He would have gotten bodied 😂

[@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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MMAli-rq8kd]

This fight made Naruto the most popular Anime IMO.

[@FireWolf583]

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!

[@TheDaxter11]

This single handedly not only makes me want to rewatch Naruto, but makes me wanna get the latest fighting game, provided its got everything from beginning to end of Naruto.

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

[@gengchen335]

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.

[@richsalazme]

For me this is the most iconic moment in Naruto. Not only because of the reveal and the fight, but the animation was dialed to 10!

[@face2face78]

When they fight using strategies not only cool named moves

[@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.

[@blakodesu3769]

Yeah, I didn't remember it being this good when I first watched it.

[@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.

[@guesswho7881]

I remember watching this around 15 years ago, I was blown away by this scene, to me it’s hands down the best fight in the first series

I love how universal the reaction is when Lee finally injures Gaara! It's been built up so much about this invulnerable dude and Lee just double ax-kick's him in the noggin - its so satisfying in such an aesthetically pleasing way, too

[@-8h-]

One of the best fights in anime history, and somehow it's better with the English dub.

[@masterreaper115]

"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.

I hope these reactions are genuine because it brings me so much joy to see that first time experience again after all these long years

Had shaman king, hunter x hunter, and all kinds of shit. A few years pass and I kept walking to that Albertsons to buy them every month. Eventually Naruto started getting printed on their. Quickly became an interest, and then several years pass by. AND fucking boom, Naruto had a cartoon on toonami. Didn’t know that they were called anime but was so invested in the show and then the Rock Lee vs Garaa fight happened and in middle school I wouldn’t shut up about how cool it was. So many other kids were like TOU WATCH NARUTO?! Hahaha and we started playing some ninja mimic game because of it. Ahhhh fun times.
