@Sky_Mech lol every comment always has that one person who disagrees.....we have a particular set of skills, we will find you and we will avenge Sir Lee
This is one of the times I feel the plot armour point is not fair. We see these characters withstand some crazy stuff and Lee was obviously not trying to kill Gaara. This was his first time using the 4th Gate in a real fight, so obviously his body was unprepared for using it as effectively as in Shippuden. At the end of the fight, Gaara was grounded and Lee could barely walk. It's obvious the guy whose jutsu can be used without moving would win in that position. Lee probably could've opened Gate 5, but this isn't supposed to be a death match, so he tried to only use the minimum power he needed.
Nah I really don't think Lee could have beat Gaara. If you consider how much further Gaara can still go and the abilities he doesn't use in this fight, Lee's loss was inevitable. He also had no reason to go beyond the fourth gate to fight Gaara so him using the fifth gate was purely a reckless decision. That's not a dig on Lee though, none of the other Genin in the room would have been able to beat Gaara either
@@VelvetAura Totally disagree, lee is by far the strongest genin, as the author choose (wrongly for the plot) to make him that way. He destroys gaara easily with the gates you can see that his power is way too strong and his speed... he is so fast that kakashi needed sharingan to see, others couldn't even see him. Quoting gaara's words " is that the moves of a human" being lost in the sauce against a way stronger opponent. I mean gaara was getting rolled every time lee was on the offense but he get saved miraculously everytime. The plot armor is really visible on this one and appears twice, first time is the substitution jutsu (which is kishimoto's most used plot device pre timeskip, this is not the unique case) on the omote renge. The second one if making it as if the lotus damage was just "fall damage" and just making him fall on sand would nullify that, while he punched and kicked gaara with crazy power that would have killed anyone, but hey that doesn't count obviously.
Nah, Obito and Kakashi feel the most like actual shinobi would be IRL, despite later's detrimental popularity. I would count Danzo too, but I haven't seen much of him on field like those two.
Growing up is realizing people have different opinions 😂 itachi and sasuke were my goats more so itachi also wish zabuza got more screentime , but Lee was nice too just can't take his looks serious 😂

Lee is regarded as one of the greatest characters in anime. His arc is so awesome people conflate it with the purpose of the show itself. To persevere through the sheer brutality of life despite a mediocre existence is nothing short of inspirational. Lee's character is greater than almost every single anime protagonist, hell, almost any character in fiction. Lee is a character that is initially humorous but then becomes so incredibly serious at the same time and it resonates with anyone who has ever felt inadequate or struggled to become something better than they are. That's what makes this one of the greatest fights in anime. It just hits so goddamn hard.
It really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Lee is modeled after Bruce Lee. He’s one of my favorite characters. He’s just a bad mofo. He has a couple great fights. I love the sparring match between him and Naruto at the end of the series.
in the japanese dub the condition to take of the weights was to protect "the lives of a large group of people", so that would explain why lee didn't do so in the forest
@@jdollasign8629 I mean to be honest Gaara with perfect defense got his ass kicked (but won) the kids in Forest without this kind of defense just imagine the amount of broken bones
Shout out to your mum for taking an interest in something her son is passionate about and being able to share these moments together. If only more parents did this and took the time to understand and share what their kids were interested in. Love to see it.
That phrase “sometimes the surest way to hit something is stop trying to hit it” made no sense as a kid but I get it now. It’s like when you try hard at something, but sometimes the best thing is to walk away from it and return later. Somehow bam like magic you improve at it. I’ve experienced that many times with different things and I still don’t really understand it but it just is.
It's because humans are ritualistic. We do the same things often and don't realize it. When we're actively looking for thingswe are interrupting that pattern for a reason. But if we can't find something, we'll often run across it again if we just allow ourselves to do our patterns

Great reaction. It’s always cool to watch anime with your parents. I actually got my Dad to watch three episodes of Hajime No Ippo with me yesterday and he’s not even an anime fan. 🔥🔥
I think what makes the lee vs gaara fight so emotional was how guy was willing to help lee become the best which both helped lee grow but also lead to his downfall causing him to push himself to the point where he ultimately destroyed his chances of becoming a ninja 😢
Well said, i dont know if youve seen Kung Fu panda, but that kind of reminds me of tai lung, the last speech he gave, he told shifu, you trained mw till my bones cracked,

I think in the original Dub he says "I thought I could only remove them when protecting a large group of very important people." The reason he didn't use it before was because he didn't deem the situation important enough.
