Lee Should Have DESTROYED Gaara During the Chuunin Exams

Gaara rightfully destroyed that fodder.

I see what you mean. By comparing Lee's regular punch power to his special tai techniques, and assuming that the techniques are more powerful than a regular punch, Lee should of destroyed Gai with his Lotus kicks, etc. However, when I saw the episode, then later read the manga, I innately understood the element of surprise. In other words, Gai was sucker punched by Lee. At least in my eyes. And while Gai was expecting a fight (it was an arrange match after all) he wasn't expecting Lee's speed, I don't think anyone was. Besides, as someone else already stated, that initial punch-damage was meant to introduce Gai's sand defense; part of Plot no Jutsu. If you're still not convinced, see the fight from a more real life point of view. Ever been or seen a real fight that lasted for like only 2 seconds?--I don't encourage by the way--a good sucker punch can and often takes the most brutal looking person down. Why? Reflexives aside, because the body's endorphins (natural pain reducer) and/or adrenaline (the "fight or flight" stress hormone) haven't been working overdrive, as they would if they were already fighting. That's the effect of a sucker punch. It can be very effective in ending fights before they even start. But not always. In real life, or in manga. lolz

While none of us are ninjas able to control the elements or do supernatural feats, ninjas are humans. It is that human element the makes Naruto anime/manga so epic. As for Lee, he's one of my favorite characters in Naruto. Presuming that you're still in the Chunnin Exam arc, you'll see that Lee gets his moments to shine later on, in other ways. So enjoy, cuz Naruto is awesome!

PS-Anyways, good logic and analysis. Keep it up!! because even if one is wrong, one can learn. If one can learn, one never really loses.

Those two attacks target different parts in the body and extreme lotus was to knock off the sand didn't you notice Lee didn't punch Gaara till the last hit? He could have killed Gaara if he spammed punches like morning peacock but that would ruin the plot. He really didn't need todo the lotus attacks to win but you know that PnJ is a **** lol

Morning peacock is a techinque above the 5th gate, something Lee couldnt do.
Gaara rightfully won

Lee would have been utterly wrecked by Neji, the Sound guys, 2 tomoe Sasuke (or curse mark Sasuke) or Naruto. He's always been fodder guys.

Unweighted Lee < Neji. 4th Gate Lee >>> Neji.
Lee > Sound Four.
Are you really comparing 2 Tomoe Sasuke to Lee using four Gates?

Lee, before his injury, dominates ALL of the opponents you mentioned, with the POSSIBLE exception of CS2 Sasuke and 1-tail Naruto.

Gaara rightfully destroyed that fodder.

I agree that this thread has been going on long enough, but that right there is simply wrong. It was a close fight, and Lee outperformed pretty much everyone in his age-group, before or after.

Thanks! Nice use of real-world logic. I was actually re-reading the Chuunin-Exams Arc when this caught my eye. Might post similar stuff later, given the enormous response...

kishi didnt let dat happen cz if he did,id kill him

 

[jmnaruto12]

Extreme lotus was not needed because front lotus would be enough. Lee losing cause of lack of ninjutsu has nothing to do with it because the taijutsu was/should've been enough which is what his thread is about.

I think now that Lee is older and can take the effects of gate fine he would beat Gaara, he basicly could have before.

what !!!!! Lee now vs Gaara now ? Lee stands no chance at all

I can't believe this. 10 pages xd

The plot was only against Gaara, when his sand was destroying the ground but not breaking lee apart, when he crushed lee's limbs but he retained them and was able to stand. Gaara used the gourd's sand which made him able to use a more powerful sand armor, that was all there was to it.

[shubzy123]

Plot No Fu*cking Jutsu -_- Lee Would ANNIHALATE GAARa

 

[The Orange Spark]

At that time a long time ago, it seemed like a close match to me.....that is until Gaara fought Naruto in the Leaf Invasion. He was holding back A LOT!!! Gaara is way stronger than Lee

 

[Shīnju]

Uhm

 

[RomanceAnime]

[Insidious Smile]
