right? dat foreshadowing.

Is it foreshadowing? We already have Orochimaru, so it was obvious the other two from the folktale would eventually be characters in the show.

 

[Man God]

That's nothing compared to (super ultra mega One Piece spoilers... seriously)

Spoiler

Silvers Rayleigh appearing in Buggy's flashback 500 chapters before was officially introduced

or...

Spoiler

Sanji's post timeskip appearance spoiled by a Den Den Mushi all the way back in Little Garden.

 

[BatDan]

Let us never forget that Rock Lee would eventually rise to the challenge and kill the monster known as Bleach.

Curiously, what replaced the Rock Lee spin-off after that finished up?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I'm sure Lee can beat Gaara and win all his future fights.

 

[789shadow]

or...

Spoiler

Sanji's post timeskip appearance spoiled by a Den Den Mushi all the way back in Little Garden.

HOLY SHIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS ONE

 

[foxuzamaki]

Something about him having so little Chakra he can't really do anything without being exhausted

Lee is basically early naruto but to a extreme

 

[Shard]

One Piece loves doing those things.

 

[B-Dubs]

or...

Spoiler

Sanji's post timeskip appearance spoiled by a Den Den Mushi all the way back in Little Garden.

OK that one is just bonkers

 

[Phalanx92]

So why can't Lee use ninjutsu and genjutsu? Guy can obviously use chakra. Don't see what's stopping him. What, was he born with a ninjutsu and genjutsu gland deficiency?

He can't use either because he can't weave or control chakra naturally. Think of it as a birth defect.

 

[Man God]

HOLY SHIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS ONE

eyebrows...it's always eyebrows.

 

[BassForever]

I pitty da fool kid

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Is the last arc before the anime ends any good?

Edit: referring to the canon Bleach arc. But I guess that doesn't help does it?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Lee also apparently lacks throwing in the towel skills.

Still not the same as (mega one piece spoilers)

Spoiler

Jinbei getting name dropped like 500 episodes before he even appears.

Spoiler

Sometimes I think Oda just goes back to his old stuff, picks out random things he's put into the series and makes them important later. I don't believe anyone could ever plan ahead that well.

 

[VariantX]

Spoiler

Rayleigh's cameo in the Buggy arc.

Best part of one piece is going back to past chapters and connect the dots with the new stuff.

 

[Levyne]

Woah what a unique character trait

 

[Doctor Decimate]

or...

Spoiler

Sanji's post timeskip appearance spoiled by a Den Den Mushi all the way back in Little Garden.

what was this again? i forget

 

[BatDan]

Is the last arc before the anime ends any good?

Hahahahahahahahaha.
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[blitzwolf215]

Seriously, it was a great theme. It's just too bad it got tossed to the side like that.

It was a flawed theme though, it would only really apply if people like Sasuke and Neji didn't train hard.

Spoiler

Sasuke passes Lee in like a month because of hack eye jutsu

.

 

[Jafku]

Lee also apparently lacks throwing in the stuff

Spoiler link is broken

 

[bigkrev]

Concussion!

 

[foxuzamaki]

We dont know anything about the sanin at this point,we dont even know that

Spoiler

oroochimaru was the 3rd hokage's student.

as far aswe know, oroochimaru is just a villain that has ties to the leaf village

 

[Schadenfreude]

Spoiler link is broken

Fixed it. Fix it in your quote please.

Boy it's a good thing you didn't really spoil anything here.

 

[BassForever]

Have we ever met Rock Lee's parents in the manga?

 

[Levyne]

genjutsu
taijutsu
ninjutsu

 

[Shard]

Is the last arc before the anime ends any good?

From the people who have told me, The Fullbring Arc is a jumbled mess of discount Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that ended rather quickly.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Have we ever met Rock Lee's parents in the manga?

I bet he got the eyebrows from the mom.

 

[Tenumi]

Dang it, I remembered it again, and now I can't stop hearing Davis from Digimon Season 2...

 

[mhs004]

Have we ever met Rock Lee's parents in the manga?

I just pictured guy as his "dad" or father figure.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Goddamit, Lee. ;_;

 

[BassForever]

You can do it Rock Lee

Spoiler

actually you never will, even when you get that chance Gaara has to save your ass

 

[TheAbsolution]

OK so I haven't watched Naruto in a long time. What's going on?

 

[789shadow]

WHY IS THE SHOW NOT ABOUT LEE

 

[B-Dubs]

Lee also apparently lacks throwing in the towel skills.

Spoiler

Sometimes I think Oda just goes back to his old stuff, picks out random things he's put into the series and makes them important later. I don't believe anyone could ever plan ahead that well.

He very well might, or it really could be planned. He has said straight up he's got the series already plotted out to the end. He wouldn't be the first writer to plan a serialized comic to this extent, go read Hickman's Fantastic Four run. He has the same level of planning and foreshadowing.

Lee ;_;

I remember reading in Bakuman how mangakas would do this to make connections in their manga.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

yno, i've kinda realized that Guy just sort of turned Lee into himself, appearance-wise, which is sort of creepy as hell

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Lee is a winner dammit.

 

[Seda]

Lee should have been a main character.

 

[Shard]

Rock Lee is going to listen to some Linkin Park now.

 

[Man God]

what was this again? i forget

Trivial One Piece spoiler

Spoiler

When he talks to Crocodile on the transponder snail the snails eyebrows both curl the same way.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Well, I made it. My PC is dead now though.

Having to use this small screen on my phone kinda sucks, but oh well, gotta deal with it for a while.

 

[Seda]

Good guy......Guy

 

[SykoTech]

This scene.

;_;

Spoiler

It's even worse since things don't go anywhere for him.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I feel this moment might actually be somewhat effective if Lee's voice wasn't so ear grating.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

For all you DirectTV users go to your remote and hit info go to audio/video click SAP Dolby Digital that fixed it for me.

Thanks

 

[BatDan]

Rock Lee really should have been the main character.
He would have been in a completely different story though. One without Sharingan or Tailed-Beasts.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Believe in the Guy that believes in you, Lee.

 

[Amikami]

Have we ever met Rock Lee's parents in the manga?

I don't think we ever did. Heck even Sakura's parents were introduced. Never Lee's.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Goddamit, this shit is inspirational as fuck.

OK so I haven't watched Naruto in a long time. What's going on?

Elimination mini-tournament in the Chunnin exams which are basically exams to graduate to the next level of ninja-ess.

 

[BassForever]

Lee should have been a main character.

Better and more deserving then Sasuke Naruto
