No Nichole I targeted no one with thrust. It was a wide sweeping one. Although the flavor seen seems to state other wise :/
Was there a sceen were a character kidnapped(polabeardognaped) naga like Lon fang did with Appa?
In that case, it seems like a target was picked at random. ALIT might do so using random.org.
And no, there wasn't a scene like that.
