Can you blame Gaara for supporting Naruto? Dude saved him from his demons. Apply that to yourself, and you'd be greatful af to your liberator. Gaara's Character in the War Arc only peaked higher.

Leadership skills showed.
Powerwise, he skyrocketed.
Emotionally he developed.

He improved so much in the War Arc.

Lmao @ saying Gaara was trash.

Yeah you're right, and I'm not saying that Gaara shouldn't be grateful to Naruto, or that he's a bad character for agreeing with Naruto. Gaara is a great character, but I just don't see him as a perfect character. Same with Neji, Nagato and Obito. All these guys were turned by Naruto when they could have had enough sense from the beginning to think for themselves instead of being taken by darkness, but this is how the story was supposed to go so I can't argue about it

I appreciate characters that go through hell and still have enough sense to make the right decisions, and not have to be picked up by other people, Kakashi, Jiraiya etc.

@ Bold. Well you have to understand Gaara 110% to know why he couldn't simply overcome the darkness. He was born into Darkness. Only light from the outside can purify such deep malevolence. Peep this thread written by DrProof:

Love I

Love; The strongest emotion one can experience in his/her lifetime. Love can drive a man crazy, delusional, ultimately making, or breaking one's character. This simple, yet complicated sentiment of life is so eccentric even the most complex of minds haven't fully grasped its concept, literally love is boundless, knowing no limit as to what form, or shape it wishes to manifest. Martin Luther King Jr. had captured a great quote about the value of love in a troubled souls life: Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.




Pain I

Just imagine, coming into life, not knowing your left from your right, the difference between good, and bad, and the feeling of love; clueless essentially to the basics of life. This was Gaara, a fragile child brought into the world publicly on a whim as an , resulting in all of which Gaara did not understand at the time. those very thoughts must have lingered in his young, feeble mind.

Gaara wasn't the monster, the village was. Judging a boy, not by his actions, nor character, but by the vast perception of the villager's ideologies; The Sand demon's prison - An experiment - A Human? No, a Monster in human skin. , still the burden of being an outcast stubbornly persisted. ; a book with a displeasing cover, no one would try to understand its contents.





Q: Why did you choose a Swan as a Symbolism, and why is it Black?

A: White Swans are the symbol of love, nurture, care. However, it is not limited to those meanings specifically, which I will answer in the next question.

Q: What does the Black Swan represent?

A: A deep mystery longing to be free, to be expressed. Essentially you could look at the Black Swan as the Yin of the White Swan's Yang, opposite, yet one in the same. While the White Swam symbolizes love, and understanding, the Black Swan symbolizes hate, and misunderstanding or mysteriousness.





Pain & Love I


Remember your first kiss? That warm feeling you'd get inside your stomach, you'd become all nervous, and jittery knowing the action you had just performed with your significant other was truly amazing, and if he/she felt the same, thinking to yourself: "is this love? Yeah this must be what it feels like"; Love.

Or​

Remembering your first cut? That warm feeling you'd get inside your injury, the blood rushing out, your brain quickly processing the information, then seconds later you'd feel the the true result of your wound? Thinking to yourself: "why does it hurt so bad? Am I going to die?"; Pain.

Imagine not being able to know the feeling of either emotion, what would they feel like, would love be pain? Or perhaps pain might be love? You would never know, you have been placed in a similar child's shoes; Gaara's.

, but how can pain be besieged, when love has been nonexistent ever since birth? It can't. Your own father, someone who you idolized, looked up to as mentor, a teacher, your go-to guidebook on life decisions, .. Maternal love nowhere in sight, , showed his true colors during his dying moments, it wasn't love, deep down, Gaara's only loved one Yashimaru, , which again wasn't Gaara's fault. Yashimaru could choose two paths, acceptance, or negligence; Yashimaru chose the later, choosing to blame Gaara for the village's rash decision.

Pain was all Gaara knew. Love was a figment of his imagination, what the hell was this fairy tale known as Love? How could he possibly attain such a thing? Especially with the information he had just come to know:

  • He was a failed experiment, a mistake; A Monster in the eyes of everyone.
  • His Father resented him, his Mother wished him to never be born, giving him his name out of sheer disgust in what she had brought into the world.
  • The one who he had truly thought cared for him, had only hidden his true emotions deep down inside; Yashimaru resented him.
  • Furthermore, his Father gave orders to assassinate his only son, Gaara.

