Beautiful moment in anime history for sure. That and the first time we ever see orochimaru show himself in the forest of death I was fully in love with Naruto as while
They overshadowed Rock Lee with this fight. Rock Lee trained his entire life to gain that speed and Sasuke within a month obtained it. I understand the sharingan and how it works but this instantly dropped Rock Lee severely. If it wasn’t for the inner gates Sasuke is a pay to win character 😂
Rock Lee’s ideals were proven wrong in his fight. It was a battle of hard work vs natural talent, and natural talent won. This theme stayed the same for the rest of the series.
@@Jonathan_from_ArkansasYep. Even Naruto vs Neji when we found out Neji's fighting an Asura reincarnation. Even Itachi vs Oro where Oro who worked his entire life for ninjutsu got boinked by the genius with tear troughs who was barely 14. Kakashi vs Obito. Need we say more?
@@Jonathan_from_ArkansasDamn, you right. Can even go further with tailed beasts, the uchia and uzamaki being the only real lineages that matter, so much of the later manga is about stealing natural talent as well.
Well, it wasn't so much passion as psychosis, and after Naruto helps him reform, he is generally at peace, so doesn't have drastic emotional outbursts anymore (that said, I somewhat agree with you in that Gaara was more interesting to watch when he was a lunatic. lol)
@@quentinjones6877 which is crazy cause the arm accessories were the only difficult things to draw as far as I’ve seen. The black fit was literally a onesie.
Seeing rock lee in crutches knowing he might never be able to fight again look at the talented Sasuke, the definition of what he was trying to overcome, copy his hard work within a months broke my heart as a kid. I was very happy when he came back to fight Kimimaru only to get saved by another talented ninja😂
@@Krooked_Teeth That's the opposite of it not being special. The sharingan literally becomes the single most important plot element in the series lol.
But they aren’t special. They just steal them like candy from other people. The mystery is gone and just became boring. They can have the M sharigan, but they still never copy a move, they don’t use it like they did. They became boring. They are used in the plot in the future, but it’s never as fun like it is here imo
I love that sasuke only builds on lees taijutsu going into shippuden. Before minato and ay were introduced sasuke was undeniably the fastest character in the series.
Undeniably? You said sasuke builds on lee taijutsu but you are giving credit to sasuke by saying sasuke is fastest character. In reality lee is the fastest character in the series not sasuke after might guy and Minato. Even after copying lee taijutsu sasuke only achieved lee normal speed. However lee has opened upto 5th gate .His speed has increased several fold. But sasuke could not open atleast any gate . Unfortunately lee is thinking sasuke has achieved the speed in shorter time compared to him by hard work. But in reality he didn't know that sasuke has copied his jutsu.
@@user-op3el8pu5cguy or lee aren’t the fastest in the show lol if we are talking about at the end of shippuden it was undoubtedly Naruto. Blitzed kaguya with boil release where he moves faster then his avatar and madara who had both his eyes (unlike the one guy blitzed who had one rinnegan) and I could argue minato is also faster then 8th gate guy seeing flying thunder god technique reached madara before guy could. 🤣 guy or lee definitely are NOT the fastest character in the show.
@@user-op3el8pu5c at the start of shippuden hebi sasuke is the fastest character. His feats are superior to anything 5th gate lee has accomplished. Speed blitzing team 7, speed blitzing deidara, dodging V2 bee, moving on par with V1 raikage. Lee doesn’t even come close 5th gate or not bro cope.
@@Treantz yeah then sasuke speed blitzes Naruto proving himself to be even faster than him. In the anime sasuke uses ameno to swap with one of Naruto’s truth seeker orbs but in the manga he just blitzed Naruto with raw movement speed. Sasuke’s still the fastest ninja by the end of the series.
@@justthefacts6902 you could argue sasuke is fastest. That’s a respectful and logical opinion I have no problem if people think it could be sasuke or Naruto. But lee or guy? Cmon now lol
@@dragondagger24Yeah it is odd; the show seemingly tries to portray that it wasn't Itachi's fault. Which is true to an extent, but it's directly antithetical to the narrative wanting you to support Naruto's ideals pertaining to not letting your environment determine who you are. At least Itachi never made excuses for himself or tried to justify it as far as I know. There are stories in which the perpatrator of sonething abhorrent does attempt to lessen accountability. I never got the sense that Itachi didn't feel remorse or didn't aknowledge that he was complicit/responsible.
