Originally posted by NonSensi-Klown1. A. too bad the explosion was nowhere near "city destroying." Hell, the Sand Village isn't even a "city", it's a village, and from what we saw, the bomb would not have even destroyed that. B. Thin? MY. ASS. It was AT LEAST 10 feet thick, probably more, and like I said, the explosion was not that big. If his shield was concentrated? Sandman's fists can easily shred through reinforced steel and more, he can condense his fists to make class 100 blows, that is at least twice as strong as Tsunade. If his shield is concentrated, he will just be expending more chakra, whereas Sandman will never get tired.
Irrelevant because A) Sandman's attacks are nowhere near on the level of a city destroying bomb. And B) The sand was also spread thin across the entire blast radius,and still did not break. Logic dictates that anything spread over a long distance will have a weaker integrity then something that is not spread thin but is concentrated. Gaara will not have to spread his sand defense nearly that far apart to defend himself against Sandman's punches. That being the case, if his shield was concentrated it should be able to easily absorb the force of his punches.Which doesn't really matter because he can enact the shield incredibly fast, and he won't need a shield that strong to protect himself from his blows since Sandman's blows aren't as strong as a bomb that size. He wouldn'tneed to use nearly a much chakra.
You're right. All I had remembered was that there was a big ass explosion.
Sandman controls his sand in the same manner, does he not? 😬 I've never seen Sandman's sand act on it's own will. He takes inanimate sand and manipulates it around him to do various things. Not sure about that exactly though. Irregardless, can you prove that Sandman can resist a chakra fueled attack on his control of the sand? It is essentially his supernatural control versus Gaara's.
This is assuming that A) Sandman gets to all of that sand before Gaara takes control of his share. B) Sandman can build himself up that high and still function normally. You'd have to provide proof for that, as he's fought on a beach before and never done that. C) Gaara doesn't just float higher up or (For the lulz) He decides to just float over the water. lolZ.
You and I have been over this before, man.
Live. 😐
And another possibility: Is there any reason to think that Gaara can not control sand that is wet? If there isn't I don't see why he can't just use the equivelent of a sand avalanche that's made entire out of sand from the water. It'd essentially be a tsunami of wet sand which would in turn weaken Sandman's sand composition and he'd turn into mud... and we've all seen what happens when he turns into mud.
2. He enacted the shield by shooting sand in the direction of the bomb, he has never enacted a shield that large or strong very quickly for his own personal protectiong, and like I said, he will be expending WAY too much chakra for practical use. And like I said...The bomb blast was like...100 feet in diameter at best, it is not as strong as you like to pretend it is, Sandman can make his own body bigger than that. And if he makes himself say...100 feet tall, Sandman would be physically strong enough to CRUSH Gaara and any shield.
3. YAY! I won something! What do I get? 🙂
But I know why you though that, Deidara's suicide explosion against Sasuke did in fact have a Mushroom Cloud.
4. Not really, it is literally part of his own body. He controls it as we would our arms and legs, actually, he has greater control than that. Sandman's sand is under his full control. No, like how you can't prove that Gaara's sand is immune to Gaara. Which is why I say neither of them can control eachother's sand.
5. A. Well IMO both just collect all the sand they can, Sandman by absorbing it. B. Why could he not? He absorbs sand to add to his mass...That's one of his most basic powers. He would just need to stay out of the water, and given the sheer size of most beaches, that should not be a problem. C. Which would do what? It will separate him from the sand he needs to control. Which would screw him.
6. Gaara has to stand on solid sand. Solid sand that Sandman can stand on. And that will COMPLETELY fvck Gaara up because he will be separated from the sand on the beach, and will be defenseless to the powerhouse that is Sandman.
7. Any proof he can? Wet sand does not hold together well and is not easiloy controlled, even by a living elemental like Sandman. The sand once out of the water won't be sand...It would be mud just as you said. 😐
