Wind > Ligthing. Im talking about the Hien, not the knives themselves. The Hien easily cuts through wood, boulders and steel. In pearcing ability i think both it and Chidori, can at least do some damage to current Gaara. Even tho i totally concead that unlike in Part I, hes got a good shot to edge Asuma out in this instance.
It all boils down to if current Gaara will end up facing any good piercing elemental jutsu or not, for an appropiate comparation.

Well current Gaara is probably at his weakest ever...

since he's a knife fighter and close range combatant, my best guess is that since asuma lived up till this point, his trench knives with wind nature chackra going through them cut many knives and the ninja holding them in half.

You can prove that Kunai are factually made of steel?
Does this need to be proven? The "Kotetsu's Giant Kunai" used against Hidan, arent obviously made of plastic or wood, or something. Despite the name, they are literally giant swords.
Even the standart small Kunai, is made of steel.

They say alot of stuff in the manga's that aren't true, like Kabuto beating Kakashi.
Originally posted by Dark-Jaxxi wonder if that's 100% true though, manga is after all a storyboard for the anime, that's why fillers separate them from catching up.

american comics are completely different, comics are the major canon source (and handbooks), not television/movie adaptations.

Its claims that Kabuto is a rival to kakashi`s overall NIN abilities. The Manga doesnt say he is as good as a figther.
And we got the proof, when Kabuto himself claims how hes not good in the Tai area, for starters.

Wind>Lightning in cutting yeah, but earth for some reason has a NATURAL WEAKNESS to lightning.And if it was never stated to be steel, why assume they are?
Are we talking about the Kunai`s here? Like i said, i need to re-read it, but it would surprise me alot that giant swords, used for bigger attacks, and stabing enemies, wouldnt be made of steel. Every single sword (i.e especially costumed by a nin) in Narutoverse, is so far made of that material..as far as i recall anyway.
Standart kunai, however, is where i totally concead to be likely wrong. They arent used as main striking weapons, usually.

Please, tell me how Asuma would dodge Sand Tsunami?
Because Asuma wouldn't be standing there like an idiot like Kimimaro was, while Gaara was tossing hand seals, nor would Gaara have time to create all of that sand. Asuma is faster then chuunn exam Sasuke (who dummied the sh*t outta genin gaara) Sasuke was landing physical attacks easily against genin Gaara, Asuma should beable to do it as well, but replace Sasuke's fist with Asuma wind element knives.

That was when he was a genin. Now, all he needs to do to create a sand tsunomi is to raise his arms in the air.

Gaara's sand has blocked worse stuff than Asuma's little thing. Ex: Explosions of Deidara's.It doesn't matter which Gaara, the outcome would be the same, with sand tsunami.
