Death Battle Gaara vs Toph Reaction | Naruto vs Avatar

This is probably one of the most disputed Death Battle results. So many people think they got this one wrong, with Gaara having stuff that they overlooked, or them overestimating Toph.

I like how they forget that she has to bend his sand with his chakra already inside it as well as his mother's. And the sand doesn't really uses up his chakra since it's his mother's passive protection. Gaara has alot of chakra not including the reserves of the tailed-beast. A tail-beast is a Country - Continent buster. Also at 12 years old Gaara is around hypersonic in speed as well has high tier gennin.

All Might vs Might Guy & Darth Vadar vs Obito Uchia are 2 death battles that are epic connected to the Naruto world

[@crimsonknight7011]

Gaara was badass, the first kill we see him do is he entraps a guy in sand which then he raises into the sky and has it crush the guy with so much pressure his body essentially explodes. Gaara then picks up an umbrella and holds it up as the blood from the guy comes down like rain. Also his eyes are lined with black because he could never sleep because if he did the beast inside could take over. So basically he spent his entire life as an insomniac which would drive anyone nuts.

[@crimsonknight7011]

Gaara’s father also hated him so much that he would send assassins to kill Gaara as a child, but they would all die. Until he met Naruto and more importantly Rock Lee, Gaara had never once received a single injury from anyone.

[@iklantloin4593]

The biggest reason why this fight is Bias is because Gaar has light speed feats which they eventually mention in Darth Vader vs Obtio while Avatar characters only have lightning feats but even say Toph has such feat is kind of impossible

gaara's explanation of his history is a bit misleading. Gaara reevaluated his life before Shukaku was removed after Naruto fought him when they were 12. Naruto, being like Gaara was able to break through to him and Gaara reevaluated his life, being much calmer, trying harder to fit in and even taking on a student, and worked hard to take his father's place as the Sand Village's leader. This was before he was killed and ressurected. Him coming back just reinforced to Gaara that people did actually care about him now.

Oh, it's THIS one. Say what you will about some other Death Battles, but this one is STILL infamous.

[@DarthDragon007]

There are 3 major points that I can point out (there are more but these are 4 that are obvious) would have Gaara win with no difficulty over Toph. 1. Gaara's speed. Gaara himself is pretty fast, much faster than any bender in the Avatar-verse, but the sand he uses is faster than even that. Fast enough that it was able to hit Lee without his weights but before using the gates. Even if Toph can sense Gaara or his sand while they are in the air (because Gaara can use his sand to fly after all), she would not be able to react to any attacks he uses. Gaara and Gaara's sand can move faster than sound and that was only when his was a kid. Gaara and his sand are much faster in Shippuden. He was able to create a massive sand barrier so fast that it was able to block a nuke-like explosion the instant it went off. That is way faster than sound. 2. Gaara can use sand attacks that cover vast areas, like literal sand desert areas, whereas Toph even in her prime couldn't do such with even regular earth. And even if he isn't in a desert, as long as there is earth, he can just make sand using his own. Gaara can use his personal sand to create more than enough sand in an incredibly short period of time (we're talking minutes), to create his own freaking desert! Basically I'm saying that Gaara could manipulate an entire sand desert or in the event he isn't in one, he could create one while Toph could only manipulate small amounts of sand in comparison. 3. Benders NEED to be able to move to bend their elements and in order to bend the elements of another, they need to overpower them. Even Toph in her prime and Bumi, as experienced as they are, need to be able to move in order to bend, even if it's slight movements. Gaara does not need to move in order to use his sand, but like Byakuya in Bleach, using his movement increases the speed and precision of his sand even more. She would also have to use her own Chi to overpower Gaara's Chakra to be able to bend any sand Gaara uses (especially his default sand cause Toph would need to overpower both Gaara and Karura, his mother) and that's not happening, period.

