That because most of the times nard isn’t trying to kill his opponents and instead tries to convert them. The fear and madness hax is just a byproduct of a shinobi trying to kill someone
Is it tho? The only people I ever remember actually showing something like that are Zabuza, Orochimaru, and I think Obito in the novels who have extraordinary bloodlust.
They just have more potent bloodlust then most folks. It’s standard Shinobi physiology to have fear and madness hax as they passively inject bloodlust into their aura when they want to kill someone or smth. Once sussy slayer drops that chakra blog its gonna be more detailed in there on how all this fear and madness bs works
True, but Kurama can radiate that fear and madness haxs from his chakra, so nard’s cloak should be passively doing that if his not doing it himself
It can cause intense fear, paralysis, illusions, suicidal urges, unconsciousness etc. it also have madness manipulation(type 2)
Pretty sure our standards are that other forms of mind hax don't correlate with each other like that so Fear Hax should work, especially since Kurama emits it passively just via being there as shown in Boruto when just Naruto getting red eyes like he did as a could caused Shin to get fear haxed by Kurama.
Any source? If there's none, perhaps a CRT should be made to create some kind of standard
Can it be fought off using willpower?
To be fair, Sasuke only really snapped out of it because Kakashi reassured him that he would be fine.
Profiles are outdated
That still means you could snap out of it through willpower, or at least continue fighting while affected by it
I could tell
Yeah, you could, though Sasuke was on the verge of slamming a kunai through his own throat before Kakashi said anything so Samus is still gonna have problems at first. Then she runs into a much bigger problem since Naruto will only be getting stronger the more he uses KCM2 since he was mastering it more and more until he reached almost 100 teratons through constant fighting. Samus' best chance at victory is trying to take out Naruto when his form disappears for a brief bit after exhausting the initial usage and even then he can just pop into Sage Mode to not get one-shot by her or use Substitution Jutsu to avoid her attacks while Kurama recharges him.
Is it standard tho? Chakra is pretty personal stuff to where 5ks Sasuke could have super dark and cold chakra while Narutos was bright and warm despite them being relative.
I mean sure but so far he didn't and Naruto literally never used anything like fear hax and doesn't really fit with the people that did do so.
Kuramas uncontrolled chakra can when you directly interact with it (although it's debatable what's the extent since Kurama is naturally a big scary fox so it scaring someone doesn't really need supernatural FM) but in kcm1/2 that's not really the case. There's a huge difference between how Kurama chakra behaves in different forms.
Ok
It’s more bloodlust based than the quality of the chakra. bloodlust and darkness of one’s chakra is two different things in the verse. Shinobi like itachi can have bloodlust and cause these effects yet he has a kind heart
Agree
Kurama can do it in controlled state as well. Like how he did for shin uchihas clones.
Uhhh idk about that. Sasuke and Jigen were specifically said to have "cold" and "sinister" chakra which made sensors (Karin and Ino) sweat just from sensing it.
I mean sure, but there's 2 issues with that.
That has nothing to do with the fear hax of a shinobi. The quality and quantity of one’s chakra can cause some peps to sweat and stuff. And that’s normal, because that’s not a supernatural force that’s causing fear but the strength and how evil they are that caused them to sweat. This specific example would fall under social influencing.
As mentioned above
If I am not wrong those clones are pretty much emotionless and chakra can connect peps minds and soul together so it can be used in combat if your opponent’s can’t sense energy or sage chakra.
Same thing as mentioned above
One's chakra being more scary has no correlation with causing fear in people?
Is the evilness you're emitting to scare people not a supernatural force?
Yes, so if their aura is naturally more "scary" it would make sense for the to have stronger fear hax.
Ngl that sounds like a headcanon. We know different chakra properties add different effects to chakra and we mostly see people with dark or "sinister" chakra induce fear into their opponents.
I don’t remember anything stating they're truly emotionless. I think a genin level child getting jumpscared by Kurama the legendary nine tailed demon fox and embodiment of hatred is enough to scare you regardless of having fear hax.
Yeah I was just about to ask that as well. Samus' profile doesn't seem to hold up to Naruto well so it would be good to hear from a Metroid supporter, because it seems like Naruto can just jump her with a ton of clones.
Did he? Naruto made a ton of clones that ran into each other with the Shins and he seemed to catch his attack with no difficulty
I'd make the argument that Samus actually fares pretty well against large numbers of clones because her attacks pierce and have fairly wide AOE (like, man-sized) so she can just shoot in one direction and vaporize an entire swathe of them, or drop a Power Bomb and clear out a large AOE around herself.
Small Country+, specifically 4 Teratons but stuff like the Rasenshuriken is still above his physicals with the Rasengan Barrage specifically doubling his AP.
Would be better to just wait for the chakra blog. That will explain things far better then I can and will include scans or wait for the nard profile revamp i am helping out with. That will have the fear and madness hax section with all the scans and stuff
Nard can use shunshin which is blitz tier
