This is why we are discussing it. 3nodding



Now despite my earlier statment I feel I should make it absolutely clear that this is not meant as an attack. However I feel I should point out this statement is rather wrong. You have read the POTS rules yet you have applied them incorrectly multiple times in the past (So have I of course, so again this is not an attack). Not only that, but this is not about pure data, he needs to learn how to perform the jutsu. Everyone needs to develop muscle memory, strength etc for walking, running, martial arts, dancing etc. Noone just "knows" how to do it, especially not from reading a book. In fact martial arts books are generally thought of as the antichrist so to speak, since people mislearn things and then are unable to change their habits. Now manipulating chakra is taking this all to the next level.


If you think this is getting out of control, or are feeling attacked, then we can stop the conversation now and I will give you a full apology for making you feel that way. Or if you believe people are teaming up on you then we can move this to PM or toss it into the debate forum.

However unless you find another teacher, or convince me otherwise, I will expect your learning posts to include some form of learning.


Theory versus application, there are still things that need to be figured out. See my previous post.

The point is not as much the speed of learning, he could figure it out pretty quickly (though not perform the jutsu immediately) and still go through some sort of learning.

@Hinote: Actually the flashback post isn't a bad idea, I like that one Hinote.
Also, I was said to be college level in gradeschool as well. That may or may not be just something they like telling promising readers. That also may or may not be because noone else reads so college/university level reading isn't as high as it should be. Or it's possible we are supergenius readers of awesome.

I will have you know I figured out cold fusion in a past life and promptly destroyed such knowledge. And I'm the Avatar.

@ Hinote
Yes, but in order ot get to that Gate, I had only gone through 2 turns before hand, and judging the speed I was going and the angle of the turn necessary, I was able to judge the time needed before the turn, and thusly make the appropriate maneuver. I actually began turning roughly two seconds before hand, placed one hand in the turning posistion two seconds before that, and placed the other in the other turning position a second after the first, and then turned. I'd never read a manual or anything, my driving skills are all explanitory through verbal basis, and occipital from watching as my father drove.

Isn't chakra more willpower than it is body power?

@ Hikaro
I also stated that my comprehension isn't the same ( Atleast I think I did... ) as most people, that's why I don't understand most things that you all reference. I've read the rules, and I comprehend them in my fashion. Once I hear differently, and the rule is explained in detail to me, I fix my comprehension. Simply put, I often misunderstand the rules, but I don't realize this until it is a problem. Like I said with hinote, Isn't Chakra manipulation more willpower than it is muscular? Granted, now that I think about it, Since Laxus doesn't have an intelligence based attribute, he should still have a learning process, so most of my arguement is null and void now. however, I do believe that if Chakra manipulation is more willpower oriented, then it should be easier for the more intelligent.

No, no, that isn't what I thought at all. xD I just didn't think that posts were going to become this lengthy. My speech style is odd, simply because I grew up speaking older english than those around me, and so I was bullied, and now my speech is a mixture of slang and older speech. That's why my writing/typing is often filled with holes and such, I speak fluently ( Aside from the Me/I thing when mentioning another person in the same sentence, occasionally I do mess up on that one, but i was born and raised in a farming community in Oklahoma, so most people mess that up around here. I'm lucky that's the only bad speech habit I have obtained from this rotten podunk(sp?) town I live in. ) in english, so most people don't understand my hesitation to type or to write.

No, no, I've come to the conclusion that since Laxus lacks a intelligence boosting attribute/type, he shouldn't be able to manipulate chakra so masterfully without a trial period. You can expect a learning portion on my next post. ( Although the quality of the learning post might be hard knocked, I'm still not used to them, normally I just describe the technique, not neccessarily the learning process. xD )

Hmmm... When you put it that way, It seems to work in your favor, But what about this.

An Ushio with Tactical, chakra control, and Teaching as the profession. One of the bonuses for the Teaching profession is learning from simply watching the technique. Heck, using that alone, you could completely rid yourself of the Ushio, and of the two types. Granted It is chunnin or jonin benefit, but it is roughly based solely on seeing it preformed ( context ). So as an Ushio with the affore mentioned types, couldn't you ba capable of achieving a similar version, or even with just tactical and chakra control. If you can know the jutsu's basis, and the teacher explain the principles/requirements to utilize the technique, it should come easily, and without practice.

I had a good teacher who taught me how to draw a bow, aim, and loose the arrow in only an hour, and he taught me to hit the bull's eye every time. Now i wasn't very interested, but he taught me in a very simple and comprehensible way. I couldn't do it now even with days of training, I haven't even touched a bow and arrow for months, but give me around 2 weeks, and enough time to my thoughts and application of the techniques, and I could probably recreate the process he taught me, and thusly be capable of working a bow and arrow once more.

The second paragraph doesn't affirm my side, but it shows that once you have knowledge of something, mere memory and trial and error will allow you to recall it. ... Crap, I had this huge train of thought process coming along and I had a superb finisher, and my mind got sidetracked... I forgot wher I was going with this...

Bleh... X.x

It makes my eyes bleed whenever I see it as well.

Nice post in the ramen shop. You created an interesting environment. Would you mind typing up a description for the Denkou Ramen Shop? You could probably reuse most of the description from your post, then just add some notes on the behemoth and speedy assistant. Feel free to post it yourself, just use the document format so it is clear that it is "official".
