wrong guy went over
seriously why was gaara booked so ABSURDLY overpowered in the first 3 seasons? literally no reason to make him so dominant especially as a CHILD.
hell some late season big bads werent nearly as overpowered as gaara was. he single handedly killed the push naruto was getting in the US, kids tuned out went gaara kept going over in sqash matches. wasnt much longer after his reign of terror over the chunin that naruto got booted off tv for cartoon network.
