Lel I see you 2marrow
Goodnight Sweet Prince.
Lel I see you 2marrow
It seems that you are picking up sentences without its full context here. Read the second sentence:
The Suna Bunshin is different from the other types of Bunshin in that the sand does not completely
assume the form of the user, but remains as sand the entire time.
"assume": 1. suppose to be the case, without proof. or 2. take or begin to have (power or responsibility).
The second way to interpret "assume" in this context is going by number 2:
2. take or begin to have (power or responsibility).
So the context is secluding the Sand Bunshins as the bushin does not take or have power split from the user but simply used as a feint to which the databook plus the feats of the manga identified.
So for your questions:
Q: What do all these clones have in common?
A: You had the right answer, well partially right. It is chakra distribution but not every clone tech has the same chakra distribution, fact. And the databook says (and manga feats too) that Sand bushins do not take or begin to have (power or responsibility) therefore the distribution isn't divided evenly because it doesnt have the power/responsibility to act evenly as the original.
P.S Mizu Bushins do not take 25%[You must be registered for see links]
Q:Can all Bunshins be multiplied?
A: Could of been right but the context of Suna Bushin disagrees and portions are chakra each clone tech uses are specific so once again, false claim is unusable.
Q: Why hasn't Gaara been shown to use more than 1 Suna Bunshin
A:Because the context of Databook and description and manga feats shows that it doesn't hold chakra nor the responsibility as other clone techs out there.
P.S. There a difference between clone techs and shadow clone tech. clone tech aren't real they are just images so your chakra isn't being split. clone is a basic ninja tool to use to deceive your opponent. Read up =)You must be registered for see links.
Q: So Gaara can construct multiple Suna Bunshin?
A:Nope lol since it doesn't carry the same power / responsibility like other clones nor the same chakra distribution
Q: Does EjBlack need to do his rebuttal over?
Not at all as I pretty much counter Sand jutsu in general with Raikage durability and tanking feats that superior then Kimmiaro (who canonically use his powerful bones to bypass and break through sand), broke down that Raikage's speed > Joki boy (who canonically had the speed to dodge Gaara's sand), and Raiton (to which canonically bypass Sand jutsus) to which Raikage can bypass with 5 finger (when the lower the number of fingers determines more penetration power lol)
Nice try though.

"Its many applications with long-range attacks can have it act as a lure and a decoy. This is where it draws the line with other Bunshin."
This is sayin that due to the great prowess of Long-Range attacks the Suna Bunshin possesses , the luring, and decoying of the Suna Bunshin itself is beyond superior to that of any other Bunshins (in Part One). That's where it draws the line with other Bunshin.
Now here's where you're wrong. You quote that Suna Bunshin does not completely assume the form of the user, and that it remains sand the entire time. Yes the Suna Bunshin (as the name says Sand) will remain Sand, and Chakra (Gaara uses Chakra to manipulate his Sand) the same substance (excluding Sand) of which normal Kage Bushins are made out of.
The part about Gaara's Suna Bunshin not being able to assume the form of the user is incorrect beyond comprehension, and here's why:
In the same fight against the Nidaime Mizukage, Gaara replaced, and fooled the Nidaime Mizukage with a Sand Bunshin. How he fooled the Mizukage well by completely refuting that quote you've linked:
You must be registered for see links
Databook:can have it act as a lure and a decoy.
In that scan, Gaara's Suna Bunshin completely assumed the form of Oonoki fooling the Mizukage. Now think, if Gaara's Suna Bunshin couldn't completely assume the form of the user, then the Mizukage would of recognized a sandy exterior.
The second interpretation of Assume is also debunked by the same fight I previously linked. Here, the Mizukage questions, and involuntarily states thatYou must be registered for see links. This is the pageYou must be registered for see links, now the second interpretation of Assume says "To take or begin to have power of responsibility". But, if you think about it do any clones actually have the power of responsibility?Doesn't the user of the technique indirectly have control of what actions the clones do? It is the users chakra after all.
Going along with your ideals though, that true Bunshins have the power of responsibility here Gaara's Suna Bunshin freely wasYou must be registered for see linksI would.
Above all else, you're missing one very important point: Change.
Change man. Time brings Change, and with Change brings New things. That's why using the First Databook isn't a good source for Techniques that have been seen later on in the Manga, because the user(s) are always showing us something new.
Gaara for example:
I. Wasn't able to completely assume the User(s) in which the Suna Bunshin took onYou must be registered for see links. Now it canYou must be registered for see links.
II. Wasn't able to control Shukaku (His tailed beast)You must be registered for see links. Later on he could (being able to emit Shukaku's hand)You must be registered for see links.
Relying on the First Databook shouldn't be done, as things change. That is all that really needs to be said here. My OP still stands, The Sandaime Raikage is cornered like a helpless rat, I'm awaiting for you to counter the formation.

