Ah, didn't Lee need to get wasted off sake to keep up with - or not get skewered by Kimimaro? Then, at the end when Gaara and Lee looked utterly f*cked - they were saved by the fact Kimimaro's illness killed him mid-jutsu? :hmm:

"Best" to me puts agility, flexibility, speed, finesse and fluidity over raw power and brute force. So Kimimaro > Rock Lee.

Drunk Lee had Kimmimaro on the defensive. Once Kimmimaro started using his bones to shield himself, Lee started to get wrecked.

Man Lee and Neji could have been something special. Back before I started watching part two I always thought Lee would master Drunken Fist style without actually being drunk and have it as a second stance. But nah Kishi basically said, "I have an idea, let's forget about all the cool characters I introduced in part one even though I gave them a sh!t load of room for improvement,depressing back stories and even cool techniques. Even though I barely developed them,Haha!".

That wouldn't make much sense IMO. Gates is all about overwhelming your opponent with insane speed and strength. Drunken Fist is about catching your opponent off guard with unpredictable movements, the two styles contradict each other.(See my above post)

The gates would allow him to surpass his prior physical limitations - not define his taijutsu style.

His regular style is suited for gates which is my point, which is also to overwhelm the opponent with speed and strength.

I think gates would contradict being used with Drunken Fist.

He wouldn't be able to defend against an Hyugas attacks, that's why he was so special in part one, nobody then could bypass his defense.

Wrong again. Remember Kidomaru's sticky gold armor he used to block the chakra distortion the gentle fist emits when in combat? Kimimaro's own bone kkg does the same, as the bone forms a shield throughout his entire body. Hence why Orochimaru said no physical attacks can stand against the Kaguya.

Kimimaro - Lee stated his taijutsu was near flawless, not a wasted movement. Then given his blood limit, it's a perfect supplement to his style. I like how it's so fluid/graceful - very neat.

Should be noted that like Itachi, Kimimaro had to be taken out via Mystery Illness.


After that? I like Gentle Fist.

Itachi is the best leaving out lee and neji who are natural taijutsu users,remember when edo tensei itachi fought naruto.His speed and strength matched naruto in kurama's chakra mode

Wrong. Kido's technique is entirely different from Kimi's. You should know that. Kidomaru's skin technique was specifically designed to block chakra based attacks while Kimmimaro's KKG just allows him to create bones, change the size of them,and use them as weapons. In retrospect they are still regular bones, no matter how hard they were.

Oh lord what. Kidomaru's skin has the capability to form gold armor through his pours to block physical attacks. Kimimaro's bone can do the same from the inside of his skin hence why he effortlessly blocks, and take no damage from physical ones. The two can be used in the same way as the other.

Are you seriously argueing that gold, and bone can't be used to block chakra? :lol physical chakra can't pass through solid objects :lol

Kimimaro would have been dead if not for his bone manipulation. In the second photo, you can see through the holes in his skin, the bone armor covering his entire body, hence why he was able to shrug off Gaara's OHKO technique. :lol simple bruh.

Solid = Blocks chakra.

Kimimaro's Bone KKG can form armor from below his skin blocking the Hyuga clan's chakra distortion.

Kidomaru's Sticky Gold Armor can form armor from above his skin blocking the Hyuga clan's chakra distortion.

Simple :lol

Skin is a complex tissue made from both Solids, and liquids. It isn't a pure solid which is why Chakra can pass through it. :p

While Metal is obviously solid. Bone's exterior is solid. Which is why Chakra would not be able to pass through it.

You're still not understanding that it is still regular bone no matter how hard, which is what i said earlier. Kidomaru's technique is specially made to block chakra based attacks and is not bone. Meaning, an Hyuga could potentially penetrate and damage him from the inside with Jyuken. Gaara's technique is a pure crushing force, not a technique specifically designed to damage organs and shut down chakra points. Meaning if the armor is hard enough, they won't be crushed.
