Didn't read it all. :| You missed this part.Ey, nice additions to the properties of Sound. The two elements are lightning and wind, more than likely using the vibration-properties of lightning to vibrate air, as sound waves are vibrating air.
I plan to use it more supplementary than offensively. While the destructive ways are cool, the Hindering Sound Waves are my favorite and the kind I see as having the most potential. Combos with clones to hinder the opponent as the real body delivers attacks during these windows of weakness would be the main focus of my usage of Sound.
I'll make it up to you, I promiseOh my god, you dropped me after 12 hours?
Oh right, I can't believe I forgot this xDDidn't read it all. :| You missed this part.
What do you think are strengths and weakness of sound? Like what is it weak against and what is it strong against?
Got it, bit of a long read yeah, but also interesting. Here I thought Sound traveled fastest through liquids xD Got itCorrect, perfectly.
The following bit is a bit of a read, but it's worth it. Things may be repeated slightly but that's okay. I didn't write this, Wesobi did I'm using it as it is very good and explains everything.
First of all, a frequency is measured in Hertz. A frequency in theory is how many waves pass a certain point in a certain amount of time. So, basically, the lower the interval, the higher the frequency.
Now, the cool thing is, adjusting the frequency. A higher frequency is a higher pitched tone, while a lower frequency is a lower pitched tone. If you listen to music and hear the bass, the frequency is lower. You can also feel it in your body a lot more than high frequency tones, because generally those are harder to perceive in the first place. The neat thing is, that this allows us to alter the effects of sound techniques by altering the frequency. That being said, you probably see how versatile sound actually can be, and how it can create different effects. Even if you can't hear something, the sound waves are still there and can still have effects on your body
humans can only hear certain frequencies, or a range in between 2 frequencies. Generally, this is about 20 - 20 000 Hertz. Now, as you grow older, your body gets older as well, and you start to have trouble hearing high frequency tones. This is why younger people generally hear a lot better than old people. I was wondering if you speak in a lower voice, if people with hearing problems would understand you better, but I'm unsure (though it makes sense).
This does not mean that higher/lower frequencies do not effect the body! Remember that!
About the ultrasonic: Ultrasonic are simply sounds above 20 kiloHertz (20 000 Hertz) and thus above what humans can actually perceive. Other animals, like dolphins and dogs can perceive these (think, the dog whistle). These range from 20 KiloHertz into several MegaHertz. This is also what they use for sonograms (you understand what this is?) and such. Infrasound is the opposite (below 20 hertz)
Oh, one more thing I'd like to add, and this is particularly useful against Mugi's Radio Frequency/Wave CE. Low frequency sound waves generally move easier through rocks/earth than higher frequency ones. Think about your cellphone, when you move through a tunnel, the reception sucks.
Now, realize that sound can move through any medium. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Though we needs some sort of limitations, and it's reasonable to say wind is a good counter to sound if it can be seen (doujutsu) or heard, but at that point it might be too late (depending on how a technique is used and how the effects are). Earth, however, depending on the situation (and the level of understanding of the usage by the opponent) can be a devastating counter as well.
Now, look below:
-Speed of sound:
solid > liquid > gas.
Sound moves fastes of all through solids. Generally, this is because the particles and atoms in earth are more tightly packed than they are in liquids or gas. So, the closer the atoms/molecules, the faster sound moves.
- Elastic properties
There is a catch in between different solids. Sound moves faster through rigid solids (i.e. steel, iron) than other things like jelly. This is because solids that are rigid generally mean that the atoms and molecules have a much stronger force of attraction towards each other than in other solids. This is because of the fact that, once moved, they move back to their original position/form more quickly (and thus resulting in a much higher vibration speed). jelly in this case has much weaker attraction between the molecules, that's why it's so "elastic" (not to be confused with elastic properties), and much more flexible.
- Density
Next to this, there is the density. Now, more dense substances = more mass. More mass=bigger molecules. Because sound is based on kinetic energy that travels from one point to another, moving through denser objects means it has to use more energy, seeing as it has to move (vibrate) larger molecules. This however is used for substances with the same elastic properties.
To explain this take two examples with nearly the same elastic properties. Gold and aluminum (Gold = 10.8 psi; aluminum = 10 psi). While they nearly have the same elastic properties, gold is much denser, so it will travel faster through aluminum than gold.
Another funny thing is, this effect does not quite work the same in gaseous media.
