Black Sand Shield

This is one of Takashi defensive techniques when using the black sand ability, he will manipulate the black sand into the form a defensive shield which he uses to automatically surround and protect himself with black sand from danger or incoming attacks. The shield is capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles even at close range, and can be hardened to the point where it is comparable to steel. He will either use it to form a complete sphere shield around himself or will use the black sand to create a defensive wall to protect him from fast incoming attacks. The shield itself is quite strong and durable but its defenses can be broken with repeated extremely high-speed strong attacks or with incredible overwhelming brute force. The one drawback of this technique is that while inside the sphere shield form of the technique he is unable to use any forms of attack on his opponent on the outside and is unable to see what is going on outside the black sphere shield, as such making it a completely defensive technique.
