OK, Brolys here. Broly, I want you to give them a demonstration of Keigoku being offensively, then a supplementary.
I wouldn't dare try and categorize Keigoku like it was a form of Yin or Yang Chakra, cause back when this Clan was Approved, Yin and Yang were concepts that were barely known about, or to be more specific, took a different form when compared to the current knowledge of Yin and Yang. Personally, and I said this in my clan app, I look at Keigoku and more or less see a type of "Physical Genjutsu". When you break it down, Keigoku passes through solid matter (the limit to how much it can pass through without affecting it is tied to one's Rank in the Clan), yet causes "physical" or real pain in the form of severe mental trauma, the likes of which can cause paralysis and even turn the unfortunate recipient of a Keigoku technique into a brain dead vegetable thanks to the overwhelming pain caused by Keigoku coming into contact with someone not from the Clan. High Ranking Genjutsu possess similar effects, though not as concentrated, especially when a Nekura's damage is increased by Ranking up in the Clan. The way the damage is inflicted, combined with the fact that it passes through solids leads me to the conclusion that the Nekura's Keigoku is more or less Physical Genjutsu, or to be more specific since Keigoku is "intangible", more like Genjutsu in a Ninjutsu form that can be utilized in ways similar to Ninjutsu, like the above example which is even named as though it were a Jutsu derived from the Lightning Element. That's what I personally think Keigoku is.Lord of Kaos said:I want to know what YOU think Keigoku is.
Even I knew it was your favorite, its one of your most used techniques in your fights.How'd you know it was my favorite one? It's actually my favorite our of all the ones I know so far
......Even I knew it was your favorite, its one of your most used techniques in your fights.
I didn't ask for a summary of the clan lol. I asked what do you think Keigoku is.read the whole daym CC history again, so Nekura literally translates to "Dark Natured" which I didn't really know until I googled it u_u
The abilities of the Nekura revolves around the summoning and advanced control of the Juubi's foul and corrupted chakra which is known by the Nekura as the keigoku, it twists the users mind corrupting it, this gives us the ability to reject all forgein chakra, so which means gejutsu's become ineffective against the Nekura clansman as well as medical ninjutsu (3 times harder was it?) as well as sage mode. The keigoku chakra is warped from the moon and summoned to Earth through a portal which enables the Nekura clansman to open a portal on the battlefield itself, anywhere on the field is possible. Opening a portal does not count as a move, also the nekura robes all able to block out swords, kunais, shurikens the robe is pretty much the same as a chainmail..that's all that I know.
My bad, it was a quick read on my phone lmaoI didn't ask for a summary of the clan lol. I asked what do you think Keigoku is.
And of course I knew that Broly. z.z
Interesting idea, though one thing I should point out is that the mechanics of the clan are always evolving as the manga evolves; Keigoku in it's simplest form is Bijuu chakra, or more specifically, Juubi chakra. Initially, it was though that this chakra only existed as a legend and deity like entity that didn't exist anymore. We later learned that this is somewhat true, except now everyone has Juubi chakra ( more or less, anyway ) and that it is the true primordial source of chakra. I'll explain more below.Taking the Nekura Cloak, emblazoned with the white symbol of the Nekura Clan, the Morrigan puts it on and prepares for what comes next.
OOC: Nekura Cloak is simply a fancy piece of clothing that prevents one's death from the weakest objects in the RP. It would have been epic if it was more like a Chakra Cloak, but made from Keigoku, but I guess there's a limit to the clairvoyance associated with this Clan. xD

Nice, nice. Keigoku isn't treated as Natural Energy, however; it can be seen as a form of Bijuu chakra that has special intangibility abilities.Considering what we learned from the manga, I would've said it was Natural Energy because the Juubi is just a mass of Natural Energy. To add further to this, we have seen the affects Natural Energy has on Jugo due to his body constantly amassing the energy. It makes him lose control of his mind and go on rampages, similar to the effects of being exposed to Keigoku but, the clan was created long before we learned that so I'm gonna say thats wrong.
I was always under the assumption that Keigoku was similar to the chakra used to create the Tailed Beast Ball, different ratios of Yin-Yang chakra mixed together to create a 'new' type of chakra. The reason for this is because when I used to read the clans submission, I vaguely remember that in the history, it said the Juubi used its strongest attacks in its battle with the So6P and its the lingering chakra from those jutsu which entered the mans body and burned the mark of the demon onto him. At the time the clan was created, we had already seen the Tail Beast Ball and I'm assuming that was what Emp had in mind when he created the clan.
Yes, everyone's cloak holds the same level of power.*Souji gets splashed with water, eye twitching. Before he can lash out at Broly, sensei gives him his Nekura cloak. Like a kid in a candy store, he quickly forgets his humorously murderous intentions and grins as he puts the cloak on...*

