Hi. Does anyone know of more anime where you get to see some nice fighting scenes with a character/s similar to Gaara in their fighting style, not necessarily personality. What I mean by that is the way he almost doesn't move or dodge while fighting because he uses his sand for defence and offence.

Counting methods were the fighter does not fight directly:

I don't think Gilgamesh really counts, since he actually fights by himself from time to time. Kayneth from Fate/Zero is a better example, since he has something similar to Gaara's technique, but using mercury instead of sand.

Mayuri from Bleach has some similar technique when he releases his Bankai, since it's the Zanpakutou the one who does all the dirty work.

There are a lot of JoJo characters who uses their Stands to fight for them instead of participate in the battle directly. N'Dour and Angelo are a good example of this, and they also use elemental powers. There is also Iggy, who even has an Stand made of sand.

Mob from Mob Psycho 100 is so OP he doesn't needs to dodge attacks, his powers does all the job for him.

Stiyl from Toaru Majutsu no Index can summon a fire familiar who does all the job for him. I don't remember him to fight directly in all the series.

Similarly to Stiyl, in Bungou Stray Dogs, Lucy's ability from allows her to summon a giant, creepy doll who is basically all what she needs for ofense/defense.

Touko Aozaki from Kara no Kyoukai also fights using familiars.

Takao from D-Frag deserves an special mention, since she doesn't needs to move, as her breasts do all the work

Welp, Boobzilla or should I'd say Takao Thunder also counts :D

In Blue Exorcist, Shiemi and Izumo use familiars to battle.

Hmm, Cardcaptor Sakura would count right? xD Since she just summons stuff to do things for her.

Lelouch from Code Geass doesn't do most of the fighting; he uses his powers to make people do stuff for him.

In Fairy Tail, Lucy summons familiars as well.

In Inuyasha, Miroku pretty much just stands there and opens up the Wind Tunnel on his palm to suck in the enemy.

Nah, he also swings around exploding fire swords. Uses them at least as much as his summon, Innocentius.

Geass maybe. But he's had his fair share of Knightmare mecha combat.

I'm aware of that; that's why I said he doesn't do most of the fighting. I think he only went on it like a couple times (if not once) at the beginning of the anime. Pretty challenging to name a character who doesn't move in an action anime.

I see. There have been ages since I watched the series, so I have forgot such details.

Wow that's so many, thanks. I almost only watched slice of life/adventure/little-fighting-much-story anime so far so this gives me a nice collection to watch for a while. =D

Same here.
I've been reading Yen's novel releases. He used them quite a bit in the Daihasei Festival arc (on someone other than Touma... mostly).

Perhaps Pride form Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood? He does have those spooky shadow demons.

How about Lucy from Elfen Lied? She seems to just walk around, and her vectors do all the slaughtering.

Cardcaptor Sakura sure doesn't count. She moves around a lot, and a number of her cards power-up her rather than fighting on their own.
And Miroku is just as likely to beat demons with his staff.

True, though Miroku depends on his hand more than the staff.

Hmm. A mahou shoujo where the fairy does virtually all of the fighting might be interesting. There are only a couple shows I know of that have faires strong enough to directly take part in the combat at all, of which CCS is one.

Anyway, Tokoyami in Hero Academia is a decent example. His shadow has its own personality and can do all of the fighting autonomously, but he seems to prefer controlling it manually when he can (i.e. during the day). The fighting style is still very similar though.
