Also I don't understand your argument about the Rasenshuriken. yes, it's a bunch of microscopic blades. But it still clearly shreds things when it was complete with Sage Mode or Kurama, just ask the Pains he destroyed with it. And it's probably just as powerful as bomb, considering all the damage it did when it was incomplete against Kakuzu. (Giant crater and all).

Also, we know it wasn't because he was an Edo because he didn't take any time to regenerate.

And I believe you are correct about 3rd being slower than 4th. But 3rd was still about as fast as KCM so it's not too much of a difference.

There are different types of speed. There is reflex speed, movement speed/footspeed, hand seal speed, etc and none of them necessarily trump the other.First of all, we dont know when killer bee began forming his tentacle to protect Ayy, and minato was on raikage's back , so he wasnt moving using his foot speed. Thats like saying Gaaras sand is faster then V2 raikage in a movement speed race just because the sand intercepted his kick when he was falling at the speed induced by gravity versus sasuke. Itachi susanoo can form in under a second due to his reflexes, does that automatically mean he is faster than V2 raikage in a foot race? Absolutely not. The third raikage's right hand man was able to put naruto in a rubber ball before the third raikage was able to punch him, under that logic he is also faster than the third raikage on foot to when he clearly isnt.

All in all, all of this is completely irrelevant to my point. The point is blitzing isnt the perfect strategy these people make it out to be. Blitzing can fail/back fire in mutlipe scenarios. Its absolutely absurd that people think third raikage is killing itachi with one blitz, or any half decent character with a name for that matter. Movement speed isnt the sole determiner of a fight. Under that logic the 4th raikage should have been able to kill madara easily just because he is faster.

Like I said, rasenshuriken is like a barrage of wind bullets and its simple physics. When it detonated it engulfed the area around raiksge in a huge dome. Pressure =Force divided by area. All the invidiual blades are striking at the large area around raikage as well as over his armor and across the entire body Each blade wasnt able to pierce his body effectively since he is still wearing armor. Rasenshuriken disentegrated The Human path easily because he was just flesh and clothes, whereas Raikage is still wearing chakra armor. The only reason the raikage lost to his own spear is because again, pressure equals force over area. His finger assault has massive force all applied to one small area on his body where his scar was, so maximum damage was done. Even then, its perfectly possible the third raikage survived rasenshuriken only because of edo tensi and the sealing corps were a bit slower to seal him that first time. My main point here is that there is no evidence the totsuka blade cant or can pierce his raiton armor.
