When you see threads like this one folks you just got to agree with them.
No need discussing if they think gaara can defeat nagato.
No need discussing if they think gaara can defeat nagato.
1. that's what im saying, his missles/lasers can use it as a diversion.. addition to his wide range of attacks and as a defense as well.1. I already mentioned in the original post how it could be used to attack, nothing new there. Defensively it's good at close range, and against people, not sand.
2. I've addressed this as well. If he uses the bird it will be crushed just like Deidaras was, and if he uses the chameleon Gaara still has sand sensing to find it's location. Summons are the least of the problems, along with Asura.
3. I know how it works, but it's not going to help him much against Gaara. If he chooses to recover his body then he'll be defenseless while he's inside the King of Hell. This is not Pain, there will be no other Paths around to protect him. Also, since it's the real Nagato we're talking about I highly doubt he'll keep reviving the summons if they're just going to keep getting crushed. Besides, Gaara can seal the summons so that they can't be revived.
4. This has been addressed as well, re-read the thread. It's just a theory o' mine bro don't hate. lol
5. If Gaara is grounded with his sand he will not be able to pull him in, thus not allowing the Human Path to extract Gaaras soul.
6. Nagato using Universal Pull to steal Gaaras gourd? And you thought I was crazy. I've already explained how Gaara can survive Chibaku Tensei, you haven't provided any reasons as to why he wouldn't. Posting CT >>>> Gaara's defense doesn't mean anything without the evidence to back it up.
7. Your stupid crab can get the battlefield as wet as he wants. lol Gaara can still take to the skies. A little bit of rain ain't gonna stop the sand man.
You are one of the biggest Gaara fanboys after saying he can beat Nagato you must be dreaming. It's like comparing a cat to a lion it's just obserd. You have underrated Nagato one of the main antagonist who wiped out the hidden leaf in one move and would of captured naruto. You should be embarrassed.

Please read first.
I'm going to go trough each path and ability that Nagato has, and show you how Gaara can possibly counter all of them, and defeat a live Nagato WITHOUT GEDO MAZO. Not all of these points are concrete, and some of these are theories. Whether you agree or not is up to you.
1. Asura path - This is probably the least threatning path to Gaara. As long as he can keep his distance he poses no threat besides the missiles which can be disposed of by either blocking, or changing it's course with the sand. Whatever this path does is easily countered by Gaaras auto defense.
2. Animal Path - Each and every summon can easily be defeated by simply crushing them, the only one that would give Gaara some trouble would be the Multi-headed dog which he can seal. Also, because Gaara can attack with his sand in more places than one, and from the ground up the linked vision between the summons will be of no use.
3. Naraka Path/Outer Path - Pretty much useless in this fight, Nagato isn't pain, and has no need to revive any bodies.
4. Preta Path - As long as Gaara does not attack with the sand in his gourd Preta Path won't be able to absorb anything. The only sand that Gaara uses that is infused with his chakra is the sand in his gourd as stated by Deidara. Once he realizes that his chakra is being drained he can just use regular sand. This is the reason that Gaara without the Shukaku has been able to last so long in the war without tiring. Think about it.
5. Human Path - This can pretty much kill anyone, and anything if caught, but I don't think Nagato will be able to bring Gaara into his range. I'll explain this next.
6. Deva Path - Both Universal Pull and almighty push can be countered by Gaara grounding himself with the sand. He's done this to his opponents (Kimimaro, his Father, etc.), and there's no reason to say he couldn't do it to himself. It would be somewhat similar to how Tsunade was planning to counter Pain by concentrating chakra to her feet, but unlike Tsunade Gaara still has his auto-defense to minimize the effects of Shinra Tensei. He can use this same method to survive Chibaku Tensei. Gaara has been shown to be able to dig with his sand down to depths of 200 meters, probably even more now. If he were to latch onto his feet with his sand being that deep he's not going anywhere.
Side Notes:
- Nagatos biggest downfall in this fight is that he cannot move, if had the ability to move around he would destroy Gaara. I see him either being crushed or buried, heck, probably both.
- I'm not saying that Gaara would own him, or that he would win every time, but unlike many other characters in the manga he has a solid chance of doing it alone.

THANK YOU SIR. I also hate the fact that people bring this up like gaara would've won elsewhere under different circumstances... he had the home field advantage and still did not win. get over it. gaara is cool but he is not invincible. hence he been beaten multiple times...
sigh i hate when people bring up the "gaara was protecting the village" ... you look at gaaras ONE disadvantage, and forget many things, like gaaras advantage.. geographically.. Deidara's TWO disadvantages, having like 1 bag of clay, and inability to kill gaara by request... deidara even said "It was much more difficult not killing him than i thought ....yeah"
deidara hints if it was a fight to kill, it would have been a totally different thing..
but anyway , I digress, totally offtopic
