Gaara of the Sand is probably one of the best developed characters In the series, if not the best . His childhood was overwhelmed by extreme animosity and hatred unknown even to the likes of other jinchuriki such as Naruto, perpetrated by his very own family.

Gaara's tragic plight began with prematurity, closely followed by the death of his mother and sealed in style with the fate of become a jinchuriki; all moments after his very first breath of life.

Gaara become the ultimate weapon for Sunagakure, something to be used and abused. Gaara tried to reach out to people but his efforts were always in vain. His uncle Yashamaru being the only person to accept Gaara. The rest blamed him for the rampage caused by the beast within him. His own siblings feared him. His own father tried to have him assassinated many times but Gaara kept going.

Yashamaru then abandoned Gaara telling him that no one cared about Gaara. His own sister died in an effort to kill him as a baby.

The trauma made him the sadistic and extremely cold genin we all remember, in an effort to protect himself from ever being hurt again.

Gaara's swag and power was on another level. He schooled the rookies. Gaara's remorseless and sociopathic nature, demonstrated when he murdered Baiu and Midare as they begged for their lives. And we all recall what happened to Rock Lee. After being defeated for the very first time by the infamous TnJ, Gaara decided to find himself again and reach out to people.

Despite having everyone against him, in just 2 years Gaara made it to the very top. He became a Kage. No Iruka sensai by his side, no great Sannin supporting him, no fanboys.

Even the Second Mizukage called Gaara the "golden egg amongst the Kage". It's no surprise given he single handedly United the entire shinobi alliance. Politics forced then together,

Gaara is the man every arc he is involved in. It's almost as if he is a main character. Seein being useful. In the end he repaid Naruto

Kage at 15! !! One of the best character development examples. I didn't bother listing his feat or battle experience. We all know what he's capable of. #GaaraBase

Part 1 Gaara was the best Gaara. That was the Gaara who wasn't a Naruto fanboy.

I don't think he was a fanboy. He was genuinely grateful. But he didn't make it out as though Naruto had all the answers to every problem.

I agree

Kabuto in my opinion had an amazing character development. Kishi did a good job on him, and Gaara

What does that mean? And why is it a bad thing? Everyone says that about Gaara and it makes no sense to me.

I appreciate part 1 Gaara and his defense. When he became a full-on Naruto wanker after being revived by Chiyo he lost a lot of my respect for him. That aside, I did enjoy the moment he had with his father in part 2 and his interactions with Lee.
