First is the fact that even though Lee is facing three opponents, he uses a move that he knows will only take out one opponent (which it doesn't) and then leave him completely helpless. Even worse is when it's later revealed that he can simply take off his ankle weights and move at superhuman speed. More than fast enough to take out all three sound ninjas. Why didn't he just take the weights off and beat them?

Plot-No-Jutsu affects thousands of Ninja every day. But you can help. Just 1 letter to Kishimoto could make a difference. Thank you.

Plot. Kishi was saving that as a reveal against Gaara, therefor he could not showcase it beforehand even if he should have story wise.

But in honesty Literally the majority of the nijna's in the narutoverse are held back by plot, and most of the others enhanced by it. Sad fact of the matter.

Never thought about that. 100% agreed... Or maybe Lee's just stupid? XD

This. He would have rape those 3 and Tenten stated something like "he would not lose to them if he was alone"

This is a prime example of plot hindering a character from performing to their fullest ability. The very reason why i don't consider manga scenarios in.discussions, too many things to consider.

Because Lee was pretty arrogant about his abilities up until the final round of the Chuunin Exams.

Plus, he was so dedicated to his nindou.

People should stop throwing 'plot' around as an excuse and think about it logically, because that's the trouble, people don't think.

So arrogant and dedicated that he was willing to throw away his life, and the life of the girl he likes just because Gai might be upset? Unlikely.

In case you forgot, Lee also promised sakura that he would always protect her, and Gai had an agreement that one's abilities can be used fully when protecting one's comrades and loved ones. It was 100% plot in this situation. Accept it.

Because gai told him no to show his full power unless needed, and Neji and Tenten were on there way

It's not that uncommon for anime/manga to risk their lives in training. I remembers fights in which one fighter tests him/her self via handicaps, believing that it will be the ultimate test. As if you were playing an Ultimate Ninja Storm game and decide you want to get better at brute fighting and use no jutsu, so you continue to fight even in ranked games without using jutsu in an attempt to truly hone your skills. Crappy comparison but just an idea >_>

Then why did he use Primary Loutus knowing it would incapacitate him?

Nothing less than I would expect from you, lack of clear comprehension.

Arrogance does not equal selfishness, the former was the same case with Naruto and Sasuke and yet they put their lives on the line for their comrades.

100% Arrogance, accept it.
