Gaara Gourd Keychain

Here you’ll find our Gaara gourd keychain that is designed to look like Gaara’s sand gourd from the Naruto series.

Gaara’s sand gourd is a giant calabash-shaped gourd which the character Gaara carries around on his back. The outside of the gourd features symbols and red rope tied around its center. Inside the gourd is chakra-infused sand. This special sand is more easily manipulated by Gaara and used for his various techniques; however, the gourd itself can be broken down to make sand that Gaara can use. Additionally, if he requires more sand, minerals from his surroundings can be broken down to create more of it.

Since Gaara is the jinchuriki of Shukakau, his chakra-infused sand is freely manipulated by himself for both attack and defense. Although Gaara’s ability to control sand appears to remain even after Shukaku is removed from his body.

Since Gaara’s sand offers “Absolute Defense”, his usual battle strategy is to remain stationary when fighting and to instead use his sand to attack opponents from afar. These attacks by Gaara’s sand usually consist of trapping an opponent, binding them, and suffocating or crushing them to death. Although if enemies can get past these initial attacks and manage to attack Gaara, his sand will automatically form a shield around his body to protect him, even from those attacks which Gaara himself is not aware of.

Gaara’s sand also protects him beyond this initial shield. If any enemy is able to get past it by brute-force or high-speed, a secondary armor of sand forms over Gaara’s body. This secondary armor of sand is known as “Armor of Sand”, and while it certainly provides an extra layer of defense, it is not without its shortcomings. Unfortunately, maintaining it requires a lot of chakra, making it hard to sustain over longer periods of time. Additionally, it has to be initiated consciously by Gaara, rather than activating automatically like his “Shield of Sand” does. Another caveat of this armor is that it weighs Gaara down and isn’t as resilient to damage as his “Shield of Sand”; rather, crumbling away after receiving damage.

Due to Gaara’s sand’s high degree of malleability, it can be used for various unique techniques. For instance, Gaara has used it to protect others, forming a wall between an attacker and the person he’s defending, and even to create a shield of sand as large as the Hidden Sand Village (Sunagakure) itself.

If you’re a Gaara fan, then why not pick up the decorative and unique product that is our Gaara sand gourd keychain.
