Talk:Crocodile vs. Toph Beifong/@comment-32507967-20180115154143

I would like to just throw this out there: Gold is technically a Pure Metal, yes, but in itspurestate, it's absurdly soft and definitely not capable of being formed into a hook as solid and durable as Crocodile's. Gold is usually alloyed with other metals to increase its strength, and Crocodile likely did so with his hook, so chances are that Toph could indeed bend it. That doesn't mean that Toph wins because of that, but that detail in the fight bothered me.
