ok I might sound dumb, but I don&#39;t think that punch actually HURT Shikamaru. He just felt the momentum, and his head was pushed back as if he were hit. He moved in the same way Gaara moved, so he probably got a bit of whiplash

all i gotta say is, shikamaru is someone to be feared.

OK just on this earth shadow thing when it is night time half of the earth is NOT in the shadow of the other half, it is not facing the sunf so it is in darkness. The shadow that the earth creates is actually projected into space.... and that is you could say a shadow in darkness.

thats what i was saying

also if he does get hurt from opponent injuries, that would mean what happens to opponents happen to him.

In essense someone could have picked up dosu and shika would have moved along without any control - a pretty stupid skill if you ask me.

Sometimes I feel that you, gotwooters, think too much. But it is interesting how some of you can pin-point tiny details like this.

Yes its all provoking deep thought ain&#39;t it?

[Kn1ves]

there taht should settle what exactly would happen if there was pitch black

the only reason why shika got hurt when naruto hit gaara is because his head snapped back and caught shika off guard , and shika was not going to get hit when he threw the 8 kunais and stars because the other sound nins didnt have it in the first place , they just immitated the movement of shika , look carefully at episode 70 , when shika was going to throw the kunais , the sound nin didnt have kunais in their hands , ok

it was kishimoto&#39;s idea to have shikamaru feel the impact of naruto&#39;s punch on gaara, so its not really the animators&#39; fault for that. What could&#39;ve happened was with kin he might have released the shadow just before she hit her head (which could also explain why he needed the shuriken as a distraction. That way when he releases the jutsu at the last moment, she wont even realize it and will still attempt to dodje the shuriken the same way shikamaru did). As for the 8 sound nins, shikamaru knew that there was a 9th hiding somewhere, so he threw the kunais with the intention of them being deflected. He just wanted to see where the 9th one was hiding

By making that shadow jutsu shikamaru binds himself physically to the person his juts is ment for, so when someone attacks the opponent shikamaru receives an equal part of the damage that was inflicted to the other person.

well its designed to disable the opponent, not defeat them...
A more offensive attack probably wouldnt have kept gaara from killing rock lee in the hospital room
