about gaara's name
sabaku no gaara means "Gaara of [the] Desert" not sand, which is "suna" --208.71.222.81 01:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

"Sabaku no Gaara" (砂瀑の我愛羅) doesn't literally mean "Gaara of the Desert". It means "Gaara of the Sand Waterfall". The Japanese word for "Desert" (砂漠) is pronounced the same, making Gaara's nickname a kind of pun. --ShounenSuki 12:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It's a mistake I made when updating the infoboxes with semantics. We fixed it on the Animepedia, but I haven't had a chance yet to fully run the sync bot to send out the updates. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Apr 24, 2008 @ 22:32 (UTC)

Gaara Nature Types
Gaara has a Earth Affinity because in the anime, and possibly the manga, it states that he his able to crush rocks in the earth to make more sand. (This obviously implies that he uses his chakra to do this, not his hands or body, and because of this it points to a Earth Affinity. Also sand in itself is rock, and rock is what the Earth Affinity uses.) Gaara is also able to use: Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet, and Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud Great Breakthrough, which shows his Wind Affinity. (Although he is in Post Transformation when he is shown using these, it is still Gaara, and his chakra to some extent.)
 * I would say that the wind affinity is Shukakus affinity. When he is using Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet, Gaara is asleep. The power to crush stones could be Shukakus wind chakra too, a demon with power enough to fight Gamabunta should have no problem crushing stone with his chakra. Jacce 05:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say we don't know for certain what exactly Gaara's affinity is or what chakra natures he can use. We shouldn't speculate either. --ShounenSuki 09:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Then it is settled. We remove his chakra affinity until someone comes with solid proof. Jacce 09:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