^Yes! Thank you, based Juubi.
Impy's explanation is really out there and thinking beyond the box, and it makes sense too. I personally have a more orthodox view, similar to Lee's. Nekura cloaks block weapons that aren't chakra infused, so I'll definitely be trying to rush in and attempting to get myself stabbed by pointy kunais and swords for practice. I assume that's all it can block... does it strengthen upon ranking up in the clan itself, or does the head still have the same sacred immunity as us greenhorns? U_U
Back to Keigoku, I also think it's the Juubi's chakra as Natural Energy. The portals are a way of summoning the Energy from the beast's body in the moon. I like how it's all dark and broody and enhances your techniques, which is what's expected from it. In a way, I think each Nekura clan member is akin to Sora from the anime, a pseudo-jinchuuriki... or the Gold and Silver brothers if we're talking canon. We use the chakra of the Juubi without actually being its hosts, victims recipients of its power. We are its (Juubi's) extensions, using the chakra and twisting it to our needs.
Well, the explanation that me and Dork created through a series of talks early last year is related to Yin and Yang but not directly. Below is an excert he wrote about Keigoku:My bad, it was a quick read on my phone lmao
well then I pretty much agree with what lee said...different ratios between yin/yan chakra creating a new type, that's what I think keigoku is.
The portion in bold is something that that is very noteworthy and should be remembered; it forms the basis behind the Irish reasoning of the clans inner workings and the separation between Juubi Malleable Chakra ( or as we dubbed it, JMC ) and Keigoku. Now, adding on to that bold portion. Keigoku can indeed be viewed as an altered form of the JMC that is canon. As per definition, Keigoku is a space/time utilized chakra source, using it through summoning. A sort of "yin summoning" one could say, somewhat a mixture of Space/time with Yamanaka traits to put it loosely. Now,Beginning with what Keigoku actually is, the simple answer is Juubi chakra. However, as we go through the manga, we see Obito (commonly referred to as Juubito in this state) using theYou must be registered for see links(JMC), which is clearly also "Juubi chakra", while completely different in every way from Keigoku. Now, as far as I'm aware the Nekura clan is a unique Custom Clan as the mechanics behind it appear to evolve with the manga (they shouldn't be evolving, but with Scorps' ruling on our being weak to MS Genjutsu, it clearly is changing as time goes on). So then what is the difference between JMC and Keigoku? The simplest answer, and the one we're going with unless Madāra Uchiha says otherwise, is that JMC is the utmost concentration of the Juubi's Yang, or Physical, chakra, whilst Keigoku is the utmost concentration of the Juubi's Yin, or Spiritual, chakra. Looking at it from this point of view, the Juubi's chakra is either the perfect physical form, so much so that it destroys all other physical entities it touches (JMC), or it is the perfect spiritual form, being formed of such condensed Spiritual Energy that when it doesn't even interact with physical objects, but instead corrupts and destroys spiritual (or mental, as I believe these two concepts are intertwined) energies simply by being present in the same area (Keigoku).
I had no idea the Nekura Clan were given such leniency in regards to their techniques and the clan itself. That's pretty cool to think that the Nekura have been allowed to evolve with the times, especially when you consider the amount of information now available on the Ten Tails, Yin and Yang Chakra's and more or less anything to do with the origins of Chakra or the Sage of the Six Paths himself.Interesting idea, though one thing I should point out is that the mechanics of the clan are always evolving as the manga evolves; Keigoku in it's simplest form is Bijuu chakra, or more specifically, Juubi chakra.

That was a nice read, logical, but you're following wallie does make a bit more sense in regards to the JMC being Yin and Yang Chakra due to it completely negating both aspects of the Edo Tensei. Minato's arms were completely removed and destroyed, and never regenerated. If it only destroyed the physical aspect, that'd be like hitting it with any other form of offensive Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, ergo it would eventually regenerate regardless. It also broke the Edo Tensei's Spiritual link, removing part of Minato's soul (his arms) from this plane of existence, thus preventing the arms from regenerating via Edo Tensei.Well, the explanation that me and Dork created through a series of talks early last year is related to Yin and Yang but not directly.