Let's say it's hot hot hot in one side of the room, and cold cold cold in the other side. The logic explanation is that sound would move faster in the cold air (since it's denser), but that isn't the case!
Heat, like sound is a source of kinetic energy. More heat = More kinetic energy = more energy for the sound. This leads up to the fact that they can vibrate faster in hot air.
Let's begin.Got it, bit of a long read yeah, but also interesting. Here I thought Sound traveled fastest through liquids xD Got it
making you my sigOh my god, you dropped me after 12 hours?
Sonic Fist reminds me a lot of a combination of Whitebeard's powers and Tai Lee's Chi-blocking xD You focus Destructive Sound waves into a limb and condense them to a form capable of physically interacting with a target. Upon impact, it resonates through them, as sound waves travel through a target, with the unraveling of the Sound waves and their high energy causing damage to the point of impact. The damage to the muscles causes them to become unusable due to the high pain for a short period of time, effectively acting as paralysis. It reads like a Hindering Sound wave, but due to having high energy and low frequency, it does so through physical interaction instead.Good next:
(Ototon: Oto no Ken) - Sound Release: Sonic Fist
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers chakra either around their fist, arm, or leg and then charges towards their opponent. Upon utilizing an attack involving the aforementioned limb, it causes a release of sonic vibrations (of a low frequency but with a high amplitude) that act as a secondary strike, making the opponent unable to use the body part that has been hit for 1 turn. This happens because the sound vibrations damage soft tissue by resonating within the water molecules that reside within it. The effect is similar to a localized explosion upon contact that rips through the targeted area and creates a shockwave that blasts the target backwards. The skill is exceptionally useful if used against solid techniques such as those from Earth Release (or similar) which will shatter upon being hit.
This pretty much enhancing your taijutsu with sound chakra. Hitting your opponents limb, will cause them to not use it for a turn. This technique can also can be used against solid techniques.
(Ototon: Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Echo Assault Skill
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers his sound chakra into his throat as he inhales afterwards exhaling as he screams, yells or roars. The resulting effect is a massive forward shockwave of low frequency, high amplitude sound that levels anything in its path. Despite weakening as it travels, its faster than most wind or lightning techniques and can still be defended from. If used within a water source it receives +20 damage.
Any form of loud noise that you can produce with your voice, will do. Releases a shockwave of sound. It gets weaker the further it travels. Extra damage if used in water.
(Ototon Genjutsu: Funka to Botsuraku) - Sound Release Illusionary Art: Eruption and Downfall
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user charges Ototon chakra into his hands and snaps his fingers, triggering a genjutsu through the emission of high frequency sound waves. As he snaps, the sound is amplified, sounding as if it is directly by the enemy's ear. To them, it sounds as if something has just snapped in half. The user then manipulates the illusion to make it appear as if either a large branch has fallen from a tree or the ground under them has broken clean in half, causing the target to believe they are falling through the earth or have been struck with a large object, pushing them to the earth. The user has control over the illusion, being able to make it seem as if entire trees have been snapped in half, falling on the target or as if an earth structure has collapsed either above or beneath the opponent, etc. The illusion can be edited to fit the situation and even the sound can be slightly altered deepening on the object that is "snapped". Is more effective depending upon the terrain this is used in ( extremely effective in a forest, not effective in a desert ).
Now one of the few sound gens, you snap your fingers together. Which produce sound waves that will go directly into your targets ear. The gen will make them think something above or below them has snapped in half, causing panic. Above, a large tree branch or below the earth has broken clean under them, can be one of these two options, depending on how your explain it. Obviously this technique is only good depending on your terrain.
By inducing a high frequency, low energy Sound wave into the target's ear, the technique creates a constant buzzing. Because the Sound wave is high in frequency, meaning it consists of many individual waves, its effects are prolonged, with each of its many waves sustaining the buzzing effect. By taking root in the enemy's ear itself, the buzzing remains in immediate proximity, with the amplified nature of the Sound from the Ototon chakra increasing its intensity to the point that it drowns out the target's ability to hear most things that aren't the buzzing. Similar to if a loud sound, like a gunshot or explosive, goes off right near your ear and creates a sustained ringing noise, with the buzzing being kind of similar to the ringing that drowns out other sounds.You got it, remember to ask questions if you got any.