He didn't really need it in the Forest though, he didn't lose because he was too slow, but because he was unprepared for the Sound Trio's ninjutsu. Dosu was cooked if Zaku didn't create a cushion in the ground.
We are so very, very sorry for your loss. We deeply appreciate you joining us on this crazy ride and are glad you are enjoying. Take good care of yourself and have a good weekend.
What I hate most about this fight is that Gaara's "sand armor" could never actually protect against the kind of blunt force Lee was putting out. Because the sand is making contact with his body, the force would still transfer through. The lotus technique where he was kicking Gaara into the air over and over, that by itself would have ruptured all the organs in his chest cavity and killed him.
I started crying the moment I heard Guy talking because I knew he was going to call him a genius of effort. Its my favorite scene and it breaks me every time.
"I don't wanna give up on Lee." Nobody wants to give up on Lee. That's why he's such a beloved character. Lee earns every inch of progress he makes with hard work and determination. He's the most inspiring character in the show so when he gets beat down it hurts even more.
Rewatching this as a parent now, hits even harder than before. Pair this with the amazing acoustic soundtrack when Kakashi is talking to Naruto around 24:00 chef’s kiss
I love it! This is my first time watching your channel and your mom is great! I watched all of Naruto and Shippuden with my mom aswell and it took us 3-4 years. Even during my military service time, she visited the city near where I was stationed for a week once (mostly for herself to get out of her work stress at the time and she loved that city). She took long walks through the old city and spent time reading the bible during the day and every evening I came over from my baracks, we got some asian food and we binched half of the war arc in shippuden in her hotel room in one week. Those were some great times. I moved out 2 years ago, but everey second or third sunday afternoon I visit and we keep watching Boruto now (and many other anime). Idk what it is with moms and anime, but it's a perfect match somehow, especially for the Naruto series.
Oh Wow they even reply!!! 🥰🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Big fan here! Love seeing ya'll bond over some of my favorite shows. I also love the Vinland series with Dad, glad he's enjoying it! 😄 My personal recommendation for a show for Mom would be an anime called Mob Psycho 100. Idk if you've seen it already, but its an absolute banger. It has a TON of heart, amazing action scenes, & unbelievable animation sequences. Check it out! ;)
We reply when we can. I work a lot so don’t reply as often as I would like. Thank you for the recommendation and we may just have to check it out!! - ❤️Mom
@GoldFamilyReactions Well, at the rate this is going, maybe you won't have to work a year or so from now! 🎉 Your Son is really talented at making these kinds of videos, there's a HUGE audience for this sort of content on RUclips. I actually can't believe ya'll are still hovering around 2k subs. The videos are so good, I definitely think this channel will grow to be huge, eventually you can slap some more advertisements on these vids and ya'll will certainly bring in some $$$. Best of luck & God bless ya'll! ✌🏼
To be honest, the dub isn't horrible, but certain character's mannerisms become exponentially more annoying when translated to English and paired with mediocre voice acting that is either over or underexaggerated or awkward. Naruto's saying "Believe it" is a little bit of a meme by itself, as it sounds suuuuper corny in English, but "Dattebayo" in the sub version sounds like it belongs and is actually a cherished part of the character, partly because the Japanese voice actors were absolutely perfect imo. It's hard to match the original in quality.
I personally think it’s more about which you watched first in some cases. When I watched sub, I couldn’t focus on anything else besides how much he said datebayo, and it got annoying. It’s way more corny in English, but it has some charm, and isn’t nearly as invasive imo. Don’t get me wrong, there are some trash English performances like konohamaru, kankuro, and ino, but itachi, tobi, and pains voices ALONE are good enough for all the bad ones!
