Kishimoto has tried to give a romantic moment in the sad story of Gaara ... Stating that the nature of that power was the love of his mother. But Kishimoto gave too many different versions is everything suggests that Gaara, in one way or another has Magnet release. many times it has been said that the ability to control the sand is possessed by Shukaku and his junkiuriki. Karura was not jinkurighi of Shukaku, then she can not have this ability. Seelentau wrote: That's not what I meant. I meant that Karura was alive when Gaara had the eye markings. However, her will lived on in Gaara's sand, after she died.

And by the way, why does Gaara have the eye markings when it's his mother's chakra that controls the automatic defense? If anyone, wouldn't Karura be the one with Magnet Release? A possible explanation could be this: The will of Karura has the effect of keeping the active Magnet release of Gaara and it operate automatically to defend her son.
