Note: Please stop with saying my logic or points have been "debunked". I clearly said my points are to my understanding. This isn't a contest, there is no prize for trying to "win" this argument.

Also, you said "..so the chidori boosts speed until someone actually proves me wrong..." No pal, none of the chapters and statements you presented directly state that the chidori boosts speed. Speed is thrown around yes, but where is the causation? Where is the mechanism mentioned?

And no, you can't simply compare speed boost ability to other raiton techniques now. Why? Because techniques like lightning armor have a mechanism for a speed boost, enhanced nerve transmission.

For clarity, my argument that more speed == more power for the chidori. Is based on the penetration power of the chidori. Chidori is a piercing attack, meaning it's main ability is to pierce through defenses. With more speed, then the chidori has greater penetrating power. Why do I say this? Look at Sasuke vs Gaara in part 1. Sasuke had to use all the available space inside the arena to build up enough speed to pierce through gaara's sand. The straight-line attack only also supports this.

Which is not the same as a rasengan. A rasengan is a grinding attack, not a piercing attack. Rasengan's main ability is not to pierce through defenses.

You need to come up with a mechanism for the speed boost for your argument, with evidence that supports it. It's not good enough to say otherwise, while there is evidence that contradicts it.

So can we just have an honest conversation?
