[HoboGod]

hehehehe, and besides:

Spoiler for manga:

all of his attacks on kimi were with intent to kill. He even went with Desert Funeral at the start. He is still quite homocidal. If he got excited during that fight, he would have become the Gaara we all know and love. And speaking of love, he still has that tatoo on his head, if he truely stopped loving only himself, he would have removed it.
