I made sure I raed through the previous posts, and i had a few comments. For all those people that were complaining about pages being wasted...C'mon this will eventually need to fill a season, you can't just breeze through. Plus it adds to the suspense of the battle.


i didn't like how they spoon fed us with gaara's change, they could sum it up in a few sentences and get it over with, and they wouldn't have made me feel like i'm watching the 'and remember kids, don't touch drugs' corner...
Spoon fed nothing! I dont think you got the importants of this scene. Maybe you should read the manga again, or read Lobster magnet's post ( I think he summed up the whole idea perfectly!4th page) Basically the scene between Gaara and kankaru explains his sacrifice and his overal change. If this was shorter it would not have the same impact. So do not dismiss Kishimoto's genius.

Wow, maybe i got too serious!!! Well I loved this chapter.....as you can tell by the above comments ...my favorite scene was the Gaara and kankaru. Just because I am the biggest self-proclaimed Uzumaki naruto fan ... So by Gaara saying that he looked up to him really brought a smile to my face. But also the deeper meaning that it holds. Now if i got it right, gaara collapsed because he ran out of chakra since he saved the village. But he still had his perfect defense on( it was cracked but it was still on like the lee/sasuke vs gaara match).I remember them saying that it needed a great deal of chakra for it to be maintained. So my question is how can he run out of chakra and still have it on...it should have desintegrated into sand or something?Or does this indicate that he was captured on purpose ?

I can't wait for the next chapter ....Naruto comes in the picture ....i don't know about you guys but this self-proclaimed #1 naruto fan will be glued to the computer.
