Well, thats one way.
Another way (if you want to kill the guy) is to just stack LBFs and explosives in some sort of sandwich like pattern, tie together with ninja wire and then tossing them up in melee distance of the guy before retreating underground as fast as you possibly can.
I dont have much faith in anyone dodging ~100 zone wide explosives point blank unless you roll around with the S-ranks/ have some Spacetime bullshit. Although I suppose if you were quick on the draw with a good repulsion technique (Wind Style: Go Away no Jutsu!, Rinnegan Bullshit: Shinra tensei!) that would work just fine.
But we aren't trying to kill the guy.

Nah, I figure we'll wing it. If Hazou can take it, I'm sure he can tooShould have had a Speech Plan component asking Kenji in excruciating detail which parts of him you could blow up without killing him

Win or lose, we'll have something far more interesting to start planning about, I'm sure.

Aye. Specifically, what is Hazou going to pick when he and Keiko rock-paper-scissors to determine who wins the next match, as a way to snub Mist?

Are there any ways of remotely triggering a seal, currently?

Depends how you mean 'remote', but for most definitions, no.

Is it a safe bet (from our perspective) that Jiraiya would have offered any easy neutral-ninjutsu methods thereof he knows?

If we get to fight Keiko, I think we should agree that Hazou is the only one who gets to overuse explosive tags. Keiko should only get like 10.

So what I'm getting from this, in my mind's eye, is that we all need to purchase Stunts to allow us to perform Combat Drifting while riding Pangolins.

You seem to be under the impression we intend to let her use explosive tags.
J will if we don't. Although I don't really feel a need to be stingy here. It's not like we can't beat her when she's using tags.

Erm. That's not what I meant. Give her all of the explosives.
She either won't get the chance to use them or we'll be out of the fight immediately.

My consideration is that overwhelming explosive power is Hazou's aesthetic. We want to have stylistic differences during our fight.
Plus this underscores how we are a sealmaster and she is a summoner. Better propaganda no matter who wins.

I'm pretty sure blowing ourselves up makes for a pretty neat aesthetic. Doubt we have to worry about that one.

BOOM! (Not-)Squish.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure why initiative doesn't involve a roll. It does weird things like this. Although I suppose not having to roll initiative is a good enough reason.

From a simulationist perspective its probably a "In general, how on the ball are you?" type thing. So you'd want flat Alertness, I guess.
