Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sigeric, Natsuo thought, was truly an arrancar of the expected and unexpected intentions. A regular arrancar judging him by his size and his actions would assume that his brawn made up for his muscle. But throughout the fight, Sigeric has shown his true intelligence and skills as able to think quickly on his feet, in countering Natsuo’s moves with his strength. Unfotrunately, Natsuo had already begun to stop playing around since his last attack on Sigeric. This action of Sigeric’s, was certainly not anticipated, but was planned.

“With a quick static like sound Sigeric appeared, standing right on top of Natuso...”

Natsuo heard the large thump on top of the ground and the rush of energy, which was 5 ft above him. Instantly, Natsuo’s head began to tick like a time bomb. His face showed as he began to grow anxious, smirking to himself, thinking,” Come on…I want you to stab me…” Natsuo’s tantos quickly took position, 5 inches under ground, and 5 ft away hidden within the sand aimed at Sigeric’s scar on his back.

The clones reacted to Sigeric’s new location by looking behind them, to see Sigeric was there, angry as ever. They tried to attack, only to serve as distractions to slow him down, but were ineffective as Sigeric’s hierro protected him. So once Sigeric arrived, they exploded and swirled up around Sigeric.

”Not even taking his time to make this dramatic, for he was too angry now, Sigeric stabbed his Zanpakto through the ground to where Natsuo was supposed to be…”

Natsuo allowed the zanpakto to stab him, technically. The farther the zanpakto passed through the sand, the more off target it went. This happened because Natsuo used his telepathic powers to forcefully push the sword slightly away with the sand as it got deeper into the ground. But this small detour of direction to the right was insignificant since it managed to cut a piece of Natsuo’s arm. Natsuo winced, and then smiled because he knew this needed to be done, to fool Sigeric into thinking that the job was done. The problem is that the sword was longer than anticipated, which gave off more blood, but did no life-threatening fight damage to it.

As Sigeric was in the middle of thrusting his blade into the ground the same thing that happened to him earlier happened again. This time more severe. As the sand held fast on Sigeric's sword, one of the tantos shot out from the ground like lightning towaards Sigeric's scar and could penetrate through Sigeric’s scar till the tip of the blade could be seen from the other side. Natsuo knew this would hurt a lot. So before Sigeric could stab the ground again, Natsuo would let the other tantos fly up from the sand and penetrate him in his heart with the same lightning speed.

“3…2…1….I’m recharged…” Natsuo grinned as the sand traveled up the sword and up Sigeric’s feet onto his body.

((ALright I re-did the post)

(( I’m not blasting you, I’m just saying

First, the sharpened pebbles, as you hypothesized were at maximum speed, since they were small, but were projected at a very fast rate. That’s why they did significant damage to your body with minor cuts, even though you had your heirro. So think what a zanpakto blade can do to you, even with your hierro, launched with even 75% of that speed.

Secondly, I believed I posted 5 inches from the ground, not cubic meters. And last time I checked meters is larger than inches, so it was closer than you think.

Thirdly, the sand in the ground creates a force so small on the blade that it is insignificant in slowing down its momentum and overall penetration force. Especially since Natsuo can move the sand out of the way with his mind with no sweat. Sand is not heavy, at all!! If I get a cup of 5 inches of sand, I would be able to throw it at a very high velocity, especially if I can accelerate it with my mind.

Fourthly,tantos is not a knife, it is a fully erect zanpakto capable of great destruction.

Lastly, the tantos blade penetrated your scar, the weakness in your heirro! There is no way my zanpakto tantos, hit only a ‘good portion of muscle to a tiny scratch.’All zanpaktos do great damage if there is a direct hit.

So are you going to change your post?))

((Wowzers....okay...

((Sure, I think every argument deserves an extra opinion

‘Sand is heavy, Riku. I'm a building contractor and my little brother runs a concrete truck.’

This bit of information also makes you a great source for this argument. I am glad to have you on board, but am a bit saddened by whose side you are rooting for. (T.T)

“…Regardless of how much there is or how small it's ground down, it's still rock in the end…”

Well the thing here is that are not comparing rocks, we are comparing sand. Not really good of an argument with your example here, sir. You see, one of the very few differences comparing them is condensing sand together and making it stablize could create a rock, depending on how much sand is use. And decomposing the rock into its simplest form, you get either dirt or sand.

“…That, and you have to keep in mind that sand as fine as the white dust-like sand in Hueco Mundo will have a lot of shock-absorbing power…”

You see, that statement right there affects not only me, but my opponent as well. In my previous post I condensed the sand together into a sharp projectile which I threw at a real high velocity towards his character. Since this sand is special due to its ‘shock absorbing’ power, the impact of the sand should have done even more damage than minor cuts. So I hypothesize...And whats this shock absorbing power is you talking about?

Even if you threw your knives with maximum velocity they would still slow down substantially by passing through the sand grains. Five cubic inches of sand weighs quite a lot. A fifty-pound bag of sand might be roughly a cubic foot, so you're underneath at least twenty or thirty pounds of sand.