@@metamind8674 With earth release and magnet release Gaara has all of her powers and more. Also I think you have a bit of a misconception regarding metal bending. Benders can only bend pure metal if it has impurities in it. Platinum is about 95% pure. The gold dust Gaaras father used is 96% pure and the iron powder that the third Kazakage and Shinki use is 99.9 to 99.99% pure iron. Platinum isn’t some unique element that they can’t bend because it’s just platinum. They can’t bend it because as sato states “not even your mother could bend something so pure”. Also Toph never matched General old iron in one on combat. That was the avatar. She simply metal bended some of his armour off while he was weakened. And Shi tongs library is just large building level. If she was holding back some supernatural beings powers she could’ve destroyed the Fire nation drill. Shi tong simply just lowered the building in the ground and then transported it to the spirit world.

@@metamind8674 additionally Gaara was lightning speed while he was her age. But we’re comparing them as they are older. Unfortunately we don’t have any greater speed feats other than lightning on avatar so that’s the best we have for adult Toph. However, Gaara goes from Lightning to relativistic all the way to light speed. Also while Taijutsu is not his specialty, he is still a ninja and has vastly improved his skills with Taijutsu. To the point momoshiki (an alien god that eats stars and planets) compared his skill to that of naruto and sasuke as adults. I don’t doubt that Gaara wouldnt be surprised that she could put influence on his sand. Because in naruto that’s an ability unique to Shukakus jinchuriki.

This Death Battle is definitely one of the most scripted defeats ever, Gaara should win in every aspect they just decided to completely glance over his automatic sand defense which happens without him even realizing, the layer of sand armor that protects his real skin consumes almost none of his actual chakra reserves as seen with the fight with Rock Lee plus his tailed beast reserves and awakening would give him an insane boost but they just skipped over that in this fight.

[@johannesweber8835]

I’d like to mention the fact that even though Gaara is perhaps the most physically unfit ninjas he’d still be perfectly capable of running circles around her. Or when they mentioned his sand is tougher than steel, yet Toph breaks his defense with metal? Or the whole get his sand into her blood thing? Just sprinkle it on the floor and cut her feet or legs when she’s preoccupied. They really did him dirty here. When did Toph stop a meteor for fs sake.

The synopsis in her brain can only react at average human speeds like us. She isnt a mind bender like king bumi, she has to physically move her normal human speed arms and legs to bend. Garra would be able to attack her hundreds of thousands if not millions of times before her normal human speed body can move to bend a single time. She also has the durability of a normal human, meaning she can't tank any of the attacks that damage multi planetary aliens from garra. Toph also has no sand bending feats past building level. She has no attack potency feats past small moutain level meaning she cant damage garras near planetary durability, she has no durability feats past average human level.

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

Honestly, the power scaling in Naruto is really, really high. I'm unconvinced that a Kage level character wouldn't solo the entire Avatar universe. But Garra is kind of an exception because sand is ALL HE DOES. Unlike other high level character in Naruto, he never really displays much ability in any other area, almost all of his attack and defence is geared around the manipulation of sand. Unlike a lot of other characters, he doesn't really display any bare handed fighting ability or really use many other ninja techniques, but his sand is so powerful it's usually all he needs. So I'm willing to buy that if he's up against a character who can specifically manipulate the exact substance he uses to fight even better than he can, that he could possibly win. But I think Toph, maybe Bumi and the Avatar him/herself are likely the only characters who could take him on.

Fun fact: Ben Singer admited in a rewatch that the outcome of this fight is incorrect.

[@zanzazaar]

They missed Gaara's multiple techniques, like wind techniques, his sealing jutsu or his ability to use his suna bunshin in similar way to kawarimi. Also, many of those battles has bigger issue - different laws affecting character abilities. Example is here. One medium cannot be affected by chakra of two users if they are not using cooperation ninjutsu. Not sure how bending is affecting medium. If by similar energy, she shouldnt be able to affect anything that he is controlling, only using other materials as shield. Also, Toph couldnt bend gold. Thney bend metal due to impurities, not by actual metal. So, Iron or copper in gold does not allow her to manipulate gold. But in the end, simple physical attack wouldnt finish him. He could swap places with the sand.

