Thnerefor he was technically floating forward at full speed. How is this so hard for you two to understand?? A's feet only touched the ground once and that was again... when he used them to launch himself at Minato at full speed. You don't like that? Too bad. Again with this "floating" thing. What you are describing is indistinguishable from in-between steps. Shinobi hunch forward when running, ever heard of naruto-running?

Wait, ch542, pg 14's top panel doesn't even show Ay's feet close up and on the middle wide angle panel, his right foot is on the ground after Minato FTG to the tree-kunai. He wasn't even "airborne" there. You must have missed that...

And no, Ay was at full speed the moment he began the run-up to Minato(ch543, he was already hunched). I don't know what you are trying to accomplish dying on this hill. If all shinobi now "float" between steps, why has this never been an issue before?

My comparison with Minato's big ball rasengan to Ay's knee is due to clone SM Naruto using a regular rasegan to 180 the 3rd Raikage's own arm. I'd argue that the same amount of force can move Ay's knee and break it/push it out of socket. Plus Ay's own momentum would enhance the damage.

What about sealing Ay away?
