Taka Sasuke Vs SRA Gaara

[Forbidden Technique]

Nah he switched up against 1st gate lee

Damn, my bad. Seems my memory on this manga is fading, smh. That's my favorite fight in the whole series too.

@ Unorthodox, Taka Sasuke doesn't have Manda. Manda died before Sasuke took his Taka form. Sorry to break it to you, but Sasuke isn't blitzing someone who can at least keep up with Jonin level speed from 50 meters without any type of mental reaction. Deidara completely avoided his Shunshin blitz from a shorter distance, never mind just a mental thought.

Sasuke Shunshins---> Gaara applies sand armor---> Sword slash in rendered ineffective---> Gaara sets up his dome and proceeds to make sand underground.

 

[Booker]

CE Gaara could switch himself with a clone while 5G Lee momentarily paused in pain. SRA Gaara was strong enough to become Kazekage some point within the 2 and a half year time skip, so his physical skillset at SRA wasn't by any means lacking, evident by his fight with Kimimaro. All he needs to do is make a mental reaction, and activate his sand armor that isn't penetrable with a sword lacking Raiton chakra.

Taka Sasuke blitzing someone without reaction who wasn't too far off Kage tier from 50 meters is highly doubtful, and that's being generous.

Good for Gaara. Part 1 Lee with any gates couldn't scratch Taka Sasuke's ballsack if he tried.
