Raikage used a version of body flicker that was accompanied by a Lightning Chakra Mode and he had to use it at full power to match Minato's reflexes, meaning Minato in base mode was just as fast as powered-up Raikage. So, obviously, he's not renowned as Konoha's Yellow Flash just because of his FTG mastery. If that was the case, he would have been subjected to the usual Naruto naming pattern and would have been named Minato of the FTG.

Also, can you refresh my memory - in which manga chapter did Itachi beat Shisui in 5/10 matches and where did Shisui say he will surpass him? Not saying Itachi's not fast. He's surely demonstrated speed feats before. But the fact that 14 year old Obito managed to keep up with Minato for a moment dictates that he's not without speed feats either. Shunshin is shunshin. No matter how you use it. Shisui had a natural mastery of shunshin while A had to empower his shunshin with lightning chakra. Its the same as a guy taking a shortcut and a guy doing it the hard way for the same goal. He was named yellow flash because of his ftg. He couldnt dodge raikage without ftg proving he is faster than minato. Shisui told" now we are equal" after defeating itachi in a match which means itachi defeated him 50% of matches before. He said itachi will surpass him when he gave him his eye and sasuke told fugaku and itachi are more powerful than shisui. The village selected itachi as double agent instead of shisui who was only willing to take the role. The databook says he was taken for his skills by the village instead of shisui so itachi is faster than shisui and minato and raikage so itachi speedblitzes obito and obito never kept up with 4th he had his spacetime evade his attacks, his spacetime is also faster than minato which minato acknowledges. Obito wouldnt touch itachi.

wrong minato was known as the yellow flash because of the body flicker technique. when minato used the flying thunder god technique there was absolutely no flash. the only time there was a tracable flash was when he used the body flicker technique.

the lightning armor of raikage's doesn't increase his speed. all it does is allows him to bipass the bodies reaction system since lightning is covering his entire body the electrical signals of the brain become instant. allowing him to react to anything instantly. his body was already able to move that fast.