@GoldFamilyReactions definitely which one you watched first. The sub is just better quality all around but I got used to the dub and associate the characters with their dub voices, so the dissonance of hearing a different voice is uncomfortable
@GoldFamilyReactions I watched mostly subs but I can't watch shows that I watched dubbed as subbed. I watched all of dbz and inuyasha dubbed so now I can't handle the sub voices because they just aren't what I've connected with the colors. It works the other way around also, can't watch dubs after watching all of it dubbed. This show though I started dubbed but early on switched to subbed and I can only watch subbed now. The only English voices I don't hate are guy and Lee because they just seem to really fit them with the cheesiness
I love how the running theme for Naruto is that the person who is looked down on can rise up and surprise you. Every character who is hated or mocked by people around them overcomes and shows that words of hate ARE words of ignorance. No spoilers from me, but I love that out of the 12, Lee is the first person Gara fights. I'm going to love watching you react to the introduction of a very ahem 😉 interesting teacher in the near future.
LOOOL I gotta fess up. In my edited version (the one we watch) I took out some of the overly “interesting” parts in order to protect my dear mother. 😅 definitely didnt remove it completely, but they went a lil overboard at some points 😬 should still be tons of fun either way🤠🤠
I have not read all of Kishimoto's interviews about his themes, but I have read as many as I could get my hands on. Based on his words, it seems as though the series message revolves around war and understanding. He took great inspiration from his Grandfather(who I believe is a veteran), who talks about past wars he survived. Tailed Beast are supposed to represent nuclear weapons. the "Cycle of Hatred" that was born from war is suppose to be an obstacle to understanding others. Naruto connects to and learns from/ teaches others using "Talk no Jutsu". You can find evidence of this theme through the reason Naruto created his ninja way(chapter 33 and 43) as well as the antagonist that reflects Naruto himself.
Hyped? My man's, I subscribed just for this fight. Rock Lee standing back up with clouded over eyes was the exact second I knew I would watch anime for life. It came at the point I really needed it in middle school. Struggled mentally with esteem, and related to Lee's feelings (trade the jutsus for being on the spectrum though). 24 and the episode still makes me ugly cry every time I see it, but I've found a lot of strength since that first time.
I’ve been putting off watching this but the relationship you have with your mother is fire. Subbed because of the edit of Lee taking off his weights. Goated moment
I LOVED this! It was great to see someone who you wouldn't think would be into anime, actually enjoy watching. All the homies love Rock Lee, I definitely agree that he's one of the best characters in the show.
Damn I cried at the end. Gets me every time. I always watch Rock Lee vs Gaara when I feel low or defeated in life. Just like Lee I had no talent or good at anything I tried, but just like him working hard paid off and then I showed the world what I'm truly made off. P.S. your mom is so cool
dude!! you have the coolest mom I am envious, in fact I might as well try asking my mom if she's down for some anime. nice reaction btw took me back to when I first watched this ep. cheers
@@GoldFamilyReactions i did part im subs for the end of shippuden simply because the dubs ran out when I was watching it and it was good and all but you really connect to the dub actors after 1000 some odd episodes lol plus growing up on toonami... I will never be subs guy when it comes to naruto lol
@CodyTaylor115 exactly, I’m so glad I watched after everything was out, so I could get the whole thing in dub. The only time I ever successfully switched between languages was for demon slayer. It really is more about what you started with than quality.
I show my mom different anime clips sometimes, and this is really heart warming. Your mom is cool. Show her the first time luffy uses haki after showing how goofy he is prior
Thanks! I’m still unsure if I’ll show her “clips” of stuff, but if I were to show her some, it’d prolly have to be for something we’d never watch, like boruto or something, whereas we’ll probably get to op someday! I appreciate the suggestion tho 💛💛
my first encounter with any anime ever was tuning into adult swim on these 2 episodes back to back when i was 15. thank GOD my parents were out of town. naruto may not be my favorite anime but this fight and rock lee's story will forever hold a place in my heart. i cry every time. DX
Im surprise that your mom didn´t cried,she´s strong as hell. Amazing reaction,like and new sub from Argentina. PS:Im seeing dragon ball reactions and the guy use a filter to avoid copyshit,keep that in mind.
