Talk:Gaara

Blood Type

I noticed that Gaara's blood type has been removed from his profile. Why is this? The blood type theory of personality is very popular in Japan. Addie777 03:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Weaknesses

I noticed that, on the front page, it states that Gaara can use any sand, assuming it wasn't wet. Is this weakness also present in the manga, or is this anime-specific? If so, how do we differentiate between the canon Gaara (ie, from the manga), and the Gaara that is presented during the anime? 207.157.74.111 19:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the anime (tv show, not movies) considered canon as well? ApokalypseCow 15:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sand Halberd

In the article it states that when he is in shukaku form he can use Sand Halberd (砂戈, Suna Hōkō?). Are you sure you are not confusing this with Halberd of Shukaku? If you are not confusing them, could you tell me where you heard this from? 69.151.56.157 20:22, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Another Defense

I'm pretty sure Sand Cocoon is its own technique, and it should be listed as such. Gaara, master of sand 23:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The databooks don't give any indication that it's a separate jutsu. The variant-like qualities mentioned with Shield of Sand should suffice. ~SnapperTo 23:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thunder God of Sand

If I recall correctly, this technique (used in the second movie) grounded out all her electrical powers rather than absorbing other electricity from the area and redirecting it to her. At the very least, if there is no consensus on the issue, we should probably say that it was simply used to nullify her electical abilities without going into a more detailed discussion as to how. Thoughts? ApokalypseCow 15:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, In that fight scene she is surrounded by the sand needle, then shot with lightning coming out of the needles. It seems like her electricity was absorbed and redirected at her, though you may be right. Gaara, master of sand 16:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the movie tonight again and see. From my perspective, it would seem that any lightning directed at Ranke would simply be absorbed and used against Gaara, and that the way to get around her electric defenses would be to ground out all her electricity - but that's just supposition on my part (not that I advocate applying real-world physics to a cartoon). If anything though, the description as it is right now feels a little clumsy. I'll see if I can come up with a more concise one later. If nothing else, we can just say that the attack was used to neutralize her electrical powers, allowing Gaara to hit with his other attack. ApokalypseCow 17:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. Gaara, master of sand 02:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sand Armor

Does Gaara keep his sand armor on all the time? Because whenever anyone hits him it shows up, but they say it needs lots of chakra. Gaara, master of sand 01:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Please, just read the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yxgtree (talk • contribs) 00:04, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

Insomnia

I don't suppose we have any idea if Gaara still suffers from insomnia once his Biju has been extracted? ApokalypseCow 13:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
