Huh? The molecules hitting the ice in order to change its temperature doesn't count as physical damage?

- naruto rationalist romance armageddon is looking better and better damn you kishimoto explosions everywhere explosives solve everyone if in doubt surrender to the mercy of zabuza it seemed like a good idea at the time looks like a really bad case of being a jōnin my god. where does the lore end? precommitting is the winning plan screaming in kagome screw the rules i have explosives something bad might still happen sometimes you gotta sociopath stabby zabby subsection c of paragraph 9 should include we can weaponize this so hard

Clearly the 5sb is flawed and inferior and we need to develop an improved version (i5sb) that will protect from smaller forces/particles.

Haven't we been over this? Bringing molecular physics into sealing makes Kagome sad. You don't want Kagome sad, do you?
...on the other hand, I'm interested in how Akane thinks sealing can be improved.

I think you're being unfair to twentysomething women here. Especially twentysomething women with high sex drives who have had exactly one sexual encounter in the past year.
- Location
- Yes.
So if the ice melts does the whole 5SB shut down or do we end up with a -shape- of water?
What about burning, if we set a 5SB tree on fire would we get a 5SB pile of ash or...?

I'm glad someone else thought of this stuff, I'd be sad if we didn't abuse a throwaway line about how 5SB ice still melts by burning our enemies alive while they're utterly unable to do anything in response.

I kind of want to see Keiko become a genjutsu specialist as she overcomes the downsides of her bloodline...

Mari sketch, cleaned up. Didn't quite work out as I'd hoped for, but at least hands are marginally less terrifying now.

This might be the arc that kills us.
We're wounded, on a strict time limit, about to fight a sealmistress and her bodyguards of unknown ability and number, about to be rushed by Zabuza and a squad of hunter nin, about to be captured by Orochimaru (who is apparently a drug dealer in his spare time), about to be pressed-ganged into the mayor's service, and the prom's tomorrow.

Well, I know which of those I'd be the most terrified about.

- Yes.
I agree, prom is scary.

For the research list:
- does the 5sb hold living things?
- we already know the 5sb holds wood, wood takes a long time to die1, and what we use is probably pretty freshly cut.
- 1sb bullets, that will 1sb things they hit. Providing a nice root for enemies and allow us to burn them to death.
[1]: This is pretty generally true of plants. That salad you ate recently? Most of the greens were probably still happily photosynthesizing. I've done the experiments, and salads are the optimistic example. I've had lettuce in a stew still photosynthesizing at 60% efficiency in a stew that's been cooking for hours. Mind, you can hurt enough of a plant to ensure it will die pretty quickly, but even then it usually takes a long time to die at a cellular level, or even disrupt most internal processes.

xSB items are immobile relative to the earth's center.

Yes, which is why we don't 1sb the bullets. We put the 1sb on the bullet, allowing them to kindly deliver the seal to our target before activating.
- Location
- Yes.
So how does that help, exactly? I'm not sure why you'd want an immobile object in front of a person's body. Or do you mean activate the 1SB after it's penetrated the enemy (I'd then argue an explosive tag would work better)?

You know, at the start of this arc, I was worried about our team being wounded. ...that's the least of our worries, really.

Really nice. You exactly nailed the way I picture her hair.
@Velorien: This right here? This is why we can't have nice things. (Except for Muer'ci's arts, fortunately. We can have that.)

Hey, if the world is conspiring to kill us, we just have to conspire to kill the world right back.Really nice. You exactly nailed the way I picture her hair.

e: I mean, on the plus side, we have the Keiko nuclear option, but that's pretty much going to result in... very, very bad things for her.

Meh, could be worse. At least she isn't making a sealing monster.

Either penetrated or just when it first connects.
It's an immobilization option that doesn't, you know, turn our target into a pile of chunky giblets. Engagements with asymmetrical lethality are going to be a big problem for us in the future.
Also, it can be used as part of traps that attempt to capture rather than salsa trespassers. Not to mention, when combined with PMYF, and a high weapons skill could rapidly generate tacmove options.
Also I asked to put it on the list and not to dropping everything to design it immediately. It's an interesting possibility to consider later.

We'd pretty much need to indebt ourselves to Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the Yamanaka (if they were even willing to touch her) to fix her. Which I'd be down for regardless over a catatonic Keiko, but still.

Ugh, I've had that feeling since this mission began. I am so terrified of fighting a sealmaster.
