Like lee said to Sasuke: people like Sasuke are born with everything in their hand, while people like lee have to work hard and get their skills by working

[@chappell10690]

the reason why this particular fight is so freaking good, is because this is when gaara was a murderer, and everyone feared for rock lees safety, because he doesn't know anything but taijutsu. little did any of us know, this man has been training for years with an extra ton (2100 lbs). and I believe he was the first to not only hit gaara, but broke through his seemingly impenetrable defense. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This fight is what ultimately got a lot of people into Naruto, and introduced an antagonist who would make a major change to the plot. This is the first time they encountered someone their age, other than Haku, being very dangerous and believably unbeatable. This fight is when things, arguably, started getting serious.

[@VRIceblast]

One of the best fights in anime. It was so unexpected, that this fight was going to be so good. It went to epic levels. Lee wasn't really taken seriously up to this point, and we didn't really know much about him, but boy did he surprise us all!

[@alexinivai08]

They did a pretty good job at portraying how fast Lee is. I fell in love with the animation

Back when there was no youtube or normal working websites where I could watch anime. My friend hyped up this show called Naruto and gave me a CD which he put some random Naruto episode on it. My brother helped me with the video player and we watched the show together. It was the episode with Rock Lee vs Gaara. And holy crap, what an episode to start the show.

[@MMAli-rq8kd]

*This fight made Naruto the most popular Anime.* You share it with someone and they immediately go to the beginning and tolerate all the filler till the end.

[@SenseofNoneYT]

2000s anime already had a decent amount of sakuga animators actually. But they were there, albeit rare, even in the 90s. The legendary Yutaka Nakamura first got the spotlight in the late 90s. But ultimately, I don't think being a 2000s anime means it doesn't have great animation. Just that there's a significant abundance of great animators nowadays, likely inspired by the OGs.

[@kayqueelson1761]

Exactly. For a non-digital animation, it's really impressive.

I've always pointed that out, and to me, shows how strong Neji was as well even at this stage of the Chunin exam. Lee's speed is not out of Neji's capabilities. Team Guy was really head and shoulders above the Konoha 12 at this point.

"He wont lose to anyone" Proceeds to lose Every.Single.Fight. that isnt filler or against nameless mooks

[@FireWolf583]

Oh Lee? Well to be fair he did try to fight when he was still healing from the damage caused by Gaara. Other times he didn’t really intend to win fights, mostly he just wanted to buy some time. Lee prefers fighting with others beside him, because he knows his own strengths and weaknesses. He can’t take on many people by himself unless he constantly uses the Gates or Lotus, which as we see in this fight is exhausting.