Knowing Gaaras backstory and rewatching this, seeing how much people cared for Lee and him learning he's not untouchable/undefeatable anymore. That might be one of the greatest character development moves
I got my mom to watch Naruto, she made it all the way to the end of the Pain arc before she passed away, some awesome memories being able to talk to her about Naruto. This series is awesome
I find it really funny when you look at it in a power scaling sense because if you high ball naruto to the extreme his speed and reaction time is well beyond light speed so he wouldn't actually be shocked at all

What I hate most about this fight is that Gaara's "sand armor" could never actually protect against the kind of blunt force Lee was putting out. Because the sand is making contact with his body, the force would still transfer through. The lotus technique where he was kicking Gaara into the air over and over, that by itself would have ruptured all the organs in his chest cavity and killed him.
Shhh don’t spit facts the weebs will hear
@@GoldFamilyReactions true, I guess we can chalk it up to some chi nonsense xD
I'm glad this young buck knows the truth. These anime fights in Naruto live in my soul rent free
I started crying the moment I heard Guy talking because I knew he was going to call him a genius of effort. Its my favorite scene and it breaks me every time.
God damnit this is wholesome as hell... you're gonna look back on this in 20 years man. Keep it up.
Never clicked so fast in my life!
Was not disappointed either!
Rock Lee will always be a champion in my eyes 💚
"I don't wanna give up on Lee."
Nobody wants to give up on Lee. That's why he's such a beloved character. Lee earns every inch of progress he makes with hard work and determination. He's the most inspiring character in the show so when he gets beat down it hurts even more.
Your mom is cool af, you better be giving her a hug every day.
Imagine having a mom/parent that is invested in your interests. Youre a lucky guy.
Rewatching this as a parent now, hits even harder than before. Pair this with the amazing acoustic soundtrack when Kakashi is talking to Naruto around 24:00 chef’s kiss
I love it! This is my first time watching your channel and your mom is great! I watched all of Naruto and Shippuden with my mom aswell and it took us 3-4 years. Even during my military service time, she visited the city near where I was stationed for a week once (mostly for herself to get out of her work stress at the time and she loved that city). She took long walks through the old city and spent time reading the bible during the day and every evening I came over from my baracks, we got some asian food and we binched half of the war arc in shippuden in her hotel room in one week. Those were some great times.
I moved out 2 years ago, but everey second or third sunday afternoon I visit and we keep watching Boruto now (and many other anime). Idk what it is with moms and anime, but it's a perfect match somehow, especially for the Naruto series.
What a great story and thank you for your service!! ❤️ -Mom
I LOVE this channel God bless your family, be well, &keep making this content :) Your Mom is so sweet & hilarious! 😆
Awe thank you so much and thank you for joining us ❤️ - Mom
Oh Wow they even reply!!! 🥰🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Big fan here! Love seeing ya'll bond over some of my favorite shows. I also love the Vinland series with Dad, glad he's enjoying it! 😄
My personal recommendation for a show for Mom would be an anime called Mob Psycho 100. Idk if you've seen it already, but its an absolute banger. It has a TON of heart, amazing action scenes, & unbelievable animation sequences. Check it out! ;)
We reply when we can. I work a lot so don’t reply as often as I would like. Thank you for the recommendation and we may just have to check it out!! - ❤️Mom
@GoldFamilyReactions Well, at the rate this is going, maybe you won't have to work a year or so from now! 🎉 Your Son is really talented at making these kinds of videos, there's a HUGE audience for this sort of content on RUclips. I actually can't believe ya'll are still hovering around 2k subs. The videos are so good, I definitely think this channel will grow to be huge, eventually you can slap some more advertisements on these vids and ya'll will certainly bring in some $$$. Best of luck & God bless ya'll! ✌🏼
@@drewjohnson1985W suggestion that anime is so good
Man this was so wholesome, I loved it. I was not ok rewatching this scene lol. even after all these years, after seeing it probably 6 times already.
It is so sweet to see her reactions!!
This is the best!!! I love that your mom watches anime with you and you both are able to build a stronger relationship through sharing interests!
To be honest, the dub isn't horrible, but certain character's mannerisms become exponentially more annoying when translated to English and paired with mediocre voice acting that is either over or underexaggerated or awkward. Naruto's saying "Believe it" is a little bit of a meme by itself, as it sounds suuuuper corny in English, but "Dattebayo" in the sub version sounds like it belongs and is actually a cherished part of the character, partly because the Japanese voice actors were absolutely perfect imo. It's hard to match the original in quality.
