id like to hear your views..but here me out first, please constructive arguments only

when amaterasu was introduced it was supposed to be unavoidable
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/390/17/

sasuke didnt avoid it he got hit but he replaced himself,

http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/390/03/

"the flames will burn whatever the eye focuses on, it converges at EXACTLY that point"

so amaterasu is fire outwards it appears at whatever the eye is looking at..

so how did raikgae avoid it...u can say he avoided it with pure speed the sharingan cannot follow..BUT

1. why did amateraus continue on to hit the samurai behind raikage, if the flames appear exactly at that point why did it keep moving backwards?

2. raikage would need to be constantly moving at the speed to avoid any amaterasu that could be coming his way...so he must have predicted amaterasu was coming if not the flames woulda appeared and it would have been too late

let me explain it again, the flames burn exactly at the point of the eye which conscnetrates on, if raikage keeps going at that speed then the eye cannot concentrate but how did rai know sasuke was going to use it, because u cannot start moving at the speed AFTER amaterasu is activated its already too late..the flames woulda already appeared and burnd and as rai moves the flames would still be on the body since the body was the point which the eyes focused on when the body was at stand still.


so basically im using actual texts from the manga and im questioning how rai doged it? does rai have to constantly move at that speed just in case sasuke tries it again?

Raikage is probably constantly strafing and running so Sasuke can't focus on him. In that last panel, Sasuke wasn't even looking at Raikage's direction because he lost him from his line of sight.

oh one answer that i could come up with is that rai got info on how amaterasu works..that sasukes eye bleeds before it happens

so as soon as sasuke bled from the eyes rai starts to move very fast

superninja

Could be the info, if he knows about amateratsu he knows not to the stay still. But the funny thing is Sasuke could have ignited him when he tried chidori, if he used amateratsu instead he would hit him coz they were both charging at each other..doesn't make sense..

sasuke couldn't use amaterasu when he used chidori cuz it would get himself as well

kluang

Rai starts move fast when Sasuke eyes turns MS

this chapter was really awesome showing someone like raikage dodging amaterasu.

lol or he coulda just done at right at the beginning before rai went supersaiyan but that would make the fight boring

big moves always come at the end

what myth said above...

but if that doesn't sink your boat then think of it this way...

when any series continues on long enough things change and that goes with techniques and moves.
they may be 'bigged up' and blown out of proportion and made to seem perfect and unbeatable earlier on but inevitably the longer the series goes then the more the likely it is that they will be brought down a peg or two.
its happened in naruto before its happened plenty in bleach and more or less everywhere else...

i think that answer is in that armor of his and how exactly it works, obiously amaterasu first needs to burn through that armor, so maybe raikage moved right at the moment that he saw flames and that part of armor that flames chought have burned and then continued to the next thing that was in front of sasukes MS witch was that samurai (talking about being in the wrong place at the wrong time XD)...

and it was already said in manga that amount of chakra that raikage use is huge, and so far he used only that armor, so what im trying to say is that maybe he is constantly creating that armor - something like nejis whirpool that is always on...

well im pretty bad in explaining things in english but i hope u understand what im tring to say ^^

Shrike

Amaterasu appears 5 meters in front of the caster, and quickly hits the victim. As long as your eyes are on the target, Amaterasu will hit the target, it's unavoidable.

However, Raikage's speed is on such levels that Sasuke can't follow him with his Sharingan, so Amaterasu misses (and hits random samurai, lololololol).

Servo

Lol, those samurai were really disappointing. I was hoping they would exceed fodder level for at least a little while. Nope, they can't even fight their way out of a goddamn wet paper bag.
