This might be the best fight in the show. When Lee takes off his weights and Gaara realizes he can’t see him anymore I get goosebumps. Bro was flabbergasted.
@Kakashi Hatake either way even if he hadn't see gai and lee he was still super unstable to begin with from the times of his childhood where his dad literally tried to murder him
The power system was so much more well thought out and interesting in part 1. I love how each character had a distinct moveset and fighting style. It was showcased in this fight in particular, but also throughout the chunin exams. Kiba: Overwhelm the opponent with nonstop combo attacks with Akamaru Shino: Control the battlefield with his bug army Ino: Has an incredibly powerful jutsu with massive risk, so is generally better as support. Choji: His rolling boulder can pack a punch, probably one of the best jutsu for breaking through walls and defenses. However, it is quite slow and predictable, and he can't really do much else. Shikamaru: His shadow possession jutsu is quite impractical and difficult to pull off at first glance. Thus, he needs to be crafty to defeat his opponent. Sakura: Very... vanilla. She didn't come from a clan, so the only ninjutsu she knows are the ones she learned at the academy like the illusion clones. Tenten: Her fight with Temari was not shown in the manga, so she actually has no canon feats. We do know she's a weapons user though. It makes sense that that's an area she'd chooose to specialize in, as, like Sakura, she wasn't part of a clan, so she didn't have any training in ninjutsu outside of the academy. Neji: His 360 degree vision, rotation and taijutsu skill make for a formidable defense. And with his Gentle Fist, can take anyone down in a few hits. Hinata: Ghetto version of neji. Kankuro: Uses chakra strings to control his puppet while he hides. It's a simple and likely chakra inexpensive jutsu. His taijutsu is poor and he likely doesn't have a large chakra pool, so he relies on making good use of his puppet. Temari: Specializes in long-range wind ninjutsu. She's one of the few genin that is able spam ninjutsu like that, meaning she likely has decently high chakra reserves. However, her ninjutsu isn't anywhere near as powerful as Gaara's. Rock Lee: Focuses solely on taijutsu as he has little choice. His fifth gate is the single most devastating attack in the chunin exams. Any of the genin other than Gaara loses to it. Gaara: The opposite of Rock Lee. His incredibly powerful sand shield protects him from almost any attack automatically. This, combined with his ability to control the sand and his absurd chakra reserves thanks to Shukaku, makes him pretty much the only character that can fight using nothing but ninjutsu, without ever needing to engage in taijutsu, or even so much as bother dodging a kunai. Naruto: Has a very powerful ninjutsu (arguably the most powerful in the chunin exams, aside from Gaara's sand abilities and chidori) in his shadow clones. In addition, he is the only genin aside from Gaara with enough chakra to spam such powerful ninjutsu, and spam it he does, something even most jonin can't pull off. He doesn't know any other ninjutsu at this point and isn't particularly skilled at taijutsu, so he ends up relying on his army of clones and his huge chakra pool to overwhelm his opponent. However, he can be quite crafty with his clones. Sasuke: Probably the most versatile genin. Sharingan, good fire ninjutsu, good taijutsu. He can fight you up close, from distance, you name it. Notice that most ninjas do not spend the whole fight spamming powerful ninjutsu (unlike in Shippuden where they spend the fight trying to one-up each other's explosions), as they do not have enough chakra to do so. Gaara and Naruto are exceptions. Even jonin like Kakashi have this issue. In the case of genin, they also don't have a large repertoire of ninjutsu. A genin's arsenal consists of the ninjutsu taught at the Academy (so basically the illusion clones) and maybe one C-rank jutsu their clan taught them (Shikamaru and his shadow possession, Sasuke's fire jutsu, etc). And, if they're really lucky, a Kekkei Genkai. The only ones who even had access to powerful ninjutsu were Naruto with his Shadow Clones (which he learned by stealing the First Hokage's scroll), Gaara with his sand abilities, and, later, Sasuke with chidori. These are jutsu that most of the other genin could die even attempting, due to the chakra required. The power system just has a depth to it that isn't there in Shippuden
Gaara's sand ability wasn't due to Shukaku. His dad Rasa explained that the sand protecting him was his mother Karura's will when they were fighting each other. This was explained in Naruto chapter 547 pg15 & if you don't feel like reading it then just type in on CZcams Gaara vs Rasa.
I love how konkuro basically went over to talk to Naruto strictly to play with him and get info and yet just gives up all of gaaras secrets like no problem. "Man, does this guy have any weaknesses?" Kankuro: "man, let me tell you those weaknesses!"
@@jordanforce3743 while he isn't a saying everything out loud, he does say more about Gaara to Naruto than gaining Intel. Like his role was the exact opposite of "gaining Intel"
This is why Rock lee is my fav. Sure, just like the others, he speaks for like to hours but it's a breath of fresh air. Him and his master is a reminder that you don't need jutsus to kick ass.
Kishi wrote as the more human character. She's not part of a special clan, or she doesn't have a demon inside of her. She's kinda normal. So they like to display audience emotions thru somewhere similar as the audience, us being normal people.
@@orange8216 The funny thing about final valley was that half the move Sasuke and Naruto used was never shown to that point. Sasuke just randomly turned into the cursed hawk form. Naruto randomly slammed Saskue with that 100 clone tentacle technique completely out of nowhere.
Undoubtably one of the best fights throughout the whole series simply because Lee is the total embodiment of what we humans can become or at least the closest thing we try to attain