I personally think it’s more about which you watched first in some cases. When I watched sub, I couldn’t focus on anything else besides how much he said datebayo, and it got annoying. It’s way more corny in English, but it has some charm, and isn’t nearly as invasive imo. Don’t get me wrong, there are some trash English performances like konohamaru, kankuro, and ino, but itachi, tobi, and pains voices ALONE are good enough for all the bad ones!
@GoldFamilyReactions definitely which one you watched first. The sub is just better quality all around but I got used to the dub and associate the characters with their dub voices, so the dissonance of hearing a different voice is uncomfortable
@GoldFamilyReactions I watched mostly subs but I can't watch shows that I watched dubbed as subbed. I watched all of dbz and inuyasha dubbed so now I can't handle the sub voices because they just aren't what I've connected with the colors. It works the other way around also, can't watch dubs after watching all of it dubbed. This show though I started dubbed but early on switched to subbed and I can only watch subbed now. The only English voices I don't hate are guy and Lee because they just seem to really fit them with the cheesiness
They could do really good english dubs though if they weren't so cheap
Na dawg dattebayo is more of a meme than Naruto saying believe it 💀
Love watching your mom see this for the first time, almost as good as experiencing it myself all those years ago ❤
Perfect! That’s exactly what we’re goin for 😏💛
I love how the running theme for Naruto is that the person who is looked down on can rise up and surprise you. Every character who is hated or mocked by people around them overcomes and shows that words of hate ARE words of ignorance. No spoilers from me, but I love that out of the 12, Lee is the first person Gara fights. I'm going to love watching you react to the introduction of a very ahem 😉 interesting teacher in the near future.
LOOOL I gotta fess up. In my edited version (the one we watch) I took out some of the overly “interesting” parts in order to protect my dear mother. 😅 definitely didnt remove it completely, but they went a lil overboard at some points 😬 should still be tons of fun either way🤠🤠
I have not read all of Kishimoto's interviews about his themes, but I have read as many as I could get my hands on.
Based on his words, it seems as though the series message revolves around war and understanding.
He took great inspiration from his Grandfather(who I believe is a veteran), who talks about past wars he survived.
Tailed Beast are supposed to represent nuclear weapons. the "Cycle of Hatred" that was born from war is suppose to be an obstacle to understanding others. Naruto connects to and learns from/ teaches others using "Talk no Jutsu".
You can find evidence of this theme through the reason Naruto created his ninja way(chapter 33 and 43) as well as the antagonist that reflects Naruto himself.
This is wholesome and wonderful. Thank you for bringing us into your family time.
And thank you for sharing with us ❤️-Mom
Choji instantly caught lacking 😂😂
Yall are so wholesome. Awesome video!
We hyped?
Hyped? My man's, I subscribed just for this fight. Rock Lee standing back up with clouded over eyes was the exact second I knew I would watch anime for life.
It came at the point I really needed it in middle school. Struggled mentally with esteem, and related to Lee's feelings (trade the jutsus for being on the spectrum though).
24 and the episode still makes me ugly cry every time I see it, but I've found a lot of strength since that first time.
I’ve been putting off watching this but the relationship you have with your mother is fire. Subbed because of the edit of Lee taking off his weights. Goated moment
6:33 Lee probably thinks no one is going to get killed in these exams
I don't know how many years ago it was that I watched this episode, but wow, it still made me cry my face off!!!
If she's Sasuke's female counterpart than Shikamaru and Naruto truly are right, "Mom's are scary."
Dude you are so lucky to have this relationship with ur mom treasure it ❤
Mama Gold needs to be protected at all costs. Loving her reactions!
This is so wholesome! Awwww i love how invested mom is !
22:28 Thanks mom, that helped me with the tears 😂
Literally just stumbled onto this video and i gotta say. Yall adorable as hell 😂
6:45 He said only when the lives of VERY IMPORTANT people are on the line.
Must just be important... not VERY important lol.
Yea i took it to mean like the hokage or daimyo or like government personnel
I saw this pop up and I just have to say hats off to this beautiful family!! ❤
Yes!!! Faster uploads!
first time i've seen your content but banger video bro your mom made me emotional about this fight all over again
That backstory is one of the only times to me that a dub clearly outshines a sub
I LOVED this! It was great to see someone who you wouldn't think would be into anime, actually enjoy watching. All the homies love Rock Lee, I definitely agree that he's one of the best characters in the show.
