lmfao! I know right! I feel bad for Gaara's uncle though. Damn. It's not Gaara's fault. It's his stupid village.

k. I take back it being Gaara's fault that he's like that.

:/

I still can't wait to see Naruto beat Gaara though...

I take it back...kick his ass Naruto!

Anyway, a pretty good background episode on Gaara. He's a pretty sympathetic guy, and all of his attempts to change were spit back in his face. It's no wonder he turned out the way he did.

I do feel a lot of pity for Gaara and it was pretty heartbreaking putting myself in his position. However, I thought the development was out of place, and just hard to watch. I wonder how Naruto's going to deal with the situation at hand. Looking forward to the next!

i almost never feel sorry or emotional for anime characters, but when i stopped to think about what was happening to Gaara i realised how horrible that would be. i mean sure, there are kids in worse spots in the world, but because of the attitude of cheerfulness the show gives off the dark outlook of this episode was....... different? anyway, i liked it.

So the hokage battle has been stuck in a stalemate for about the last four or five episodes. Why even cut to it? Nothing has changed!

why did yashamaru(idk the spelling), gaaras uncle tried to kill him? Did gaara's father send the uncle to kill him?

This fight between the Hokage and Orochimaru is moving at a Dragon Ball Z pace right about now.. It's giving me anxiety watching them go at it like that.. Come on!

Hopefully they explain more about why that lady tried to kill Gaara? Something tells me his father had something to do with it.. Maybe that's why she was wondering if Gaara could feel her pain?

Poor Gaara..I hope he's able to find love soon.

Awww I wish I could just go and hug Gaara, the poor thing. He just wanted to be loved and no one would. So heartbreaking. I would have been his friend :)

Poor Gaara. His father made him a monster. He couldn't make any friends. This episode was so touching. (btw. Gaara was so cute when he was young)

Quite interesting backstory of Gaara, but still don't like him that much even with that melodramatic backstory! Either way let's see what's next.

God this filler was annoying to sit through. Sorry, it appears I am in the minority on this episode. I thought it was boring, and added nothing.

É a primeira vez que comento aqui! Minha primeira vez assistindo Naruto e estou adorando. Bem, sobre o epsódio eu me surpreendi, achei que a Sakura seria mais irritante , mas como focou bastante no flashback do Gaara a sua incoveniência nao foi tao ruim. Já gostava do Gaara desde quando nao assistia, e agora gosto ainda mais! Espero que no próximo epsódio a luta nao seja fácil para Naruto...

I feel like both Naruto and Gaara could have been friends under difrent circumstances.
Considering how they were both viewed as freaks by everyone around them

Poor Gaara i relate to him so much his childhood was so painful as was mine and not knowing why others treat us badly when we are just kids, just makes things worse for our mental health. i feel for him he deserves better.
