Facts

Eh...just cause Rock Lee is a fan favorite, I think he became overrated. Truth is, no matter how awesome Lee is, in the end he's still a one trick pony with only being able to use taijutsu. I'm not saying he's weak, but he's very vulnerable if not placed in the right situation to succeed. Not only that, his chakra level is just average, and if you add in that his best abilities also hurt/immobilizes him after, he's kind of limited. Don't get me wrong- Lee is amazing, but he basically has to fight the perfect opponent to really shine.

@@TyTimeIsAwesome No, it's just a it's just a matter of plot armor and what Kishimoto wants to do, Lee should have won the fight for real at this period nobody can't face Lee even Sasuke with the chidori, I think he was too strong and he had to put a brake on him.

@@DarKAbg0l Naw. His taijutsu is top notch sure, but if he gets caught in a genjutsu, it's basically game over. A ninja with a decent set of ninjutsu can also beat him. And the reason he lost to Gaara I think is because like I mentioned, his chakara level just isn't elite. Gaara has his own plus the one tail. He's gonna outlast Lee. That said, Gaara is also a one trick pony and was the perfect opponent for Lee to face.

@@TyTimeIsAwesome nah losing to garaa was bs, garaa here should have lost no doubt about that, plus lee can train himself as guy with how he avoids genjutsu

this fight is in everyone's top 5 lol

This fight is one of the best ever. Between all animes

This fight is fucking iconic like Goku vs Frieza. Except this is way better because DBZ's pacing is dogshit.

@@sharsasuke01 Naruto vs Gaara is also iconic but this one is unique because neither of them are main characters

@@Petrol_Sniffa Pre timeskip Naruto was built different.

I mean touching someone who can fire chakra through your body through physical contact is not a wise decision. Lee really had no way to fight Neji hand to hand, Neji has his heavenly rotation and without bijuu chakra could he have reversed it?

@@TheLastSane1 Lee can really beat Neji easily imo. Neji can't rotate all the time without draining his chakra, even Lee normal speed is fast already. Even with the byakugan I doubt Neji can keep up, like Lee said to Sasuke when they fought, Lee said even with the sharingan if one body doesn't have the speed to keep up it's useless. Yea Byakugan can see 360 but it's not even like the sharingan where it can sort of slow/predict movement. When Neji fought the spider guy Neji was caught (yes blind spot) by the arrows after rotation, so in theory Lee can just do the same like Gara and attack different spots with speed or even pause his attack and just keep moving wait till Neji rotation stops then strike.

@@nightflash262 Yeah that doesn't change a thing. Neji would still floor Lee in a proper all out fight. Lee at his normal top speed was still draining his own stamina. You seem to think he can move at this speed indefinitely which is just not the case. Yes the Lotus abilities began to rip muscles but his stamina was still training when he took off the weights. You also seem to think Neji has like five seconds of chakra and thats just not the case. Gentle Fist is actually exceptionally conservative with Chakra. You also seem to think Lees blows are exceptionally powerful but there is no real proof of that and even then we do see the aftermath of a Neji and Lee sparring match after this chuunin, granted it may have been fill, but Lee loses. Lee is burning his stamina at high speed. Yes he is quiet fast, but so is Neji his movements are far more conservative sure but thats to not waste stamina and chakra. Neji can also, and its shown in his fight. Expel enough chakra from one spot on his body to repel an attack. The thing with Gentle Fist and that defense is that when he expels chakra to block the attack he can also inject that chakra into Lees arm and shut down his chakra network though not as efficiently as hitting each point. Lee does not use Nin or Genjutsu but he does use Chakra and shutting down system down in Lees limbs renders lee unable to fight as even using his gates the network cannot channel that increased chakra. If Lee were to open all his gates while his arms and legs chakra networks were shut down or damaged. He would likely permanently destroy them if he forced the chakra open (Naruto can because its Kurama's chakra not human chakra and since its an outside force it can bypass the shut down) or he might just damage his limbs to the point of them blowing off his arms and legs as if he was using OFA at 100%.

