It was like he just randomly could move in that one instance to add suspense for the battle. Agreed. I just don't see the "Nagato out-blitzes Naruto" thing. He literally was limping along complaining how slow he was and then all of a sudden he outblitzes naruto? I mean it's Edo Tensei which by itself defies all rules, but i just don't see the whole "fast nagato" thing.

Most of Nagato's abilities are useless against a fast shinobi like Minato. Deva with it's cooldown. Chibaku Tensei is horribly slow which a Minato (with FTG seals everywhere apparently) would FTG out of. Asura was destroyed by Frog Kata, which Minato can do too. Human is quite strong, but given that Minato knew of the Shinigami seal, i'm not so sure if it would work properly. it would also require Minato to be caught, and his entire MO is not getting caught. Preta is strong against ranged jutsu but useless against Frog Kata, plain weapons and Sage Mode chakra (contact chakra draining). Nakara isn't even a combat path.