This is a very good argument. But unfortunately your fact is wrong, which I think is partly my fault, due to my choice of words. In my second to last post I had said,” Natsuo’s tantos quickly took position, 5 inches under ground, and 5 ft away hidden within the sand aimed at Sigeric’s scar on his back.” When I said, “5 inches underground,” nit only did I mean “5 inches” but I was also talking about the sand. Since 5 inches of sand is equivalent to .1257 meters, the resisting force shouldn’t be significant enough to ‘slow down substantially.’

And while all Zanpakuto do some damage on a direct hit, a zanpakuto thrown blindly using telekinesis from underground would have severely diminished force, since after reading through your post several times I cannot find evidence that you telekinetically moved the sand out of the way.


Technically, you are right, with my zanpakto being thrown ‘blindly’ at Sigeric. But I use the term blindly very loosely since I have an explanation. I did use my telekensis to hit a specific spot. In my post I mentioned of the clones I created exploded and swirled around Sigeric. Through using telekinesis on all of these sand particles swirling around Sigeric I could make out his body structure since I was swirling around him. By doing so I can find exactly where I am suppose to hit. Sicne my character Natsuo, is an analytical fighter, I think he can do this.

ALSO!!! I have another thing to add, If I am allowed to control matter of billions of sand to be fast enough build up a sandstorm, and create boulders to throw at Sigeric the same time, which was approved because my opponent still rped I believe I should be able to push my tantos with incredible speed through 5 INCHES OF SAND towards Sigeric's scar and have good damage.

The only reason I wanted Sigeric to change his post, was because I thought the significant damage I did would hurt him badly, so he may have wanted to dodge that.

Forgive me if I seem very ignorant and stupid, but this is the first Bleach fight I have ever been in. So I don’t know what exactly to do >.<, which is making me mad on how many mistakes I am making. But I’ll defend my post with my life, ignorantly if I have to. So please don’t judge me.))

((Thank you, and I did ^.^))

((since OOC is the in thing right now here I would just like to say the whole "lol I became an Espada and got a huge source of power from a mystical gateway" thing is jaw droppingly stupid so please don't use that to judge whether what he did was justified. A good roleplayer wouldn't use their position to try to win the fight, they would use their skill and experience. Also Arrancar all have super strength far beyond any human. Anyway invalid points aside it is indeed autohitting. Bad Natsuo. Bad.))

((I"ve reposted to make it a non-auto hit))

Natsuo, Sigeric thought, was certainly an Arrancar that was dead, however when a tanto popped out of the ground he was proven wrong. A regular Arrancar would have judged it by the fact that he had just stabbed the ground where Natsuo was and usually, that made people very dead but Natsuo had shown his true survivability and actually managed to divert the attack while underground. This action of Natsuo's was certainly not planned, nor' was it anticipated.

Sigeric flinched slightly from being hit by the Tantos, sure, Natsuo was strong with his psychic powers but he had a huge disadvantage due to being five meters underground, first of all the very fact he was talking while underground meant he had most likely choked himself to death, regardless of how strong his psychic powers were if he had not put proper protection on his mouth when he had begun to speak he would find it filled with sand because when you're underground and you talk that's usually what happens.

In addition to this throwing a knife through five meters of sand is quite difficult, in fact, it's actually really really hard if you don't have a certain amount of distance to throw from. Fortunately however Natsuo did have the slight advantage of his telekinesis which meant he could throw with a certain level of power. However, what above ground would have been enough to pierce Sigeric's heart was not necessarily the same as underground. The difference in force due to the weight of the material on top of Natsuo would have slowed down his throw and lowered it's power so greatly that it would have been next to nothing compared to the power it had originally had. The guard also helped on this part because it increased the surface area. Had the tanto just been a knife with no guard it probably could've stuck into Sigeric but because of the guard it's power was greatly weakened even further.

So, in the end, to be honest it was clear. Natsuo's plans were probably rushed, even if he had drawn up every single scenario he didn't have time to properly prepare for them and didn't have counter plans which logically worked. All of them, a person watching the fight could tell, were drawn up too fast. If anything this proved that Natsuo was probably better if he had time to prepare for the fight and work out his enemy's strengths and weaknesses accurately. The fact he hadn't was a serious disadvantage although it went without saying that he was still dangerous with this disadvantage.

As clever as Natsuo was he had trapped himself and had made plans that just plain didn't work. Earlier Sigeric had been okay to not desecrate his corpse and just stab him through the heart, however, since he had somehow dodged that then there was only one other course of action, that was of course the signature move of Hollow kind. The cero.

The swirling purple orb charged on Sigeric's eye, it didn't take too long to charge, just as long as a normal cero would take to charge. It was complete soon enough. The purple beam pierced through the sand, leaving a huge hole in it's wake, completely annihilating the entire area of sand where Natsuo had been lying. Did he really think all his strategies, all his genius would come to anything if he didn't apply it and think about things? He had started off the fight well but it seemed, as he went on, he had deteriorated and made mistake after mistake. Hiding underground being probably his most fatal as it had already allowed Sigeric to get a serious bit of damage in on him and 'cut off a piece of his arm'. Not that Sigeric knew how big that piece was, it could have been anything from a good portion of the muscle to a tiny scratch.

((I'm assuming when you threw the sharpened pebbles that was the maximum speed you could throw an object. Because of this, that's how I figure that the knife would be insignificant due to the 5 cubic meters of sand above it weighing I don't know how much.))