Get the judges I'm done here bro.
huh what. How was the strategy confusing? It's pretty simple man. Explain.

the use of circles, and the coded words was annoying af,
and i also dont understandd why even bother with the sand clones to begin with, when gaara can just constantly attack him with sand,
if you focused abit more on shukaku, such as his fuutons, as well as gaara restraining him through sand tsunami followed by shukakusu pyramid seal, then you wouldve definitely won,
you wasted almost 80% of ur posts on sand clones,
you however definitely had the concepts, but you just didnt apply them here

To be honest no side had any compelling arguments. Most of the debate was spent on debating whether or not Gaara can make x sand clones and not about how one will kill the other. It was very dull and I believe both sides could have said much more in their characters defense.
@EjBlack
You missed a lot of important points you could have said about the Raikage. If you had researched him more and knew more about his abilities I don't think you would have spent as much time as you did debating on Gaaras clone capabilities because they were hardly if at all a factor in this match-up.
You must of skipped it as I already mention how he kills Gaara. It must of been hard to find because Raikage only has one move lol. Please check the arguments again.
@Bold: Really, I am interested to heard them. What did I miss to Raikage's extent
Dr.Proof
Ok, let start with the things that where done wrong:
Disregard for Location: Two things come to mind:
i) Where you said Gaara buries Sandaime 200m underground. This seemed to be your only option for defeating the Raikage, so its a pretty big mistake. Lets not forget that this is a Iron Bridge, with a small lake beneath it. There is no possible way Gaara can bury Sandaime in such a location.
ii) You also stated that Gaara gathers sand in the same manner as his fight with Kimmimaro. Once again, this is an Iron bridge and not regular earth. I don't doubt that Gaara can break it down regardless, however the time and effort it will take in such a location is far beyond what it was against Kimmimaro.
Sandaime standing still: Another one if your claims was that Gaara performs a series of combos on Sandaime and gains the upper hand and eventually wins. But will Sandaime really be standing in one spot, while Gaara uses his Tsunami, makes clones, moves them to the four corners of the location and starts spamming? This is a bridge after all, the Tsunami will hold him for a couple seconds tops, once Sandaime cloaks himself in Raiton (Which won't be long), he won't have any trouble whatsoever escaping the sand hands and the sand prisons. You should have taken into account that Sandaime can move, effortlessly break out of Gaara's traps, and force pressure with his great speed and insane piercing power.
Disregard for Sandaime's piercing power: Ej also did not mention just who deadly his piercing power is. Lets not forget that a Chunin Exams Sasuke was able to pierce through Gaara's defence with a Chidori. Sandaime's finger stabs are more powerful then a FRS and are concentrated just like a Chidori. Gaara's defence is truly useless against the Finger Stabs, but you did ignore this part, wether it be for strategical purposes (Not remind Ej exactly how powerful it is) or you simply forgot I do not know.
What was good? The presentation was impressive for one. Very neatly organized points and pictures, as insignificant as they might be to the actual debate, do make for a more enjoyable read. Despite some of your points being off, you did back-up other points with very accurately and with great detail, even using pictures to show how the fight would have went down.
EjBlack
Ok, lets start off with the things that where done wrong:
Disregard for Shukaku: He is there, you know. And unlike Hachibi, cutting won't exactly do anything significant to him, which is what Sandaime is all about. I myself don't see a counter to him, however, Sandaime is certainly capable of killing Gaara before Shukaku comes out, but you did not mention this.
Too much concentration on Clones: For such an unimportant aspect of the battle, you put WAY too much attention towards it.
Lack of Sandaime feats shown: You mentioned the basics, he's fast, he's durable and he's strong. But frankly, that's just not enough detail. Chidori was capable of breaking through Gaara's Defense, as can Finger Stab, which makes Gaara's defensive aspect a non-factor. If you went into more detail on his offense, defence and speed instead of attacking the clone argument, this debate would have been an easy win for you, Shukaku or not. As I said before, Gaara stands next to no chance in this location against Sandaime.
As far as good things go, I would say basically everything I said to Dr.Proof, minus the presentation aspect, which was average.
I am sorry, but I am going to have to end this in a tie and give the victory to Dr.Proof. His argument was more on track IMO, despite some of the flaws. Although there where many things missing, he still explained and elaborated on the character he was debating for. I feel, Ej, you where a but lackluster for Raikage. You mainly spent your time arguing Gaara's feats that where presented, instead of arguing how Sandaime takes down Gaara.
