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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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).
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)

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)
hey um guys, dus any1 noe wat episode number was the one where gaara and sasuke fight in the chunin exams? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TranscendantX ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
Gaara and Edgar Allan Poe have the same birthday- January 19th. We should put that in somehow.
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)
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)
arent they the same thing? ugh, you guys are confusing me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.46 ( talk) 11:02, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
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)
Okay, just curious. Thank you. Ichliebezuko ( talk) 16:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
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)
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)
Shukaku does have large black rings surrounding it's eyes- Sharingan1679 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.145.124 ( talk) 21:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
If you guys read fanfiction, you'll see some people actually interpret those circles as eyeliner. It's usually for AU though, especially if they don't want to explain all about the Shukaku. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.50.246 ( talk) 08:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
But if Gaara's circles are from insomnia, then can someone please tell me what Gaara's demon mark is? Naruto has his whiskers and that cat-woman had the slitted eyes, which makes me think that all of the demon hosts have to have some sort of mark on them. It would make just as much sense if the rings around Garra's eyes are from insomnia, then what is his mark that he go from the Shukaku(sp?) and where is it?
I've rewritten several sections of the article (I'll get to the lead later). The character outline section needs to be heavily condensed and sourced, and the plot overview section could use some touching up too. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 04:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm still finding this rather difficult to understand. Some further examples:
Overall, though with careful and patient re-reading I can indeed piece together what's meant in this article, it's pretty tough going for someone who's not already familiar with the topic. And surely an encyclopedia should be directed precisely at such people?
I'm going to do a little more editing myself to try to help matters out. But I fear that my edits will reveal only how unclear the prose is at present. -- jbmurray ( talk| contribs) 00:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I deleted that part of Yashamaru. As pointed before, the in-universe info is very big compared to the out-of. Increasing the in-universe will make it worse. That part of Yashamaru is not really necessary. Tintor2 ( talk) 18:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=b49450J6MhY Kid becomes sand hero imitating Gaara. Worthy of inclusion? Kakama ( talk) 22:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that the article says that Gaara's age is 12-13 in Part 1, but it doesn't have his age in Part II. Also, it says that his ninja rank is the 5th Kazekage, but he doesn't become that until Part 2. What's up with that? I'm kinda confused. A pyrate's life for me... ( talk) 17:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
In the cover of chapter 411 there is a date about a new book that will be released on September 4th. Is that a new databook?-- Tintor2 ( talk) 20:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I think there should be some mention of gaaras eyes rings/weariness in part II. originally gaara didnt sleep much because the shukaku would take control of him when he slept, hence his noticeable black rings around his eyes. now that he is no longer host, youd figure that his rings would dissappate but they are firmly in place. i think its atleast worth a mentioning.
