Hello!

(Davy Jones Todana) Davy Jones Locker
Type: Summon
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description:
This summon is very similar to "Iron Maiden" summon. The user able to summon a old, sea forged, metal crate that is the size of a human under the enemy at either short or mid range. Once summoned the crate very quickly rises out of the ground and trapping the enemy, the opening in which the target is engulfed is similar to the way a puppet traps an enemy. Once the target is trapped then a summoning of chains even faster wraps around the entire crate just like the "Iron Maiden". The crate has many holes on the top of it. The user can either keep the enemy trapped in the locker or if near water the user can kick the locker into the water up to mid range, causing the enemy to sink very fast because the locker is very heavy and drown in the process.

Notes:
- Trap lasts for 1 turn
- Drowning happens within 2 turns
- Unable to use water and/or earth technique in same turn as summon
- User must have some type of Taijutsu training to be able to kick "Locker" in water
- Only usable/trainable by Dexter..

No!!

According to this article, Davy Jones is an idiom for the bottom of the sea where everything is dead. Basically where shipwrecks are like Titanic. It's like saying "This ship will meet Davy Jones' Locker" AKA this ship will wreck and sink to the bottom of the sea. I guess this Locker represents the area of the dead space.

Yes, yes. the locker itself is but a myth and pretty much an object of imagination.

Do you get it now, Doctor?
So like the Locker actually representing the dark dead space underneath the ocean, like a metaphor. It's not really an imagination or a myth. The way I see it is metaphorically. You're applying a figure of speech on an object like saying "Ben Dover". Ben Dover died in a car crash and the drive wheel crushed his ribs. It is dangerous and it is a myth that the drive wheel could actually do something like that. Ben Dover represents this myth of the drive wheel crushing ribs. You could then say to people "Don't meet Ben Dover on the way to your home!"

What's the method of summoning it? Blood? 5 handseals? Smear something on the ground? How big is this crate, can I trap Gamabunta in it? Will the damage only count if the crate falls in the water or once he's trapped?

I make a handseal and a giant metal shaped like a crate appears from the ground underneath a duck. As the metal crate appeared below the duck, it starts falling inside it while multiple chains come out from the crate, wrapping itself around and pulling the duck inside the crate, trapping it. Once it's inside, I kick the crate really far onto a kitty's pool where it'll drown.
