Hello, here to clarify some things on Haku’s light-speed statistic, and how it should be tighter and stricter. Before I get into this thread:
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to argue Haku is inferior to any party during the events of the Land of Waves, bar Kyuubi Chakra Influence Naruto. Haku is recurrently stated to be the strongest force by two Jonin level opponents, one of which is the main antagonist and knows his strength better than anyone there. Due to his kind nature and his outright disdain for Shinobi Philosophy, we have, and will likely never, see the full extent of his strength.
Haku’s current speed scaling is this:
“Speed of Light when traveling through ice mirrors (His Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystal technique allows him to reflect through ice mirrors at the speed of light, making it impossible for anyone to counter him. Managed to blitz Kakashi’s Raikiri twice)”
This is fine. However, I suggest it should be strictly changed from reflecting through his Ice Mirror(s), meaning two or higher. Here’s why:
Starting with the databook, it’s said his attacks cannot be dealt with due to his light-speed movements. This is highly consistent:
Here Haku creates one mirror. Then he knocks Sai down. Then he instantly returns to where he started.
That is light speed. Two mirror reflection.
What isn’t light-speed is him moving out of the mirrors, such as:
Haku PHYSICALLY leaving the mirror, and getting HIT by Might Guy and Rock Lee.
Haku PHYSICALLY leaving the mirror, which Sasuke intercepts.
Haku PHYSICALLY leaving the mirror, which KMC0 Naruto evades, and then grabs.
That is not light-speed. One mirror movement.
The anime takes it further, elaborating on my point more. (I also really like the animation here)
In the first segment, Haku, stationary, throws senbon at Naruto, which he promptly reacts to and deflects by sheer decibels alone. Naruto immediately loses sight of him, as Haku reflects to a mirror behind him, while Naruto is left looking for him again. Haku then reflects to dozens of other mirrors, and bombards him with needles. By the time Naruto can even relocate him, the needles have pierced his body, but amount to nothing. Upon one of the mirrors being slashed, Haku physically emerges from one of the mirror shards, and attempts to stab Naruto, and fails. From there, Haku physically tries to move to the next mirror, and is caught.
There is a clear distinction on reflection vs Haku’s movement, which eliminates any inconsistencies, outliers, and prevents scaling issues.