Finding Love, when you've only experienced Pain? How is it possible? Simple:





The Black Swan


Years later, embracing the emotion known as Pain. This emotion had abruptly become Love in his mind. The only thing Gaara needed to feel love was through the pain of others. Similar to how caring is essential for love, , paying the blood as a tribute to his Mother, with his twisted, and distorted way of symbolizing mutual love for one another.

No, what Gaara was paying tribute to, wasn't his Mother, but Shukaku, The Sand Demon trapped deep inside, awaiting impatiently to break free of his restraints, negatively influencing his personality, . In his eyes, the more blood, the more affection he would claim from his "mother".

Gaara within this mindset was misunderstood, and consumed by pure-hatred from the influence of others. Unknowing of what the true aspects of Love truly were, and what they represented. Gaara defined, and symbolized an outcast; .





  • This is just my idea of the symbolism for Gaara's emotional journey through Naruto, it could symbolize really an infinite amount of things from another person's P.O.V, but this is mine.
  • This is Part I of my Symbolism.

You know what i like about gaara he admit that he follow naruto he is a straight-forward guy
I like guys who don't like to admit Naruto was right from the get go. People who give Naruto and his ideals a run for his money. That man is Sasuke, Gaara was weak willed.

Can you blame Gaara for supporting Naruto? Dude saved him from his demons. Apply that to yourself, and you'd be greatful af to your liberator. Gaara's Character in the War Arc only peaked higher.

Lmao @ saying Gaara was trash.

Naruto/Team 7 saved Sasuke from his lonelines. in Part 1, did that stop him from going rouge. Ultimately he had a mission to accompish something Naruto couldn't fill. His parents were also slaughtered and he saw them being murdered. Yet though his team made him feel like a family, he didn't hesitate to say that " Naruto you know nothing about me". Gaara could have questioned him further or even ask for further clarification if he is confused like Sasuke. Look he should be grateful but not to the point where your whole motive to become a Kage is because 1 man friendzoned you and said that he felt your pain.

Kakashi was a better leader than Gaara but ok I commend him for at least showing his power as a Kage. Powerwise he did but this doesn't make him a perfect character at all. Edo Madz solos btw. It's about time he emotionally developed. While he takes years pondering about his resolve, Naruto takes just few seconds to emotionally develop especially when it comes to resolves. Look he hated Sasuke with a passion but when it came to the point where his life was in danger he would selflessly attempt to get him back, Gaara would have to been told that shit.He is just a bland character.

Go read DrProof's thread I just posted to Dannie. You don't know Gaara's character if you think he's bland.

You know what, now that I think about it, Gaara didn't really have any friends when he was little, and his mother died when he was born. His father assigned anbu members to assassinate him(his own son), and he had a tailed beast inside him which made everyone fear him.

I guess it is a good thing that he looks up and admires Naruto since Naruto was pretty much the first person to save him from the darkness.

Yeah, Gaara had a terrible life but he turned out a good character.

And his uncle the only person who he thought truly loved him, hated him because he'd thought his sister's death (Gaara's mother) was Gaara's fault because of the death by pregnancy. Betrayal at its finest.

I'm glad that you see Gaara in a different light man.

What about itachi..he is perfect and not terrible at the same time

Itachi also has his flaws, his main one is that he's good enough to have his own manga instead of being a side character. In terms of sticking to a role Sakura is better cause she doesn't interfere with the MC but as an overall character Itachi is obviously the best.

``Sticking to a role"-sakura
What kind of stupid role
She first like sasuke on basis of his apperance and treat naruto as trash
Then sasuke leave the village and became rogue ninja she try to kill him and became nice to naruto
She even promise not be a burden but in the very end just due to plot she able to touch kaguya otherwise she is burden

The role of support, she doesn't show any flashy feats that take away the spotlight from Naruto and Sasuke nor does she interfere with the characters feud so we can focus on the relationship between Indra and Ashura. And she wasn't a burden which is why you never see her fight alongside Naruto and Sasuke.

No Human is perfect so don't expected a character to be perfect. Having imperfections and struggling to overcome ones weakness is the sign of good character development.

True.

Lol support doesn't have to mean fighting support, she supported Sasuke by never giving up on him and pushed Naruto to do the same, she helped Naruto in the war arc by healing the injured SA that would eventually help in extracting the bijuu from Obito. Most importantly, she stopped Kaguya from teleporting allowing her teammates to seal her.

She also took care of Sarada full time while Sasuke is busy travelling the world, and if her daughter ever awakens MS and turns out to be able to prevent blindness with Byakogou just know she gave Uchiha a way to use their power without sacrificing a sibling.

