second:
This statement could be about Kirin hitting the roof of the Uchiha hideout that Sasuke and Itachi stood upon or the ground. Even if we assumed it to hit the ground, the Uchiha hideout isn't that big. In this scan you can see Sasuke on top of the Uchiha hideout wall at about 21 times shorter. In this next scan, you can see the Uchiha hideout is about 17 times taller than the wall on the top.
This would only make it a little over 610 meters tall.
This is further worsened by how high Kirin and it's cloud is above Sasuke and Itachi. For starters, the cloud is not that high above them, probably about 200 meters even. But wait, it gets worse, Kirin actually comes down lower before striking.
The speed of Kirin could literally range to below Mach 580 to above Mach 2000.
But we definitely can not say Kirin is for sure above our standard Mach 1280 lightning speeds when it has the potential to be even lower than our lightning speeds.
Or, the natural lightning in Naruto is faster than our world and this simply does not interfere with common Raiton and his speed.
I showed this is not reliable above.
Beacuse Raiton still possesses more than 5 natural characteristics of natural lightning.
Okay.
• It conducts materials such as water, metal and others.
It has done this.
• It moves like electricity.
This is not one of the standards.
• He is able to numb / paralyze the opponent's body.
It has done this.
• Its weakness is Wind / Fuuton, a natural insulator of electricity.
This is not one of the standards.
• It is capable of producing strong electric shocks.
This is not one of the standards.
• They have destructive power comparable to real lightning.
This is one of the standards; however, Lightning Style Jutsu vary heavily in destructive power. From Kirin blowing up the Uchiha hideout to Konohamaru shocking a tiny animal off of him.
It can be comparable and not comparable several times. So not all Raiton qualify under this particular characteristic. In fact, almost all of them don't. They're either way above or way below, they pretty much don't qualify under this one since they aren't comparable.