@@TheLastSane11. it has never been stated that the rotation can affect the chakra network 2. Even if rotation affects chakra Lee can counter it by destroying the ground (which we know he is capable of) to temporarily interrupt Neji's rotation and then blitz him for the win 3. Naruto literally stopped the rotation with a kunai because he was outputting more counter force ( he hit it in the opposite direction of the rotation's spin to stop it) and I'm pretty sure Lee could do something similar if not exactly the same

@@SP00KY110 1. Never said it did, pointed out that the gentle fist style interrupts chakra networks by injecting chakra through the gentle fist style which can be done through ANY part of the body so yes if Lee tried to punch Neji in the cheek, he could use Gentle Fist through that same spot to both counter, and use a gentle fist strike on that arm. 2. Yeah a pot hole in the ground does not effect the rotation. We see no proof that he needs flat even ground to use the rotation, just that he can step on something so even if the ground is off balance due to a hole he can keep rotating so long as he knows the hole is there to adjust for it and with 360 degree vision he should. 3. Yes but that also required Kurama chakra to do. It was not just a Kunai but also the chakra of Kurama rotating in the opposite direction to cancel it out. Lee is not as strong or as fast as you people like to pretend he is. He has not shown anything close to that and using Might Guy an excuse is bullshit unless Lee merges with Might Guy the dude can't use Might Guys feats as his own.

Na fr I actually got watery eyes watching this like fam ain’t even in control of his body n got up…that’s built different

HUGE FUCKING FACTS. I realllllllly wish we got to see more of Lee though. He was my favorite.

I was already hooked but when he dropped the weights I knew this shit was going to be legendary

@@mookiestewart3776 Not gonna lie when he pulled out the weights i knew they were gonna be heavy but i definitely didnt expect them to be THAT heavy. I went from "oooo hes gonna move so much faster now" to "holy fuck you wont be able to see him"

100% fucking true bro, I used to turn on CN after school and naruto would come on and id watch a bit and turn it off cause it was just lame missions and shit, and then I happened to catch this one episode and holy fuck, my entire DBZ itch had been scratched and that was me done for the next 8 years, Naruto is a huge part of my teen years now.

It's funny, this actually was my drop it point when it was on Toonami. It was super cool but for various reasons I had to give it up. I think it's about time I gave it another go though.

WHAT??? I'm gonna see this again.

Lol, that's true, thanks for making me notice.

Time??

14:48 awesome

The lotus in the hidden Lotus was hidden all along I guess we understand why it's called the hidden lotus now

Si

Same ... I think the dub's voice is more sadder tho

That's true

Or gate of shock (7th gate).

Honestly its bullshit that Gaara didnt straight up die from Lee's attacks

@@CollboyGamez That just proves how powerful was Gaara's sand armor, since it endured that much damage.

instead of having sand armor he wouldve been made into sand cause lee wouldve pummeled him.

Lee losing was bullshit. If 6th gate can take Kisame surely fifth gate should be able to take a young gaara. Even if Lee lost but Gaara walking away with no scratch was the biggest insult and FU to hard work Kishimoto showed

How about Guy vs Madara?

@@EdilbertFernando that is for me the top one :)

Same man But they literally ruined him in shippuden like every female characters 💀

@@avi9403 yep

sasuke vs naruto is good too

100%. Also the fact that he would have absolutely killed any other genin that came his way instead of gaara.

@@trooper_1868 yes... and its kinda the sensei's fault for allowing tailed beast in a fucking exam..... That's just unfair for people like lee who worked so hard... lee should've passed .... not winn but he also should have become a chunin as powerwise he was superior to gaara but his body gave up...

Nah he just lost. L for Lee

its not lee vs gaara,its lee vs ichibi lmao

Thanks!

Agreed, the only time when he actually dissapointed me is during the Guy 7th Gate vs Kisame ... he cut out the most important part of the fight ... Where Tiger and Shark were charging on each other ... all climax of the fight was gone with that moment ...

I liked the reaction of the middle-left guy the most. He actually... y'know, reacted and stuff. The others I barely noticed.

That's bc women don't understand the male struggle. We relate most to Lee bc he represents how we as men have to fight for everything we want in life.

But that is also the true part of our world, if you believe in a lie you'll end up more upset. Lee and Guy is a prove that you may be on the top with hardwork but there is always needs some more things like luck or some other advantages. Life isn't fair but if you have enough will you can succeed to level that make you happy :)

@@closery it might be true that people don't always get what they want but 1) the beauty of fiction is that it's not supposed to be real life. 2) there's 0 moments where the message comes across in the entire series.3) if you're not going to make him the role model for the idea of "working hard gets you results" you shouldn't even be selling him as such for the entirety of the fight just to shit on people's faces like that. And 4) this is a Shonen anime, Shonen means something along the lines of "young boy" and the entire purpose of shonen anime is to be over the top and Inspire young boys to pursue their dreams, fight for what they want or what they believe is right, make them feel exited. That's basically going against the entire premise of a Shonen Anime

@@closery "Life isn't fair but with enough will you can succeed to a level that makes you happy" that's a nice message, however that's what this fight and every single one of Lee's fights go against. Every one of Lee's moments end up proving that statement wrong which makes it all just one big lie. I think the only two times Lee ends up with a positive result are during the chunin exams while naruto is away against a random nobody with an ability that's basically watered down eight gates and during the great ninja war when he defeats a "supposedly strong Taijutsu master who nobody knows, it was basically a quick made up filler fight against a random guy with no relevance to the plot whatsoever.

