@FlatZone Agreed, but Bansho Tenin doesn't attract all things at once, unless the caster wants to. When multiple things are pulled, they are specific objects, none of the other objects nearby are pulled along with it. Chibaku Tensei differs in this case, as it pulls in everything and anything.

@Frwt Given that there's no evidence supporting Ohnoki's ability to do this, I'm not so sure. It's a shame there's no situation involving gravity against Ohnoki, like him faced with a Chibaku Tensei or something. But logically, flight or not, if something is pulling you towards it with as much force as Bansho Tenin, you'd be pulled towards it no matter what. An example is if you're swimming underwater, which could be seen as a fake type of flying, but you'd still be pulled in towards a whirlpool, regardless of your ability to go in any other direction (I know Ohnoki is much faster at flying that a normal person would be at swimming).

But logically, it means that no matter what direction Ohnoki tries to fly in, he will be pulled by Bansho Tenin. If Deva locks onto you with Bansho Tenin, you are restricted with movement in space, you could only move your arms and legs about, but the direction you are headed towards is fixed. Think about Kakashi's situation. If what you are saying is possible, then when Kakashi threw the chain onto that rock, it should have acted similar to swinging from a vine, but sideways, there would have been momentum that "should" have moved him in a different direction. But Kakashi was still being pulled forwards towards Deva.
