The flashback was reworded and reanimated compared to how it was shown in the Part 1, I don't understand why people are complaining about it especially when some people have started from Shippuden.

It's better showing Part 1 flashbacks in Part 2 then Part 2 flashbacks anyways so I'm happy to see it again.

Great episode, can't wait for everything to unfold slowly!

Alright, that fight was a bit boring but the pacing was okay. A mother's gift is beautiful:





bunch of flashbacks occupied half of the episode. :/ Go on with the story, and stop making me cry damn it!
Anyways I am glad that Gaara got to hear that his mother indeed loved him. That scene was beautiful, with the sand in the shape of his mother.

i loved this episode,it was so brilliant.as i said before gaara had a painful life because of his father.he never believed in his son or showed any love.not every father is alike.example minato love his son more than anything and believed in him even after his death(he believed in him when Naruto was a baby in kushinas belly,remember he wanted his son to be powerfully like jiraya and he knew he will be great,now thats a father)wow what a father! at least in the end he knew what he did was wrong and gave him love he needed :3

I couldn't care less about there not being any action, or it containing flashbacks. As long as it's well-told. I'll take background- and character-building dialogue over stomach punches any day of the week. This was a great episode. The flashbacks are from effin years ago, people. It's good to get reminded from time to time. Especially in a series like this, with hundreds of episodes. Sure, we all might remember the gist of what happened to Gaara, but I found it great to get the build-up of emotions again - something I obviously lost a few eps past the original airing of Gaara's childhood years ago, as always - things like that don't stick around long on account of new shit happening. It really made the conclusion of this episode work tremendously.

My eyes went a bit foggy I have to say.

Why did Yashamaru attack him first? He was supposed to make Gaara emotional first. How can the Tsuchikage fly? Where does Gaara's father get that gold dust from?

Man I hope they next episode is a little happier. I know they're in a war, but that episode made me sad. Lol
All of Gaara's childhood memories are so sad.
It was a good episode though! I like Gaara, he's a good character.

So sentimental episode... But it was OK. I have always known that Yashamaru lied (ok, I didn't know). Now I undaerstand, why Gaara still has his sand. And in the next episode Itachi will fight! And Nagato also is going to be there! I love these guys!

Awww, I feel so glad for Gaara and his father that they had a chance for this chat and that Gaara finally knows the truth about his past. Really emotional and really nice episode. ^-^ :3
I find Gaara's dad a little admirable that he admits his mistakes and that Gaara forgave him.

Holy crap! Gaara is tiny AF! So that wasn't makeup around his eyes? lol
Gaara's past is resolved. The father leaves the village to Gaara.

I don't really like Gaara, but that was a beautiful episode nevertheless. :)

Anyone know what the soundtrack during the last few minutes of the episode is called?

Edit: the song is called "A Mother's Love". I need to learn to play this song on the violin.

Episode 297:

Good episode, it shows a regretful father who was awful with his son, put the village before his son, but there was something else... The love from Karura to Gaara that always protect him and is always there, even tough she died after Gaara was born

"There's just one thing that can heal a wound of the heart.... Love."

Gaara was born with eyeliner lol

Gaara was CLEARLY stronger than his dad. Very impressive. I love how Gaara's first attack was so powerful he assumed it was from the tailed beast! lol

So far, I think this has been the only reanimation that actually had a significant and new role in the story. Gaara has gotten the most character development in this entire series. This was an tremendous reveal for him.
