Well, getting technical, I have the Senjutsu Chakra in me already and have been saving up for several turns. o.o So basically what Shadow said about Tau and his Sage Mode. I didn't technically need to have it count as an action but I made it look like one because that is just cooler looking << The same with the Bijuu Chakra, both were already in but if you want to count it as an action.. I can just use that as one action and just use one action to put all the chakras into the attack as well o.o Then that settles that. And breaking out of the Genjutsu isn't really an action for me, either, I just made it seem like it was for dramatic effect >> all it takes is for the Bijuu or whatever to run chakra into you and all to break chakra. Which Saiken is doing, with both Sage and Bijuu Chakras. Something that has been happening for several turns now.
If a bijuu/summon is gathering natural energy for you, yes. It will count as an action, since manipulation of that natural energy/senjutsu from an outside/inside source is something that I consider an action and if you disagree with that. Well, I can't argue you to death about it and that decision of it being an action or not will be up to our judge.
Alright, so I'm going to pull some numbers up there. So I am no less than 225 meters in the air, going by your own post because when your barrier extends you personally make note that I am still outside of your range. So I want to say I'm at 300 meters and you'll probably want to say something like 250 meters so hopefully a compromise is 275 Meters. Now I am at 275 meters in the air which is, if I'm not wrong, over two whole football fields long. When you threw your punch at me, it is the second attack in a string of five attacks and each attack is faster and stronger. The first attack is capable of carving a massive and deep tunnel into the ground, but saying that is stretched that whole length from the ground(because you did that from where Jay was essentially) at full power seems sketchy. But, it is the Eighth Gate, so lets say that it does happen to hit me.
That's the thing though. There is no precise elevation to where Athos is located and judging from your reaction from Jay's Ice Pulse that froze everything within the vicinity. You should more higher than what you stated just now or perhaps this will jog your memory: "
He was of course above all the frozen clouds and rain and would just let the people below figure that one out on their own. For now he would watch with his Mind’s Eye, Sage Chakra Sensing, Way of the Fist, and all those other abilities to see how the situation turned out. "
Cloud elevation is at 6,000 meters, man. You stated that you're above that cloud cover, so your numbers are waaaaay off.
The Troposphere is 8 to 15 Kilometers(5 to 9 Miles) and is the closest of the atmosphere from the surface of the Earth. I converted 275 meters into Miles and got 0.170877. Meaning that even at full force, you are claiming that the Eighth Gate enough force from where you are to strike me the other 4.829123 miles(7771.7201253 meters) and then even further? o.o No, I have to disagree. Maybe, MAYBE if it was the higher tier of the attacks, at closer range.. There are just a lot of variables here. But currently, no.
Actually the Troposphere is from 0-12 km and if you stated that you were well above the cloud elevation then you should be well within the range of entering that upper atmosphere. Numbers are way off again, man.
Even if I just say you did damage to me, again with the distances in mind from before, it wouldn't do enough damage to actually stop me from doing anything in my post. But if we really have to debate about it, I'd even go as far as saying your attack lost a lot of it's power on the way up towards me.
I can't say that the attack will power along the way, since that would highly illogical. That's like saying that Daytime Tiger would lose it's attack strength from a far distance. However, that is up to the discretion of Eric to decide if you're right or wrong.
And there's the fact that Kamui's attack can only hit you because of the aid of the nonexistent sensory enhancements the 8 Gates give you. >>
Nonexistent? You're really something aren't ya? 100x buffs, man. Like I said before, if the body is moving at such high rate of speed from the EGRF then it's logical to assume that the brain is doing the exact same thing. You're having all of those gates open and two of 'em are located in the
brain. The brain is technically a organ, but it acts like a muscle, derp.
Funny thing is that you didn't mention that breaking out of a genjutsu wouldn't count as an action, when you were going to have a problem with me doing it in the form of an action. I'm guessing you're okay with Jay breaking out of it, but not me because I am the competition. I don't know anymore.
Just a heads-up, that next post will be *probably* be the last and the five turn regeneration will start applying. The only variable that I would come back after EGRF is that you guys ignore sealing Kamui, which isn't likely to happen.
(If you won't re-post to address these issues, then we will have to wait for Eric's input on all of this and see if there is enough reasons to constitute a re-post.
