i really don't mind flash backs and alot of the time there important and then theres time where they could have been done without

as long as the flash back is in the manga i guess its fine but if you get some random memory "oh i fought haku like this " that really is just random i don't see why it is needed only to drag the story line on a lil bit longer

and might i add that 75 and 76 flashbacks where both in the manga and therfore should be in the episode
its an important part of the story

i take it you would rather know nothing more about gaara then that he's twisted for no reason