[@metamind8674]

Toph has the ability to manipulate sand, earth, minerals, crystals, and various metals (excluding platinum). Her seismic sense allows her to detect her surroundings, much like Spiderman's spider-sense. Toph can move at an incredible speed, faster than the blink of an eye. She is also highly skilled in martial arts and earth-bending, making her a formidable opponent. If faced with Gaara, Toph would be able to confront and defeat him, especially since Gaara's sand provides her with additional power. This would be akin to a Sun god battling Superman, and the outcome would not be in the Sun god's favor.

@@metamind8674 She cannot bend platinum as it is to pure. Same should be with gold. Apart from that, Gaara can use little amount of sand scattered on the terrain to gain sensor ability, so he can fight in similar way. Plus his eyesight can be moved from him as he can create levitating eye from the sand and look through that. Gaara is not slow. He is on Jounin level. He appears to be slow as he is mostly calm and he mostly is remembered from the fight with the Rock Lee who was overpowered physically at their point (few years before adult Gaara on which is based death battle). In shinobi world his speed can be medium, but not comparing him to shinobi that were based on speed abilities he is really fast. He had really fast reaction time, was able to defend against Deidara's explosions. He was able to create successful techniques in time of visible flash of detonations. In the end we have three points of win for Gaara. Strategic mind of Gaara is for first and for third. In moment when sand techniques would be to weak to fight Toph he could do two things. First is entire change of fighting style. Gaara is able to perform jutsu that would keep Toph at distance by strength of wind manipualtion. Second point is scale of abilities. Gaara is S-rank shinobi with one of largest range of his techniques. He is fighting on large scale, when Toph is on level for C rank techniques, at best B rank. If sheer amount of material weight wouldnt crush her, there his third point. After moving to wind techniques for defense, he could use large sand attack just to cover her in the sand again. It wouldnt defeat her, but her bending abilities are much slower compared to his jutsu. Time is enough for sealing technique. With seal, he could not kill her, as for the Death battle purpose, but she would be defeated. I love this. I mean, strategies for fantasy skills. Much rpg playing in the past.

[@metamind8674]

Toph can bend all types of metals, all metals, including gold, she can even bend a piece of meteor that fell from space. The only type of metal she cannot bend is pure platinum. Toph's skills have improved significantly in the later seasons, and she can now hold her own against Aang. She can handle wind-based attacks with ease, even though Aang has become much more powerful and skilled in air bending. It's interesting to note that Toph in the animated series is less skilled, capable, and powerful than her comic book counterpart. In the comic book, which takes place weeks after the series, Toph is far more powerful and skilled. She can defeat skilled and capable martial arts earth-benders, fire-bending soldiers, water-benders, and more. She held off King Bumi, whose earth-bending power shook Ohmashu, an entire mountain. Her greatest feat is when she standstills a skyscraper-sized spirit being whose spirit power can level several cities. Toph is also incredibly fast in reflexes, able to move faster than the blink of an eye. She can fly via earth bending, and her seismic sense is similar to Spiderman's spider-sense ability. In the Naruto-verse, rankings are different from the Avatar-verse. Skilled and competent martial arts benders of any element can hold their own in the Naruto-verse. Unlike the majority of characters in the Naruto world who heavily rely on chakra, benders in Avatar have no such restrictions. All that matters is how skilled, capable, and powerful a bender is, along with their strategy and tactics. The alignment of one's affinity to their elements also determines their skill and power as a bender.