Sasuke is just stubborn
A guy who lie to his own self

No his pain was far worser than Gaara's or maybe equal. How can he blindly accept Naruto's words if Naruto knew nothing about him. Gaara could accept him as he was from the same nature as Naruto. Put yourself in Sasuke shoes and then tell me who is lying to themselves.

Oh yeah, I got distracted by my Gaara hate but also Minato being a perfect character is a joke at best.

> An irresponsible Sensei who claimed he was "busy" which caused the death of Rin. If he was there at least she wouldn't be forced to be the Sanbi's jinchuriki. Also let Obito slipped into darkness, leaving a whole in Kakashi's heart.

> He was a good father but he could've prevented his own death. Minato is so goddamn overrated as a character.

I agree he has depth to his character for sure and being viewed as a monster was terrible. Hence why I believe Part 1 Gaara was interesting. While he does need to look up to Naruto as that was his one best friend who saved him from the darkness, he also needs to develop his own resolve for why he wants to be a Kage, for why he wants to protect his own people. Is it because he enjoys doing it or he wants to become popular after making one friend that was his true friend. His basic reason as to why he wanted to become Kage was to get rid of the lonlieness and gain acceptance into this world. That sounds a lot like a certain character. I can understand the way he felt but after gaining acceptance I was never really into Gaara.

Gaara had a worse past than Sasuke. Sasuke had his whole clan murdered by his brother, that is sad no doubt. That's easily Top 5 material.

But Gaara was alone from the beginning, his father tried to have him killed. His father also sealed Shukaku inside of his son as an experiment. Literally he was the village's guinea pig, his uncle hated him, when Gaara thought he was the only family member to ever love him. Everything Gaara did was perceived as wrong.

At least Sasuke knew what love, and friendship was as a kid. Gaara didn't have the luxury for 13-14 years. That's longer than Sasuke had to deal with the death of the Uchiha clan.

Also you can't seclude Pt.1 and Pt.2 character development they are one in the same. Gaara had the most character development or should I say one of the best from Pt.1 to Pt.2 and that's all there really is to it. His resolve to become a Kage was actually to protect the people he loved, and to purify the sins he committed.

Gaara is much more than you give him credit for.

Whether both never realized what true love was whether it be motherly love or brotherly love. One's pain was >= another's. I have to go with Sasuke's pain is the worser one simply because watching your most beloved ones die in front of yout brother, is the worst confused feeling either. Itachi used Tsukuyomi to fuk with the mind of an 8 year old. Gaara's pain was horrible too, as his dad attempted to kill him 8 times with no avail but in the end he sort of figured out who he was, he got revenge at his attackers even though he was viewed as a tool. Sasuke was helpless and lonely in his childhood days, Gaara had Shukaku at least. He could've started a conversation.

But Gaara was alone from the beginning, his father tried to have him killed. His father also sealed Shukaku inside of his son as an experiment. Literally he was the village's guinea pig, his uncle hated him, when Gaara thought he was the only family member to ever love him. Everything Gaara did was perceived as wrong.

At least Sasuke knew what love, and friendship was as a kid. Gaara didn't have the luxury for 13-14 years. That's longer than Sasuke had to deal with the death of the Uchiha clan.

The timescale is a bit off. Sasuke lost everything when he was 7 or 8 and he was brutally lied to. When you really look up to someone and the sight of them excites you then that is true love. In one day everything was stripped from Sasuke. Sasuke was being deluded, he didn't know any love or even if he did it was probably the same amount as Gaara loving Yashamaru for a bit

Also I'm not here to argue who had the saddest childhood but rather I'm trying to discuss Gaara's character development after a certain point.

Also you can't seclude Pt.1 and Pt.2 character development they are one in the same. Gaara had the most character development or should I say one of the best from Pt.1 to Pt.2 and that's all there really is to it. His resolve to become a Kage was actually to protect the people he loved, and to purify the sins he committed.

Gaara is much more than you give him credit for.

Pt.1 Naruto had more char development than him but anyways he is still one of the most developed going from Part 1 to Part 2. His continuation story in Shippuden needed more expanding upon, Like how did he gain people's trusts since he was a serial killer, or what was his road to redemption etc...

Sakura is perfect. She has pink hair, can punch hard, and got the pretty boy of her dreams. What else is there to life?

Ugly pink hair
Punch hard but can't land on opponent just on rocks and boulder
Sasuke's redemption is the cause of sasusaku pairing
