Resurrected by the Edo Tensei technique, Gari initially maintained his composure and reasonableness, calmly explaining to Zabuza the nature of their current state. He was restrained enough to note that due to regeneration, they had no need to dodge attacks. This showed his lifelong grumpy and cantankerous nature — he was not one to mince words. He openly took pride in his Explosion Release and regretted that he could not fight Pakura as an equal kekkei genkai user. When his personality was erased, he became a mindless weapon, acting purely on instincts and Kabuto's orders. Before his personality was erased, he demonstrated unwillingness to simply be sealed and actively resisted.