Let’s gooooo
Damn I cried at the end. Gets me every time. I always watch Rock Lee vs Gaara when I feel low or defeated in life. Just like Lee I had no talent or good at anything I tried, but just like him working hard paid off and then I showed the world what I'm truly made off.
P.S. your mom is so cool
The OST in this fight is S-Tier. Sadness and Sorrow hits hard here but Lee's theme when he does Hidden Lotus is the chef's kiss.
This is the fight that got me into Naruto, and now it's my favorite show by far and I promise to be rewatching it when I'm 497.
I loved seeing mom react, thanks for sharing!
dude!! you have the coolest mom I am envious, in fact I might as well try asking my mom if she's down for some anime. nice reaction btw took me back to when I first watched this ep. cheers
It’s always worth a shot! Imo there’s an anime for pretty much anyone, you just gotta know what they like 😏
oh this is what the dub sounds like. it's been so long since i started watching in subs i totally forgot. great video!
I've never seen the dub version of this fight, my brain couldn't comprehend what was going on for a second. Nice video! Keep up the good work!
"An admirable shinobi"... back when "Naruto" hits deep into the soul😢❤
Awesome content bro, happy to rewatch Naruto with your momma
You and me both ☺️
i only watched naruto once and it was on tv more than 10 years ago. i have goosebumps, i remember this scene so vividly... wow
Dude this episode had me in tears man. Great video, I remember my first time watching this episode.
Just stumbled onto this so damn cool you got your mom to watch this with you what an awesome bond you must have lol
Also love you are doing dubs... So much more nostalgic
I think you’re only the third person to want dub 😭🤣 everyone else is like “these are cool, but do sub”
the dub is fireee
@@GoldFamilyReactions i did part im subs for the end of shippuden simply because the dubs ran out when I was watching it and it was good and all but you really connect to the dub actors after 1000 some odd episodes lol plus growing up on toonami... I will never be subs guy when it comes to naruto lol
@CodyTaylor115 exactly, I’m so glad I watched after everything was out, so I could get the whole thing in dub. The only time I ever successfully switched between languages was for demon slayer. It really is more about what you started with than quality.
I show my mom different anime clips sometimes, and this is really heart warming. Your mom is cool. Show her the first time luffy uses haki after showing how goofy he is prior
Thanks! I’m still unsure if I’ll show her “clips” of stuff, but if I were to show her some, it’d prolly have to be for something we’d never watch, like boruto or something, whereas we’ll probably get to op someday! I appreciate the suggestion tho 💛💛
Dude, Congratulations on 200k Views.
Make your Mother Proud, Brother. I Believe In You and your Ability to do this..! ✌️
🙏🙏 much appreciated!
my first encounter with any anime ever was tuning into adult swim on these 2 episodes back to back when i was 15. thank GOD my parents were out of town. naruto may not be my favorite anime but this fight and rock lee's story will forever hold a place in my heart. i cry every time. DX
Aww this is awesome that your mom is willing to set aside time to watch your favourite shows with you! Treasure it brother.
She’s just chasing a bag 😆😆
Im surprise that your mom didn´t cried,she´s strong as hell. Amazing reaction,like and new sub from Argentina. PS:Im seeing dragon ball reactions and the guy use a filter to avoid copyshit,keep that in mind.
Knowing Gaaras backstory and rewatching this, seeing how much people cared for Lee and him learning he's not untouchable/undefeatable anymore. That might be one of the greatest character development moves
I got my mom to watch Naruto, she made it all the way to the end of the Pain arc before she passed away, some awesome memories being able to talk to her about Naruto. This series is awesome
I loved how mom was agreeing so much with Guy Sensei during his little pep talk, she loves Lee like everyone else does 😂
I like how she genuinely watches it and you dont push it on her. You just let her watch it and enjoy. Cool video !
“Me tearing up when Naruto says “he’s stronger than u think, you have no idea.” Knowing what’s to come.
I find it really funny when you look at it in a power scaling sense because if you high ball naruto to the extreme his speed and reaction time is well beyond light speed so he wouldn't actually be shocked at all