(Ototon: Teisei Tame Inu) - Sound Release: Whispers to the Canines
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user gathers Ototon chakra in his vocal chords. He then whistles, releasing a high frequency sound wave, creating a sound similar to a faint buzzing in the target's ear, similar to Ringing Madness. However, instead of causing a foe to become disoriented, it impairs his hearing, making the buzzing the only thing that he can hear, seeming as if the target has bees swimming around his ear. The buzzing drowns any sound out, unless they are exceptionally loud (i.e. great explosions, one yelling directly into the target's ear, etc), making it very difficult for the target to hear incoming jutsus or attacks.
Note: Hearing impairment lasts 3 turns
This one pretty much impairs your targets hearing. How does it do that?
(Ototon: Himei Zetsubou no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Scream of Despair Skill
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: Similar to the (Ototon: Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Echo Assault Skill, the user concentrates chakra into their vocal cords, amplifying his/her voice and lets out a scream, roar or a yell. The effect is a large emission of low frequency, high amplitude sound waves but instead of a forward attack, its manipulated into an omnidirectional sound blast that expands outwards all around the user, pushing attacks and enemies backwards with might.
Pretty much Echo Assault Skill just much shorter range, and an omnidirectional blast.
(Ototon: Ōkī Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Greater Echo Assault Skill
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: This is a much greater and focused version of the (Ototon: Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Echo Assault Skill technique in which the user gathers his sound chakra into his throat as he inhales afterwards exhaling as he screams, yells or roars. The resulting effect is a massive forward shockwave of low frequency, high amplitude sound that levels anything in its path. Unlike its weaker technique, the massive power it carries makes it slightly slower, equal to an average equally ranked Raiton technique. Unlike the unfocused nature of its weaker version, its focused almost like a beam, affecting an area of 50º in front of the user. If used within a water source it receives +20 damage.
Same as the other one with a slight change, it's more like a beam and affecting 50 degrees in front of you. And it is slightly slower then a lighting technique. Compared to the other one where it is faster.
A rather simply explained, but intricately executed technique, you create multiple waves of Sound of different frequencies around your person that remain rather focused and stable in tandem with each other. When you clap your hands, it triggers the sound waves to collide, releasing them from their previous stability. This instability causes the sound waves to be propelled as a shockwave capable of pushing anything in front of the user within a certain radius, damaging them but not destroying them.Good.
(Ototon: Kireme Yure) - Sound Release: Shattering Vibrations
Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user gathers a large amount of sound chakra into both of his hands, creating a vibration field around them that resonates at different, yet low, frequencies. The user will then slam both hands together, forcing them to resonate with each other and explode. This creates a massive sound shockwave that pushes back anything in front of the user in a 160º radius.
Everything up to 160 degrees radius will be pushed back in front of you, by simply clapping your hands releasing a massive shockwave. Handy for those higher then B-rank techniques, so it can only push back A-rank and below. Again doesn't destroy them.
(Ototon: Jakkuhanma) - Sound Release: Jackhammer
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (60 if contact with the ground remains)
Description: The user charges Ototon chakra into their feet as they run, releasing it as each foot hits the earth and makes sound. As each steps sound off, low frequency waves are released, each wave causing an immense vibration to propagate through the ground and into any enemy, making their bodies lose balance as the waves collide with the target repeatedly. As the waves continue to hit the target, the vibrations increase and cause internal pain, almost as if each wave is drilling into the target's body, causing the target to also become nauseous from the continuous waves. Despite its danger, the technique can easily be defended by simply severing ones contact with the ground.
Pretty much releasing sound as you run, or run on the spot. Every time your feet leave the ground they release sound hitting your intended target causing internal damage, and they get worse and worse as time goes by and as long as you are running.
(Ototon: Takanari Kichigai) - Sound Release: Ringing Madness
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, gathering their sound chakra into their throat and emitting a sound (anything from a simply whistle to speaking or screaming, etc), creates a high frequency wave that targets a foe's ear, causing this portion of sound to remain in their opponents' ears, manifesting as a building ringing sound. The ringing continues to grow as time progresses, originally disrupting how a person hears hampering their ability to think clearly. From that point, it starts to mess with their balance until they become incredibly disorientated, and unable to mold chakra properly due to this.
Note: Lasts 8 turns and reduces damage of the jutsu used against the user by -5 until this effect wears off while increasing the chakra cost of every technique the enemy uses by +10
Now this technique is badass. I will let you explain it, and I will pick up on any errors you may have explained.
