And Kishi gave it back the end

YAAAAY!! GAARA STILL HAS HIS MOMMY-GOURD!!! Okay, so the last time we saw Gaara (after he died, had an affair with Naruto, etc.) Shukaku had just been extracted from him, he wasn't wearing his gourd, and there was the faintest hint of sand caressing Naruto's hand as they parted-- you know, as though Gaara had just a tiny bit of sand jutsu left??? I was really worried that Kishimoto was gonna de-bamf Gaara!

But, as we can see in Chapter 453, HE HAS HIS GOURD!!!


I firmly believe that he threatened to eat Kishi's entrails if he was castrated from his epicness. Kankuro confirms that this has not been done.


This isn't really a spoiler. It's just, like, one panel in the manga, confirming that, you know, Suna still exists.
