The properties of gold aren't speculation.
And anyway, for ratings we definitely don't assume unshown weaknesses, so even if you think it's the case, rate as if it's not.
Just the same as Sasuke using electricity to disable the microscopic clay bombs, the same with it intefering with Yondaime Kazekage's ability to use magnetism to manipulate the gold.
Clay bombs were earth jutsu with known vulnerability. Magnet element is something else entirely with no known chakra or RL vulnerability.
In fact, it makes more sense that electricity would do better at disrupting than it does at disabling earth based bombs.
Electricity doesn't disrupt magnetism.
Danzo is as fast or almost as fast as Sasuke based on feats. This is not up for debate, actually. I'm not sure why it would ever be up for debate as it is fairly set in stone.
When? What speed-thing did he do? He clashes swords, but that doesn't require equal speed.
They did not meet halfway, not even close.Maybe a 10th of the way.
Check the manga again. Gaara started at really far out. A conversation took place between the zombies, and near the last moment, he used his gold to destroy Gaara's Sand's inertia.
Looks half way to me, or closer to Gaara if anything.
The initial tsunami, was not propelled at the same time, Gaara's was en route well before Gaaradad's, so I was talking about this incident.
Also note that when Gaara did attacks aimed at the other two Kage, Gaaradadwas able to block for both of them too, even them being some distance from him.
I was thinking more about it disrupting his ability to manip combined with speed. Also, since it's so fine, it will arch all over the place and make him shake like Michael J Fox. (The really fine dust particles, just the same as with sand, will create many different paths.)
If he has the gold at some distance like him, like he's been showing doing, then it still won't touch him.
And there's no evidence of disrupting the ability.
I don't see it that way.I see Gaara being faster with his sand that his father and being able to grab him before he can react. If his father reacted in time, he could have easily knocked off the sand with his heavier gold sand.
Gaara never got him with fast attacks though. The grabs were entirely with Sand that was already right next to him, less than a foot away. The big grab was when Gaaradad was blocking sand hail as well.
Also, he got Raikage and Mizukage the exact same way. Are they both slow too?
And that Bijuu was "defeated" by a genin and one giant summon.
Note they only woke up Gaara, making it go asleep again. They didn't subdue it's hostless form, they just made it so they didn't have to fight Shukaku.
