    I know it’s a meme to talk about my boy rock Lee, but literally one of the most hype fight scene powerups of all time, and one of the most compelling characters of no natural talent/bloodline just effort and heart, and they sidelined him hard!

    Rock Lee for hokage 2024!

      Rock Lee only uses tae (Thai?) jutsu but is one of the few characters I’d expect an entertaining fight from if he went toe to toe with anyone in the series. He wouldn’t necessarily win, but his secret power was that everyone underestimated him, even those who knew he was strong didn’t appreciate just how strong he was until he surprised them.

      It was always hilarious to watch the dynamic between Guy and Lee with Tenten and Negi helplessly watching on as the two worked each other up.

        Agreed, any fight with him is entertaining even if he has no shot at winning. Even when he was bound to lose to kimimaro bro gets drunk and tries anyway, becoming some of the best fights the series would see for awhile.
