Talk:Gaara VS Toph/@comment-25517437-20150110182721/@comment-24.96.208.174-20150110201526

Toph can bend sand. Why is this so hard for people to understand that in Sozin's Comet she demostrated it by sandbending a detailed miniature ba sing se in 1 second and she didnt have a problem seeing the ugle suki sculpture made of sand. Toph has defeated more durable foes before. Nobody remembers hippo from the arena who didnt even flinch when he was attacked by earth head on? There's nothing that can suggest that toph can or cannot bend gaara's own sand. I mean i believe the definition of bending or controlling an element means that you can move it no matter what it is in. Like bloodbending. The guru in Avatar stated that metal is (in layman's terms) just another form of earth with some stuff added to it, but yet toph can move it. She'll be able to sense gaara on sand because she sensed the sandbenders on the sand before they stole appa. Toph can easily hear Gaara if he decides to fly cause her hearing is enhanced, just like how she did when that guy in the earth arena who was flying. Gaara's defense is completely useless because the gourd the sand is in is made of sand or earth, I forget, I hear it's Earth. Her reflexed are real fast too. And if the sand comes from the gourd, then she will be able to sense it and be able to react before sand coffin attack. It is a close and i see toph winning because most things that people say for gaara can be coun tered