I distinctly remember sitting in my living room when I was 7 or maybe 8 years old watching toonami having no idea what anime even was and when I saw Lee drop those weights my mouth dropped probably just as hard, it was truly an eye opening moment for me and here I am over a decade later at 22 years old re watching this fight and cannot belive just how good the animation is the choreography the music and especially the actors in this scene, one of THE BEST anime fights of all time
@Aiwash you and I both. That feeling when toonami came on Cartoon Network Saturday night is one of the most nostalgic memories in my heart. Especially when naruto started at 9. Bro I feel so old
Gaara won by an inch. I'm still unsure as to how the gourd cushioned him that much. Mentally, Garra got annihilated. That dude's entire world was rocked.
@@ramonsanchez4751 When did Kishimoto say that? And yeah, I don't know how the 5 Gates couldn't make him bleed but Naruto's 2K Barrage could. I'm sure all those Narutos punching him would hurt beyond belief, but I don't know how the 5 Gates couldn't make him bleed. Gaara was legit getting bounced like a volleyball.
@@professionalfangster1510 lee had the whole thing won actually he made one mistake. He closed his eyes because of the pain and gaara used that moment to substitute after that attack lee was out of gas.
Guy sensei was not wrong when he said "LEE YOU ARE A GENIOUS OF EFFORTS"!!! Literally one of the best fights in naruto . Lee is a inspiration to all of us!! My man Lee 🥺🥺😭😭
According to how fast Lee was, Kishimoto should've upgraded his skills, strength and speed as he grows but too bad he was wasted just like that, a rare Shinobi like Lee deserves more screen. He was one of the strongest at an early age
@@blackheartedevil Minato speed was entirely based on his preparation and Ninjutsu he would be better to train Shikamaru with Lee he would just have nothing to teach him.
The animation here will never not be extremely impressive to me. It's so fluid, and to think that it's all hand drawn just makes it even more amazing for its time. The animators didn't have to go this hard, but they did. They did it for us.
temari :you really think you will be able get through gaara's defenses just by dropping a couple of pounds of weight? rock lee : ima end this man's whole career
@@sunday3504 I get it🤣 with more weight itll hit harder but all that weight makes him move slower so technically his leg power is most effective without weights
@@JankSentient I watched my hero academia first and they copied so much, leg weights, overpowered teacher. Quiet rivial (todoroki) pissed off kid that doesn’t believe in hero’s, and so much more Jesus
Gara since he came in the show was the best villain and character in all of naruto there is something in his character that makes me cry and get so exited every time he is fighting either a ally or enemy
Lee was already faster than any Genin but Guy saying: Lee got no talent whatsoever! just completely floored me😳 This Lee who is moving already faster than the average was holding back?! Best moment! He flying and jumping around like feather! Incredible
I like how Kankuro is friendly enough to spend time talking with naruto in these early episodes. Back then it was obvious that the sand team was apart of "the bad guys" but even so Kankuro stood out as being the; non edgy, familiar one. Which is funny considering his jutsu and appearance.
I loved it when I read it in Shonen Jump many moons ago. Gaara was my favorite character and even my friends used to call me that and I got them in Naruto. I knew this would be big when it came to the States full force.
All up to this point Gaara was such a deadly threat who had apparently never even been touched. And yeah he was still a threat after this, but this fight was the beginning of the end. Lee may not have won, but he showed that god could be cut.
“A sand manipulating jutsu, hm? It will not be easy getting through that. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!” These words ring in my head every now and then. Simply because Lee acknowledged how hard it’s going to be to even touch him, but he’s going to brute force his way through it anyways. No matter what it takes. Legendary.
What makes it even cooler is that he does, sort of. He figures out how to get past the defenses and land a blow on Gaara, someone no one had done before.
Love how when he started moving fast he had many openings to hit gaara yet just wanted to flex how fast he truly is before landing that kick on him, lee was a menace for sure, if only sasuke was able to see how fast he was moving lol
Temari: “come on you really think you can get through Gaara’s defense by just dropping a couple pounds of weight?” Lee: *Drops few hundreds pounds of weights* Also Temari: *°0°*
One thing this anime taught me is that natural born talent beats hard work anyday. The hardest working characters in the show were always getting their arse kicked left and right by natural born talents.
Well it's hard to make taijutsu relevant when all the current enemies use dimesion travelling, future sight, some type of rennigan, and some other bs op ninjutsu.
@@hec4241 they made Might Guy into an amazing character despite barely having a lot of camera time. His abilities w tai jutsu looked really cool and he even competed w that shark dude in the akatsuku.
Yeah it use to piss me off too and I felt the same way (feeling and thinking he was a little bitch for having mommy there) but I got over it the more I saw Gaara progress as a person and as the series grew.
An amazing fight for sure but episodes I think atound 15 or 16 which was Naruto and Sasuke vs haku. Or Naruto vs orochimaru in the chunin exams were what got it going for me
They didn’t even care enough about Lee to tell us who his wife is, according to an interview, the writer didn’t even think about who his wife might be.
Kankuro: Gaara's never been hit
Lee: Lmaaooooo ok
lol
Lee: Hold my weights
I think you were talking about Naruto but whatever.
Technically Lee never hit him.
Cj Vanginkel 6:09 bitch are u blind or stupid??
Everybody gangsta till Rock Lee drops his weights.
No cap
When you think about it the weights made him stronger just not faster
@@dayiionarmwood6346 true notice he uses kicks more than punches when he has his weights on
True it made his kicks stronger

