Shiro Takaro

Tutsumi

((Not if the air around him had a consistant removal of water molecules. You have to realize here, I've dealt with very similar arguements, and I've had to judge fights fairly. I know the ins and outs of most elements both in roleplay and real life...heck, I give the science teachers a run for their money when I start getting serious.

Here is the scene:
Shiro stands while performing attacks. Tutsumi removes water from air. Air becomes thin. Shiro can hardly breath the air. Shiro starts to sweat since the process of osmosis and diffusion is in motion and thus it's the same process as if he was in salt water since it's similar concentration techniques (no, not mental conentration). Thus Shiro starts to get dizzy and possibly even go a bit insane and eventually pass out.

As for the lightning:
You still can't avoid that. If anything, electricity normally goes straight through skin and into the muscle. Why do you think you get your muscle all tingly when you stick it into an electrical socket? Same process. Your muscles would of spazmed out and tear your muslces, making it harder for you to move. Eventually, within a few seconds, it would hit a vital organ and overwork it. Thisis usually the heart of brain, and thus the person goes into a coma.))

((Shiro is a student of Kaze. Therefore the removal of H2O from around his body can easily be replenished by a moving mass of air. A.K.A Wind, or Kaze, which Shiro is a student of. As for the Lightning, It would hit the metal plate on Shiro's head, since metal is a much better conductor than human flesh. Lightning also takes the shortest path downwards, which would be down Shiro's arm and into the chain of his Kyoketsu-shogei, which he also grounded. It would not touch any of the vital organs in his chest cavity, and his brain would take minimal effects due to shiro being repeatedly struck by lightning in the past. Shiro is human. Humans can survive lightning strikes, even without Shiro's protective measures. Humans who are unlucky enough to be struck by lightning multiple times notice that the consecutive strikes seem to diminish in power, due to the Human body's ability to change to adapt to climate conditions. One strike will damage the body. The body will repair itself. Two strikes won't damage as much. Three strikes and the body begins to take countermeasures against future strikes.))

((Alright, three days of this is enough, I'm stepping in. As a neutral party, I really have very little idea of what should be happening, because at this point, I couldn't give two sh*ts. A resolution to this argument doesn't look to be anywhere near, so, in this particular case, Tutsumi has seniority and what he says goes for this post, What Tutsumi says goes. End of story, I don't want to hear any more argument over this point, just collect your gains & losses and move on))
