Talk:Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique

Effect
What limits would this ability have? I mean Earth Release: Earth Spear gives the body an almost impenetrable defense, along with augmented offense, or an duration of about at least a minute (I say at least since that is about the time he had a hand thrust through his chest). Would this jutsu have a similiar duration, because then it would be highly effective. Granted Earth Spear may seem insufficient basis, but the level and devastating effect of the two seems similiar. Or is it limited to only when he has the hand seal activated? --Thomas Finlayson (talk) 9:35, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am serious about this because it could be an incredibly powerful technique if it has a duration similiar to Earth Release: Earth Spear; you touch the user and you die which makes it an incredible technique against taijutsu.--Thomas Finlayson (talk) 10:28, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * About the duration, you mean for how long things touching the user turn to stone? I think it's as long as the user wishes. Maybe it works great against taijutsu, but we know too little about it. Perhaps it needs direct physical contact, perhaps if you know about it you can use some sort of chakra flow to avoid its effects. We'll have to wait for the next databook.

 * The databook is how far away again!? Plus I think physical contact is necessary, or else this jutsu would be too powerful and probably drain you dry.
 * Not sure, but I remember someone saying it should drop around this time next year. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:17, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Too long. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 21:28, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Also, while Kakazu had an indefinite time period, would not Onoki use this jutsu on Sasuke? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 01:40, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but I have not gotten to know you well enough, and you, despite your numerous previous comments, have still thrown me a surprise now and then. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:50, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you devote an amount of effort in these discussions that is disproportionate to their importance and overall change impact. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:27, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * You are not the first to think that, no doubt not the last. The truth is (as I said on the Golem page) I am a bit obsessed with offensive earth jutsu and this is one of the strongest ones. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:32, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

well atleast we could put that it was a reletivly slow and gradual petrification.so simply hitting and punching wouldn't be enough to petrify them(especially at rock lee or the raikage's speed ),they would need extended contact with them.or it could be a thing where once its activated,it will cover the victim even if they arnt touching,but i really doubt that 68.89.45.73 (talk) 02:08, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