The sheer look of fear on gaaras face as he realizes he can’t even anticipate where Lee’s coming from always gives me goosebumps
Gaara was smart to do that !
This might be the best fight in the show. When Lee takes off his weights and Gaara realizes he can’t see him anymore I get goosebumps. Bro was flabbergasted.
Jiraiya vs Pain too 🥺
Sasuke vs naruto first fight is the best. Very engaging and too epic
This was a really good fight but definitely not the best lol
People in the sand village: "When did your change of heart begin?"
Gaara: "So this goofy looking kid kicked me in the face once...."
Lilliannah Stapp but his boruto design? It’s crap. Pizza grease looking hair
No disrespect to Lee but it was Naruto who changed Gaara’s heart
thats amazing

I like how Kankuro is friendly enough to spend time talking with naruto in these early episodes. Back then it was obvious that the sand team was apart of "the bad guys" but even so Kankuro stood out as being the; non edgy, familiar one. Which is funny considering his jutsu and appearance.
Who else waited for him to take off his ankle weights

Drop the game WOOO
T Series me

Purge XD when he did that the fight was serious from then on haha
This takes us wayyyy back

Lee: I got theseeeee hands
The instructor must be like “These kids are stronger than me” 😂
lmao hell yeah
hahaha true LOL
xD
True LOL
“Just a couple of weight”
Lee: Yea, dont be too excited ladies!
I have a lot of strength 😏🤫
Lee dropping those weights is still the hardest shit I've ever seen in an anime, what a thug.
The scene that made me fall in love with naruto in the first place
Yes sir
Same here 😳
Nah he must be internally bleeding like crazy
I loved it when I read it in Shonen Jump many moons ago. Gaara was my favorite character and even my friends used to call me that and I got them in Naruto. I knew this would be big when it came to the States full force.
Big Facts💯
Lee dropping the weights is still the most badass moment in history
*Rock Lee is the only Ninja in Naruto. Everyone else is a Wizard freak pretending to be a Ninja*
All up to this point Gaara was such a deadly threat who had apparently never even been touched. And yeah he was still a threat after this, but this fight was the beginning of the end. Lee may not have won, but he showed that god could be cut.
“A sand manipulating jutsu, hm? It will not be easy getting through that. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!” These words ring in my head every now and then. Simply because Lee acknowledged how hard it’s going to be to even touch him, but he’s going to brute force his way through it anyways. No matter what it takes. Legendary.
When the weights came off Lee said imma touch yo ass now lol
What makes it even cooler is that he does, sort of. He figures out how to get past the defenses and land a blow on Gaara, someone no one had done before.
Temari: Gaara has ultimate defence nobody can touch him
Lee:
😐
Well lee touched the same armor not gaara
It doesn’t go burr. Jokes have just gotten lazy.
Lmao this was 7 months ago
@@ilikemilk7833 and that matters because? Not even trying to be mean. Just asking.
I love how Rock Lee utilized his sigma grindset on haters like Temari. The look on her face was absolutely priceless lmao.
this is one of the fights that got me into the whole show
They did Lee so dirty in Boruto. He's got a huge bald spot and wears a wig.
Ueno54 we dont talk about boruto around here buddy