[@zanzazaar]

@@metamind8674 Nevermind about metal, it is not needed to defeat her. But just for knowledge: Metalbending is not real bending. She bends still earth. She is affecting impurities in metal and by that she is bending metal. So, not only pure platinum. Any pure metal. Like gold. Unless this was bad quality gold, so this still does not need to be plot hole. Fighting against Aang does not matter for Fuuton jutsu. Air bending is just... tiny compared to Fuuton. Air bending is more tactical than pure strength. It could affect enemy's breathing. Against Aang, here Gaara would have problem due to deadly possibilities of Air bending. But in pure power, those are little farts against techniques that can cut or torn trees with roots on entire fields. And I mean Naruto's trees, not real life that are tinier. Her speed as I said isnt bigger than Gaara's. Speed that can be missed by normal human eye is in basic shinobi abilities. Boosted by Shunshin and Kawarimi, that require basically to move three times in front of enemy eyes without being noticed. It is bullshit how it works. Her "spider sense" from earth is like I said in previous post, nothing that Gaara cannot achieve from 4th shinobi war. He can sense enemies without seeing them in similar way. Flying? Same thing. Relaying on chakra does not matter as long fight wont last to long. And by to long I dont mean few minutes, more like hours or days. Shinobi can spend several days active without sleep. Loss of chakra can be problem but for Gaara even without Shukaku it would be problem only for a longer fight based on giant sand manipulation techniques. And still, shinobi had tools for that kind of situations like chakra pills. About size of enemy, I did not said that she couldnt match giant sand attacks. Read what I said before. It was only to make here bend through this sand, not to finish her. AS FINISHER I proposed Imperial Funeral Seal. That technique would be end for her. As you said, she does not use chakra. And this is her problem. From this point of view, for that jutsu she is just a normal human. That mean Gaara can use basic form of that technique, without Shukaku's juinjutsu. Sealed mean lost fight. There are seals that wouldnt affected her like Lion Closing Roar as this only block chakra, but Imperial Funeral is full, useful seal. With that there are only two ways to break through - by some help, which is not available in death battle and through clone techniques that would be able to work without user being conscious. I think Toph cannot bend when she is unconscious.

[@Neofelis131]

@@metamind8674 I like the Sun God vs Superman analogy ngl. But I think you misunderstand the situation here. Gaara can use earth style. So he can manipulate earth, minerals, crystals. He can use magnet style so he can manipulate metals as well. And not just impure metal like bronze or steel. But also pure metals like iron, gold and platinum. So he has all of her powers as well. Additionally he can also use wind style like Aang (something Toph can’t see) and even lightning which in naruto is so strong that it’s able to conduct through the metal fragments inside earth. That’s why in naruto earth style is typically weak against lightning. Hence why the chidori is able to pierce Gaaras defences. Gaara is also a sensor type ninja and so also has extra sensory ability. He has all of her powers and more.

So they had to look at the fact he could use other elements and just say nope. Its a terrible death battle.

[@xenicmark]

😂😂 this is laughable. Gaara is not just a ninja that controls sand. He's the kazekage. He leads an entire village of ninjas that have various techniques. Some of them developed over generations. To be the leader of a ninja village like the one he leads you have to be the strongest in that village. That means he has a lot more fighting experience than Toph. Secondly while Gaara controls sand, he also controls various other elements such as iron sand and his sand. He also can use other techniques like genjutsu to trap people in illusions. To suggest that Toph could beat Gaara when she couldn't even best Bumi is ridiculous. Gaara was literally born to fight. He was molded by the art of fighting. Toph merely adapted it. She's strong but she lacks both the experience and power to beat Gaara. I think Rock Lee could even take her.

The only person that can manipulate anything related to earth/sand and can possibly beat Gaara is Sir Crocodile (Mr. 0) from One Piece because he ate the Sand Devil Fruit and can manipulate sand on a level greater than Gaara and can transform into sand itself to make himself intangible and immune to harm. Gaara has to carry a gourd filled with sand to areas with no sand to fight, and then to use those sand to crush the rocks underground to create more sand in order to create a field advantage. Crocodile just need to touch the ground to drain all the moisture to create a desert.

