I don't really care to be honest, I'm just joining the fun. Thekillman wrote: Then why is he always depicted as having a sand body when he could've had a golden or iron body? Well, does that mean Isobu should have a water body? But hey, maybe Shukaku is made out of iron or gold, maybe Shukaku's Absolute Defence is due to all the minerals in the sand, so all those metal stuff, which strengthens the already hard sand. Thekillman wrote: Sand control and magnet release are two different things. Gaara did utilise Gold Sand against Gengetsu, and he also manipulated a "sparkling metallic sand" (Silver Sand?), so there's that. Plus, he could still manipulate sand after extracting Shukaku, which suggests that it could be his own ability, or it could be just Karura. I mean, sand sticks to stuff when there's static electricity, so it's not that farfetched to say that it's magnetic.
