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)

i don't know why, either. i think we should put it back in. i would, but i'm not exactly sure what gaara's bloodtype is. i think it was b positive.Ichliebezuko 14:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually it's AB. I remember looking at it before. Type AB Best Traits: Cool, controlled, rational, logical, sense of equity. Worst Traits: Critical, indecisive, double character, cavalier.

That's from the Wikipedia article on it. Addie777 04:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I found his bloodtype on www.leafninja.com/biographies. They said it was AB. Ichliebezuko (talk) 17:01, 11 December 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)

Well it seems that there is some argument whether the filler episodes are considered canon. If i recall correctly, it is also in the filler episodes where gaara's weakness is the water, this should be taken into consideration.Eru illuv 09:47, 11 September 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)

He is right, sand halberd is not used at least in manga. Tintor2 14:37, 22 September 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)

Hey dude what happened to the main image of Gaara, maybe I can give you a good one of a 13 years old Gaara. What do you think? Tintor 21:42, 25 September 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)

No —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yxgtree (talk • contribs) 00:06, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

clash of the ninja?

those two (ougi's/specials) are from the ultimate ninja/narutimate hero game series... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.203.96.197 (talk) 09:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Drilling air bullets

Should the drilling air bullets ability that shukaku uses be counted under the abilities section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.248.201.11 (talk) 01:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Since that's Shukaku's ability and this is Gaara's article, no. ~SnapperTo 02:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

We don't have an article for Shukaku, and Gaara is about as close as is gets. 69.150.233.94 22:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Look again. You Can't Review Me!!! 22:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Birthday

Gaara and Edgar Allan Poe have the same birthday- January 19th. We should put that in somehow.

• No, we definitely shouldn't. JuJube (talk) 02:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

What relevance would that have to the article anyway? I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, but I don't really think that has anything to do with Gaara's character. Ichliebezuko (talk) 16:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Isn't Poe a horrory kinda guy? Seeing how in Part I Gaara is pure evil, there might be some connection!? Ingo yeah is really Hades, God Of The Underclass 20:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC) (my page)

Registration ID

Do you guys think Gaara's registration ID # would be important to the article at all? I saw on another site that it was 56-001, but I didn't want to add it to the article without asking you guys about it first. Ichliebezuko (talk) 17:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it would be nice to have it on the page, but you should probably get someone else's opinion. I think you should find the ID#s of the other characters before you consider putting it on, though. That way, all the Naruto characters' pages would be more uniform. A pyrate's life for me... (talk) 16:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Registration numbers have no significance whatsoever. The article does not suffer through its absence. ~SnapperTo 17:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, just curious. Thank you. Ichliebezuko (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Circles Around Eyes

The English version and various forums all say the dark circles around the eyes are due to insomnia, not acquiring traits of the tailed beasts. I don't know what the Japanese version says, but considering that the vast majority of sources do not agree with the statement, I think it should be removed... or at least explained that the statement only applies to the Manga, to the Japanese video, it is an opinion (not a statement from the show), or whatever the case may be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.158.3.3 (talk) 01:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

We're speaking from an out-of-universe perspective, I believe. Stylistically. –Gunslinger47 01:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I've seen the Japanese version and it clearly states that it's because of insomnia (Gamabunta observes this and says that if the host of the Shukaku falls asleep, Shukaku eats away at their personality). JuJube (talk) 06:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

But he's saying that in the out-of-universe perspective (which the Article NEEDS), the circles resemble that of the tanuki, similar to in an out-of-universe perspective Naruto's whiskers resemble the whiskers of a fox.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I see... I guess. But the statement that the Japanese version doesn't say that it's insomnia is patently false. JuJube (talk) 12:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Does Shukaku (1-tailed sand demon) even have dark circles around the eyes? It looks more like the pupils are black instead of white, rather than circles around eyes. I think it is ridiculous to keep the statement in, as both the US and Japanese show contradict the statement in the article, by saying the circles are caused by insomnia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.158.3.3 (talk) 01:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

In-universe, the rings are explained by insomnia. Out-of-universe, the character design is meant to reflect the inner tanuki demon. –Gunslinger47 03:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Shukaku does have large black rings surrounding it's eyes- Sharingan1679
