Matsuri

is it me, or is that matsuri girl (gaaras student in episode 216) the gaara groupie in chapter 280?

Can you upload a screen cap and a pic from the manga? I don't have the episode nor the manga and would very much like to see what you're reffering to.

I believe this is who Rasen is referring to:

I haven't watched the episode though.

Well, she does resemble her. It would be cool if it were here. But I doubt it.

well there characters and events featured/ mentioned in part 2 in this episode. like the jounin counsol, that guy that kakurou gets pissed off at for bad mouthing gaara, and the training academy like konoha. so i think its safe to assume that she may be the groupie.
