Lee was amazing in this episode and I thought the animation when he was fighting was brilliant. I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Lee was amazing in that he was able to beat the sand but looks like Gaara is just as strong as he is.

Fuck the animation was amazing in this episode. I usually don't care much for fight scenes but this is freaking great. I like Lee even more this episode...even though there seems to be no way for him to possibly beat Gaara.

Wow what an awesome episode. Didn't really like Lee before this, but man was he awesome here.
Gaara didn't have a chance. But I don't see him finished yet. Man the end was confusing.

The face in the spoiler says it all:


Awesome episode 5/5

It was nice seeing some concern on Gaara's face when he got blitzed lol, but I know it's definitely not over yet.

Lee has totally blossomed into one of my favorite characters in this series. He is totally incredible. I love his story and how similar it is to Naruto's. He wants to be acknowledged and respected as a true shinobi!

Lee taking off the ankle weights, and the fighting right after is one of the most epic moments in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden!

This episode moved Lee up on my loved characters from Naruto.Not top 10 but still he's up there.I mean yea he's lomda dumb, but at least he can be amazing sometimes,even with just taijutsu(hope I got it right).That scene were he dropped the weights was so god damn hilarious.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

It would have actually been better if Gaara had lost here, to show that he was getting cocky and complacent, instead of pulling yet another "PSYCH!!!" plot twist.

Holy shit this episode was awesome, god knows why i left this anime for so long. Rock Lee totally deserves that win, he's amazingly strong and I'm glad i got to see the iconic scene of his rock leg pads dropping off, SUGOI!!

That sand kid breaking apart was intense!! i thought hed have more to offer, crazy twist in events.

Who would've thought that Lee would be the main event for this round. Otonins should consider themselves lucky that thry fought the nerfed version.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I love Rock Lee for real. He is definitely the best side character for me in this anime. Bro is too good to not like. And HOLY SHITTT THOSE WEIGHTS???? definitely one of the strongest genins of konoha Lee is too cool, with the finishing attack in the last as well. But gaara ughh.
