Well it's true, what you say, but we have seen the full extent of gaaras powers now, but we are yet to see kankuros. He beat sasori and deidara like nothing, and I would say gaara had better backups, also the emotions from his father was partly the reason he won, where the same can be said about kankuro vs sasori.What do u mean except failures he only lost to deidara and that was out of technicalities -_- he hasn't lost to anyone else unless u count naruto who really didn't fight gaara Just a pre demon
He won against sasuke (it wouldve counted as a lost if sasuke didn't Persue him)
To me kimmi would've defeated gaara if tht last move would've been made but then again if gaara becomes unconscious (at the time talking) the demon would've killed kimmi
Not counting fillers
Against deidara only lost cuz deidara used village as hostage
Briefly fought sasuke ended no contest
Fought his dad won
Beirfly fought 3rd raikage no contest naruto took over tht battle while gaara went to mizukage
He won against mizukage
Briefly fought muu
Now fighting madara
Now in terms of battling how can u put gaara and kankuro in same boat if they clearly didn't have the same amount of battles or even close gaara in terms of battle and sthregth is below naruto and around sasuke (untill sasuke gets power up to tie with naruto)
And again as I recall it that "village as hostage" he used that as a distraction to form some bombs of the sand and place it in it, so when gaara pulled his shield back, the bombs were inside. That trick could have gotten him in other ways as well.
To summarize I just believe other abilities needs to be accounted for as well in order to rank them. And where Gaara has matured a lot with leadership, so has kankuro. Kankuro can be more tricky, and he his also faster and close combat, where gaara needs distance and mass sand. They have same weakness, where you could say that gaaras defense is a lot better, but 1 attack from kankuro can be a lot more fatal than an attack from gaara. Also the advantage of using puppets is the fact that if the opponent knows too little about them, he wont know what abilities they have, where gaaras ability basicly is an open book.
IMO Gaaras greatest strength lies in his defensive/long range abilities. Where kankuro is more sneaky, and got better chances against opponents who are even stronger than him.