@@deansmith9914 HAHAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣These kids think lee is faster than sasuke 🤣🤣sasuke blitzed madara in war, blitzed naruto and momohsiki etc. lee is a pathetic fodder. He had to pick on a rookie sasuke with one year less experience than him to make himself feel better about getting belted by Neji then he stood on the stands and cried while sasuke surpassed him. Sasuke stole his moves, and also stole the girl he used to simp for.
Shukaku was always the oddest tailed beast. Edit: 🤦 I don't understand why the replies are missing the point of my original comment. Yes there are 9 tailed beasts, 10 when you count the 10 tails, yes at the time he wasn't considered a tailed beast but that has literally nothing to do with the fact that Shukaku has always been the oddest(IN PERSONALITY) of the tailed beasts
probably because he wasnt considered a tailed beast at this point of writing the story. i dont think tailed beast was a term at that point. just the evil 9 tailed fox spirit and shukaku.
@@WolfManStillPlays because Shukaku wasnt even considered a tailed beast. no tailed beast abilities even as a jinchuriki they dont even get a cloak.. i bet, you call the 1 tails as "Shukaku" and the rest of the tailed beast as "2-10" tails. its odd cuz its a retcon lmao
@@crackhead3062 u forget this sasuke has 2 tomoe but final valley is 3 tomoe. sorry bro but gaara gets blitzed n hit with a lament chidori for the dub😂
@@pauze2841 what is chidori going to do I’m serious. And wtf is 3 tomoe gonna do either. What is sasuke gonna do put a junjuriki under a weak ahh genjustu 😂 you make no sense your mad gaara had sasuke passed out on a tree about to get shredded from a shukaku claw
for sasuke to use over his limit of chidori and still continue to fight gaara even after gaara had time to recover proves that he is a very powerful opponent even if hes nerfed while u have a buff
Exactly, he had never actually been hurt physically that much before, only time was really with Rock Lee, and now he had a potentially dangerous stab wound that made him bleed. He hadn't bled before so it freaked him out, especially as he doesn't sleep due to Shukaku driving him insane.
Of course he was soft. Hiding and camping behind that plot armor-I mean sand armor, he never got down and dirty. Dude came to the Village Hidden in These Hands and got his whole lifestyle altered. 😂😂😂 Bro was like “the fuck you mean I gotta box?”
I've never been such a grade A hater but i gotta admit, i come back to watch this every time i remember how that win was stolen from Rock Lee, i'm gonna keep it 110%, i don't even hate Gaara fr, i just find intense satisfaction watching him get his shit pushed in.
The fight was over when Gaara was hit with Chidori. His chakra dropped to near empty and he needed a long rest period. Base Gaara was completely powerless against Sasuke.
@@MrKingYujiTrue but I am not sure about the second fight because even if Sasuke had more chakra there was really nothing he could do against garra and eventually would have lost
@@KALICOE Sasuke wasnt weak bro.. not many people could beat a Jinchuriki, OP Shinobi and let alone a Tailed Beast.. Sasuke didnt back down fighting Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, Lord Orochimaru, Temari, Gaara, Itachi, The Sound4 and Naruto.. Sasuke was stronger than Naruto for a while until Naruto started training seriously just to defeat him clean for acknowledgement.. many people acknowledge as a Child Prodigy
@@KALICOE Sasuke was never weak.. Naruto saw Sasuke as a Shinobi to defeat to be acknowledged as a strong Shinobi by pushing himself to master very difficult Jutsu.. Sasuke did very well considering as he fought 3Jinchuriki and OP Shinobi that not many high ranked Shinobi can defeat.. not many Shinobi could defeated Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto, Zabuza, Haku, Lord Orochimaru, Rock Lee, Temari, Gaara and The Sound4
Love how gaaras talking out that crap like he's doing something when he's got a whole demon animal fighting for him. Bet he ain't talking all that smack now lol
No doubt naruto original was waay way better than shipuuden and boruto is trash in front of Naruto anime. Wish kishimoto had written after naruto shippuden too. 😢