What a fool
Love how when he started moving fast he had many openings to hit gaara yet just wanted to flex how fast he truly is before landing that kick on him, lee was a menace for sure, if only sasuke was able to see how fast he was moving lol

Best underdog fight in all of anime!
TAKAMURA vs HAWK
Kamogawa vs Anderson
Kurapika vs Uvogin
Baki the grapler
But he is not an underdog throughout the Shippuden
Anil George in regular naruto he was an underdog
Who came by watching lee dropping weights in Instagram reels?
Me ✌🏻💗😬
Gaara going from bored to scared after Lee started moving is so awesome
Temari: “come on you really think you can get through Gaara’s defense by just dropping a couple pounds of weight?”
Lee: *Drops few hundreds pounds of weights*
Also Temari: *°0°*
LMAOAOAOQ
Million*
A hundred pounds wouldn't make a nuclear explosion after dropping on the ground
Easily in the tonnes, not hundreds of pounds.

Your weird
I remember seeing on Saturday night b4 the streaming became the main way to watch anime
Rock lee entertained us with no jutsu 🧎🔥
Kakashi, saying Gai, you are too much, made me laugh 😅
One thing this anime taught me is that natural born talent beats hard work anyday. The hardest working characters in the show were always getting their arse kicked left and right by natural born talents.
A writer can work years to master an abbility while a talented writer was either born with that abbility or mastered it in a week.
Not jojo..
In first three episodes theres a part where jojo just beat him lol and i kinda consider dio natural born because he was just as strong
I mean this is an anime haha, in real life it’s quite the contrary
@@varietychillin9632 man is the same in real life look at the top ufc fighters backstory
This is when I hated Gaara, now he is my favorite character.
I love Gaara so much he is a sand ningh
Same man except the hated part lol
No ur not gaara is my favorite character of all . his my idol I'd realy2 like him
He’s not my favorite, that’s Lee (I’ve only watched part 1), but I find it pretty awesome when he says “Sand Tsunami!”
@@Awesomefacecraft you should probably avoid the comment sections or you will get spoiled
Who else wanted to skip to when Lee took off his weights but didn't cause they love the suspense- 😂😭✋🏼
It’s actually so annoying how hard they nerfed Lee.
Well it's hard to make taijutsu relevant when all the current enemies use dimesion travelling, future sight, some type of rennigan, and some other bs op ninjutsu.
@@hec4241 they made Might Guy into an amazing character despite barely having a lot of camera time. His abilities w tai jutsu looked really cool and he even competed w that shark dude in the akatsuku.
Naruto: Uh-oh is right! YOUR FRIEND WITH THE EYE MAKEUP IS GETTING THE STUDFING BEAT OUT OF HIM 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
LMAO
I just so this comment the same time i was at this scene LOL😂😂😂
😂😂😂 🍥
I MISS THIS NARUTO 😭
When you finally realize that it’s Gaara’s mom protecting her precious baby boy the best way she knows how🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Yeah it use to piss me off too and I felt the same way (feeling and thinking he was a little bitch for having mommy there) but I got over it the more I saw Gaara progress as a person and as the series grew.
Lee's the first person to ever touch Gaara too so this was the first time she ever had to go into overdrive.
@@thestrongestsoul5203 You know he didn't choose to be protected?
@@thestrongestsoul5203 I mean Naruto should have lost to Kurama but his mommy intervened just as Gaara's does for him.
Kankuro: “No one has been able to touch him”
Lee: “Hold my leg weights…if you can”
Gara didn't use sand to protect himself
Sand to it itself
"let the power of youth *explode* "
Diedara wants to know your location.
RIGHT!!!!!

@@shyamjs4202 Hi Mr Hagoromo otsutsuki. How is everything going
@@safiyamoidutty9659 Hey bro
This was the first battle in Naruto that got everyone hooked. Truly Legendary.
Facts
An amazing fight for sure but episodes I think atound 15 or 16 which was Naruto and Sasuke vs haku. Or Naruto vs orochimaru in the chunin exams were what got it going for me
Watching this 10yrs on and i still love it
A video I will rewatch every time. This scene is crazy
This whole fight up till the end is a rollercoaster of emotions
Even after the fight too.
If only boruto would understand how much rock lee had worked hard to become a amazing shinobi🙄
NOW WTF HAS BORUTO TO MAKE WITH ROCK LEE PRETTY SURE THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A SCENE WERE ROCK LEE IS TALKING TO BORUTO
They didn’t even care enough about Lee to tell us who his wife is, according to an interview, the writer didn’t even think about who his wife might be.
Sakura: why doesn’t he get some distance and use ninjutsu.
As if she was at his place she’d throw rasenshuriken from distance 😂😂
Imagine finishing off and yelling “LET THE POWER OF YOUTH EXPLODE!” 😂
