No, it's because OP characters have much greater speed in battle.

*Shrugs* Not to my eyes. If you can back it up, fine, but about the only speed area they look to be better in is how rapidly they attack.

The high-level speed rushes of Naruto stand up to any non-turn to light/lightning speed move in OP, and Minato's teleportation is as good as those (and arguably is quicker to trigger).

Minato could beat logia with reaper death seal but it would kill him...

If the Logia just stands there and let Minato use it, sure...

Unless you mean a fodder Logia like Caribou!

Conversely- what proof is there of One Piece having higher? It seems to be just assumed, but I don't think there's much to back it up. One Piece does have higher strength, and I believe people just made the leap to assuming higher general stats.
Or it could be the fact that Luffy has been intercepting bullets by traveling hundreds of meters (While the bullets traveled ten) since the first chapters, the multiple instances of bullet and cannonball timing, Hodi's water bullets being double digit hypersonic and slow by Luffy's standards, etc.

1.It is invisible so they won't see it coming
2.It can do long distance

To be fair, the narutoverse doesn't have bullets and cannonballs to dodge. lol

Also, aren't these bullets and cannonballs slower than modern weapons? This is pirate era tech as far as guns and cannons are concerned right? It's still fast, but I don't think it is outside of the realm of what naruto characters were capable of early on as well. If you want to take databooks seriously, then wasn't Sasuke nearly tracking and dodging lightspeed movements early in the manga? lol

Considering they have airships and 15 foot cyborgs who shoot lasers I dont think you have a leg to stand on

^ What does that have to do with ship cannons? Or regular guns?

Indeed, probably because by Kishi's own words, guns would be a gamebreaker for most ninja.

It depends on the bullet and cannon.

Van Auger's bullets certainly aren't.

Also, lasers.

Or maybe because they are ninjas and don't use guns 😛

I really think Naruto characters have shown similar speed feats to Naruto characters. Luffy dodges lasers, Sasuke dodged some of Haku's near light speed movements. Luffy's pistol barrage is similar to Gai's 1000 peacock attack.

Even if one universe has faster characters overall, I don't see the difference being large enough that the latter universe couldn't keep pace or even perform well.

The moment you actually cited this as a legitimate example was the moment any semblance of credibility you might have had was lost.

Get on my level or get out.

I actually meant that Minato could get speedblitzed by some... But I like this tech so I'm not going to argue against it, I should use it everytime someone posts a DBZ vs Naruto thread 😎

^ But assuming Luffy dodged a laser and not the person using it is legit?

Regardless, Haku states that he uses the reflection of the mirrors to pass through a given mirror, and I was under the impression that light refracting off the mirror/ice is pretty close to light speed. Sure, maybe the needles were a bit slower, but extremely fast tech nonetheless.

You citing lasers, lasers, lasers, gets tired pretty quick as well

Considering he referred to the laser as slow, yes.

Also, I don't actually subscribe to that particular laser being lightspeed, ftr. It's been calced at mach 15.

He states he uses the reflection to travel from mirror to mirror.

I'll note that Guy's Afternoon Tiger, referred to as a supersonic attack, is the greatest showing of speed in the series.

Ehhh....I had taken it as the person in general, not the actual laser but okay.

Isn't that what I said? His reflections traveling from mirror to mirror is still caused by light passing through the mirror. Granted, the speed decreases, but I was under the impression it was still around 2/3 light speed. I'm not saying it's light speed, but it is pretty f'in fast.

Wasn't there a calc of the pain fight that showed like mach 13 or something? and that was awhile ago in the series. Naruto is faster than that now. Minato would be also.

Minato himself is fast and if he had to do the hand seals in close combat he could erect a space time barrier to protect himself while he does it. He could beat most logia's.

Um no the frs calc surpassed any calc for gai and now that we have people in the series reacting or dodging that with ease we have double digit mach characters. The fact you tell others that naruto characters are at best supersonic despite there being threads I have shown with calcs showing otherwise is simply astounding.

The bullets, being flintlock, are likely slower than that, and heck, seem slower than Usopp's slingshot. We've seen projectiles visibly move quite slowly (the normal marines were able to notice and react to the cannonballs fired by Capoine before they hit).

And, oh yea, Naruto characters still move longer distances in shorter periods of time, regularly, and we see OP characters try and travel distances and take awhile to do so repeatedly. Most of the fast OP stuff is just burst speed, and you might say, 'well, ok, Naruto has better sustained speed but OP has the option of burst,' but Naruto has very fast bursts too that travel much, much faster than the distance travel that covers kilometers over short times.

And I will note, a lot of people are trying to scale off of projectile speeds, a mach 15 laser and all that. Well, to that, let me point out how in baseball, a 45mph pitch is really slow and easy to hit to a pro, but it's still way faster than they can go. Finding a projectile slow doesn't mean you're faster than it, or even remotely as fast, just that, at it's speed, you can react to it.

You can be 1/10th the speed of something and still react to it just fine.

OP deals with high speed projectiles pretty often, but Naruto has the better speed feats.

Question: Are things like Flash Step and Body Flicker actual uses of speed or are they just teleports? Because your have Shunsui travelling long distances is a single step indicating its more the latter to me.
