@Jason, It definitely was his speed that was bending space. Madara being able to talk in his head is just the author conveying what's happening through the character. It's anime logic. Also, even without that, think about how fast the other characters in the war are. Like KCM Minato, tobirama, hashirama, etc. These are all established fast characters but if we ignore bullet time, they all look like slowpokes, even in the anime... Hashirama was fast enough to run away from a close range bijuu dama and create enough space to summon rashomon gates. In the manga the lore depicts him as fast. But he looks like a slowpoke in the anime. So yes I'm starting to think that yes a large part of the manga is in fact in slow motion. Now, that by itself doesn't rule out plot no jutsu and plot based power ups as I said in a previous post. I don't understand fully how kakashi and gai could keep up with percieve obito and naruto either, but I think it's just either plot or they got buffs. Or maybe we are just misunderstanding how speed is depicted.

How can you turn to the anime though? Hidan looks slow af but by lore he is faster than weightless part one rock lee, who literally appeared to be teleporting when he was blitzing gaara. Hidan was on par with kakashi in speed, and that same kakashi was also faster than part one weightless lee. Bullet time must be in use. I actually learned something new from this thread!!! I'm kinda happy lol.

The animators at the end of the day are just looking to make money off a popular manga. They take liberties and make changes in many areas to adjust the series to make it slightly more appealing. Think about the fact that in the manga Neji's cage bird symbol is literally a Nazi sign while in the anime they made it look more like an X. The animators don't do a bad job, but they make mistakes or make adjustments that make the source material more presentable in their eyes.
