Maybe he couldn't erupt the chakra arms because he got speed-blitzed lol before he could react and think to use them. I agree it could also have been Plot induced stupidity, but these are just theories. You need to prove which hypothesis is correct.

Dude here is the issue, we can't start with assumption then look for evidence. We need to look at all the evidence then make a conclusion. You start with the assumption that obito is slow, and that the rinnegan wouldn't make him faster, when its known to boost phsyical stats. If his leg strength increases then he can run faster, no?

Obito's travel speed is near featless prior rinnegan, so you can't measure him effectively. IMO, he is definitely below the raikage pre war. The only pre rinnegan travel speed feat is him supposedly running as fast as minato. But I doubt it, because he couldn't rofl speed blitz kabuto before kabuto could react. So yes I don't know how to rank pre-war arc obito.

But war arc is a different story. Tell me why naruto couldn't put his FOOT ON THE GROUND in the time it took for obito to touch his head. answer me this well, and I'll concede. Naruto was clearly still mid-run, but I'll give you that he was slowing down to a stop because he didn't want to get too close to obito. but that doesn't explain why his foot couldn't touch the ground in the time it took for obito to move several feet towards him. his foot only touches the ground after obito passes through him. Then he stands in that same spot.

This anime definitely became DBZ dude, kishimoto is an admitted dbz-tard. Megazords, huge explosions, people moving at mach speeds and light speed... We already cleared this, y u do dis to me;-;. Night Moth bended space with its speed yet he looks slow on panel. Bijuu mode Minato looked slow af, even though we know in base he is a speedster with shunshin who makes someone like hashirama look slow, the same hashirama who outran a point blank bijuu dama long enough to set up rashomon.... so kcm naruto could easily look slow for the same reasons too, you have to prove that he is the exception.

I'm open to the idea that maybe in 595 the characters were moving slow, but I need more proof from you, not just possibilities.
