| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was....actually kinda amusing. We got Metal Lee fighting in a match that got everyone wondering. Hell, the crowd was even sold into it after seeing Metal Lee getting serious into the fight. Personally, I thought this was one of the more entertaining episodes. Hell, Metal Lee even got an approval from Might Guy! |
 |
| Wasnt Metal lee already able to use the first few gates in the beginning of the show? That one time when shikadai tried to stop him with his shadow possession jutsu ? |
| Anxiety-ken, cool technique. |
 |
| I really liked this episode, especially the fighting style Metal adopted. It was very reminiscent of Rock Lee's drunken fist. |
| Hmm this was a pretty good episode. Metal's determination to overcome his anxiety as well as Lee and Guy's attempt to help him all combined to make his improvement an entertaining journey to watch. The match between Lee and Metal was also pretty impressive. Though not gone completely Metal at least took a step in the right direction. |

| Lol at when Guy, Lee, and Metal all hugged, and Lee said "this feels so nostalgic." That's probably what all the viewers, myself included, were thinking. Anyway, it's good to see Metal take a step toward overcoming his anxiety. It doesn't seem to gone completely, which we saw at the end of the episode, but of course it's not going to be that easy. I really liked the fight between Lee and Metal, as we got to see a Drunken Fist-esque fighting style from Metal that even Lee struggled against. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
It's always the subtle details that make me enjoy the anime run... In this case it was this small detail: Even the fire exit sign does the Naruto run. Anyways, this episode was kinda amusing for a filler, but really. Why can't they update the OP and EP - they're so boring; they really gotta move on from this slice of life theme they got going on... And the anime too, it does them no good to be having these fillers that don't even contribute to the story; at least the Naruto series had fillers that were able to fill in the blanks or give greater detail. These fillers can't even do that, today's episode is probably the most useful filler we've had in a while; 'cause at least we know how Metal will battle against his anxiety. Whereas that whole débâcle of Cho Cho pining over an actor makes you want to give up this anime. |

| After the horrible Cho-Cho filler we got a rather awesome filler episode. I wish we'd get the real story tho, but at least this episode was good. I loved it how Guy fell from the sky in that wheelchair. Also Guy's been living in that village for more than 40 years, and he forgot that there are stairs at the academy? And Guy forgot the name of his greatest opponent he has ever faced. Writing it down, it just reminded me how he also kept forgetting Kisame's name. Funny detail. The fight seemed also cool. At least for a filler, it was really cool. The exit-sign was also funny. Now I think we have seen that sign before, but I'm really not sure. |
| god, another filler... every week i lose more and more interest in this show... |
 |
| Lmao at the end how Gai jumped down on the stage in his wheelchair. That preview lmaoo. |
 |
| Lol nice to see guy again but any info when the filler will stop? |
 |
| Gai-sensei looked like a grandpa when Rock and Metal hugged him! lolz next episode would feature one of the Legendary Shinobi of the Great War Ohnoki, the molecular..no! the atomical level jutsu user! cool! but he's already too old for that! 5/5. |
 |
| Still skirting the topic of Metal's mother. Wonder how long they can keep this up lol This was a fun episode. Getting more Lee and Guy focused episodes is always fun. |
| Not a "bad" filler, still ok |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
otaku_nerd7 said: And I thought Guy would name Madara; but then I forgot that he tends to forget his opponent's name; we all know how many times he forgot Kisame!!! The last part between Metal and Rock Lee was really good. Again made me feel nostalgic with the drunken fist in a new style!!!!! I felt the same way! This episode made me laugh and grin and feel so nostalgic. I have a soft spot for Guy, Lee and Metal. They are so silly and true to their character, which makes me a bit jealous, haha! It's wonderful they don't pretend to be someone else and strive to be the best version of themselves. |
superdutchman said: This filler alone is better than the 3 boring trash previous episodes about Cho-Cho lol but it's all canon lol |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| so Metal is still Metal after the very end |
"Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| What can I say, I don't care for Lee family at all :x |
  |
| Unbelievable... the fillers are more exciting than the actual episodes. I loved - loved seeing a great non-Boruto/Sarada episode. Finally, there is a focus on someone other than them, especially a child of one of the Rookie 9. Guy and Rock Lee's relationship has always been my favorite in the Naruto series and I'm so happy to see them extend the legacy in Boruto. The classic taijutsu fight scenes, as always, adds essence to the series. I swear we don't see them enough. I really hope the author doesn't neglect Metal Lee as the manga/anime continues. One of the best episodes of the anime so far. |
| Typical "accepting yourself" episode. Kinda funny to see how Metal got one episode to himself whereas Cho-cho got 3 episodes ^^ |
 |
| Wow. Nice episode after that pure trash "Guard the Actors" Arc. |
 |
| I hate to compare but, seeing them fighting their struggles to get stronger is kinda mehhh ridiculous compare to that naruto characters. It's kinda downgrading from 10 to 2 for me. |
Here we go. I've heard much about this arc so I have high hopes for it.
I loved this episode. Lee and Guy have always been some of my favorite characters in the series, so it was awesome to get an entire episode with them. Metal is cool too, and I feel like he can become really strong if he overcomes his fears. |