My fist time seeing this particular Death Battle and have to say...what were they smoking? Lol. I have seen Death Battles I have disagreed with before. But this one must have caused outrage. Toph is outclassed in several areas but the most important being speed. Plus they disregarded the fact that even without using his sand he is still a Kage level Shinobi. He makes clones of himself. He has, while weaker than many Shinobi, Taijutsu. He has other basic level ninjutsu like substitution. In terms of power output they seem to forget him going to to toe with Madara. They mentioned the meteor but didn't reference how much force that would have required even with Ohnoki lightening it. They didn't mention how he stopped Deidara from nuking the village hidden in the sand. Yes...nuking. Plus referencing things from when he was inexperienced and a child who thought his sand would always be enough to protect him since it always had was foolish. Both his sand armour and gourd sand defenses were his reliant factors as a child. After being defeated by Lee and eventually Naruto his outlook changed. As he grew older he gained more experience. Plus his chakra reserves grew. And going back to speed. So what if Toph could sense where he was even in the air? She could never move fast enough to catch him plus his sand would move so fast that she would be killed faster than she could realize what happened.

She did here, but DB later admitted they got this one wrong.

[@Somealphamalepimpmanis]

@@destinynanaakrong8584and she can’t do that because he’s gara and then she dies via sand coffin because gara control his own sand

[@SyLuX636]

He infused his Chakra in that sand PLUS it has his mother's blessing to ONLY protect him. So yeah, ALOT was overlooked.

[@coolcool7987]

​@@destinynanaakrong8584Current Garra was able to fight massevly faster than light aliens able to destroy planets and stars😂garra solos tophs weak verse at age 13 unironically. The avatar verse characters are not super human physically. Their just average physical humans with elemental powers. Toph can only bend as fast as her physical body can move. The synopsis in her brain can only react at average human speeds like us. She isnt a mind bender like king bumi, she has to physically move her normal human speed arms and legs to bend. Garra would be able to attack her hundreds of thousands if not millions of times before her normal human speed body can move to bend a single time. She also has the durability of a normal human, meaning she can't tank any of the attacks that damage multi planetary aliens from garra. Toph also has no sand bending feats past building level. She has no attack potency feats past small moutain level meaning she cant damage garras near planetary durability, she has no durability feats past average human level. Garra also hasent used sand armour since the early 2000s. Garra has magnet style, Wind style and lightning style. Garra is a current character and will only get stronger as the boruto series continues. Toph will never beat garra. im sorry you're wrong on this one

[@orchidsalvia285]

How have you not seen Avatar?

[@madhavmandava]

Only master liars like Azula could actually be able to do it to the point tolph could not tell the difference

[@DjZeroGalactica]

Such a wonderful fight ;3; 🍃🪨

[@tyrant-den884]

Doesn't know how to say Toph? Guess Avatar is their next reaction series.

[@Kadeda]

This is a bad one to be honest... they admitted that they messed this one up and Gaara should have won.

[@metamind8674]

Nah they got it right, if anything they didn't do enough research on Toph in the comics which takes place weeks after the series, Toph is a monster in these comics.

[@strikingsarcophagus]

@@metamind8674 They didn't. Gaara washes

[@zac0918]

hehe its a Toph one

[@eija4487]

To the people saying that Gaara would overpower Toph i think you’re overlooking the information in the battle. Gaara’s strongest move (w/out Shukaku) is arguably his sand tsunami. Which can only be achieved by having enough sand, using sand to grind up the earth. As we seen in the battle Toph could easily recognize him doing this and overwhelm him or outright stop it. While one of Tophs greatest displays of power is holding up the library which was ginormous, which doesn’t require any conditions- she’s just that strong. You gotta be able to argue for a way that Gaara can actually overwhelm her realistically.

[@Liesmith424]

And if she wanted to be completely brutal and ruthless, she could arguably crush him in his own sand armor before he had a chance to do anything.

