Spirit of DMG Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, I see two possible outcomes for my near future: Being forced away from the internet. Or doing what I'm doing now, and not ever having much else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'd normally suggest to do push-ups, but I'm guessing you've had more than your fair share of those. Got any books up there? I dunno if you're a reader, but it can take you places if you find some really good series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 As a matter of fact, I jut finished [i]The Shadow at Evening[/i] I don't have [i]The Power of the Night[/i] but I do have another book with me. Just got to dig it out of my bag. There's a copy of [i]The Hunger Games[/i] that was laying on a shelf when I got here. That's about to disappear.

Mr.WHAM Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I would read the hunger game but it's too mainstream. JK I lost my copy. My friend also just wrote a book. It's called the 12 if I remember correctly. Now all this Nostalgia has me remembering that my old good habits are leaving me... That'sgotta change.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I just finished reading the Hunger Games series actually. Could've been better, could've been worse is how I feel. But it's decent enough that I'd recommend it to most people. I still can't tell if I like or dislike Katniss though. Don't know what to make of that. And the summary of that series you're reading's intrigued me. I just might have to pick it up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 [i]The Shadow at Evening[/i] was actually very good. I'd recommend you pick it up. And if you manage to acquire a spare copy of [i]The Power of the Night[/i] then let me know. I'll pm you my current mailing address and you can send it to me.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 You've read the Song of Ice and Fire series, right Right? I don't even like fantasy, and for the most part it remain realistic. The craziest it ever gets happens at the end of the first book and in books 4/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yeah sure =P Ah right, the Game of Thrones series. I've heard good things about it, maybe I'll get to it someday. My reading list is going to get too big if I keep talking to you guys, haha. So Jump's on break for a while apparently, that sucks. Right now though, I'm anxious for ScrewAttack to release their Goku/Superman Death Battle. I have no idea who'll win at this point (rooting for Goku), but I'm betting it'll be good. And thinking about that got me thinking about Naruto. 2-3 years ago, most people here would tell you Ichigo's the strongest out of the Big 3 (the old Big 3 that is), but now with Naruto's massive upgrades, I'm thinking he could fight Ichigo on equal grounds. Or at the very least give a kickass fight with Luffy. I can't really tell who's the strongest out of the 3 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 A Rubber Band, a close-range fighter, and a guy who can fire lasers out of his sword, and fly, and move so fast most people can't even see him. Oh, and if he does die, he is revived in the form of an even stronger demon-thing that can fire lasers from its forehead. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.WHAM Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fuse do you think that Naruto has to make an absorbing Rasengan or that it already can happen naturally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Uh probably not for both. Rasengan's made from rapidly manipulating chakra at speeds that make them destructive in nature, it'd be hard to make it absorb chakra since that probably involves some complicated sh*t like manipulating the chakra to try and control the attack being absorbed, in which case it most likely wouldn't be a Rasengan any more and be a completely different move. I'm wondering if we'll get to see "that" jutsu, or if it's supposed to be interpreted as Kurama or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What I am referencing is adding another chakra or energy element like the RasenShuriken or any of the Rasengans that happen during the movie, because if the Rasengan can do that by itself, which it has demonstrated the ability to non-cannonly, then it is completely feasible for to believe a Rasengan absorb a getsuga tensho. I was thinking about that in the Big 3 debate. If Naruto could learn how to use the unnatured chakra nature of the Rasengan more aggressively or technically, then he has the means for a very, very incredible attack. This About a Rasengan that takes on Fire or Lightning chakra and tell me thats not Fearsome to face! I also am led to believe that Healing techniques hold their base in Water or {Grass} chakra nature types. I don't really know how to explain grass but the idea is natures soothers, healers and creators. I also have begun a Poke RP in me sig. Check it out and please ask me any questions you may have.

Spirit of DMG Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 A lightning-based Rasengan would be pretty fearsome to go up against. In fact, I used one for a while in an RP I was in... quite some time ago. As for a Rasengan being able to absorb a Getsuga Tenshou... well, I'm not sure how similar Reishi and Chakra really are, but if they were compatible enough, I would say it's possible. However, to absorb another technique while maintaining the high rates of speed and multiple spinning directions of Chakra required for Rasengan, while also absorbing a technique, especially one based on a different energy-type, would be an insanely high-level technique. Jiraiya [i]might[/i] could pull it off, but Naruto? maybe if he trains on it for an entire year. Seriously, did he really learn anything between the end of the original series and the beginning of Shippuden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't think Rasengan would absorb Getsuga. I'm sure a Rasenshuriken could cancel it out though. Lightning Rasengan would be cool, but it's apparently impossible; Kakashi couldn't mix his chakra with it, remember? Naruto basically learned Giant Rasengan while improving his overall skills such as taijutsu, tactical thinking and Genjutsu cancellation. Though I agree he should've had more of an upgrade during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 The problem with countering Getsuga with a Rasengan is tht Rasengan's delivered with the arm; Naruto would get caught in the explosion. Maybe a sage mode rasengan, though idk if Getsuga would make the whole sphere explode or not. And no no, the problem wasn't his chakra control, it was his nature that couldn't mix well with the Rasengan. And that's what led him to create Chidori.

[/quote] True the explosion is... a bit of of a factor, though if it absorbs then there won't be one. And even though his nature didn't mix well doesn't mean he could not, it would just prove insanely difficult. There's an excerpt of 2 Fics I've read that have Naruto using Fire & Lightning Rasengans. Of course in both of these fics Naruto is for all intents and purposes immortal, but thats the authors explanation. After the war, he might have time to develop more justu & delve more into Chakra natures. It would be awesome to see that he tries too. But that's getting too similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Kakashi may not have been able to pull off a Lightning-Style Rasengan, but that doesn't mean it isn't impossible. Remember, before the 4th invented to Rasengan, it was presumed impossible to use any jutsu without first using handsigns. And before the Sand developed their reanimation Ninjutsu, it was presumed impossible to revive the dead.So, even though Kakashi failed to make a Lightning-Style Rasengan doesn't mean that someone else, perhaps with a high level of talent at Lightning-Style Jutsu, wouldn't be able to accomplish this feat. Remember, way back at the beginning, when Naruto was on his first mission, and he met Haku? Remember what Kakashi told him? "There are Ninja both younger than you... and stronger than me."

Spirit of DMG Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I recall Granny Chiyo saying that the Sand Village, specifically the Pupetmasters, had been developing a jutsu to bring their puppets to life. Ultimately it was classified as Forbidden because it was fatal to use. Now, what was this idea you had? I wanna know what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I guess you guys have a point. Hard to see anyone doing it if Kakashi of all people couldn't though. We'll probably see Konohamaru doing Fire Rasengans down the line... Remo, there are now 3 people gunning to hear what you said, you gotta spill.
