There is no panel which shows that in the manga. Only the anime shows him flipping his kunai. It's a good think I didn't since I get all my references from the manga. as shown here, Minato held the kunai from below the waist. Three panels later, the same kunai is up to A's shoulder, therefore Minato flicked the kunai upwards. This is your headcanon. Reaction speed eliminating tunnel vision was never stated in the manga. It doesn't make any sense anyway. If you're thinking faster AND moving faster than you'd have the same problem at a faster scale. In order for this to even make ANY sense, Raikage would have to be moving at slow motion to himself to eliminate tunnel vision. He can't out think his own speed. So you're saying that the Raikage would experience greater tunnel vision than an average Joe? If so, this is what speed induced tunnel vision looks like and what the Raikages would experience would be far worse. But they don't since they can see where they are going at the speeds they're moving. LCM stimulates the user's entire nervous system which includes sight.

Why can't he out-think his own speed when normal people do it all the time? No. Losing sight of the target isn't the same as detecting where the target's counter is coming from. Just because I lose sight of a left hook doesn't mean I'm going to detect that it was a feint and that the punch is really a right cross. If your logic is correct, Kakashi could see his target shifting the body he was trying to stab, so why did Minato have to save him? Hint. Minato never mentions momentum. It's a good thing that the Raikages didn't suffer from tunnel vision

No. Momentum had nothing to do with it. Momentum won't stop the Raikage from shifting their arms just like momentum didn't stop Naruto/Sasuke from shifting their entire upper bodies. They didn't alter their arm movements because they didn't see the counterattacks. That's why they got shanked. Complete speculation. A3 lunged forward putting all of his weight into his stab. Momentum prevented him from suddenly shifting his body. The same goes for A4 who put all of his weight into his elbow. The same can't be said for Naruto and Sasuke who were relatively upright until they made their strike. If I punch you while we're standing and you dodged it, does that mean I didn't see you or you simply moved out of the at the right time? The answer is the latter. <div class="quote" I see that I was already chill and you made a nonsensical statement, but whatever. Now I know to completely ignore such statements in the future. You clearly weren't chill when you were being indignant in response to Ravenlot's benign post.

I no longer feel like responding as I have stuff to do. So you can just ignore this entire post if you feel like it and just focus on Legion's responses.
