Quote:I said it was 'designed' to be a two soul operating system, not that it worked that way all the time. It was also designed not to move without power... it does both. Problem with mad science... you can only really guess the results. In Eva the evas do all kind of things they aren't suppose to. The staff comments on this.
Don't forget Episode One --
Quote:No... Naruto's seal is stapled to his soul effectively. Its a pact with the God of Death that uses a separate soul as a seal. This much is canon.
You're forgetting the seal.
With Gaara we know it is a cerimony involving an artifact that has a demonlord inside. We know it involves a hman life being sacrificed. We know that your stating that the badger is bound to the astral plane in your story. We also know that seal is less tight as the badger can force its way to the surface, at least if Gaara is locked in a mental loop over actually taking damage.
After that it gets sketchy and becomes a grey area. The bars on the badger's cage almost have to be farther appart. Otherwise the badger couldn't even attempt to take over. That and that the sand have apparently used the badger this way before... so it probably goes back to the kettle if Gaara gets killed.
While there still is a cage effect or at least the badger is on the astral plane near Gaara... its not as restrictive as with the fox. That and with the badger able to form limbs of sand... so I'd think it'd be rather dangerous to get close enough to administer the drug anyway. Seal or no. Even the fox can reach outside a few feet.
Quote:Sorry... I don't know that acronym.
AIRC. Please point out canon evidence to support your view.
The sand ignores him by not allowing him to feel anything when he wants to. Something has to be controling it... Gaara was rather suicidal after killing his aunt. It wasn't Gaara protecting himself on a contious level, while it could be some part of his mind keeping itself alive.... I find it far more likely that its the badger controlling the sand. I have stated another case of this conflict happening above... On where Gaara has far more experience at this battle.
So either Gaara has a third personality inside his head or it was the badger protecting its link to the outside world.
