@LoneNinja

I'm happy you got a laugh. My point still stands. The body flicker technique cannot be used when you are physically unable to move is my point. whereas we have on panel evidence of people using substitution when they are physically unable to move, meaning the technique almost functions like FTG at times. There is clearly inconsistent writing when it comes to substitution.

2) lol what does this prove? A straightforward attack is easy to counter in any battle because your opponent can obviously see you coming? why do you think ninjas try to take you from behind? because you can't see the attack coming. The human eye has a easier time tracking straight forward movement compared to diagonal and sideways movement as well. The issue isn't running a straight line, this has been debunked. The issue is running in a straight line at a speed your body can't handle, which causes tunnel vision, which then causes you to be unable to see your opponent's counter. minato bans kakashi from using chidori, he never told kakashi to stop running in a straight line. Up to now you have failed to refute this point. and no, raikiri isn't some insta win button. it provides a speed boost. if my speed is 100 and your speed is 200, and raikiri only boosts my speed to 150, I'm still too slow to catch you lol. in the event this is the case, using raikiri without a sharingan would be suicide for kakashi. if his opponent can't react he wins, but if they can react he dies.

3) lol no. I said the raikiri can still be created in the arm. You can still stand still and use it to cut objects directly in front of you. the problem is when you start running with it at your top speed. the speed boost causes tunnel vision if you don't have a sharingan/etc. kakashi has no reason to risk using the raikiri in battle when he has other raiton techniques that don't cause tunnel vision if he has to be on the move with his running speed, like the purple lightning. You cited sasuke trying to kill sakura with chidori. well, newsflash he could have easily achieved that with a kunai instead of wasting extra chakra on a chidori that he was using while standing in one spot.

4) Lol, very clever, but no. Because by your own logic sasuke is as fast as crippled rock lee lol. The dude rock lee literally confessed he wouldn't and can't run at that speed, meaning he has never used that speed in that manner before lol. why ? because he hasn't used chidori before? rock lee isn't an idiot. he knows he has attacked people in a straight line before using his top speed, he is simply saying he wouldn't use a tunnel vision -generating speed while running in a straight line at his opponent. In other words, he wouldn't use chidori. if you read carefully enough rock lee is basically saying the same thing minato said to kid kakashi. Chidori is a terrible jutsu to use while running unless you have a sharingan or raiton armor. 5) lol except the stabbing speed has always been referenced to the user's running speed with chidori?
