Talk:Gaara VS Toph/@comment-27822848-20150124014932

A lot of people think this fight is going to be really one-sided. I see the Naruto fans saying "Gaara stomps!" and the Avatar fans saying "Toph stomps!" but honestly I don't think either one stomps here.

Toph has faster reflexes than the average human, so dodging Gaara's attacks won't be much of an issue for her. She also pretty much has the entire Earth as her weapon against Gaara, so she holds the environment advantage. Gaara, however, can turn all of Toph's rock and dirt to sand, so that could make it very difficult for Toph. However, her metalbending will be very difficult for Gaara to overcome as it cannot be turned to sand. But I think Gaara is going to win. Why?

I really don't think Toph can pierce the Absolute Defense. His mother's will is in that sand, and while Toph could possibly bend it theoretically, it is 1. sand and 2. controlled by Gaara's mother, so bending it would be extremely difficult for her to do. Still, Toph isn't getting stomped by Gaara anytime soon.