@@closery that said I appreciate you for explaining your point of view in a positive manner instead of raging out or insulting others like most comment sections out there would have. :)

Lee is still young. Might Guy nearly destroyed Madara (also with effort) so I see no value in this argument

Rock Lee may have been an example of work smart, not hard. Someone could win by training, kicking and punching as hard as they can, but may not last in the long run. Like using fists to break concrete, instead of a sledgehammer or in this case a Chidori to put a dent in it.

@@cherrygrabber7172 get you weak ass mentality out from here boi.

@@cherrygrabber7172 concrete is stronger than sand and it was base form lee too imagine lee in 4th form he should be able to easily break the sand armor because concrete is harder than sand

Facts

no, that was Lee message. Naruto was than a losser can become the Hokage

Hard work and determination trump natural talent IF talent doesn't work harder. So much for omitting the last part. That theme is cool and all but Cycle of Hatred/YinYang/Concentrated Power vs Cooperation themes are miles better than the cookie cutter and glorified "hard work and determination" Sorry but irl, talent and luck played majority of the success and that's a fact. Not saying you shouldn't work harder tho. Lebron wouldn't be star with 4'9 height and without the black man athleticism. Kinda familiar?

Facts

@@valeriansage this is not real life

Yes, in fact, but if Lee wins this fight would be another generic naruto fight, this fight is special because Lee lost, i think.

Facts

Maybe not that one but the manga would have had such a better and meaningful ending if Lee and Gai were the one to defeat Madara. Skip the space rabbit goddess and chosen one bullshit, just the world saved the two goofy ones who trained their way to the top. Hard work defeating prophecies and destiny. Gai dying a legendary hero and Lee recognised by the world as the greatest ninja. Naruto could still become Hokage after all his achievement up to this point but that would have been such a power move to have Lee and Gai really saving the world and Gai death would have been the most epic and emotional of the show.

@@MaXtreme91 That still would have been anti-climatic...the Guy vs Madara fight still did alot, someone without any amps at all to hurt someone like Juubidara that much...but it still just wasn't enough....what would have been awesome though, would have been making Juubi Madara the last villain of the show, having Madara dish out all of his Ninjutsu attacks and let it end in a straight up intense taijutsu fight, just like in Boruto with Momoshiki, the taijutsu is what made that fight one of the greatest ever...if Kishi wanted to show up a glimpse of Kaguya's power, he could have shown us a flashback of her fighting Hagoromo and Hamura.

Garra was broken

But if you remember when Gaara returns to Temari; he struggles to stand because he used ALOT of chakra to survive the Hidden Lotus. He wouldn’t have lasted much longer, he was almost out of chakra and unless he utilized the One Tails he was getting close to collapsing

Just that and you are here crying for lee? Gaara grew up with no friends and all alone. Maybe you forgot how gaara's father almost killed him. Since then and till now roco lee have still more supporters and fans than gaara both in the story and real life. Poor gaara just few audiences appreciate him

And Maybe except Neji too.

@@Kevin03837 you really think neji can keep up with 4 gate Lee ? At this level je was trashing Gaara. Even 3 gate Lee could be above him.

@@Kevin03837 is not maybe is 100% 13:00 look guy

@FlochBasedKing chidori and Naruto are stronger, that's all.

@@dondiego1141 Let's remember that Lee at this point in the series could not activate the 8 inner gates without doing the primary lotus, since Lee took his physical abilities to the limit with the primary lotus, and that limit activated the first inner gate, which means this ? Since Lee needed to be able to do a primary lotus to Neji, a Neji with a very op Byakugan (which he can use whenever he wants), and a 360 degree defense technique like rotation, Lee should be able to fight Neji in his normal state, and avoid all of Neji's hits, since a hit from Neji would disable an arm, a leg, etc. Not to mention that Neji with the Byakugan would be able to perfectly see Lee fighting without his weights, and could prevent Lee from lotusing him. Edit: and the primary lotus do a lot of recoil damage to lee's body, if he uses the primary lotus early, is a easy win to Neji.

Gaara was just built different a lot of rock lee stans say the main theme was hardwork but Lee lost. It’s one of the themes tho.

@@risingreform3816 Lee is the best

he copyer remember ?
