Initially, he is less powerful than he was with Shukaku, but as with Naruto, true strength is found in protecting those you care about. Gaara, I believe, will eventually be stronger. He still is able to wield sand, and control his barrier still. I believe that all of his powers can be regained and eventually improved with his renewed strength that is found with having friends who help him and those he cares about enough to protect, such as in protecting Rock Lee againt Kimmimaro in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. And yes, I agree, that if Gaara does have someone to protect he will become 10 times stronger (or more) than before. Gaara protected Rock Lee from Kimimaro, and he actually stood a chance against Kimimaro, who's about as strong as Kakashi, and that Gaara is stronger than Drunk Lee, AND Fox Naruto together.
By blocking the force of Raikage's Lightning Kick (stronger than the power of Tsunade), blocking Amaterasu (an almost instant technique), and being made Commander General of the whole Allied Shinobi Forces, it is more likely he has gotten far stronger than what we would have expected, but this can only be stated true.

It is confirmed (Spoilers) Gaara has gotten far stronger than before. His sand speed is on par with Sasuke's Amaterasu, a technique that is believed to be almost instant. Gaara's sand defense is strong enough to block A's (well known for his strength) attack including his Raiton Armor (Raiton Release are usually seen to penetrate anything), including Sasuke's Amaterasu attacks, which do not seem to burn through his sand (Amaterasu burns through ANYTHING). His sand's offense is able to overpower his Father's Gold Dust, a technique which overpowers Shukaku's sand. His Automatic Sand Shield is revealed to his father that it is from his mother's true love, never from Shukaku's. Gaara has yet to reveal several more of his new powers. He has gotten stronger and is on par with the other S-Class Villain and Heroes.
Chiyo the old lady in episode 7 or 8 in Shippuden, used her life to save his. But Shukaku was not returned to him.
The spirit that was inside Gaara was one of the Jinjuriki. It was the first. The One Tailed Demon. Gaara was born with it when his father sealed it in him when he wasn't even born yet. There are nine total Jinjuriki's
Garra did not kill his mother. When Sasori's grandmother, Lady Chiyo sealed Shukaku inside him, his mother died at childbirth. So, actually it was Sasori's grandmother who caused Karura's death, with the sealing of Shukaku into Gaara before his birth.
can neji beat gaara probably not. Neji's close combat moves would be pretty useless and gaara could easily do sand burial. Although Neji is fast, Gaara's sand is faster. Plus if gaara let out the the Shukaku, neji would get owned big time. Neji would put up a fight though.
yes but the akatski take the Shukaku from him Shikaku=1 tails by sasukelover21- yes. gaara is a jinkuriki. he has the 1 tail inside of him. Gaara becomes the kazakae of the hidden sand. he is later captured by Deidara who kidnaps him and brings him to the akatski base. this is where he gets the demon extracted from him. otherwise known as the shukaku. (apologize for spelling) during this, he dies. no jinkuriki survives after getting it extracted. it is impossible. but Gaara comes back to life when a elder lady chiyo uses a jutsu on him to bring him back to life. she traded her life for his, and she did this because she was the one who put the demon inside of Gaara. when Gaara returns to the village he is welcomed by everyone, just as he wanted. he didn't want anyone to fear him and he wanted to be like naruto. when he returns to the village, he resumes his duties in the sand and continues being the kazakage.
I am pretty sure granny chiyo sealed the shukaku in gaara
Yes, being the Shukaku's host. If he were to ever fall asleep, the Shukaku will eat away at him while he sleeps, giving the Shukaku full control over Gaara. This is the cause of Gaara's black rings under his eyes, a trait that he had since birth.
shukaku the one tailed beast
no
Yes and No at the same time. Gaara has the Shukaku when he is a little boy. But when we get to the Shippuden episodes he soon loses his Shukaku and is brought back to life by Grandma Chiyo. Even though he doesn't have his Shukaku he is still able to be Kazekage and control sand. (i answered this question because i know almost everything about Gaara. I'm not obsessed but i love him ALOT!) ^ ^ ^to add a little bit more for those of you who are wondering. Shukaku did NOT give Gaara the power to control sand. That is a common misconception. Shukaku gave Gaara "ultimate protection". Basically Shukaku amplified Gaara's sand by controlling it himself, thus allowing the sand to protect Gaara even when Gaara did not wish it. Gaara's ninjutsu though is the ability to control sand. Now that Shukaku is gone though, Gaara has to use ninja signs in order to control his jutsu, instead of relying on Shukaku to kick butt for him xD Non-the-less Gaara is still my second favourite character. The only person i like more that Gaara is Hidan xD ^ ^ ^ haha hidan. he's kinda lame. he's so emo. XD gaara's favorite. then kakashi. so yeah gaara still has his sand powers but now he can 'feel pain'. because before the shukaku wouldn't let him get hurt.
Gaara has black rings around his eyes because he has chronic insomnia. Gaara wont sleep because he is afraid of Shukaku (demon possessing Gaara) to completely take over him when hes asleep.
kakashi kiba doesn't compare to any of them with him being chunnin and the rest in a higher rank. kakashi has mangekyou which then beats kankuro out. And ever since gaara lost shukaku he has gone weaker then kakashi.
Gaara had Shukaku, the one-tailed tanuki. That's before Akatsuki took it from him.
He never sleeps. Gaara has chronic insomnia because he is afraid of Shukaku completely possesing him.
The episode when the Shukaku was ripped out of Gaara was started in episode 10 of Naruto Shippuden and the final scene of the extraction of the Shukaku was in episode 17, I believe.
he can play as the full form of shukaku and half shukaku(normal size)
Yes
