Gaara's poor performance as a Kage.

[Belserion]

I'm specifically talking about him contributing to both 5 Kage battles. He was perfoming the worst in both fights against Madara and the Ototsuki.

He had the "sealing" Job and was a distraction to Madara. Nothing more nothing less. Everyone even Mei, who in my opinion also perfomed poorly, gave Madara a harder time.

Gaara wasn't even present in most team attacks- on screen.

He was outshined by Tsunade who actually is a support type.

And He didn't do much against Momoshiki either. He supported Darui to engage Momoshiki in close combat but didn't fight Momoshiki directly himself. I assume his taijutsu is still undeveloped and inferior to CE Lee.

 

[MomoSaka]

Missed opportunity tbh.

 

[Belserion]

Missed opportunity tbh.

I think so too. I don't even know if Gaara is truly Kage level at this point.

 

[GetsugaTenshou]

Gaara would stomp every Kage but Naruto in a 1 v 1. Imagine the disrespect

Hmm.. No he would lose to Ay and Ohnoki.
But that isn't even the topic. It's about his Performance during the five Kage battles. I don't disrespect, I'm judging a character and his Performance with the best of my ability and the evidence I was given

 

[Kakooli]

me waiting for jinyo's comment!!! :axedance:

but yes...gaara's character could have been a preserved by letting him stay dead vs deidara! poeple could make excuses thet he nerfed himself in that fight and then spoke about his potential if he lived...

teh illusion iz greater than teh reality!!!

Yeah but you have to consider that he'd been fighting throughout the entire war and pretty much carrying his entire division (alongside Naruto) whereas the other four Kage with the exception of Ohnoki just joined in for the Madara fight. And against Momo it was best he didn't use his abilities which are all ninjutsu based because they would just be absorbed and fired right back at him which would inconvenience not just him, but the other Kage as well

 

[Shanks]

Probably he was kid and growing up . :kk:

 

[Jinrou]

Well this is incorrect starting with the fact Tsunade clearly distinguishes herself from support type when she unleashes Byakugo against Madara. Its clear if you can comprehend her statement about those who unleash Byakugo and what not

The rest aren't even worth addressing as it seems some Gaara fan somewhere might have rustled you or sth xD

 

[Shogo Makishima]

I hope you're not one of those who think Sakura has a chance against him

 

[GetsugaTenshou]

Well this is incorrect starting with the fact Tsunade clearly distinguishes herself from support type when she unleashes Byakugo against Madara. Its clear if you can comprehend her statement about those who unleash Byakugo and what not

Yeah didn't Tsunade pretty much say that with Byakugo activated, she can serve as a frontline combatant?

Oh right I forgot about that. Didn't she say she isn't an ordinary medical ninja? I think it was something along the line.

And no, no one rustled me. How did you come up with that conclusion?

 

[Jinrou]

lol yeah... I was hoping for a chance to further preach Gaara's awesomeness when i saw the title but clearly the OP doesn't even have his facts right.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

Gaara did fine imo. His main strength lies in his defensive abilities while the opponents from OP needed strong offensive abilities and there were other Kages who were better than Gaara in that regard so its wise to let them take the lead and play support instead.

 

[Tauren Chieftain]

well he had better performance than mei terumi thats sure and terrible performance against momo, so yeah .

 

[Umari Senju]

So we are going to pretend that he didn’t:

pull Madara from his Susanoo when everyone was getting wrecked.
Saving other Shinobi from Madara’s onslaught by replacing them with sand clones.
Helped Oonoki stop the first meteor Madara dropped on the SA
Helped Naruto stop Edo Muu
Helped the SA stop 2nd Mizukage.
Supported the Bijuu (specifically Shikaku) against one eyed Madara

I’ll give you the Kage fights sure. Missed opportunity. but dude isn’t a close range fighter for one and in the case of the Otsutsuki he only had the use of the sand in his gourd to fight with since they were in another dimension iirc.


All and all, I think he did spendidly

 

[Uverdore9]

Gaara became the support-type he wasn't meant to be.

 

[Melanin]

I don’t think his performance against Madara was poor, it was just overshadowed by everyone else’s. I would like to think he did just as good as Mei but not as good as the other kages.

 

[123fire]

What can gaara possibly do to god level opponents?

 

[DrProof]

Laughable.
