Is Gaara's sand fast?

[choft]

Hasn't Gaara's sand already blocked Amaterasu?

It's pretty fast, but it couldn't catch 2nd Mizukage's Joukiboy. (damn, manga scan blocked)

Just cause his name you bow to your knees.

I do not fully comprehend what you mean by that, but I can say that I bow to no person. I simply enjoy being an ass. so chillax, lol

[shadedcrow]

im sure the speed of his sand depends on how much chakra he has enfused into it.

[Negative Knight]

I've heard people say that was only "enton"

It was only Enton, Amaretsu manipulation. If he protected against Amaretsu itself, well, he would be able to contend with Minato and other Top tiers without a doubt.

Amaretsu causes flames to materialize anywhere, Gaara's sand can't react to something as instantaneous as that.

Yes, bow to me. Bow to me as if you were the dirt beneath my shoe's.. Lmao.

[amsy]

its pretty fast to me.

Wouldn't his auto defense be on par with body flicker?

Yes, bow to me. Bow to me as if you were the dirt beneath my shoe's.. Lmao.

...

[Negative Knight]

His auto defense needs time to react to whatever attack is sent his way, the only difference being it reacts involuntary and that's why its so highly regarded.

I would say body flicker and FTG outclass his defense's capabilities.

[Namikaze Senju]

gaara's sand is fast and the most amazing is him not even weaving any sign at all and the sand is moving by itself

[zinescience]

fast enough for defence but not for attacks.

Please, don't get me started. Gaara blocked amaterasu and not enton. Sasuke was bleeding from his eyes and he has shown many signs that he used amaterasu, I do not have time to post pictures but you can reread the manga carefully and see for yourself. The translation of course is utterly wrong. And besides that his sand has shown extreme speed when he blocked A's kick only few seconds before he hit sasuke, it was so fast that even the sensor type ninjas, A and Sasuke were startled by the presence of the sand.
Like I said before please read the manga very carefully and you will see what I mean.

Why do you feel the compulsion to comment on every thread concerning Gaara ?

Sasuke's eye was bleeding because first he expelled the flames of Amaretsu and then manipulated these flames as Enton.

I really just feel that I need to say something
Please negative knight you should really study that manga, out of all people you should be able to understand.

[Fanta]

Lee was fast enough to get around it in chunin exams.. so yeah

There's no need, if Gaara could stop Amaretsu and not Enton, Kishi would of made it blatantly obvious to his audience. I'm not underrating Gaara, simply making sure he's not overrated enough for people to think he can stop things which are said to be instantaneous.

[narutokage99]

Gaara blocked an enton not amaterasu .It was used by Sasuke to defend himself.

I still maintain that you revise that manga. Sasuke closed his eye, blood trickled(sign of amaterasu) you could check the sfx near his eye to confirm and then he fires amaterasu which Gaara blocked in one panel, if it was enton which is slower it would have taken more panels. And why do you think the tsuchikage's grand daughter exclaimed, it was due to the incredible speed of both amaterasu and the sand. Just take your time to read the manga, that is all there is to it.

Doesn't make sense, fire is not solid so the sand would have gone right through it although the flames will stick to it.

[lswhyte123]

Gaara's sand is fast.

Shown to be able to block Amaterasu, Rock Lee's speed, etc etc..... and he's only gotten better.

Also, Onoki made it lighter so it's even faster now.

[lswhyte123]

If any of you saw the video in the generations game, it clearly shows Sasuke using amaterasu.

Gaara blocks Joki boys steam explosion from point blank range....with a huge sand wall....it's fast....get over it

Did the sand go through the defensive enton flames in the manga?No
Also sand is stoped by enton.

Please, if you do not understand this easy, straight forward statement, ask someone who does. I do not have time to explain to you.

well the translation is backed by the official viz translation which also says that its enton [1]
also you can see flames on the ribcage of the susanoo, sasuke threw the flames which appeared on his ribcage
