Talk:Gaara VS Toph/@comment-71.113.21.138-20150122071416/@comment-65.92.150.27-20150122225329

Allow me to make a counter argument.

Earth is earth. It could be mixed with mud, refined into metal, or even fused with chakra. As long as the fundamental earthly elements are in it, there's no reason for Toph not to be able to earth bend it.

You're also a bit confused on Gaara's speed. Gaara fights as an immovable object. He chooses to block attacks or dodging them. As a ninja, he is trained with a high-speed travel jutsu (Body Flicker I think it's called), but that's not the same as actual combat speed.
