Gaara is a character whose appearance is very typical of the series Naruto.
He has black panda eye circles because he rarely sleeps (so that Shukaku doesn’t take over) and there is a symbol on his forehead.
What is the meaning and origin of the symbol on Gaara’s forehead?
1. The symbol was created, naturally Gaara doesn’t have the symbol
You should know first that the symbol on Gaara’s forehead hasn’t appeared since he was born, of course (but Gaara hasn’t had eyebrows since he was born).
He created this symbol himself and has a meaning behind the symbol, what is it?
2. The symbol on his forehead means “Love”, related to the meaning of the name “Gaara”
After being shunned by his family, shunned by a village, and even wanted to be killed by his own father, Gaara knew that he was not loved.
However, the meaning of the name Gaara is quite scary. Gaara means “Devil Who Loves Himself”.
Therefore he carved the word “Love” in Japanese on her forehead using his sand. So Gaara’s forehead is a permanent wound.
3. What is Gaara’s goal? As the name suggests, he will live his own way and love himself (because initially no one loved him)
The symbol on Gaara’s forehead became a sign for himself. If no one loves him, then as the name suggests, he will love himself.
Since then, Gaara has lived his life in his own way, which has made him evil and dangerous.
However, after meeting Naruto, after repairing relations with his two older brothers, he became… Kazekage, Gaara realized that he could also be loved by other people. Gaara became better after that.
That is the explanation and meaning of the symbol on Gaara’s forehead, what do you think?