[@Porkey798]

Many of Gaara's abilities as a shinobi in general were overlooked for this deathbattle. In truth both him and his sand are far faster than any speed toph or most avatar characters have displayed. Toph should be able to perceive gaara and maybe kill him with some strong attack but she could realistically never touch him. The speed difference is insane. Even the least significant shinobi from Naruto are usually insanely fast

[@eija4487]

@@Porkey798 I agree Shinobu are fast but we don’t have a quantifiable way to show if it would matter, which I don’t think it does. Also his speed especially in comparison to other ninja isn’t something special. His best speed feats that I can think of was his hand blocking rock lees attacks, and that wasn’t even him consciously doing that it was automatic. And I’d say it wouldn’t even matter since Toph can just bend it

[@Revshockwave]

@eija4487 actually here are some speed feats of his, Blocking Kimimaro's bullets, Blocking the Raikage Guillotine drop which at that point he's nearly lightspeed, he reacted fast enough to block Amaterasu.

[@Neofelis131]

Well that’s assuming there isn’t already enough sand in the area. Because if it’s in a place like the village hidden in the sand or a dessert, then he can just use all the sand that’s already there. But even if it wasn’t he can grind up the ground into sand fairly fast. In his fight against the strongest member of the sound 5 (who has bones as hard as steel) he’s able to casually control and create a sand tsunami big enough to cover a massive area of the forest and then force Kimimaru into curse mark 1. This was about city block level in strength. Far greater than the large building feats from Toph and king bumi. Also she would be able to see him moving the earth into sand but not his chakra. And you have to assume that he’d be able to overtake his control of the sand with his chakra in it and the soul of his mother as well. But honestly he wouldn’t need the sand tsunami either because a simple sand burial would be too fast for her to react to or survive against.

[@FatLittleButterfly]

lol. Toph will just crush Gaara with his own sand armour

[@strikingsarcophagus]

Except she literally can't

[@edgarurbas3293]

you want me to beg right i beg you black widow vs widow maker please pozalusta palun i dont know anu more...))))

[@hamzamizou5800]

The result is not convincing. If Shukaku had gone out, he would have destroyed the place

[@rabbit2686]

Knew it. Gaara plateaus really early in the series and becomes an afterthought, never really improving and in fact just getting nerfed because his tailed beast is taken away, and even though I know next to nothing about Avatar, I still felt that Toph with her own ability to see and control Earth would probably take it since she was a main character and wouldn't get nerfed.

[@LewisRJHope]

@Z3R0TRUE I don't think they did use all of modern day toph, I don't think comics and stuff are used.

[@skinnymelo]

Huh? Gaara continues to get development and great dialogue to add more to his parallels with Naruto and Sasuke later in the series. As far as powers goes, he gets a ridiculous amp in the war arc in the fight against his reanimated father. Gaara didn't tame his beast before it got taken away from him so he was not more powerful with it vs without it in the war arc because he could only tap into a fraction of its power. Gaara does not plateau in any sense. This fight just used a ridiculously weak and wrong version of Gaara cause back then Death Battle was literally a popularity contest. Peak Gaara solos the entire Avatar verse, he would have no trouble with Toph lmao, his sand moves at light speed, she wouldn't even be able to react to what hit her.

[@ryanwilliams1207]

Gaara did not plateau in part one. Even if he did he still should have won due to the massive speed difference. Gaara’s sand has reacted to rock lee “weights off”. This version of lee was faster than sasuke who dodged a sound based attack at point blank range. He was confirmed speed of sound in part one. His sand can easily crush toph even if she was protecting herself with metal. Kimimaru has bones stronger than steel that he uses as weapons and protection. With the curse mark amp his bones get stronger. Gaara’s sand still nearly killed him when he was using a level 2 curse mark which amps his bone density to nigh lethal levels. They really just overlooked a lot of things to give toph the win

[@strikingsarcophagus]

This is a comment from someone who clearly has not watched Naruto. If you did, maybe you would have seen the METEOR Gaara helped catch
