It hurts how they abandoned the hardwork vs talent thing immediately after this fight. Like imagine if in the PERFECT ARC OF THE NINJA WAR, Lee had kept training and ended up mastering the gates, leading to him being extremely powerful, and able to fight as a respected Jonin, also defending the world from them by being really powerful. God why did shonen jump make kishimoto fuck up so bad
I totally agree with you, Kishimoto ignored the characters who had so much potential and made the main characters insanely powerful.. It definitely lost its charm.
well it did, you are just ignoring which character it happened with. guy had his moment to prove just how far hard work can take you, he actually almost killed madara. it mightve not been lee, but it was still cool enough seeing guy prove how much of a beast he was.
While most of the ninjas in Naruto eithed have Magic Eyes, Can turn to Giant or becoming Power Rangers, Having a Tailed Beast inside your bodies, or whatever. Lee and Guy are the perfect example of how hardworking and training are paid off. Sakura also training hard with Tsunade and has healing power but whatever the writing is, she's still useless.
I totally forgot how bloodthirsty and eager to kill Gaara was in his teen years. And Lee never used lotus again in shippuden such a shame it was awesome
Ah, such innocence. Friendly, fast, strong, analytical. The guy you want to hate at first because he was cocky towards Naruto and Sasuke and because he looks funky. Then you're shown the training he went through to go from good in nothing to be a master of taijutsu. But nah who cares about discipline and dedication when you can just be the secret descendant of a lineage with legendary powers.
Except Lee is very overpowered. He just played the Naruto game on F2P, while Naruto and Sasuke were both P2W. Everything Lee and Guy achieved was by their own blood, sweat and tears.
After the first 2 minutes I can already say this is one of the most well edited clip of a Naruto fight scene on RUclips. You kept the important action scenes and dialogue. Well done bro
I swear, when I want to watch a scene from DBZ or One piece it is editted perfectly and cuts out filler and also isn’t choppy. This might be the best Naruto YT video so far.
I heard from somewhere that Kishimoto had to make Lee lose in order for there to be a progressing story, confirming that Lee definitely could have fucked Gaara up
You are, but Lee isn't. Its kind of weird, but when you think about it, Lee suffered the WORST possible injury ever thought of in the history of Naruto and WASNT consumed by hatred. Itachi's sickness -> He was still a ninja Sasuke's blindness -> Still a ninja Naruro and Sasuke losing their arms -> They're still ninjas. Nothing changed. Kankuro poisoned by incurable poison -> Sakura and Chiyo found a cure Lee, however, got the bones in his arms and legs crushed to oblivion and the world's best medic straight up told him he'd never walk again, and the only way she was able to save them was by using a cell regeneration technique that Kabuto and Orochimaru found by inhumanly experimenting on slaves. With all of this in mind, take note that just about everyone in Naruto gets consumed by hatred to the point where they just want to destory the whole world, and Lee totally just forgave Gaara. He wasnt even remotely mad at him for giving him the injury in the first place. Even Naruto had his little fits of rage over Sasuke quite frequently. Nah nah. Lee embodies everything Naruto is supposed to stand for.
Justin Shivrattan that’s not true. It’s stated in boruto that Boruto himself has a near Minato level of genius. Not to mention he already knows 3 changes in chakra natures and has access to gentle fist without a byakugan. On top of that he has a dojustu that nobody else has. Boruto would actually fair quite well considering all of this. But yeah Boruto the anime sucks.
The animation in early Naruto was so much better than Shippuden it's crazy. Also I remember how intimidating Gaara was when he first appeared, definitely left an impression on me
How is no one talking about how good the animation is? Like holy shit, it has really aged well. This is way better than most anime nowadays, and this was from like 20 years ago.
@@oreidaazenha23 Honestly I think Boruto is good. I dont care what anyone says I think it’s a good anime. Everyone just keeps calling it bad just because it’s a sequel to Shippuden.
@@armen4ok280 Nah man boruto is a kid's show. There are so many fillers and cheap comedy with Cho Cho. Most of the episodes are so boring not to mention it is child friendly compare to Naruto which makes it even worse like you can't make a ninja's show friendly if you want it to succeed.
I think what I loved most of the dub version of the fight is when once kakashi learned from gai he learned the gates technique, he was ready to yell but took a second to calm down and ask a proper follow up. that's a legit mood when someone pissed you off to a certain point
The first time I saw Naruto was on tv when Sasuke and Naruto fought Zabuza and kakashi was trapped. I had never seen a show that cool. Naruto bring me to anime and this is one of the best show I have ever seen.
im so happy you said that, i was like 5 when it first aired in america, and during the zabuza ark my 5 year old brain said "This is the COOLEST thing ive ever seen in my life"
Like many people, this was the fight that got me into Naruto. It was 2006 on a Saturday night during a Naruto marathon- didn’t even know who Naruto was and I literally watched this purely by chance. Grew up religious too so this episode freaked me out due to the demon possession talk, I remember feeling guilty watching the show after this lol. Damn I’m 26 now. Life is crazy.
hahah, i've got similar experience but with one piece i was raised religious so everyone wearing a bikini is just the most outrageous thing i've ever seen lmao god i was so young
Wow, it's been a decade since I last saw this and I'm amazed at how good the animation is, especially compared to some of the stuff that comes out nowadays.
The eerie music when Gaara's sand shield was crumbling and then reforming after the Lotus move. It was one of my favorite sounds, when Naruto was more realistic and didn't have planets for raindrops.
@@Micheluzumakidekonoha4783 so why does it focus on sasuke so much ?? other anime eg..mha/demonslayer/jjk/bleach etc have characters with so much character development !!
This was literally the first episode of any anime I watched. As a kid I didn’t know how big this scene was. I remember thinking gaara was a badass even though he was getting whooped.
*Everyone:* Expects to see how viciously powerful Gaara is with Lee as a punching bag. After the battle. *Everyone:* Expects to see how powerful Lee is after he uses Gaara as a punching bag.
I remember very little of the character but Gaara feels like a random wizard in a martial arts show. I struggle to respect or be impressed by anything he is depicted doing.

meteriote45 it’s cause of the commentary from the other characters.
There is also more to the fight. Lee tries his finishing move
Also some of the scenes were cut
yea the full fight with the other characters and the flashbacks and the end it around 30 minutes I belive
also copyright issues
When video game communities complain that melee classes should receive buffs to be on par with spellcasters, this is what I imagine.
And you realise that without much talking and without showing the old memories , a fight would last only 5 mins
For some reason not seeing gaara throw the cork made it so much funnier