Sharingdork said:Beginning with what Keigoku actually is, the simple answer is Juubi chakra.

I agree with you on the answer being the first one. I gave my reasoning above, which is similar to your own, how the JMC detached the Physical and Spiritual aspect of the Edo Tensei, thus implying it utilizes both. All in all, that was a great read, and certainly put my "It's Genjutsu in a Ninjutsu form" reasoning to shame...The portion in bold is something that is very noteworthy and should be remembered; it forms the basis behind the Irish reasoning of the clans inner workings and the separation between Juubi Malleable Chakra ( or as we dubbed it, JMC ) and Keigoku.

A sort of "yin summoning" one could say, somewhat a mixture of Space/time with Yamanaka traits to put it loosely. Now,You must be registered for see linksrefers to the spiritual energy that governs the imagination and the ability to create things from nothingness. Utilizing this with our form of Juubi Chakra as well as space/time ninjutsu, we are able to create a gathering and manifestation of Juubi Chakra from nothing (or, in terms of the RP, the Juubi's vessel on the moon) that we "teleport" to the fields we are in battle in. Due to this utilization of Yin release along with it, it gains a spiritual aspect to it, one to allows it to affect matter on a spiritual level, which in turn is why it has a level of intangibility to it, being able to bypass through things with a spiritual part of them, i.e. sentience. Now, the canon chakra that the Juubi uses in the manga, and by extension that Madara, Obito and the Sage of 6 Paths uses, is similar yet different than our chakra, as Randy stated above. Both have destructive and corrosive properties and the easiest way to explain this would be to simply separate one as the Yin aspect of it and the other as the Yang aspect of it. While this can be seen as true, I believe it to be somewhat different. While Keigoku can be seen as the Yin natured Juubi Chakra, I think the properties of the JMC is inherently different. A key trait of the JMC is it's ability to affect both living and unliving matter, something it has shown in multiple instances. This chakra is also the same chakra used by the Sage to split the Juubi himself into 9 different beasts, using the Creation of All Things, implying that it is both a yin and yang based attack, furthering being implied when it was mentioned by Tobirama of being a yin and yang natured attack, hence why it was able to negate all ninjutsu.
Now, if we accept this as being fundamentally correct, it leads to an issue: If we have a full yin and yang JMC source and derived from it comes the Yin based variant, then wherein lies the Yang variant? In all things there exist balance, more certainly when speaking of bijuu and the concept of yin and both yang. This train of thought leads me to view Sharingdork's original definition as both true and false. While it has the potential and can possibly be the Yang version of our Keigoku, JMC fits more so as the "perfect" chakra source, afflicting both spiritual and physical damage, hence why it is able to completely destroy edo summonings as it deteriorates both the spiritual and physical links that anchor those souls to our plane, which is the logic I based my own Nekura custom on. Now, this brings up a small issue of conflict as there can be two ways to view Keigoku:
1. We accept Keigoku as a Yin natured variant of this, and JMC being the ultimate source, which we likely wouldn't reach due to missing the Yang variant and ponder more question on what would be the Yang variant. With this method, it leads us to question what exactly a Yang natured variant of Keigoku could encomporate, likely a form of jutsu disintegration maybe or physical bodily damage through contact, though not on a scale shown when Minato's body deteriorated from contact with the JMC.
Or...
2. We accept Keigoku as a Yin natured variant of JMC while we view JMC as the Yang variant, although it is stated to be the utilization of both yin and yang, as well as Juubi chakra. We would view it as such to make our own explanations of Keigoku to be in simpler terms, though still incomplete using this method.
I myself am more inclined to view the first one as it seems the more likely and fits closer into the realm of the manga, though we shouldn't even have to worry about manga conceptions with anime conceptions as we are first and foremost a custom clan, meaning everything of our abilities should be custom and as such, canon related realizations shouldn't affect us but I digress..on to the concept of tangiblity.
Not really leniency, but as the mechanics of the Juubi were learned more, certain aspects of the clan came to be treated differently; such as their immunity to Foreign chakra for one.I had no idea the Nekura Clan were given such leniency in regards to their techniques and the clan itself. That's pretty cool to think that the Nekura have been allowed to evolve with the times, especially when you consider the amount of information now available on the Ten Tails, Yin and Yang Chakra's and more or less anything to do with the origins of Chakra or the Sage of the Six Paths himself.
