Talk:Nerve gas emission

What does the GN say?

GN quote: "When he sweats, he emits a nerve gas".
There ya go.

In his first frame, he is seen sweating. Demonstration persented, according to the GN.
Just because Penny zapped him before he was able to manifest enough sweating nerve gas to kill the crowd should not hinder this demonstration from being accepted. If the GN didn't say, "when he sweat, he emits a nerve gas", but rather, "after he has sweated for a while, he eventually will emits nerve gas' ; then there would be a sound arguement that this was not a demonstration; but that wasn't what the GN stated. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/20/2008 11:57 (EST)

• The thing is, HDS, is my understanding is that it doesn't matter what the novel says, only what it shows--so we can't accept sweating as proof of a release of nerve gas. Text only matters for an ability like Hana's where her ability is to produce text. If it said, "when he sweats, a star goes supernova" and he sweats and we don't see anything happen, we still can't add it as it isn't demonstrated.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:10, 20 May 2008 (EDT)

Wikipedia article on Nerve Gas, says they are liquid, not gas

Quoting [the Wikipedia article on Nerve Gas:
"Nerve agents (also being referred to as nerve gases, though these chemicals are liquid at room temperature) "
The man is sweating liquid nerve gas at room temperature. Again, Demonstration prooven. the AFD tag should be removed, and this article should be allowed to stand. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/20/2008 12:03 (EST)

• I don't think we have any evidence he is emitting the stuff at room temperature. And if he normally emitted the stuff as a liquid, it wouldn't be a "gas". It would be a poisonous liquid.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:10, 20 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Go read the wiki article on Nerve gas. While it is commonly referred to as 'nerve gas' it is normally a liquid. He is sweating a 'nerve gas', which is according to the wiki article, a normally liquid-form substance. That's like saying, driving on the parkway, and parking in the driveway...there name doesn't denote the actual truth. The common phrase is 'nerve gas' but its normal state is liquid. When He sweated walking the sidewalk, it would have been in liquid form. The only evidence we need, is that it says when he sweats, he emits a nerve gas; and that nerve gas, in its normal state, is liquid not gas. His sweat, therefore, is nerve gas. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/20/2008 12:13 (EST)
    • Yes, the room temperature/normal state of nerve gas is liquid, but his body could raise the temperature such that it's a gas. But more importantly, we cannot take the word of the novel that when he sweats, there is nerve gas in the sweat... the demonstration has to be visible somehow.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:29, 20 May 2008 (EDT)
